He loses out,

we buy the next one.

You don't know

Tony Cermak, Frank.

Charles "The Fixer"Fischetti-

born Castellamare, Italy,

August 11, 1891.

A second cousin to Al Capone...

Fischetti acts as chairman

at executive meetings.

He his a heavy drinker

but never drunk.

His principle value

to the organization...

is his ability

to suborn political leaders...

and public officials

on both state and city levels.

He will be murdered

on April 7, 1951.

...and that's where

we can get hurt.

He ever tries chiseling

on the Big Fellow's rackets...

he'll think a suitcase fell on him.

Ah, come on, Frank.

You know-

Hello, Al.

Meeting will come to order.

Jake.

Jake, we got you down here

for a report on the stockyards district.

How's everything going down there?

I'll read you the figures

and let you tell me, okay?

We took over that territory from Joe

Saltas at the end of last October...

and right away things got better.

For example...

beer sales for the 30-day period

ending December 15...

are up 21.4-

Jake "Greasy Thumb"Guzik-

born Peoria, Illinois,

November 9, 1894.

A one-time proprietor of a string

of suburban houses of prostitution...

Guzik is now in charge of all

bootlegging, sales and distribution...

for the Capone syndicate.

He will die of natural causes

on July 11, 1956.

Huh. I've been telling you guys for months

that when it comes to selling beer...

that big Polack don't know

his hat from third base.

For Christ's sake! All I get

outta you guys is talk!

The rest of the time,

you're strutting around...

with dollar cigars in your kissers

like a bunch of bankers!

Oh, big shots.

What-What's wrong, Al?

What's wrong?

You guys just get off

the boat or something?

Huh?

Am I the only guy around here

knows what's going on in this town?

Now let me give you some real facts...

not the kind of love

and kisses we've been getting...

from our good palJake here.

Nobody has to tell me

we're making money...

out in the stockyards or anyplace else...

on the South Side or the West Side.

But what about the North Side, Jake?

I don't hear no nice fat figures on that!

Or maybe you figure that end of town

ain't worth holding on to.

We talked about this, Al.

Yeah, we talked about it.

You talked about it!

"We don't want no trouble, Al."

"Forget about it, Al."

"Bugs Moran's just showing off, Al."

That's what I think

of your figures, Jake!

Now you're gonna get

some of my figures!

Since Labor Day, Bugs Moran's-

Bugs!

Pushed our beer out of 28-

28 joints south

of Chicago Avenue alone.

That don't sound like much, does it?

Twenty-eight joints.

What's 28 joints out of 12,000?

Peanuts, right?
