City and Federal rewards for informa-
jtion leading to the capture, dead or alive,
'01 Louis Lepke! Buchalter now come to
.a total of $30,000-since the Board of Esti-
mate raised the citys offer to $25,000.
g That is a lot of money for government
to give away for the capture of a racketeer
-enough to pay a years home relief for
twenty-tour families or to support 6,000
refugee children abroad or to build ten
small suburban homes.
The $30,000 is being offered in an
attempt to persuade some one of the many
persons who must know Lepkes where-
abouts to tell the police despite the fear
of gangster reprisals. The reward is
loffered to make it seem worth the chance.
In this case the reward should produce
results. Any one who gives a clue to
Lepl-:es hideout can be sure of full pro-
tection trom United States Attorney
Cahill or District Attorney Dewey. They
will- keep the name of the informant
secret. -
The very fact that fear of reprisals
from the Lepke mob e:_<ists_ justies the
oering of so large a reward. The Lepke
"mob, by committing a series of murders
of potential witnesses against its chief, p t
the racketeers weapon of terrorism to t :8
te against the weapons of civilized go '-
18 pment. The government has a right 'o
u h its arsenal. . .sao,0'0 for Lepke | ~

In the ght against themnand

ganizing the dressing and dyeing
industry, gaining improved con-
ditions for the 9292'orl<ers.
When the trial came in 1938,
the fear instilled by the racketeers
created a cynical attitude. E.'ery-
one was saying that the two
would go seat lree. that no one
would dare to identify them.
IOT.~92SlI PUTS GURRAIK ON
SPOT
But Potash put the finger on
Gurrah, revealing his connections
with the buses racketeering as-
sociation. So did Sam Burt, man-
ger of the Joint Board of Fur
Jressers and Dyers.
It was Potashis testiinefiy,
substantiated by Burt. which ::nt
Gurrah to jail. Both Lepke :92Dd
Gurrah were conviczed. But 'the
trial was only on federal offenzes.

period. hnd to be dealt 9292-itii lo-
eally.
Meanixhile. both were free on
bail, pending appeals, in sharp
contrast to the stubborn opposi-
tion of Dewey's office to.p.oce bail
or Schneider, convicted of a
inor offense on triimpcd-up
hztrges.
The two industrial racketecrs
slipped through the fingers of the
police but they rlicInt slipped
throus_',h the fingers of the fur
vsorlzers. Lepkes COll92iCIlO"f was
reversed. he dj.~nppe.1red as_Dewey
wits lool-:1ng for him, ,'
It was ex-federal Judge Man-
ton. recently found guilty of tak-
ing bribes, who perniitted them to
escape by giving these notorious
gangsters ridiculously low bail
pending appeal.
Gurrah finally gave himself up
but Leplze is still at large, and is
said to be contlucting his racket-
eering empire under the nose of
prosecuting aut.horit.ies. But,
thanks to the union r"92t in the
fur industry
