This work examines the operational methods of the Pinkerton Detective Agency and its involvement in labor disputes, specifically the Cripple Creek strike and the legal case against Moyer, Haywood, and Pettibone. The author details the activities of various undercover operatives and argues that the agency functions as an essential tool for the capitalist class in its conflict with organized labor.

192 The Pinkerton Labor Spy.

It often happens that three or four weeks pass by, without Denver having even one criminal operation on hand; but, for argument's sake, we are willing to give the office credit for having as many as five criminal operations a week, EVERY WEEK IN THE YEAR. The regular Agency rate for the services of operatives is $8 per day per man and expenses; but large corporations and the societies previously mentioned get a SPECIAL RATE of $6 per day per operative and expenses. Therefore, five operatives at $6 per day yield an income of $210 per week, or $10,920 per year.

Total Agency Expense per year $43,7S8.oo
