BOMB OUTRAGE
is GANG REPLY
IN CRIME WAR
Counter Offensive Started
by Citizens Army
Commander.
BY RAY BLACK,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-The roar Of
a big Bertha" bomb that had
blown a near north side laundry
into wreckage and injured two by
ISLANDERS, was the ominous echo on
which a tall, gray-eyed engineer
began his battle today TO rid Chi
cago of gang menace.
With q secret group Of industrial
and commercial leaders as his coun-
ell Of war and an apparently IN
limited reserve Of gold on which
to draw, Robert Isham Randolph,
who learned what fighting means
with The American army overseas,
ma. d out his campaign with the
GOODNESS Of a World war general.
Most of the near north side was
rocked by Tuesday nights explo-
sion. Residents we're hurled from
their beds in the district surround
ing the two-story building housing
the Northwestern Laundry Com
pany, and ran to the streets in
terror.
Patients TerrOrized
Darkness added to the confusion
as switches in the nearby plant Of
the Commonwealth Edison Com
pany were thrown out. Patients at
the Chicago General hospital were
terrorized by the roar, followed by
tremOrs and failing lights.
Mrs. Elsi Foreman, walking IN the
street with her husband, was struck
on the head by flying glass and
taken to a hospital.
Randolph, the generaiSsimo of
big business war against the rack
eteers, was expected to call his staff
together at once to plan a counter
attack. More than 1000 arrests al
ready have been made.
Gangsters Leave
Who his aids are only Randolph
and a few other leading figures in
the Chicago Association of Com
merce know. Their plans are secret
But out Of the daily conferences of
the generalissimo and the business
leaders are expected to come a sue
cession Of Offensives with a gang
less Chicago as the ultimate objec-
tive.
Already the exodus Of gunner
from the city has brought COM
plants from other cities, including
points throughout Illinois and adj
Joining states. Indictments returned
here against nineteen gunner Tues
day impressed gangland that big
business means business when it
says this is to be war without quar-
ter.
With the exception Of Tuesday
nights bombing. police records
showed fewer crimes than in weeks.
