 End to MillmAn ct Last
 After that Harry Millman began to grow in stature. A small. timer, formerly he gained notoriety from his fistic ability. In 10 years he was arrested 90 times, but was sentenced only twice-both times on trafac charges.
 Ills number went up in August A bomb was planted in his car Millman escaped, though Q negro doorman who went to get the car for him was killed. After that Millman avoided public places and spent most of his time In c neigh. borhood tavern.
 Early Thanksgiving morning he was there, chatting idly with friends Two strangers walked in, ordered drinks. A moment later they walked toward Millman, flashed 6 pair ot .45 revolvers and began shooting, The Purple gangster's body was pierced by nine bullets. Four other men were wounded.
 Thus ended the Purple gang.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-12-17

They stole fruit, "rolled drunks, ' waylaid pedestrians late at night and broke into stores.
 They're tainted" Q bearded, old Jewish fruit peddler once said, Those boys are discol0red. They are purple" The name stuck.
 Ten years later in 1929 the group, then known throughout the middle west as the Purple gang, had Q death-grip on Detroit's under world, and maintained lucrative crime connections ell over the country.
 Last month police picked of a tavern floor the hullet-ridden body of the last known member still operating. Harry Milligan, 28, had big fists, Q ready trigger-finger and Q thorough criminal education begun in 1919 when he trailed the big boys" in his neighborhood as they annoyed the merchants.
 Gang Once Numbered 50 Odd
 With his slaying, the last of the 30 odd hoodlums was accounted for. All were either dead, in prison or missing 50 long that they were forgotten.
 The gang took solid form in 1928 when gamblers supplied them with funds in return for protec- ton from Q St. Louis extortion ring.
 A year later they began their killings in earnest. Abe Axler and his pal, Eddie Fletcher, machine glinned three rivals to death in @ street before their apartment. Ak Ter and Fletcher were inseparable pals-even in death. Their bodies, hands joined, were found by poe lice in 1883 after Q battle for the mob's leadership.
 Late in 1928, when the gang was at its greatest period of power, two situations arose which greatly affected its strength and its future.
 First, 6 cleaners and dyers war broke out, marked by daily acts of violence. Murders, hombings, thefts, sluggings, all the crimes in the books combined to hurt their pres- tige. Thirteen "Purples" finally beat @ conspiracy charge in court.
 Sought More Territory
 Secondly, and more important, they branched out from Detroit.
 ,rhe Oakland Sugar company be- came their financial stronghold, From 1t, they supplied corn sugar to local moonshiners. With the money they opened speakeasies and night clubs. Then they began shipping liquor to Chicago and Now York. ct
 Law finally succeeded where rival gangs had failed. In 1883 the Little Navy gang from Chicago tried to muscle In" here. Its leaders rxy Sutker, "Nigger Joe" Lebkou witx and tiymie Paul-all were slain in an Apartment one septemhei night.
 But within two months three purples had been sentenced to life terms in the Marquette hranel, prison for the killings.
 In 1883 the gangs power was on the wane and the repeal of pro- hihition struck the death knell for it. Profits shrunk and the smart members drew away, some Into legitimate pursuits, others to re- tire on their riches.
 Most of them are dead now.

Central Labor Union
To Pick Delegates

Speaking of rent committees, a
report from its own group hand.
ling the questions of rentals and
low-cost housing was heard by the
Central Labor Union at it's meet,
ing Monday night in the Typo
graphical Temple.
Harry j. Thompson, head of the
group, heard unanimous approval
given to his recommendation that
the C. L. U. discard the idea of a
league" in Washington to fight
the landlords. It was voted to
continue the rent committee and
cooperation with other bodies of
similar nature.
One portion of the present con.
troversy within organized labor in
this vicinity was settled when the
c. L. U. voted to elect delegates
at their next meeting, April 10,
for the forthcoming Maryland
State-DiStrict of Columbia Fedora
ton of Labor convention at Ha-
gerstown, Md.
While one element sought to re.
tain the original meeting place of
Cumberland, another battled to
make a change to Hagerstown.
The C. L. U. Hagerstowners won
during another executive session
at which much business was
transacted.
