Pinkerton Agency accused of evading detective law in Wisconsin
Senator La Follette charged the Pinkerton National Detective Agency with evading the detective registration statute by calling informants watchmen. Chicago division manager Cagiden testified the firm did labor espionage for General Motors and other Wisconsin employers, including a Janesville Chevrolet plant worker, Harald Lomis. The Janesville GM arrangements were ended in April, Camden said, with Pinkerton quitting GM espionage on January 31. Pinkerton also investigated radical and labor activity in Wisconsin for the National Metal Trades Association, Camden added.
