lobbyist and strike-breaker Null
hall who is to be the star witness
before the Senate lobby committee,
has complained to Chairman Oyerman
that he has received a distinct hint
that il would be we'll for him to
leave Washington. He makes no
charges about the warning other than
he believes it was intended 10 intimi-
date him. Mulhall has been informed
by Senator Overman that If he wishes
Il he can have deputy sergeant-at-
arms assigned to him to protect him
from interference of any kind. Off
cials Of the National Association of
Manufacturers laugh at the Mulhall
complaint and assert that II there is
any truth in it some one outside Of
their association is responsible
we would not surrender the op-
portunity of getting Mulhall on the
stand and confronting him with GER

building today and remained in the
room of Senator Reed of Missouri,
where he would be in touch with the
lobby committee II was the COM
mittee's intention to call Mulhall after
hearing a couple of minor witnesses
regarding the wool lobby. The plans
for his testimony, as arranged by the
committee i'm executive session, pro-
vided that he was first to be permitted
10 tell his object in testifying' Null
hall was expected positively to de-
clare that there was no motive of re-
venge in his story. He was TO say
that he had finally realized just what
his operations meant and that he de-
sired to end for all time terrorism of
the character for which he was re-
sponsible as the accredited agent Of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
Then Mulhall was to read into the
record the 10000 letters covering his
experience which the committee has
had printed. The summary of the
best of these letters have already
been printed in the news dispatches
of the United Press. All are of the
same general character and deal With
open lobbying in the interest of hills
fathered by the n. A. NJ. threats made
TO representatives and senator's of
the power of the organization, and
Mulhalrs own accounts OF how he
broke strike after strike at the be-
hest of the officers of this organiza-
tion of employers of labor.
Giant Probe Predicted.
II was certain today that the story
of Mulhall would set on foot an in
vestigation the ramlucations of
which will carry into every section of
the United States. The committee has
decided that he will be permitted TO
tell of his operations in his own way.
He has confidently informed members
of the committee who have talked
with him that of his own positive
knowledge he can tell of the inside of
many OF the great strikes which
have paralyzed industry OF every
character He has promised TO tell
of the buying of certain labor leaders
like cattle and of a campaign OF be-
trayal of such men which will eclipse
anything heretofore suggested in this
country,
Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell
as officials Of the American Federation
OF Labor and George rope, president
and ]. p. Bird general manager or the

low Mulhall and 1t is expected there
will be a rush of many or those i'm

to take the lid off the entire labor
situation In the United States.
