BISHOP GREGG CONDEMNS
POLICY RACKET

Bishop John A. Gregg, Fifth Epis-
copal District, has come out in a de-
termined stand against the policy rack
et
Stating that policy is an evil that
must be stamped out, and that no
language was too strong for express
ing his disapproval of the racket Dur
ing the conference a resolution was
passed condemning the racket in any
community.
At the same time, George Yelling
ton Lambert, executive director of the
Property Owners Improvement as
sociation of Chicago, was equally vehe-
ment in his denuciation of the racket
Stating in the course of his remarks,
that it is robbing the very class of peo-
pie who must depend on public funds
for their support. He claimed that
$4,000 year was being paid for pro-
lection in Chicago.
While on much smaller scale, the
policy situation in Minneapolis is much
the same as that in Chicago except for
the fact that there is no evidence of
pay being made for protection.
Locally policy has reached into all
classes, and is fast becoming popular
with loop workers of all races, collec-
tons being made in several loop office
buildings.
In the meantime no owner of a
wheel in the city has been molested.
