FBI Breaks Up Transport Ring in Miami Arrests
Director J Edgar Hoover announced the arrest of 31 people in Miami and Miami Beach as the first step in a nationwide probe into a racketeering scheme selling railroad reservations at inflated prices. Among those arrested were 16 railroad employees, 14 hotel workers, and one taxi driver. The group reportedly profited 15 000 to 20 000 dollars monthly, with plans to buy a hotel using gains. The scheme violated the criminal code by selling services at rates above those charged to others. Hoover said arrests would extend nationally and into Florida, highlighting service men forced to pay 16 to 100 dollars in excess fees while wealthy tourists paid less. The FBI had been investigating Miami and Miami Beach for three weeks, with Hoover personally joining the effort ten days prior.
