WASHINGTON — The MtoCSeflmn
Otxnunittee on which I serve heard
testimony of corruption under the
guise of tminni-n last week. We
investigated the payments of ex
tortion money tom several busi
ness firms to secure so-called “la
bor peace” to the New York Ctty
area.
EXTORTION RACKET
1 was sorry to learn that some
of the leading newspapers bed sub
mitted to the payment of extortion
as revealed by the testimony of
their officials before our com
mittee. In order to get their pa
pers delivered they had .made
these payments indirectly to the
worst element of hoodlums and
gangsters who had muscled into
the unions to order to practice this
lucrative extortion racket. To the
credit of the newspapers that were
involved in this practice it must be
said that they told the committee
as a result of our hearings on the
matter that this sort of avaricious
racket would not be tolerated now.
It is indeed a sad time to our coun
try when this crooked practice
reaches into the newspapers whose
officials apparently felt that it was
necessary to try to buy protection '
from gangsters. As one newspaper j
official testified, it is the type of!
practice that Us publication would
be quick to condemn editorially, j
This, is further evidence that
congress must pass anti-racketeer-'
tog legislation this session such as !
is included in the Kennedy^Ervin
