 WASHINGTON, July 14.-Martin w. MulhaII, professed field agent. stock broker, lobbyist and political worker for the National Association of Manu- lecturers. continued today to testify before the lobby investigating com mittee Mulhall was on the stand for six hours. During that time nearly GOO letters, telegrams and scraps of memoranda were identified by him with hardly more than a glance.
 He remembered apparently the first names of members of congress. lesser politicians, labor leaders, underling secretaries to congressman, and all the men he had worked with through years of most active campaigning in many parts of the country. His per fOrmance so interested the lawyers present that they sat throughout the day intently watching the witness, listening closely to the letters and every word the witness uttered in the brief cross examination that accom- panied some of them.
 The threatened rupture between the senate and house committees appar- ently ended in a friendly agreement subscribd to by both sides Under this arrangement the senate committee
 
 before he is turned over to the house. and also put in the record all the Mulhau correspondence that it cares to. Copies of all letters and memo randa put in the record will be fur nished to every member of the Garret committee and will have ample time to study the case before they get Mulhall.
 Tn the meantime James Emery, the Washington attorney for the National Association of Manufacturers, who is under subpoena by both committees, will be allowed to appear in the house wing with the papers he was ordered to produce. Chairman Overman said tonight that all the difficulties that had appeared so formidable for a few days had been smoothed out and that each committee will now proceed on it's own way without a conflict.
 The senate committee devoted today largely to the reading into the record of the tale of MulhalFs political activ- ities. There was occasional reference to strikes in which the lobbyist fig ured and an allusion now and then to the inside workings of labor unions, but for the most part it was a story of politics as Mulhan played the game.
 S correspondence tOlQ OI GI- forts to re-elect former Congressman Iittlefield of Maine and the defeat of the present representative of that dis trict, Daniel J. McGillicuddy. Little field was to be supported by the National Association because of his stand against labor legislation. Null hall said on. cross examination that he had been told $6O,O0 was spent in that campaign Littlefield was beaten. MuIhalI's letters went into detail con cerning the campaign made in Mary land to beat former Congressman Pearre Of Cumberland. Pearre was the author of the injunction bill and Mulhall and other agents went out to get his political scalp.
 Just before the committee adjourn ed the letters began to show Null halls activities after Marshall Cush- ing. secretary of the association, with whom he had corresponded so long, had resigned.
 Gushing resigned.' Mulhall de- cIared, because he said no self re- specting politician could report on the labor work
 Mulhall and Cushing resigned in the spring of 1907 to the late James w. Vancleave. then president of the association, who wanted a full report of all the work. The committee then read several letters from Mulhall to Van Cleave in which the lobbyist showed that he didn't care so much about Cushing after the secretary had left the association.
 Some letters that were read earlier in the day showed that Mulhall had been known to the late vice president, James $. Sherman, who in 1911 was chairman of the national republican congressional committee. In letter that he wrote July l. 1907, to sherman, Mulhall said he was going west and would call on the Hon orable James E. Watson, of the Sixth Indiana district, and intended to look up members of the organization III that district that would do some active work for WastOn.
 T pledge you before starting there the letter said, that we will be able to land Watson again in the next house"
 July ?, Sherman, on paper or the republican committee, wrote to Mulhall as follows:
 Dear Colonel: I am glad you are still interested in political as well as
