Fantan in Spokane Chinatown Gambling Houses
Spokane police report no effect from a wartime gambling law as Fantan thrives in Chinatown. Boss Tai Ger presides over Lotus building operations while entrances require strings of security and hidden rooms. Bets rise to hundreds of dollars with three to one payouts and operators rake off up to seven percent. White men barred, police avoided, and dramatic concealment methods persist amid a citywide crackdown. Also notes a separate Scripps-NRAE report: Chicago Shipbuilding workers threaten a strike demanding wage gains, risking large layoff waves across related trades.
