VERBLIN Jack a was an importa itical figure in Chicagc he held any « n the Ic of political prom less he played an important pe role by virtue of the fact tt was the chief of one of the gangs of the city. To be chief of a z of gang sters is no mean position. One en controls a certain portion of ° city and has charge of all of vice resorts, booze running, gamb- ling joints and other similar bour- geois institutions in that territory To the uninitiated let it be explained that the gangsters of Chicago have taken lessons from the imperiali: bandits and robbers. The impe ist bandits have divided the whole world into various “spheres of in-| fluence” and the small-fry bandits | like Zuta and Capone have only; cities to portion out between them-| selves. st| Like the imperialist robbers, the gangsters must have protection and| they depend largely upon the im-| portant political figures and offi- | cials of the city. Naturally they} must pay for that protection and are thus compelled to devide the} booty, derived from vice and booze, with judges, police officers and politicians in general. This then explains the political importance of Zuta, who had hun- dreds of thousands of dollars to divide with the city officials And as is the case with the im- perialist robbers, competiti be-| tween the gangs and ithe struggle to maintain and extend their spheres of influence leads to bloody encoun- ters. In one of these encounters Zuta went to v- my hunting grounds. Zuta and Lingle. This was not the first time of} course when a gangster was} knocked off. In former cases, how-| ever, nothing very startling devel-| oped. An imposing funeral and all was quiet and the pillage and rob-} bery -ontinued. But Zuta’s death| followed the killing of Jake Lingle, reporter for that holy crusader, the| Chicago Tribune. Jake Lingle was} the official underworld collector for} the former chief of police, Russell | and chief of detectives, Stege. Both Russell and Stege were known as Tribune men.

ILD Picnic to Rally Masses For Release of Class Prisoners The solidarity picnic arranged by the New York District Office of the International Labor Defense at Pleasant Bay Park on Sunday, Sept. 7th, will, at the same time, be a mass rally of the New York work- ers for the immediate unconditional freedom of William Z. Foster, Com- munist candidate for governor of New York State and Minor, Amter and Raymond, leaders of the Unem- ployed Delegation now in prison, according to Charles Nemeroff, I. L. D. district organizer. That the picnic will be the out- standing affair of the summer is| indicated by the splendid program arranged. This will include the showing of the new Mopr film, games arranged by the Labor Sports Union, Greek dances, and refreshments of specially prepared German, Hungarian and Armenian dishes. The Freiheit Gesangs Verein is mobilizing its members for a program of songs. Comrade J.

A Statement HE IRVING PLAZA management emphatically denies that they in any way, co-operated with any group or police power to beset the workers of the Com- munist Party on August 1, 1930. | | | | The management denies any knowledge or respous- ibility for the massing of the police in our hall and em- phatically denounces the attack on the workers by the police from the hall premises on August 1. During the past four years the Communist Party has availed itself of the halls in the Irving Plaza. Their meetings, conferences and conventions, have always functioned, UNDISTURBED, from any OUTSIDE IN- FLUENCES WHATSOEVER. We feel that this record is self-explanatory. We do not wish to be enmeshed in any inter-political controversies We do not intend creating the enmity of any group or groups in the operation of our enter- prise, and we hope for a continued patronage of the workers of the Communist Party.
