The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-06-24

In the past three or four months,
man after man has been hauled before
the Municipal Court on charges of vio-
lating the law made BY disinterested
persons and have testified that they had
been brought to this city by the Metal
Trades Association to help break the
machinists' strike. Most of them were
not machinists but professional thugs,
and went about our city armed to the
teeth. An officer by the name of Car
man had the courage to attempt to
search one of these strike breakers and
was put on the carpet by Director Fried
lander, who is himself a member of the
Metal Trades Association, as well as
OUR honorable Mayor; and Officer Car
man was lucky that they did not dis
miss him.
The police have been used as strike
breakers repeatedly; they pretend to
console the striker and advise him to
go back to work. ~t '-s
Officer Carman was almost refused
an opportunity to present witnesses to
show that he had acted properly, as the
following affidavit sets out

Now comes George Opferkuck, A. H.
Konerman and H. Landman, who being
first duly sworn, on oath state that they
attended a hearing in the office of In
spector Kane of the Cincinnati Police
Department, wherein it was charged
that Officer Carman, of the Cincinnati
police force, had stopped scab or
strike breaker and searched him for
concealed weapons; that Inspector Kane
took the testimony of the scab or strike
breaker to the effect that he had been
stopped by the officer, but refused to
take the testimony of these affiants, but
directed that one of the firm of the Gin
cinnati Electrical Tool Company be sum-
moned, stating at the time that he knew
it was just a trick of the strikers to
find out whether the man was armed,
and if he was not armed to proceed
to beat him UP; he refused to hear the
