HUCKSTERS OPPOSE
FORESTALLING LAW
[Continued from First Page.]
sure that It would bring results pro
vided it was properly enforced.
Some of them intimated that if the
police do not see that forestalling
and price fixing stops, they will or
ganize committees to watch buyers
in the markets, and when they find
evidences of violations of the law
they will prosecute the offenders be
fore city aldermen.
"It is time that official action is
taken to end the overcharging caused
by forestallers buying up vegetables
and fruits and reselling tl)em at ad
vanced prices, thus forcing up prices
generally," one resident said: "Coun
cil should pass the ordinance at once
and then insist on its enforcement.
If it is merely brought before Coun
cil and approved finally but violat
ors are allowed to continue their
I work, then it might as well not be
considered.
Concern in Markets
In the markets there is much con
cern about what action Council will
take. Those who do wholesale busi
ness with other regular dealers in
timated that they will ask for com
plete explanations of just how the
ordinance might affect them.
One man who sells weekly to an
other dealer about 12 pounds of but
ter which the second one then dis
poses of to regular customers asked
whether the latter would be affected
by the clause which prohibits re
selling. Other cases like this may
develop, ft was predicted, but cus
tomers declare that they know prac
tically all the dealers in the mar
kets who have such arrangements
in order to supply regular trade with
certain commodities which they or
dinarily do not have.
They sajd that the forestalling or
dinance will stop buyers from going
through the markets before the us
ual crowds of customers arrive, or
who meet farmers and truckers out
side the markets, and buy up pro
duce, then resell it at grsatly ad
vanced prices.
A lengthy discussion of the ordi
nance is expected at the Council
session next Tuesday, all of the
commissioners showing much inter
est in the measure when it was read
for the first time this week.
DREADNAUGHTS
ARE IN CANAL
[Continued from First Page.]
oiled at Colon this afternoon she
swung lazily into Linton bay whence
she took the two ships part of the
way to the dam, creeping slowly
through the first cuttings of the
waterway amid dense jungle growth
like some weird amphibian in a pre
historic swamp.
Nearing the locks, the crew flung
landing lines overboard, which
quickly drew inboard steel cables
that led to the electric "mules"
running on tracks on each side of
the locks. The whole operation
seemed to function automatically,
for not an order was heard as the
dreadnaughts slid into the lower
locks as easily as a shuflle into a
sewing machine.
Rapidly as Row Boat
The steel gates astern the flag
ship then closed like great jaws and
churning water rose up from via
ducts in the bottom of the lock,
while the New Mexico was lifted
as easily and rapidly as a row boat.
The flagship was then lifted out of
ttie-next two locks in the same fash
ion while crowds standing on top
of the concrete lock walls threw ba
nanas and cocoanuts at the ship's
crew.
Twenty destroyers went through
the canal Thursday, passing through
the locks in groups of ten. Captain
Twining, chief of staff, said that
the canal had proved its naval value
beyond a doubt, as dreadnaughts
may be easily moved from the At
lantic to the Pacific with celerity
and without trouble as shown by
to-day's operation.
The Pacific fleet will leave Pana
ma for San Diego, Cal„ Sundav
night.
