Asking the Pinkertons would be my first try, although I don't know if
they'd tell any secrets.  They have an ugly web site up at 

    http://www.pinkertons.com/

with some history at

    http://www.pinkertons.com/frames/fframes/fhist2.htm

which mentions Hammett briefly, along with a tiny mention of
strike-breaking.  This probably won't be of much help, but I thought
I'd mention it.
