PRESENT DRIVE
|PAVES THE Way
First Attempt Made
Under The Bowles
Administration
BY Russ ]. Ccwans

Complete control Of the mum
bers" racket By white mobsters
was foreseen this week by some
operators as the probale result OF
the current pressure on the "busi-
ness" during the past two weeks
Many believe that the control
that was once resident IN Paradise
valley will have vanished into thin
air when the present crop OF
operators has b. en- liquidatsd.
In their stead these observers
see the numbers racket control
led by whites, similar TO the con-
dition prevalent in Cleveland, and
New York. with sluggings and MUIR
dsrs rampant.
Wanted To Muscle In
The first efforts OF white mob
sters to gain control OF the racket
occurred under the administration
OF Mayor Charles Bowlee. The boys
moved UP on ST. Antoine street.
established themselves, and then
demanded that the colored opera
tors "cut them in on the business"
The initial place 70 open was at
1918 ST. Antoine street. But the
operator disappeared when num-
Der which had been heavily backed
came out with better than fourteen
thousand riding on It. He moved
beyond Woodward avenue. Others
did likewise when the boys ignored
their demands.
In later years other attempts
were made by white operators TO
get IN 90 the lucrative business"
but to no avail until the past three
or four years.
The entry OF the white operators
into the business was vociterous-
~ announced with the opening OF
a price war and numerous physical
encounters between the writer's
and pickup" meo OF the various
houses
Many sources have expressed the
opinion that the current harrase-
ing OF the operators presages the
doom OF the colored operators and
the realignment OF the business"
with white mobsters in the saddle.
Police Deny Charge
Police, however, deny this. They
contend that they are out to purge
the city OF the racket. irregsrdless
OF the color OF the operators.

In Brewster Housing Project

Because there may be some mis-

This letter Is the first step in that
direction.
