Gangsters Rule Village

Forest View, a small village just
south of Cicero, is practically owned
and absolutely controlled by "Scarface
AL" Capone, notorious Chicago booze
runner, declares Captain John Siege
of the detective bureau, following a
raid by his squad on this village.
The entire village consists of two
hotels and forty shacks. 1t was in
corporated about 10 months ago by
Captain Joseph Nosek, commander of
the headquarters company of the Hi
nois National Guard, when it was dis
covered that about PIP acres of land,
formerly believed to be a part of
Stickney, were not in the village at
alls
Shortly after the incorporation of
the village "Scarface Al" Capone and
his gunner descended on the village
and forced the village authorities to
move out, and the Capone gangsters
assumed control of the village admin
istration.
Frank "Porky" Dillon, a paroled
convict living at 1907 West North ave-
nue. in Chicago, is the chief of police
of Forest View. Harry Fisher, an
other Capone henchman, is president
of the village. The three village trus-
tees have never been in the village.

SWEET DEFENSE
SEEKS QUASHING
OF MURDER CASE
Ask State to Nolle Prose-
Indictments

DETROIT, May 2S.-The acquittal of
Henry Sweet, younger brother of DR..
ossian H. Sweet, has smashed the
case of the state against the II Ne
groes charged with the murder of
Leon Breiner one of the, mob that
sought to lynch the Sweets and their
friends for daring to move into a
home they purchased in a pure
white district. Lawyers1efor the de-
Tense are now taking the steps to
have the state mol prose- the indict-
ments against DIR. Ossaino II. Sweet
and nine other Negroes. -r
1t is expected that the state will
comply with the demands OF the de-
Tense as it realizes the utter impos-
sibility of getting a jury that will send
the Sweets and their friends to the
gallows or to long terms IN prison.
The state lost out in two trials. In
the first case the trial resulted in the
dismissal Of the jury after failing to
reach a verdict. At the second trial,
Henry Sweet, against whom the state
claimed they had the most evidence,
was acquitted after the Jury had de.
liberated but a few hours.

going to pieces in every part OF the
nation, the present administration OF
the union takes little interest in the
union-smashing campaign Of the,
bosses. On the contrary, the chief
pastime Of the bureaucrats Is an In
tensive attempt to exterminate all
militant and progressive elements and
thought from the union.
The bosses go merrily on with their
union smashing, little or no official
opposition being met. In Elm Grove
the union has held but one mass
meeting and at that meeting the
whole speech Of the organizers was to
the effect "look out for the reds, tell
us who they are, We'll expel them"
Organize The Unorganized.
Within a very short period of time
the miners union will be thing OF
the past, if things are left as they are
just, now. The miners union must
undertake an intensive campaign to
organize the unorganized, to attempt
organizing every coal miner in Amer
lea, before the miners can feel Sc
cure. Only with a powerful union and
militant leadership can the coal
bosses be taught a lesson, can the
miners stop their ruthless campaign
of lowering wages and worsening
conditions.
The question Of organizing the I'M
organized is question paramount at
this time, and for the realization Of
this demand and necessity the Amer
lean miners must fight. To stand
idly by and permit the employing
class to wreck the union and lower
the standard of life of the miners Is
reputation of the principles and
function of the U. M. w. OF A. and
cannot be tolerated by any thinking
miner. The miners must rally to the
progressive miners cause If the u.
M. w. Of A. is to be saved.
