Former Rum
Runners Now
In Racket
Black Markefeers Run
Meat From Canada

Will Wyandotte once again be-
come the landing place for snug
glers? Mayor Arthur j. Reaume, of
Windsor, fears that organized
smuggling of meat and poultry will
rival the palmiest days of Rum
Row.
Canada clamped an embargo
Wednesday on meats and poultry
purchased by Americans. The new
embargo, effective midnight to-
night, came at the same time 1t was
revealed that the racketeers who
once slipped across the Detroit river
with liquor now are engaged in
black market meat operations.
During prohibition days Wyan-
dotte and Ecorse were Ravens for
scores of smugglers. Many of them
have since been killed in under
world gun battles.
Speedboats are being used in
meat running, according to under
world characters who have been at
tracted to Windsor by the "easy''
money to be made in the rackets
which have sprung up in connec-
ton with rationing.
One government official here pre-
dicted: THE meat situation is go
ing to make the crooked gasoline
operations look like penny ANTE"
Many of the old racketeers who
operated in Wyandotte and Ecorse
are believed to be turning their at
tention to the lucrative field Of
running meat from Canada to these
shores.

Rouse reported, I'VE find that the

per cent built; that its development
is not uniform but Of q scattered
nature, and that there now exists
a very definite shortage of good

The area under contemplated an
nexation Is already partially devel-
oped with good class of residen-
tial structures and new six-room
school is located near the center
Of the area.
Services of q complete city could
be offered to the area by Wyan-
