On June "A, 1906, Cushing wrote to
Mulhall telling him that he could
point out that Pearre was playing
both ends against the middle Cush-
| ing wrote:
you ought to point out to all such
reople-that is, those who natural
, v ought to be against Pearre-how he
is trying to play both ends against
} the middle; that he is attorney for the
baltimore and Ohio and could not eX-
cuse himself as a paid employe if he
does not oppose legislation when it
Icomes to show down
so while Pearre is playing both
ends against the middle, perhaps you
can play both ends against the mid
die On your own account"
A letter from Hoffman to Mulhall
June "a, 1906, urged the latter to help
Immediately to raise funds for the
final effort to beat Pearre at the prnl-
aries. 1t is said that Pearre was
working "the labor racket" with great
success and that the federal office
holders" are supplying the money.
In letter to Gushing in April, 1906,
Mulhall wrote of conference on
March %. between President Roose-
Welt and Samuel Gompers, at which
the letter said, Gompers declared that
If labor were not favored more in
legislation, it would carry on a cam
paign to elect labor men to congress-
Mulhall wrote Gushing that he had
found that the threat of Mr. Gompers
was being carried out to the best of
his ability" and added that the Com
pers labor leaders are doing their ut
most to turn their labor organization
into the Hearst movement in Phla.
delpha."
Il am perfectly confident that Mr.
Gompers and his labor leaders can be
badly beaten if the movement is taken
hold of in time Mulhall wrote.
II know if you take hold in the
right way" he concluded mo more
delegations like the one that called
with Gompers on the president will
ever be gotten up and know that the
splendid organization you have got in
the National Association of Manufac !
turers can easily put those people out |
of business |
In July 1906, Mulhall began to write
and receive letters about campaigns |
in Pennsylvania congressional dis
tricts, and he wrote to Cushing:
ut might be of some interest to
you to show you what the Gompers
people are doing in this state. They
have nominated President Thomas D. |
Nichols for the tenth congressional
district of Pennsylvania on the Dem
ocratic ticket and | should predict
now that unless there is very good
work done in that district we will
have red hot agtator in the next
congress There are about 10000
miners in that district and Nichols is
their ideal. Besides, John Mitchell is
pledged to come into that district and
work for the Democratic ticket.
81 hope Mr., Sherman and the Re
publican congressional committee will
get busy in the near future
Null 1bal hn
