CAPONE CROWN
SOUGHT BY RICH
STRIKEBREAKER
New York Trucking Kings
S500,0O0 Income Hit in
Tax Charge.
BIZ United Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Pudgy
boyish-faced, hard boiled Peter De-
vito, truckman, is New York's most
successful strike breaker with an an
nual income of 100000, and an am
bition to succeed as big boss" his
old schoolboy friend, AL Capone.
Devito's strike breaking successes
and income we're revealed by federal
income tax collectors who arrested
the unheralded big shot" Wednes-
day in his comfortable brick home
where he lay abed, surrounded by
loaded pistols and sword cane
equipped with a flashing Toledo
blade.
The curly black-haired 33-year-
old GEAR" described his school days
with Capone in Brooklyn, didn't de-
ny he was now the big boss" in
Brooklyn and Queens, and said he
expected to succeed Scarface Al in
about six months because Alphonse
was looking for a successor.
Paid Only S243 Tax
Devitos arrest was the result Of
the same trouble suffered by Ca
pone in his last conflict with the
law-income tax reports. He was
arTaigned on the federal Indictment,
then was released in $4,000 bail for
trial Oct. Is.
The federal indictment charged
he made an incorrect report on his
$500, 1853 income back in 1929. De-
vito lied on the income but claimed
exemptions which resulted in a net
tax Of only $243.19.
The government claims his tax
able income was 100000 above the
figure he submitted, and that his
tax should have been $50, 39754.
Standard Oil Big Client
So he arrest with the revela-
ton that a comparatively unknown
figure was big boss" of Brooklyn,
THE only man in greater New York
who can successfully break a strike
at any time" according to United
States Attorney Howard w. Amei.
Devito's chief source of income,
as revealed in his income reports,
has been the Standard Oil Co.
of New York and several other con-
Germs involved in strikes. He re-
ceived $250000 from the Standard
Oil IN 1929, he revealed.
He employs from 5000 to 1000
men and operates TOO trucks.
He .erved the James Butler Co.,
the H. G. Bohack Co. and Ameri-
can Co., and the Great Atlantic
and Pacific Co., during strikes in
1929.
