Racketeers, gunmen and other experts, driven out of Chicago by police energy, are alleged to be gathering in the bigger, richer city. Robberies of various kinds, from banks to delicatessen stores; a bomb explosion in the Fifth avenue district, business and trade union rackets of all kinds testify to the energy with which the alleged Chicago invaders do their work.
Police say their difficulties are increased by the unwillingness of citizens to tell what they know. Business men submit to racketeering to avoid bombing.
A New Yorker robbed of $4,000 refused to identify the men that held him up when they stood before him. "I never saw them," said he. He did not want them, or their friends, to shoot him later.
