and labor leaders throughout the
United States The correspondence
according to evidence which has been
revealed, he has sought TO sell to
magazines and newspapers several
times, but In vain. Nonchalantly, the
ex lobbyist has pointed out letter

Secrets of big politics are being
barred daily during the investigation.
Details Of how spies worked among
the labor men, and OF the secret
methods Of big business have been
explained by Mulhall at more than
one point In his testimony.
In defense OF his own lobbying.
Mulhall made statements that labor
lobby existed, naming Samuel
Gompers. As a result Gompers and
J. Z. Bird, general manager OF the
National Association OF Manufacture
ers, win be brought before the COM
mittee to explain their activities in
the cause Of labor and capital re-
spectively.
