Thomas A. Edison, Esq.,
West Orange, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
G.W.C. reports:
West Orange, N.J., Saturday, September 19, 1903
I arrived at the Edison Works in company with Opr. J.J.O'S at 6:45 A.M., at the side gate on Lake Side Ave., and remained on duty until 1:00 P.M., then went to lunch, returning at 1:30 P.M., and did duty until 5:20 P.M., at which time I withdrew.
During the forenoon Opr. J.J.O'S and I were called into the tool room to get a good look at several of the men that Foremen Williams is suspicious of, this being done for future reference to determine if the parties designated would meet in any way the pickets or delegates.
At 12:00 P.M. there were twelve or fifteen strikers loitering around when the men came out, but they did not interfere nor converse with them. At 12:20 P.M. Opr. J.J.O'S followed Foreman Williams to his house.
Further than the above nothing of importance occurred.
Report of Opr. J.J.O's is incorporated in the foregoing.
Yours truly,
Pinkerton's National Detective Agency
