for the record letters of solicitation
from II detective and breaking

After the strike began, on June "a,
Cunningham recounted, he engaged
guards from the Manning Agency and
missionary workers" from the Sher-

gagged 200 Sherwood men.

the Sherwood employees being depu-
tized, and when such deputation was
refused because of reputation of some
of the men, he had ordered discon-
tinuance Of the service. He author.
lied payment of $4,000 for one day,

Mrs. Ruth Hogendorn. Republican

c. A., it was revealed before the COM
| mittee earlier in the day.
Hoffman's part in the transaction
was a personal letter which he wrote
on State Of New Jersey stationery to
E. T. Cunningham, president Of the
R. C. A. concern, as follows:
Dear Mr.. Cunningham:
| This letter will be presented by
Mr. Max Sherwood. chief of Sher-
woods Detective Bureau, 1887 Broad
way, New York City.
Il have been acquainted with Mr..
Sherwood for some time, and have
been most favorably impressed by
| his work He feels that there may
be some opportunity for service to
your company, and would more than
appreciate it if you can grant him
| a short interview, or refer him to the
proper official of your company.
With kindest regards, I am
Sincerely,
(signed) HAROLD G. HOFFMAN.
Governor"
200 Guards Engaged.
On the strength of this letter and
subsequent calls by Sherwood and a
salesman, Cunningham and Vice Pres
| ident Robert Shannon testified they
engaged 200 Sherwood guards and an
additional number of missionary
workers for strikebreaking duty dur
| ing strike of last Summer.
Subsequently, however, when depu-
tizing of the guards was refused be-
cause Of reputation OF the Sherwood
employees, the company ordered the
agreement discontinued. As the easiest
way out, Shannon said. r. G. A. paid
Sherwood $4,000 for the guards and
an additional amount for the mission
airy workers although no service was
| rendered
Shannon said he believed the Sher-
wood contact wi Gov. HOFFMAN
would enable the agency to have Its
guards deputized in New ,rsey even
though they were imported from New
| York.
Somebody, either you or the Gov
ernor, was badly sold out" Senator
Thomas observed.
Payment 10 Agency.
With the strike guard work then
turned over exclusively to the Man
ming Industrial Service OF Newark,
Shannon said r. c. A. paid the agency
about $4,000.
An itemized statement showed this
sum to be $l56,193. Shannon ad-
mitted making no check as to accuracy
Of the termination as supplied by
Manning
Senator La Toilette at this point
introduced letter from the Manning
Agency to r. c. A., furnished by the
latter, in which the agency refused
names and addresses of guards fur
nished r. c. A., such information
being requested by the committee.

said, that the committee has been
unable to serve a subpoena on T. M.
