Washington, July 15.-For the first time Col. NJ. M. Mulhan revealed how he got publicity for his story of his 10 years work as lobbyist for the N. A. M. He denied he personally sold the story to the New Yorw World and the Chicago Tribune in his testimony before the senate lobby committee, declaring it was arranged through newspaper tipster named Barry.
 Prior to this, MulhalI said, he had offered his narrative gratis to Hearst's Magazine, but it was refused.
 After he had contracted for the tell ing the story, Mulhall said, Barry urged him to break the agreement, declaring he could get $150,O0O from some other organization" The wit ness said he told Barry that the N. A. M. didn't have money enough to get seeking money for the confession" and that he woum go ahead under tho present arrangement.
 At one point in his examination Mulhall asked permission to state how he came to make his confession"
 He produced a letter which he said was written to Editor Perriton Max well, of Hearsts Magazine, May 16. It complained that Maxwell had refused to polish his letters.
 "I can't understand why you will not give publicity to these papers" Mn1hal1 tn Maxun1 CT asking monetary consideration for them.
 Mulhall then angrily declared: q attempted for two months to give these documents away. 1 made three visits to MT. Hearst, at MT. Maxwelrs suggestion, and offered them without cost"
 Col! Mulhalls testimony related to letters from Marshall Cushing, secre- tary of the National Association of Manufacturers, suggesting a campaign against Pearre.
 Mulhall said he made frequent visits to Pearre's district and conferred with former Senator Wellington, George H. Holtzman, postmaster at Cumberland, and others.
 Why did you oppose Pearre?' asked Reed
 "On account of his stand on the in- Junction bill, same as did McComas," said the witness.
 The plan by which Mulhall and off cers of the Philadelphia typothetae pro- posed to break down the printers strike there in 1905 was outlined in a report identified by Mulhall as one he had made to John A. Mcintyre, secretary of the National typothetae.
 "A great many men had been brought up from the south to take strikers places, but proved no good to the employers" wrote Mulhall. Our plan was to get them to go out on strike also, so they would become charges on the unions and help eat up their funds"
 The report to Mcintyre told of an arrangement with employment agen- cies to obtain new men, who were to be encouraged to strike as soon as the labor unions suggested it.
 Details of the fight against Pearre were brought out through letter from Mulhall to NJ. c. Holtzman, of Cumberland, Md, dated April 27, 1906, which outlined 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.
 "Persuasion" Meant Money.
 Mulhall told about making personal visits to Cumberland to lend his in- fluence in the campaign to defeat Congressman Pearre. and of one of the letters he received from his em- ployers, which said; We want to do all we can to defeat that gentle man, so redouble your efforts, and don't get caught"
 A letter to Mulhall from c. H. Holtzman, at Cumberland, said the anti-Pearre organization there was costing $200 day, and much per suasion" was necessary.
 What do you mean by persua- sion?" asked Senator Nelson.
 Money" said the witness, crisply. we had large colored vote there
