STREET FIGHTING
WAR ON THE CHICAGO
UNDERWORLD
(Received 15th February, 2 p.m.)
CHICAGO, 14th February.
Citizens of Chicago fought shoulder to shoulder with the unpaid police today against the outlaws of the boulevards and back alleys. Two bandits were killed and two wounded at the end of the fifth day in the city's campaign against organised crime. In addition, 3000 suspects have been rounded up, 572 men being arrested in the last 24 hours on suspicion of having a connection with the underworld. Seven of these were found with concealed weapons. A small payment of 1,849,000 dollars was made to-day to 18,000 city employees, wages for the first fortnight in January.
