Gangsters and Business
Merge in City of Detroit
An alarming aspect in the pat
tern of crime in America is that
certain manufacturers have delib
erately allied themselves with
racketeers as a means of controll
ing labor relationships.
In Detroit, the Senate Crime
Committee turned up four in
stances in which large industrial
e( j concerns awarded lucrative con-
tracts to gangsters or men who had
underworld connections.
Typical was the link between
Santo (Sam) Perrone and the De
troit-Michigan Stove Co. The be
spectacled, balding Perrone once
. served a six-year sentence for vio
lating the prohibition laws, and
both he and his brother. Gasper,
had been arrested for questioning
on murder charges, though later
released. Ironically, Santo had a
license to carry a revolver at the
time we questioned him. It was
promptly revoked by Detroit a

Perrone barely can real and
write English. He went to work
more than 40 years ago as a core
maker for the stove works, per
haps the largest non-union plant in
the area. Perrone insisted he nev

er even had discussed labor prob
lems with John A. Fry, company
president, and Mr. Fry testified
he never had heard of any labor
■difficulty or any physical vio
lence at the plant.
Around 1934, however, there
was a serious strike when a union
made a strenuous effort to organ
ize the stove works. Twelve years
later, Fry told a grand jury inves
tigating labor rackets that during
the dispute “I talked with some of
the fellows in the plant, including
the Perrones, and I wanted to
know whether or not we could get
some help to come in, and they
said they thought they could.
“There was some fights outside
the gate on the part of the pick
ets attacking the men when they
