CHICAGO’S CLEAN-UP
APPEAL TO GENERAL DAWES.
[BT CABLE —I’BESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]
NEW YORK, Juno 14.
A Chicago report says it is understood that the Association of Commerce, representing 200,000 prominent citizens, will address an appeal to General Dawes, who arrived from London yesterday, to assume the leadership of a drive to clean up vicious conditions in what has been termed “Chicago’s direct hour of need.”
General Dawes is looked upon as an ideal “man of iron” to captain the forces ,of society and wipe out the city’s underworld menace, so a hope is held of his acceptance of the post, in view of the fact that he is directing work for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair.
A meeting will be held on Monday of directive heads of various civil and private bodies for mapping a campaign against gang lawlessness, and it is believed an invitation to General Dawes may then be issued.
