Littlefield Explains Effect
of Gompers Lobby on
Legislation
EX-CONRESSMAN
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Declares Colleagues Were
Scared by Samuel
Gompers

Washington, Sept. 20.-The House
lobby committee abandoned work on its
report yesterday long enough to hear
former Representative Charles e. Little
field of Maine, who, according to the
testimony of NJ. Mulhall, former lobby
ist for the National Association OF Man
ufacturers, was one of the chief allies of
that organization in the house. Mr.. Lit
tlefield testified yesterday that be-
ginning with his entrance to congress in
1899 until he resigned i'll 1908 he found
IAN active, energetic and powerful
labor lobby headed by Samuel Gompers."
When Gompers opposed legislation, Mr..
Littlefeld said many members of the
House found it convenient to side with
labor. Mr.. Littlefield said he did not in
tend to criticise members of the House
for their position on labor bills. "But,"
he explained, when Gompers and the
labor people became active the tall tim
Der was thickly populated and there was
plenty of space in the open"

Copenhagen, Sept 20.-By departing
for Upernvik, Greenland, to wed an Eski-
mo named Cemnity, Miss Ellen Groth, a
pretty Danish girl, win set precedent
by being the first known white woman

plorer, DIR. Freuchen took an Eskimo
woman to wife. The Eskimo women are
said to be very pretty
On leaving for Greenland, Miss Groth
was given an enthusiastic farewell by
her friends and on board ship her arms

Denmark used to be famous for its
lobster fisheries, but lately the tasty
shell fish has grown so scarce that it
has become very costly, so much so that
the market here has been successfully in
yaded by American canned lobster
After a long conference of scientific
experts and practical fishermen, it has
been decided to adopt the American
method OF Matching Holsters, and the
work will be taken up all over Denmark
under government auspices. The state

Littlefeld with Manufacturers.

Mr.. Littlefield frankly told the COM
mittee that his views of labor legislation
conceded with those of the manufactur-
ers and that early in his congressional
career he gladly accepted the aid Of the
National Association of Manufacturers
through Marshall Gushing, then its
Washington representative. Gushing
was doing what he could to counterfeit
the influence of Gompers and the Fed
Grafton of Labor" said Littlefield. Lit
tlefield said that Mulhall went to his
district in 1906 to help in his campaign.
"The more | saw of Mulhall," he said,
"the less | liked him. / told the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers not
to send him to my district again" Lit
tlefeld added that in this campaign he
faced the opposition of Samuel Gompers
and the American Federation of Labor.
