Illuminating Details Cleaned from Letters U,
 Manufacturers Association
SUGGEST FEUD WITH FEDERATION OF LABOR
Over Attempt Secure Control of Legislative Agencies of the Government-Emery Expects GomPers to Run Things with High Hand in Department of Labor

Washington. Aug. 5.-From the files Of the National Association of Manu- facturers today came the details of leg islAtive activities of the widest range, extending from the home districts of members of congress throughout the country to the White House and the capitol. While the senate lobby inves- rigat0rs pursued%heir probe by an ex- animation, of former Senator Joseph B. F0raSer of Ohio, the house committed got underway and placed in the record a hundred letters from the files of James A. Emery, chief counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers.
 From attempts to influence the selec- tion of labor and judiciary committees @f the house. the discussion of the possibility of coupling currency legisla- kon with the tariff bill at the present tession of congress. from conversations with Majority Leader Oscar w. Under wood of the house. to letters and tele- grams 10 Presidents Wilson and Taft, The correspondence covered every field Of public policy and legislative prac- tices-
 Recommended Campaign Contribution
 Frankly and quietly. Emery on the stand acknowledged that he had rec commended a contribution to oppose Representative Buchanan of Illinois for F~ views with leaders and members of congress in his attempts to influence Inc naming of committees or prevent she enactment of legislation urged by organized labor.
 The correspondence suggested a, bit- ter feud between the National Associa- ton of Manufacturers and the Ameri- can Federation of Labu- in an attempt 10 secure control of the legislative agencies of the government. Discuss ing the recent sundry civil bill, with it's provision prohibiting the expenditure of certain funds for the prosecution of farmers and labor unions under the sherman law. Emery wrote to Presi- dent John Kirby, Jr., of the association on March :. 1913. after President Taft had vetoed the bill:
 Will Democratic Motto Mean Any
 thing?
 T want to emphasize as hard as l can the importance of lining up for a bin reaches President Wilson. as 1t ur- doabtedly will. with the same provision in it. You win then have an early op- portunity 10 decide whether the glitter ing democratic motto-Equal rights for all and special privileges for none means anything. or whether the admin- fsrrasfon has surrendered completely Or wfll merely turn over the department of labor.
 Expects to See Gompers in Control.

Norwich bulletin., 1913-08-06

protest on this subject is mere waste of breath, and on the whole l am in clined to think that the whole purpose of this department will be shown up quicker with the unions in control ot 1t han in any other way. Gompers will run it characteristically with high hand, and if the whole thing does not smell to heaven within a year l shall i be very much astonished- By that time democratic simplicity will probably mean q union label on the White House stationary and the president conferring with the Walters union over the ap- pointment of his steward. At present we have nothing more startling in Jef- ferSOnian simplicity than the news that Mrs. Bryan is making new suit for the secretary of state, and that cakes and ginger ale will be served at the dinner for the British ambassador. Toothpicks will, of course, be an after dinner course at all cabinet receptions, and the demand for dress suits will be confined to walters in the hotels"
 Tn this sapne letter Emery advised Kirby, 'Tf you have any idea that Taft would have vetoed this bill of his own notion, get over it.
 In letter to Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport, Conn. in March. 1911, Elm cry told of interviewing, with MT. Kir- by Majority Leader Underwood on the organization of the committees of the new dempcratic house.
 We have kept the south pretty busy pounding the committee on committees for the past two weeks" he wrote
 His Estimate of Underwood.
 MT. Kirby was here Thursday and we had a long and frank talk with OS-
 9r Underwood, who is decent, level l. ,ded conservative. I really believe now that we will have a fairly con- servative judiciary committee, as good as we could expect from your demo- cratic brethren. but we are undoubted- ly going to have a bad labor commit tee. Underwood has frankly told me that it does not please him and un- doubtedly would not please us. He says it is the result of compromises that have been made necessary by in ternal dissenSiop and when he is frank enough to say that it won't please him I can imagine how it will strike us"
 The letters contained illuminating details Of the naethods of the National Association of Manufacturers agents in their opposition to nti-injunctieh bills, the bill creating the present de- partment of labor. bills providing for jury trial of contempt eases and z .1ler legislation urged by Organized labor, The list of letters presented today was about half of those called from Em= ery's files by the committee, They were written by OF to Kirby, Martin Mulhail, c, W, Post. Daniel Daven- pert, former Representative R, O, Moon of Pennsylvania, D, M, Parry of Indi- annapolis. George s, Beudinot, secretary of ths National Association of Manu- lecturers, and H, s, Chamberlain of Chattanooga, Tenn.
