PCI stated that this company recruits its help among the derelicts on Skid Row in Chicago and that although it receives $17 or $18 per day for each employee, only $6.50 is given to the employee. PCI advised that the company has an arrangement with TOM BURKE, an official of the Janitors Union in Chicago, whereby BURKE receives $2,000 per month from the company in return for assistance in keeping the employees of the company ununionized and in obtaining business accounts for the company. This gives the company the obvious advantage of not having to pay union wages or funds into the union welfare fund for each employee.

Chicago hotels, the Eastgate and the St. Clair, although his name does not appear on records of these hotels. It is j believed that if this information can be proved, that ALEX is susceptible to prosecution for an evasion of income taxes.
