SEEN IN DETROIT
Restaurant Men Ask Police
to Curb Places Running
Regular Cafe Business.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 6.-Blind pigs
that serve meals and lunches have
become SO numerous here, according
to the Detroit branch of the National
Restaurant Association that the police
department has been asked TO 90
something about 1t.
At present, according TO the findings
of a committee appointed by the asso-
citation, there are 1900 blind pigs III
Detroit. Eighteen months ago former
Police Commissioner Frank Croul
estimated the number at $4,000.
The committee charges that 80 per
cent of the blind pigs either are sell
ing or giving away food to their
customers and that they are feeding
from five to six times as many per-
sons as the 1000 restaurants and
hotels of the city.
One official of the restaurant asso-
citation who refused to permit his
name to be used for fear of reprisals
from blind pig owners said that
restaurants are losing much money
because of the pig operations.
Every restaurant In Detroit" he
said, actually is losing money on its
investment. We estimate from the
findings of our secret investigators
that the 1900 blind pigs are taking
in nearly 100000 a day, almost
100000 each week. .
This gigantic business allows the
blind pig operator to sell food at cost,
making it up on high-priced drinks.
The business man now walks out of
his office into a blind pig, where he
may get perhaps little in the way
of food but everything to drink with
it. The factory worker also is going
into the community blind pig for his
noon lunch, while the restaurant own
er in the vicinity is losing money and
in many cases being forced to close
his business altogether"

This may be a real neutrality move,
and again it may be cover for Iur-

From Sofia come stories or sRu-
