Gangsters Got Rich In Labor Union Field
Dallas, April 22. Attorney General Brownell charged that gangsters grew wealthy in the labor union field under the prior Democratic administration due to lax anti racketeering enforcement. He noted FBI investigations since 1953 total about 1,400 with new cases at ~50 monthly, linking extortion and exploitation of union rank and file to public and legitimate business interests being sacrificed.

Department cites anti racketeering and Taft Hartley Act records
The department notes that no criminal cases charging anti racketeering under the 1934 statute or section 186 of the 1347 Taft Hartley Act were filed in several years through 1952. It contrasts this with only three anti racketeering indictments in the eight years before 1953 and two indictments under section 186 in the same period, asserting a rise since January 1953.

Police Court Cases Heard
Magistrate H Reese Shoemaker presided Friday sentencing Robert 5 Moore to six months in jail for assault and battery after a razor-wound incident at his aunt’s second floor apartment. Witness Daniel Weedon testified Moore pulled a razor during an attempted break-in while intoxicated. Moore claimed it was accidental and that he intended to give his landlady a drink. The court also dealt with Osborn’s drunken driving record, revocation of license and penalties, including a 90 day jail term in default of fines, and noted a dubious driving history. Heffner and Wiles faced separate cases with fines and support-order disputes, while Grim was fined for speeding.
