wreck the Commercial Photographers
Union, which appeared in the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Journal yes
terday, was a startling story of the
schemes Big Business resorts to in
order to crush union labor.
Every sinister plan imaginable was
tried by the w. U. T. officials to wreck
the union. Hotel rooms were looted,
baggage was rifed, union records
were stolen from railroad depots,
spies were employed, and then finally
the Western Union retired, beaten,
after spending $4,000.
To back up their story the teleg-
raphers have afidaVits for secret
operatives of the company who have
confessed. In. the current issue of
the Journal appears the confession of
George L.-Gonverse, who is said to be
nephew of R. M. Shoemaker, spe-
cial agent of the w. u. T. Co.
Converse confesses employing
criminal methods to get something

Co. stole suitcase belonging to an
official of the union from the Lasalle
street station in Chicago, during
June, 1912, and took the: contents
East. This stolen information was
taken to the office of Belvidere
Brooks, general manager of the COM
pany, by a man said to be his secre-
tary.
The affidavits in possession of the
union also show that the spies used to
carry lot Of skeleton keys, and break
into hotel rooms. Also, that through
the influence of the w. U. the opera

1t also says that two officials in

cussed and encouraged theft; that an
operative left their presence saying
he was going right over to Konen-
kamp's hotel and lift" something
right then and that this operative
later brought back evidence of sue
cess. ."..
The union had sort of joke on the
company in connection with stealing
of a book from President Konen-
kamp's, baggage while he was in
Portland, Ore. $50
This book contained the names of
many non-members and a small pro-
portion of members This book was
copied and padded by R. M. Shoe
maker, special agent, so that it might
look better for him and then sent to
Belvidere Brooks Office in New York.
AS a result of this the company
fired hundreds Of non-union men in
the belief they were getting rid Of ,
union men. ,'a-.-N
A letter in possession of the union
proves conclusiyely that Belvidere
Brooks knew of the operation of the
gang of spies in spite Of his denial
in New York. The letter is from r.
M. Shoemaker to one of his spies. 1t
follows: :-.
