history of the organization, how it
had grown from few operators of
amusement games to one of the larg
est organizations of its kind in the
country.
Mr. Mann pointed out that organi
zation among Chicago operators had
previously been unsuccessful due to
the fact that outsiders who had no
operating experience or knowledge,
had previously been active in the or
ganization and had even held office
in the Association.
“We have an ambitious programme,”
Mr. Mann pointed out. “We need a
programme of education which will
win respect for our business and give
us the same standing in the city as
any other industry. We also have a
big task ahead to sell the public offi
cials on the true facts concerning
our games and to show them that
we are not using racket methods of
any kind and will never use them in
operating our machines in Chicago.”
One purpose for calling the meet
ing was to discus the recent efforts
of business men, outside of the oper
ating field, who had been demanding
control of the operating business and
a share of the returns. This was held
by Attorney Lawrence, who has repre
sented the organization in many cases,
as an attempt at racket control.
