Union Racket
Case Of Slain 0onoster
and Fay Indictment
BY WESTBROOK PEGLER
DOSSIBLY some ono VIII say
thar exaggerated or drew
ON my imagination m writing of
The dangerous alliance between
tho present national government
uf The United States and the
criminal underworld of the
union rdckotS
can prove up
Let us take The case of Jo-
Scph NcWcll known a. Buck
Newell Of ST LOUIS. a GanCSter
who was killed IN a cheap fam
lily shooting on June >.
Newell was the boss Of Local
Sis of the Operating Engineers,
a 81. Louis racket and a sub
SldIary of the national racket
whose president IS William L.
Maloncy de>e-doSe-and-dem
gorilla with home and head
quarters in Chicago, and an
admired friend Of William
Green.
Naloncy is a dominant figure
i'm tho unSpcakablN corrupt AL
organization IA Chicago.
4 FrER Buck Ncwcll's death
n II was disclosed that he
had been indicted on three
counts by the local grand Jury
at Cape Girardcau, Mo, where
recently. work was stopped for
five days on the newell pipe
line that MIR. lCkes is building
with public funds. meaning your
taxes and mine, 10 relieve the
sffoftafe-of Of ftfef oif and gasoline
on the eastern Seaboard
This, incidentally, is not the
first time a union racket has
tied up work on this vital pipe
line There was q similar stop
page last spring, oCCaSioned by
no disputes between employer
and cmployc, but only by the
determination Of n Z k TT
licensed by President Roose-
VotrS government to collect
dues from countryside workers
who were earning a few dollars
on public project.
ONE OF the indictments against
~ 'SCwCft-W6 can throw OUT
as being Of no interest 10 us.
II charged him with carrying
on with a girl friend be teek ia
the road TO beat up a few
working StlffS
But the other -tWn -indlct-
mCntS charged him, first with
smashing up tho dining room Of
a hotel IN Cape Girardcau and
throwing CrOCkcry all over tho
place IN aSSaultinC a couple of
pipe line workers with intent 10
extend 10 them the benefits Of
tho New Deals benevolent Ia
Dor policy, and second, with
starting a riot in the railroad
yards at limo, Mo, with the
same intent
In each case he had mob Of
81 LOUIS underworld buns with
him Work on the pipe line
stopped for five days
This was the third war prof.
Get that this protege of the
New Deal party had tied up
within two years under the Ii
cense and privilege extended 70
ham by the national government.
THE only trouble the federal
department Of Justice ever
gave HIM was a $500 fine hack
IN 1897 for conspiracy to defraud
the government
Brother Newell never was a
workman and he always was a
bum a rum-pot, Saloonkeeper,
gambler muscle man and thief.
Nevertheless, or perhaps we
should say for this reason,
Brother Malonoy Of the Chicago
chapter OF the Party Of HUI
mainly, let HIM have his head
IN Missouri and. for your fur
Their information, the mob had
the gall 10 picket tho governor
OF Missouri. Forrest &. Donnell,
al jefferson City. because Don
Ucll sent a detachment of the
state guard to protcctthe work
crS and expedite the job
