Originally a society of mostly Jewish hitmen, Murder Inc. eventually became the American Crime Syndicate's rub-out wing. In the early 30's, as Lucky Luciano was building his empire, his associates Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel started Murder Inc. as a way to deal with "problems."
Murder Inc. was an unqualified success. Eventually, Seigel and Lansky moved on to bigger and better things, but it continued to grow under the care of Albert Anastasia and Louis Buchalter. Murder Inc. hitmen were treated very well, even by todays standards. They recieved insurance, health care, retirement packages, and a very respectable paycheck. In addition to their killing fees, hitmen would receive a yearly salary to simply sit around and wait for a call.
Murder Inc. elicited great loyalty from it's employees, thanks to it's excellent HR department. When George Young and Joseph Schaefer were arrested for a hit they had performed, Bugsy Seigel bought the men top flight lawyers and payed salaries to their families while they were incarcerated.

Murder Inc. was a group of thugs (hired assasins) that would take contracts out on rival gang members.
