|Dio S Career Tells Story
OF Shokedown Racket

NEW YORK, Aug. 80 ND.-
The story of racketeering in New
York's garment and trucking in
dustries is a complex web OF
violence, death and fear.
Its shadowy presence flared
into focus yesterday in the ar
rest of Johnny Dio accused as
the master hoodlum who en-
gineered the acid binding OF
labor columnist Victor Riesel.
Dio is personification of the
lstrong-arm "shakedown" world,
Around his suave, darkly hand
some figure. you can trace the
lurking power of the rackets,
His career tells the story.
AS recorded in indictments,
police reports and accusations by
prosecutors, it's a sequence of
broken heads. of spilling acid
on clothes, of cars dumped in
the East River or set on fire.
1t includes setting up paper
labor outfits, and then collect
ing $1,000 a month from gar
ment firms to keep legitimate
unions out of their shops; $780,
900 payoffS to help business con-
Germs get rid Of their unions and
l$500-a-month protection" col
lections from terrorized truck
men in the mid-Manhattan gar
ment district.
In the midst of this ugly mael-
strom. for years, has been the
hand of Johnny Dio.
Called Powerful
District Attorney Frank Hogan
says: He is one of the most
powerful underworld figures in
the ranks of labor"
Johnny Dio was born AZ years
ago on the lower East Side as
John Dioguardi.
He graduated into a full
fledged hoodlum under the tute-
lage of Louis Oepke) Buchalter
and Jacob (Gurrah) Shapiro, the
Murder, Inc" overlordS of the
garment district.
Dio first emerged as the heir
of their domain in the late 193OS
when former Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, then a rackets-busting
special prosecutor, put him and
his uncle, Jimmy Doyle, on trial
for extortion.
The two dominated what was
called the Five Borough Truck
mems Association, shaking truck
men $500 a month to operate
and the Garment Center Truck
Owners Association, which levied
a tariff on every coat and suit
manufactured here.
There was testimony of
threats. beatings by hatchets and
acid poured over clothing and
into the motors of trucks.
At the end of prosecution tes-
timony, Doyle and Dio pleaded
guilty. and went to Sing Sing
for three to five years. Gov
Dewey called Dio "the protected
child of crime"
He came out of prison, q
dapper, hardened man.
He managed to obtain charters
for setting up AFL United Auto
Workers Union localS-a rival Of
Walter Reuther's CIO union of
the same name. Experts called
Dio's outfits paper locals"
They were catch-alls, trying to
take over taxi drivers or most
any other labor group. He
failed to take over the cabbies,
