The general manager conveys his ideas and instructions to the division managers by means of personal letters. The division officials, on receipt of the general manager's letter of advice, immediately transmit instructions to the various superintendents. These officials communicate the will of the division and general managers to the different assistant superintendents, and the latter officials hasten to instruct the individual operatives.
Messrs. Wm. A. and Robert A. Pinkerton, the principals, are kept posted by General Manager Bangs as to everything of note transpiring in the Agency; and in case a matter of extreme importance turns up, the principals are consulted in advance of any action being taken. No increase in salary becomes effective, no appomtment to an executive position is valid, nor can any executive official of the Agency be discharged without the written orders of the principals.
The Pinkerton Labor Spy. 29
The Messrs. Pinkerton spend much of their time visiting the diiferent offices on tours of inspection.
In this way the wheels of the Agency keep smoothly revolving, gain additional force and momentum with the lapse of time, and harmoniously co-operate one with the other in the work of fighting labor and amassing a fortune for the Pinkerton family.
