Secretary

Baltimore, Md., Tuesday, Oct. 12th, 1937.

Report of committee appointed to interview Charles T. LeViness, 3rd, assistant Attorney General, at the Attorney General's office, 19th floor Baltimore Trust Building.

The committee consisted of President Sol Levinson, Vice-President George A. Farley, John Ullrich and Charles E. Delosier, Secretary.

After explaining apprenticeship applications to Mr. LeViness, he ruled that for an apprentice to complete his time, as required by law, he would be required to serve his apprenticeship at that place of business from which the principal work was conducted by the funeral director or embalmer under whom said apprentice was serving his apprenticeship; and that to serve an apprenticeship, in the meaning of the act, an apprentice would be required to serve full time and not part time.

After explaining the Williamson case to him, he stated that the law has no control over who owns the building in which a business is conducted, or who owns the rolling stock and equipment used in the business, as long as the business is run under a licensed funeral director and he has charge or supervision over all work done by said place of business.

After explaining surrender of license of Richard F. Curley, Funeral Director, Inc., the Assistant Attorney General stated that the President had no right to surrender license for a corporation unless authorized to do so by the vote of the Board of Directors, neither has the Board the right to cancel the license of a corporation unless authorized to do so by the Board of Directors. Therefore, unless Richard F. Curley is a principal stock holder in the corporation and has the Board of Director's vote to surrender license, he has no authority to surrender same.

After showing him application of People's Funeral Home, Inc., he ruled that the Board could not cancel said license because they had registered within the meaning of the act, even though they had not completed form of registration correctly.

Baltimore, Md., Thursday, Oot. 21, 1937.

The Board appeared in the City Court, part #2, before Judge Frank in answer to a writ of mandamus in behalf of J. Liston Wiedefeld, Isaiah L. Brown, Hazel P. Kelson, Lydia G. Chase, Samuel W. Sullivan, Jr., George P. Kelson, Joseph G. Locks, Arthur B. Simms, Goals Wilson, William A. Jackson, Roland A. Brown and Louis P. Davenport.

After hearing petition of Attorney General for dismissal of proceedings, Judge Frank ruled in behalf of the Board.

The following members were present at the hearing:


Mr. William Cook, Mr. Charles E. Delosier, Secretary.
