union officials in Miami not too
long ago and were involved IN a
second degree murder case. Out
in Las Vegas, an official of a
Sheet Metal Workers Union was
killed when he bucked the mobs.
A hundred communities could
show similar cases of violence. In
st. Louis, there have been So UNI
solved union shootings and muir
ders. Denizens of big cities have
no monopoly on violence. A Gran
tie City, H., Hold Carriers Union
official, Jack Green, was indicted
for frightening off a businessman
who had contracted to maintain
and repair Chain CLOCKS Levee
near that community.
Coon squad tactics by the UNI
ion forced the company to sus-
pend work and when the Govern
ment tried to have operations re-
sumed a mob" of 700 to 1000
persons prevented any further
work.
'Extortion andthreats of vio-
lence" forced the firm away from
the project and it was never able
to complete the job, according to
the District Attorney John B.
Stoddard
There is no corner of the coun-
try which isn't cobWebbed with
crawling creatures out of the
crime cartel inside labor. You can
trace it from midtown Manhat-
tan. From there trucks race with
loads of unfinished garments out
to dress shops around Scranton,
Pa, and nearby coal towns where
labor now is cheap.
Il Some of these shops are owned
by the toughest of the old Muir
der, Inc mob. In some of these
small cities, the mob even set up
its own private union in compe-
-tition with the king-sized Inter

ers' Union.

Mobs Gambling Set-Up
Mulcts Workers

Along the route, in New Jersey
are big factories where the gam
bling mob operates its big bookie
ventures taking hundreds of
thousands of dollars a day from
working men in auto plants. So
big racket is this that Walter
Reuther's Auto Workers Union
warned that it would not fight for
the jobs Of any one fired for being
part Of the bookie ring.
The same mobs are interlocked
across country-rolling on from
dresses to luke boxes to loan
sharks. And the more industry de
centralizeS, the faster do the mobs
spread.
How much does the mob, oper-
atlng under cover of some unions,
suck from the average family? If
the family's income is 500 a
week, the terror tax is 81. This is
what the top anti-crime experts
figure. The money extorted from
dress manufacturers, truckers,
food merchants and home build
ers, IS made up by lacking up the
prices you pay.
