\nDear Sir:
\nG.W.C. reports:
\nWest Orange, N.J., Monday, Oct 26th, 1903
\nI arrived at Edison's works at 6:45 A.M., and was on duty at the side gate on Lakeside Ave.
\nShortly after arriving three delegates put in their appearance, and a little later two more arrived. They remained in the saloon opposite the works most of the day, occasionally walking up to Valley Road. When one of the delegates was passing me he stopped and said, "Well, what do you think of it now?" I replied that it was cold. He said, "Yes", but he did not care as long as he was being paid he could lounge around the saloon and keep warm. I asked him how long they were going to keep it up, and he said until the company gave in. He said the ledge could do it, as it had compelled larger firms to do so.
\nNothing of importance occurred.
\nAt 6:20 P.M., the delegates having left the vicinity of the works, I discontinued for the day.
\nYours turly,
\nPinkerton's National Detective Agency,
\nby
