How Chicago Breeds It's Gangsters

CHICAGO While policemen,
detectives and private investigat-
ors by the dozen scurry around In
a desperate effort to get Chicago's
amazing crime situation in hand. a
gray-haired little Scotchman sits
in his office in Northwestern
University's Law Ssiiccf and coolly
remarks that gangland Is never
going to be suppressed that way.
This man is Judge Andrew Bruce.
professor of constitutional and
criminal law at Northwestern,
president Of the American Institute
Of Criminal Law and Criminos0gy,
and one OF the foremost Rlsn6<it-
les in the nation on gangs Ind the
reasons for them.
Judge Bruce peers out from be-
hind his glasses with eyes that see
beyond the present, into the future;
beyond the cleaning spires OF
Michigan boulevard and TO the sod
den slums back o. the yards: be-
yond the historical furry Of the
moment. provoked by the latest
gang murder to the long years Of
patient. intelligent study and hard
work that must come before Chi
cago's gangs will die.
1 asked him simply, why is a
gangster?" And In what Judge
Bruce said / not only learned
about gangs and crimes: I learned
something. l think. about Chicago
as a whole. and about America.
The whole thing" said Judge
Bruce, is a question or environ
ment and example. 1t Is an Incl
dent in the migratory nature Of
our population; an incident in
enormous and sudden growth OF
our cities; an incident In the fact
that we have a very large number
Of foreign-born citizens whose
children are largely unable To
adapt themselves to their new
environment.
Poverty and Congestion
Gangs are chiefly to be found In
the tumble-down, changing areas
OF the city, where on account of
poverty and perhaps In older to
be near his work-which Is an
incident Of poverty. since he can't
pay railroad or street car fare-the
newly arrived immigrant centers.
And II isn't only the immigrant
who settles there. but also the men
who wander from city to city for
work, and the down and outs OF
our American civilization.
There is one district in Chi
cago where there are 1900 BOYS
between 10 and IL. Of whom from
$50 to 500 are delinquent every
year. The crime OF Chicago will be
found largely centered in certain
areas-the down and out, or chang
ing areas.
The youngsters have no aSso-
ciates except those whom they find
on the streets. They live in
tenements; their parents often
cannot speak English. and at any
rate are hard at work most Of the
time, and ii Is the prevailing senti-
ment Of the streets that influences
the children. In many or these
districts this sentiment is criminal.
II looks on crime as an avenue
to success.
The children see the gambler.

" when he sees those very men

Put a child in the right kind OF
community, with the right kind OF

won't be a criminal. Every gangster
had his beginning. He started.
invariably, as a petty juvenile

The Real Solution
The solution or the gang muir
ders In this city Is to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg.
The gangsters are killing each
other for the control OF the liquor
business, the vice business and the
gambling business, etc. II we
persistently raided these establish
ments and suppressed them we'd
take the profit on. OF the business
and there'd be nothing for the

do that well have crime. AS long

our criminals are between the
