CHICAGO’S CLEAN-UP
BATTLE IN STREETS I WHOLESALE ARRESTS (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received February' 15, 11 a.m.) NEW YORK, February 14. A message from Chicago states that citizens drawn up in battle order fought shoulder to shoulder with unpaid police 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, more than three thousand suspects had been rounded up, 572 men being arrested in the last few hours on suspicion in 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 eighteen thousand city' employees, being their wages for the first fortnight in January.
