CRIME IN CHICAGO.
A “CLEAN UP” CAMPAIGN
APPEAL TO MR. C. G. DAWES. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright. CHICAGO, June 14. It is understood that the Association of Commerce, which represents 200,000 prominent citizens, will address an appeal to Mr. C. G. . Dawes, former Ambassador in London, who arrived from London yesterday, to assume the leadership of an attempt to clean up the vicious conditions in what has been termed “Chicago’s direst hour’ of need.” Mr Dawes is looked upon as the ideal man to captain the forces of society, and destroy the city underworld menace.
Some hope is held of his acceptance of the post, in view of the fact that he will direct the work in 1933 of the Chicago World’s Fair. A meeting will be held on Monday of the directing heads of the various civic and private bodies, for mapping out the campaign against gang lawlessness, and it is believed that an invitation to Mr Dawes may then be issued.
