 The lack of justification and blunderbuss style of actions of NYC`s mayor
 detailed below should be judged against the precise , detailed indictment of
 Diawa Bank by Federal agencies to support their expulsion of Daiwa from
 the US a couple of weeks later . Gulliani is being taken to court by the

 Last night I witnessed the destruction of an efficient free market with
 6 active competitors , by a police enforced state monopoly - without due
 process - on the pretext of vague McCarthyite  allegations of ' mob
 connections ' .

 Don`t expect to find fish in your stores and menus at competive prices in
 New York anymore . Rather than proving the city-connected Laro can
 competitively do the job , RudyGiuliani just seized the business like Truman
 seizing the steel industry in 1952 which required the U.S. Supreme Court to
 declare unconstitutional . How can a New York citizen have any faith that
 this back room installation of cronies is more fair than the Clintons`
 firing of the WhiteHouse Travel staff to make room for their Arkansas pals ?

 To the surprize of no-one around here , this exercise in police enforced
 state take-over is disasterously inefficient .
 Looking out my window at noon on monday there were at least a dozen
 semi-trailers lined as far as I can see under the FDR who have just lost a
 days revenue because of the astoundingly ill-concieved and clumsily executed
 action . Tonight , things continue to move at a snail`s pace compared to the
 normal , and necessary , frenetic bustle .

 Review of Giuliani`s record reveals a fundamental distrust of the apparent
 chaos of capitalism . No wonder he supported Cuomo .
 He is proving himself a   Police State Liberal  .

UPne 10/16 0002  NYC fights fish market mob activity
   NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, claiming something was
fishy about businesses unloading seafood at the landmark Fulton Fish Market,
replaced them Sunday night and sent 200 riot police to make sure no trouble
ensued.
   Authorities say the Laro Miantenence Corp. replaces six unlicensed
businesses that had ties to organized crime and skimmed profits from the
city-owned market that does an estimated $1 billion in sales annually.
   The Genovese crime family is suspected of laundering money and extorting a
percentage of profits from dealers at the market in Lower Manhattan, according
to federal and state law enforcement officials.
   Saturday, the six unlicensed firms that had been in charge of unloading 150
million pounds of seafood at the market each year were expelled by the city.
   "The goal of all of this is to restore real competition to the market,"
said Mayor Rudolph Giuliani .
   Employees of the Laro company were required to undergo rigorous background
checks to ensure they did not have ties to the mob, according to city
officials.
   In the hours before Laro took over unloading operations at the market,
workers who lost their jobs were busy distributing fliers critcal of the
mayor. The leaflets said the new regulations will  "destroy" the Fulton Fish
Market, driving seafood companies across the Hudson River to New Jersey.
   "We estimate this will result in a 20 percent reduction in the cost of
doing business at the market," said Randy Mastro, a spokesman for the mayor.
   In recent months, the mayor has spearheaded a campaign to rid the Manhattan
fish markets of organized crime.
   A fire swept through the cobblestoned South Street facility in March after
the city announced an investigation into organized crime activity at the
seafood market. Investigators said the fire was intentionally set to destroy
business records contained in the building.
   "This is just one step -- but an important step in getting the Fulton Fish
Market free of the influence of organized crime," Giuliani said.
   While the mayor maintained the expulsion of the unloading companies marked
a blow against the mob, many laborers who had lost their jobs led vocal
protests near market Sunday night.
   "I don't know what the mayor is talking about. I put in 10-, sometimes
12-hour days, busting my neck down here," said former fish market worker,
Rocky Tavola. "If somebody was getting rich down here, it sure wasn't me."

UPne 10/15 2240  NYC fights fish market ``mob activity''
   NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- About 200 police officers in riot gear were
dispatched (Sunday night) to Manhattan's Fulton Fish Market to prevent any
"incidents" as a new seafood unloading company began operations. Authorities
say the Laro company replaces six unlicensed businesses that had ties to
organized crime and skimmed profits from the city-owned market that does an
estimated $1 billion in sales annually.

AP 18 Oct 95 17:13 EDT V0230           NYC Mayor Takes On Fish Market
   NEW YORK (AP) -- No Ipswich clams at the Oyster Bar? No sea bass at Fishin
Eddie's?
   Blame it on trouble at the Fulton Fish Market, which the mayor is trying
to wrest from the mob that has controlled it since Calvin Coolidge was in the
White House.
   Hundreds of police officers marched into the nation's largest fish market
this week as the city replaced six truck-unloading companies suspected of
ties to the Mafia.
   In reaction, market workers staged a brief wildcat strike Monday, backing
trucks up for blocks and forcing restaurants to scramble for new suppliers of
seafood.
   The approximately 40 old truck unloaders stand accused of extracting
payoffs to speedily unload about 500,000 pounds of highly perishable cargo
daily. The unloaders say they are guilty of no more than hauling 100-pound
boxes at 3 a.m. in freezing cold and sweltering heat.
   "I was born with a fishhook in my hand and fish juice in my mouth,"
boasted Gennaro Prisinzano, head of one unloading company.
   Hours before the strike, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani marched triumphantly
through the lower Manhattan market, evoking memories of Mayor Fiorello La
Guardia dumping illegal slot machines into the East River in the 1930s.
   The former mob-busting federal prosecutor was unapologetic after the
strike and threatened to shut the place down temporarily, if that's what it
takes.
   "It would be better for the city, actually, not to have the Fulton Fish
Market if it's going to be operated the way it's been," Giuliani said.
   The mob may feel the same way -- it's suspected of burning down a market
building in March, when a reform law was moving through the City Council.
   Fish was unloaded smoothly on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. But the
mayor, who has long bemoaned the cost of a "mob tax" on the market, conceded
that fish prices might even rise.
   Still, he said, "Ultimately, if we can straighten out the problems ...
consumers will pay less."
   The market occupies several blocks on the edge of the East River. Trucks
loaded with crates of fish from Maine to Florida line up each morning. Crews
use forklifts to move the fish to the stalls of about 60 wholesalers, where
retailers from around the metropolitan area come to examine the catch.
   Before dawn Wednesday the market was, by recent standards, quiet. A chilly
wind blew off the river and the air was filled with the smell of fish.
   Police stood watch as the old unloaders glowered from behind barricades at
the men hired to do their jobs. There were no incidents.
   But the police "can't stay here forever," said a husky, middle-aged man
who would not give his name. A few of his friends wore T-shirts showing
Giuliani with a Hitler moustache.
   The old unloaders say the new company, which has never handled seafood
before, isn't up to it. "Monday into Tuesday and Tuesday into Wednesday are
the slowest nights at the market," said Gerald McMahon, the unloaders'
lawyer. "The end of the week is another story."
   "I got everything I wanted today, but I don't know what's going to happen
tomorrow," said Sandy Ingber, buyer for the Oyster Bar, which serves about
1,500 meals a day. Earlier in the week he was unable to get New Zealand
mussels or Ipswich clams and spent hours on the phone lining up alternate
supplies.
   "We could do without the fish market, but I don't want to," he said. "I
want to SEE the fish I buy before it's delivered to the restaurant."
