Thug Detective Agency Unmasked in Chicago Raid
Five taxi loads of police and detectives under State’s Attorney Hoyne raided the Sherman Service offices arresting 50 and seizing letters.

Evidence includes thugs used to provoke violence and a plan to distrust nationalities to spur actions benefitting steel firms. A letter from October 10 details propaganda to incite worker divisions. The ad campaign proclaims the firm’s deferral classification during conscription as essential to national interests.
