Washington, July 14.-Martin M.
Mulhall, who acknowledged himself to
have been one of the chief lobbyists
for the National Association of Man
ufacturers, was on hand today when
the senate investigating committee
met prepared to make additional dis
closures concerning the alleged ac-
tivities of "big interests" in shaping
Legislation.
John Mitchell, the labor leader,
was subpoenaed for today. Former
Congressman George P, Pearre of
Maryland was excused until next
Monday, and Mitchell was told to
come back July 25, when Samuel
Gompers has been directed to appear.
Mulhall's first testimony today re-
lated to letters from Marshall Cush-
ing, secretary of the national Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, suggesting
campaign against Pearre.
Why did you oppose Pearre?" ask
ed Read
son account Of his Stand on the
injunction bill the same did Nc
Comas," said the witness.
The plan by which Mulhall and the
officers of the Philadelphia typothe-
tae proposed to break down the
printers strike there in 1906 was out
lined in a report Mulhall identified as
one he had made to John A. McIn-
tyre, secretary of the National ty-
pothetae.
Details of cho fight against \Pearre
were brought out through letter
from Mulhall to NJ. c. Hoffman of
Cumberland, Md, dated April N,
1906, which outlined a plan to send
you all the labor organizers you wish,
and guarantee ali of them to be first
class men," to organize the fight
against Perrea.
Mulhall told about making personal
visits to Cumberland to lend his in
fluence in the convention to defeat
ing Chairman Pearre, and one Of the
letters he received from his employ
ers which said: eve want to do all
we can to defeat that gentleman, so
redouble your efforts and don't get
caught"
Al letter to Mulhall from G H. Holtz
man at Cumberland said that the anti
Pearre organization was costing 5000
a day and much persuasion was
necessary
What do you mean by persuasion?
Senator Nelson.
Money said the witness. Had a
large colored vote that needed seeing
often, he explained.
"You had to see the colored voters
over and over again?" suggested
Chairman Overman.

On June IA. 1905, Gushing wrote to
Mulhall telling him that he could point
out that Pearre was playing both
ends against the middle"
Cushing wrote:
you ought to point out to all such
people-that is-those who naturally
ought to be against Pearre, how he is
trying to play both ends against the
middle; that he is attorney for the
Baltimore and Ohio and could not ex-
cuse himself as q paid employe if be

working the labor racket" with great
success and that federal ofdcehold-
ers are supplying the money"
In letter to Gushing in April, 1906,
lMulhall wrote of a conference on
March % 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 10 congress.
Mulhall wrote Gushing that he had
found that the threat of Mr.. Comp
ers was being carried out to the best
of his ability and added that the
Gompers labor leaders are doing
their utmost to turn the labor organ
ization into the Hearst movement in
Philadelphia. l am perfectly conf
dent that Mr.. Gompers and his labor
leaders can be badly beaten if the
movement is taken hold of in time"
Mulhall prophesied:
Il know if you take hold in the
right way seonclaaa8, I'D more
delegations like the one that called
with Gompers on the president will
ever be gotten up and I know that
the splendid organization you have
got in the National Association of
Manufacturers can easily put those
people out of business.
Martin M. Mulhall, self-styled lob
byist for ten years for the National
Association of Manufacturers, inter-
rupted the senate lobby investigation
today to reply to what he declared
were personal attacks on his charac-
ter and his purpose in the expose.
He denied that he had tried to sell
the great mass Of papers and letters
which were recently published, ana
which now are in the nands of the
senate committee. Later, ne SAID, he
proposed to introduce witnesses and
letters to show that ne had been en-
gagged for months in trying to give
away the greaC file OF correspond
ence which has brought ottlcers Of

facturers and labor leaders ana con-
