概要

Mafia, 1929 Atlantic City Conference.
The 1929 Atlantic City Conference (May 13–16) was a landmark summit of U.S. organized crime leaders held at the Breakers Hotel, aimed at curbing violent territorial disputes and organizing bootlegging after the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Organized by Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, it aimed to establish a national crime syndicate, with local boss Enoch "Nucky" Johnson providing a safe harbor.

Key Details of the Conference:
- Purpose: The summit addressed territorial disputes, distribution rights, and the restructuring of criminal operations into a more professional, collaborative business (a "National Crime Syndicate").
- Attendees: The gathering included top gangsters from across the country, such as Al Capone (Chicago), Lucky Luciano (NY), Meyer Lansky (NY), Johnny Torrio, Frank Costello, Dutch Schultz, and Waxy Gordon.
- Host: Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, the political and racketeering boss of Atlantic City, hosted the event, ensuring local law enforcement did not interfere.
- Significance: It is often considered the first major Mafia conference in the 20th century. It laid the groundwork for better cooperation between Irish, Jewish, and Italian gangs, shifting focus from bloodshed to business.
- Aftermath: While intending to reduce violence, the gathering brought together high-profile targets, with Al Capone’s presence drawing significant scrutiny, contributing to future federal efforts against him.

The conference highlighted Atlantic City's role as a "neutral" resort town where "wet" policies allowed Prohibition-era rackets to flourish under Nucky Johnson's protection.
