The debate was precipitated by three
resolutions introduced by Representa-

Representative Henry of the rules COM

people thought Miss Markham unwise
not to accept the offer When Miss
Markham insisted on proceeding with
the suit, London gossips anticipated that
she had a sensational story to tell and
interest in the suit rose accordingly.
The damages paid are the heaviest re-
covered for many years in breach of
promise suit.
Sir Edward Carson explained that
Miss Markham had met the marquis
last year, when he made a promise of
marriage to her which was not denied.
subsequently, at the desire of his father,
the marquis broke off the engagement
In doing so he wrote to Miss Markham
that he wanted her to believe his action
had been taken from sense of duty,
genuinely believing it best for both par
ties.
Continuing, the marquis wrote: "Nou
do not know how these so-called ladies
will treat you and | really could not
bear to see you suffering it. Oh! If
could but escape from my position! You
will always be my ideal, my beautiful
dream

ers by employing union men and pay
ing them.
Col. Aulhall tells of using similar tao
tics in the machinists' strike in Cleve-
land in 1908 and of working in the shoe
workers strike in st. Louis in 1907 and
Portsmouth, O., in 1909 and of aiding
in the settlement of the Danbury hat
tiers strike. In all of these labor trou-
bles the coloneFs efforts were apparently
successful.
In the Cleveland strike Mulhall tells
of buying off several of the strike lead
ers. AIulhall saws that Secretary
Sehwedtman paid the bills as he pre-
scented them to him. The colonel was
successful in having this strike called
off. Included in the documents yelating
to this strike is printed list of strike
leaders and the amounts alleged to have
been paid to each for aiding Mulhall.
Similar tactics were used BY Mulhall
in handling the shoe workers strike in
Portsmouth, This strike was conducted
by the Knights of Labor, and Mulhall
tells of enlisting the aid of officers OF
the American Federation of Labor.
Concerning the strike of the Danbury
hatters, Col. Mulhall says that he had

saws he made a donation of 5000 to Mr..
Meserve's church. He clams that the

after the strike settlement and that he

OF his reports, tells of winning over Mr..
Meserve and Father Stanley. In report
ing on this he wrote:
Father Kennedy is a Tsmmany poll

taking any chances with him. DIR. Me-
serve is a large, broad-minded gentle
man. and Father Stanley is the same,
