Dubious L.A. Brown report
Roger Baldwin blew the operation before it even began.

Roger Baldwin may have compromised the investigation, raising questions as to the authenticity of the witness statements undercover investigator L.A. Brown reported. Roger Baldwin addressed a letter to E.M. Boyd, secretary of the Tulsa chapter, with the address of the chapter headquarters in Tulsa after police and officials had tarred and feathered the I.W.W. members and run them out of town, threatening to do the same to anyone who assisted them. "I wrote him a letter in name of the I.W.W. in Tulsa, but have had no reply." . L.A. Brown wrote from Tulsa, to Roger Baldwin, informing him, "No investigation could be made here if it were known that such investigation was being attempted." . Roger Baldwin's letter addressed to the I.W.W. headquarters, which was under surveillance, contains the combination of sensitive administrative and operational information which could compromise an undercover investigation. specifically, he informs them that an investigator will be sent to Tulsa shortly and lists his suspicions and questions he wants answered. .

A recent event, having occurred in Cincinnatti, The Bigelow Outrage, involved a similar incident of a preacher by the name of Bigelow being tarred and feathered for speaking at a socialist rally. A letter supposedly from E.M. Boyd, addressing a letter intended for Roger Baldwin, addressing it to Mr. Bigalow, apparently a joke in poor taste by whoever was responding then addresses him as Roy Waldrin, apparently teasing Roger Baldwin about the neatness of his handwriting in another letter. both hand written letters purportedly from the same person are in different handwriting.

L.A. Brown reported being present in Tulsa to Baldwin, conducting his investigation, on December 29, 1917.

"E.M. Boyd" wrote to Roger Baldwin, January 30, 1918, adding that Tate Brady was present at the time of the tarring and feathering but did not mention any participation.

Roger Baldwin warned against publishing any names due to the uncertainty of witnesses on February 20, 1918. <--!"We have not used the names of the citizens of Tulsa, whom he accused of being in the mob, although he made it perfectly plain that we have them. if we got called on it, and anyone wanted to bring suit, they would have to collect a lot of uncertain witnesses."-->
