 The plan by which MulhaI1 and of ficers of the Philadelphia Typothetae proposed to break down the printers strike there in 1905 was outlined in a report Nulhan identified as one he had made to. John F. Mcintyre, secretary of the. National Fypothetae.
 A great many men had been brought up from the South to take strikers places but proved no good to the employers wrote ATulhall. "OuI plan was to get them to go out on strike also. so they would become up their funds"
 The repoet~eto Mcintyre told of an arrangement with employment agen- cies by which new. men could be se- cured who were to be encouraged to go on strike as soon as the labor un- ions suggested it.
 Details of the fight against Pearre
 
 from Mulhall to NJ. C. Holtzman of Cumberland, Md, dated April 27, 1906, which outlined a plan to send you all the labor organizers you wish, and guarantee all of them to be first class men, to organize the fight against Pearre.
 In a letter to Gushing In April, 1906, MulhaH wrote of a conference on March 22 between President Roose- welt and Samuel Gompers, at which, the letter said, Gompers declared that if labor were not favored more in legislation it would carry on a cam paign to elect labor men to congress. MuIhau wrote Gushing that he had found in tours of large cities that f'the threat of MT. Gompers was being car ried out to the best of his ability and added that the Gompers labor lead- CTS are doing their utmost to turn their labor organization in the Hearst movement in Philadelphia.
 "I am perfectly confident that MT. Gompers and his labor leaders can be badly beaten if the movement is talk en hold of in tine,H MuIhau prophe- sized "I know if you take hold in the right way" he concluded, mo more delegations like the one that call ed with Gompers on the President will ever be gotten up, and know that the splendid organization you have got in the National Association Of Manufacturers can easily put these people out of business"
