CHICAGO BEGINS
SECRET DRIVE

CHICAGO, March IL QN.S0.-
With $50 murders charged to Chi.
cago's hoodlum world since it
chalked up its first killing in
September, 1923, and more in
prospect, citizens, the underworld.
and the world at large are await
ing with keen interest the effects
Of a much heralded million dollar
onslaught on crime here by buSi-
ness and industrial leaders headed
by the Secret Six" an executive
committee appointed by the Chi
cago Association Of Commerce to
organize and carry out its cam
paign against crime.
Has Three-fOId Aim
The purpose of the drive is
three-fold:
First, to oust gangsters, ex-
torters, blacknailers and poll
ticians "in cahoots" with them
from their allied strongholds.
Second, to make crime unprofit-
able either to the criminals or to
those who might be protecting"
them from the inside"
Third, to counteract the popular
impression that Chicago is the
worlds toughest" town.
The crime war committees
plan, fundamentally, is not de-
signed along the lines of STAN
peding all suspicious looking char.
acters out of the city. The steam
rolling method has been left to
the police, who have resorted to
it widely in the last few weeks
with the expected results-a
"show-up" parade Of 5000 suspici-
GUS persons and the clogging Of
courts with cases Of minor police
characters.
The Secret Six" however, in
tend to divide the city into its
"badland' sections, place an in
vestigating committee in charge Of
each district, and secure informa-
ton not only on criminals in that
section, but also of the status and
character of policemen, poll
ticians, judges. lawyers and
"moneyed" powers. On the basis
of this data, it hopes to sweep
into the hands Of the law not
only the gangsterS, but also the
big shots"
Nor will the men entrusted with
this task be faced with the neces-
Sity of invading virgin territory.

The British equivalent which
was formed last November, is
known as the Guild Of Air Pilots
and Air Navigators Of the British
Empire. and like the American
Pilots Union has one Of les prin-
cipal objects the protection Of its
members interests on all ques-
tions affecting their employment.
The British guild, however, is
Of rather wider scope than its
American counterpart, for in addi-
ton, it aims are to promote the
consideration Of all questions af.
fecting its members and to pro-
tect and advance the NtntereSts Of
commercial aviation.
To Promote Interest
In brief, it constitutes q body
Of experienced airmen who will
be able to act as members Of, or
give evidence before, royal COM
missions and the like, and it will
consider and promote improve
mentS in the laws affecting COM
mercial aviation as well as under.
taking to improve and elevate the
technical knowledge of its mem
berS.
The personal interests Of its
members have also been consider.
ed, and the guild is about to in.
troduce an unemployment inSur-
ance measure which has long
been needed in commercial avia-
ton.
This measure will take the
form Of giving facilities to mem
bers to insure their pilots certi.
ficates against loss or suspension
whether through their own fault
or by circumstances beyond their
control.
Badly Needed
Such a means Of insurance,
which has for some time past
been current among certified Off
GERS Of the mercantile marine,
was badly needed in commercial
aviation. where a pilot with de-
pendentS who loses his ticket" is
powerleSs to obtain further en-
ployment in aviation Of any
kind.
Membership Of the guild is
open to all certified air pilots
and air navigators who are British
