HOUSE LOBBY PROBE
JUST MARKS TIME
Committee Can Do Nothing
Until Senate Releases the
Needed Witness.

Minus witnesses and the documents
behind the Mulhall charges, the House
lobby investigating committee held an
other executive session today without
reaching a definite conclusion as 20 its
program.
The committee will meet again at 4
o'clock and Chairman Garrett an
nounced he would have statement to-
night or the plans of the committee
1t Is understood that the House probers
have tentatively reached the decision
that they are helpless SO long as the
Senate committee retains possession OF
Mulhall and his papers and there is
nothing for the House committee to
do except mark time for lew days.
The committee will endeavor to Oh
tain from the Overman investigators a
complete print of the Mulhali docu-
nents in order that the House commit
tee members may be acquainting them
selves with the details of the volumin-
Gus record OF the National Association
of Manufacturers.
Feeling that they were appointed to
probe especially the Mulhail charges,
there is so far disposition on the part
OF the Garrett committee not to take up
other branches of the inquiry unless the
Senate shows signs Of holding Mulhail
indefinitely. ,
The members of the House commit
tee diSciaim any intention OF desire
to get Mulhall away from the Senate
committee until that body has finished
with him. Their only object in serving
subpoena on him, they say, was to
obtain enough information to form the
basis for the examination Of McMichael,
whose former status as an employe of
the House makes him an important
witness
But McMichael evidently had been
persuaded to keep out OF the clutches
of the House committee. Apparently
he has resumed relations with Mulhall,
In spite OF the latter's charges that Nc
Michael acte6 as his spy" Mulhall's
accusations caused the dismissal of Nc
Michael from his place in the House.
The House committee is anxious to
obtain the testimony of McMichael as
soon az possible, because of McMichaels
official relationship to Congressman
James T. McDermott of Illinois, who
was represented by MulhalI as having
been working with him against labor
legislation while pretending to be a
friend Of organized labor To what
extent Mulhall has accused Congress-
man McDermott in mis- private disclos-
ures to the Senate committee has not
been made known. There was enough
in the published Mulhall story in regard
to McDermott TO make the House in
vestigators anxious to examine both
McDermott and McMichael
