"Conley gave us as his reason for
doing this that the police did not
want to volunteer too much, as it
would look like favoritism on their
part, but Conley said: When actual
violence occurs then the police have
a good excuse for action"
(Note: See how Masterson mixes
up the highfalutin' language of a
lawyer and the slang of the criminal
world. He dictated the aff1davit.)
Right at this time 1 received my
first intimation that more such tao
tics would be employed by Lamm &
Co. told Conley that we had no
trouble in making away with the job,
as it was quiet neighborhood, that
there was nobody to get a spot on
our car. We had reconnoitered the
neighborhood as to such time that
everybody was off the street. Conley
stated at this time that the strikers
would be blamed for it, and said fur
Their that every time they threatened
anybody he would make note of it
and we would beat them to it in the
same way again. During this last
conversation, the morning after this
job was done, Kenney was present

has Mayor thompson Deen
fooled? Has a crooked police force
joined with private detective agen-
cies led the mayor to the idea that
all the rough stuff in the garment
strike is one-sided? These ques-
tons are raised in the mind of any
one who reads these statements from
the affidavit of David Roy ('Bat")
Masterson, chief of private police at
Lamm & Co, same affidavit being
now in the hands of States Atty
Hoyne. 1t reads in part:
James Conley, superintendent of
Lamm & Co., called me into the office
of Lamm & Co. and a conversation
was held with Conley, A. H. Lamm
and Mr.. Wolfe, advertising manager.
Conley stated the strikers had
threatened an Italian, who was
working at that time in the shop of
Lanhm & Co., that if he did not quit
work they would go out and smash
up his house. Conley said a plan
had been made up whereby we could
beat the strikers to it.
HE said: We have a couple of
fellows from another agency, but we
would like you and Yank (this mean
ing Yank Kenney) to go along. We
want you to get some rocks and put
them in the bosses automobile and
go out to 2o3a Wabansia aV., knock
out a couple windows and then
beat it.

men from the Turner agency went
