Washington. July 3O.-Majority
Leader Oscar w. Underwood of the
house denounced Martin NJ Mulhall,
alleged lobbyist for the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. as 'liar
and a blackmailer." Mr.. Underwood
appeared before the senate lobby COM
mittee to deny that Mulhall had ever
talked to him about legislation before
congress. After one look at the wit
ness he said:
Il never saw him before in my
life"
Mr. Underwood appeared unexpect
edly and made a brief statement be.

false Mulhall's statement than an en-
ploye of the ways and means commit.

ing to Mulhall's earlier testimony the
man was paid $40 a month.
you made the statement that this
man was a blackmailer; that means
he used threats TO extort money"
said Senator Reed.
Il think he was trying TO get money
out OF his own people" returned Mr.
Underwood.
Chairman Underwood read MuIhalPs
letter about the alleged interview in
which Mulhall wrote that Underwood
had told him that he could not do
otherwise than appoint William B.
Wilson, now secretary of labor, chair
man Of the house labor committee, be-
cause there was no other candidate
before the ways and means commit
tee.
"Lie Out OF Whole Cloth"
THAT whole statement is a lie out
of whole cloth-not a word of truth
in it," declared Mr.. Underwood.
There never was a question but VIII.

and qualifications. IL is clear to me

Mulhall reiterated he had talked
with Underwood briefly in the corridor
and had written to his employers
about conditions just as found them
in Washington at that time"
Il have no desire to contradict Mr..
Underwood" he said, but | am con-
vinced that after he has heard my
other witnesses and this examination
has been ended he will take back part
OF what he has said"
The statements you made in your
letter were not true and can be proved
not true by other members of the
ways and means committee" retorted

Il will stand as clean before the

heatedly.
The incident created a furry that
had not wholly subsided when the
committee settled down to the further
identification of letters.
