CLEARING UP CHICAGO
—■ THE UNDERWORLD MENACE. CAMPAIGN TO BE MAPPED OUT. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, June 14. (Received June 15, at 5.5 p.m.) A report from Chicago 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 the drive to clean up the vicious conditions in what has been termed “ Chicago’s direst hour of need.” General Dawes is looked upon as the ideal “ man of iron ” to captain the forces of society and wipe out the city’s underworld menace. Some hope is held of his acceptance of the post in view of the fact that he is directing the work for the 1933 Chicago .world’s fair. A meeting will be held on Monday of the directive heads of various civic and private bodies for mapping out a campaign against gang lawlessness, and it is believed that the invitation to General Dawes may then be issued.
