unique than in the existence of

towns"-within and fringing the
city.
In these islands the owners of
American industry can rule with
out interference - save in such
times of great national upsurge
as during the early organization
of the cIO.
Three of these industrial is
lands lie within the city limits
of Chicago, two border on the
city, and the sixth is in Melrose
Park. All of them lie outside the
political control of the working
mans vote.
INDEED. only the parent area
of these districts, the Clearing
Industrial Area southwest of the
city airport, has even one resi-
dent. Even he is only tolerated
squatter.
The CHA. grew out of the
huge criss-cross of railyards lying
west of Chicago Ave. and south
of 63rd st. This is the home site
of the corporate owner of all six
industrial areas. 1t was brought
into being early in the century by
H. H. Porter, then president of
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
R.R. and A. B. Stickney, head of
the Chicago & Great Western.
This parent island of the Chi
cago industrial districts has
waxed fat today with lot cor
porate tenants and more are
streaming in. About half of the
10000 workers in the Clearing
are unionized, a heritage of the
organizing drive of the 'thirties.
But they are cut off from union
contact. Buses or their own cars
bring them into the Clearing, and
take them out again - buses
franchised by the city of Chicago.

mitted to enter these precincts.
Given the conditions which can
be predicted froms early opera
ton of the Taft-Hartley Act, what
unions there are within Clearing
could easily be smashed when the

This in addition, to cooperation
from the city and township
police as needed.
Corporate control reaches be-
yond Clearing to dictate who
shall walk upon the bordering
streets of the area, and what they
shall do. This was demonstrated
during organizing efforts by the
United Electrical Workers (CIO)
before the war. UE organizers
sought to reach Jensen Radio
workers by distributing leaflets
at the Clearing gate at 65th and
Laramie.
The Bedford Park police, who
also function as night watchmen
for the Clearing corporations, al
though paid by the township,
found themselves unable to deal
with the situation.
IN the first place, there was
the little matter of who owned
65th st.-the people of Chicago,
or the corporations in the area
west of it, beyond the city limits?
Finally they solved the dilemma
by calling in Police Capt. George
c. Barnes and his labor detail
to rid corporations lying outside
Chicago's city limits of this men

was not only willing but eager to
be of such service to the nom
resident corporations.
There are also tax attractions
for these corporate tenants of
Clearing lying outside the city
limits, in addition to the barriers
they present to union organiza-
ton. Corporations in the city of
Chicago, for instance, pay a tax
rate of about 16 cents per square
foot of land occupied.
THIS goes to pay for the city's
schools, street maintenance, DO
lice and fire protection. But in
the Clearing area and the two
other areas owned by it outside
the city, the tax rate is only 2.5
to 3.5 cents per square foot
even when they border on city
streets which they use.
Clearing officials justify their
exemption from support of the
city's school system by the fact
that there are no residences in
the industrial islands. But even
so, they deprive the children of
those working in Clearing of the
school facilities to which they

to favor industries and businesses

rates increased. except that the
tax on natural gas was changed
from . " percent sales tar to
SIX percent severance tax, bring
Ing the levy into line with that
which is collected on crude oil in
the state. This change met no CD
position from the gas industry.
In some cases taxes were lowered
and additional industries were
exempt from the payment of Ger.
tain taxes.
The success OF Mississippis
drive to lure new industry into
the state is demonstrated BY the
increasing number Of plants being
located within the state bounda-
ries. Under the BAWI plan, 90
new plants either are or will be
In operation within six months.
These new industries. which have
moved to Mississippi during the
past year are expected to employ
1900 people with a total yearly
payroll of approximately $4,000
600. In addition, over 100 other
industries have been brought into
the state through other channels.
The Legislature provided for
expansion and furtherance of this
successful program with an appro-

A series OF bills, making sweep

consisting of fifteen different
bills. was the outgrowth Of Q re-

The legislators reworked all por-
