an ae Chicago, T11,, Hov,80th, 1936, Edgar Hoover, . Chief of G.Men. Dear Mr. Hoover: : We have repeatedly wrote you in regards to the all powerful Capone Gang of which the newspapers ané our esteemed States attorney, Thomas P, Courhney, seem to want the public in general to think that this gang is just a skeleton of its former self. For yeur information beg to Btate that thie gang is bigger, mere powerful than at any time - in ite history. As we stated previous this erganization is ruled with « iron hand by Frank Nitti, seconded by Jouis fon- pagna alias Little New. York, and Frnk Rossi, There main Btock in trade nov is taking charge of all unions eperating in Chicago and wee be to any union official thet would gst out of lins. Well you read the papers and you know what happened to Maloy, Alterie and Galvin net to mention of the ethers that have dis- appeared and probably were buried in lime, They have as their figurehead George Browne who is international President of the Stage Handa and the Motion Picture Operators, Mike Carrezre,' national President of the street sweepers, and to make a long story short they are exacting tribute from every union in Chicas and makeing them like it. They are not satisfied at they cor trol all gambling, brewries, the sale of whiskies, but new they ere forcing into retirement operaters of @yeing and cleaning eateablishment, laundtées,and many ether legitimate busémesses, You say thie is a local affair, well how can you ge and report these things knowi: that the next day when you are leaving your home you will be mst by a yoliey of gunshot, It is a terrible state of effeirs that exist in this city ani from the States stt erney down to the mayer they even have to have a few squads to protect them. If it is so safe here, why do they each have fror fifteen to twenty policemen detailed te protect their families « themselves. It is about time thet the gevernment took e hand and done something te wipe this gang eut, the more time they are given the bigger ani more pewerful they get. You can't raise yc voice above a whisper unless you want to die. They run and opa: like any big gang, have their murderers, business men, line men, They have effices in the Sherman Hetel, The Congress Hotel, I 24 end directly across from the City Hall, on clark Street, in Make Carrossze Office, They are directly responsible for at least a ‘thousand murders committed in Chicago, in the last five years, Why don't you reelly do something for manking and wipe this gan of rata out. You would be deing the country at large a big fav and clean the name of this city from the way they have disgrace it. 3 ; % tte rn eee ern aie [recor ses ee ey cement Oe \Sars% ces _ARRASIW-5S
