TRUST COMBINE
Slush Fund in Penna.
Well Distributed

WASHINGTON, May 4.-When
Walter Johnson, of the Philadelphia
Electric Co., was directing the battle
of the electric power combine in the
Pennsylvania legislature in the years
l924-27, he employed long list of
lawyers" These men came from
many sections of the state, but they
had one common qualifications they
had wide acquaintance a nong
members Of the legislature. they
received large sums for Legislative
work" This work was the defeat Of
the 10 hills involved in the Giant
Power plan of public control of the
Industry In the course of his work,
which began iii 1922, Johnson paid
out $25G0c in cash without keeping
scrap of memoranda as to who got
the money, or in what sums, or for
what services if any. This was their
| blind payments fund.
Johnson testified to this before
Commissioner McCulloch in the Fed
eral Trade Commissions investiga-
ton of the activities of the power
trust. He spoke bluntly and force
fully of the payments which Walter
Long, treasurer of the public policy
committee of the Pennsylvania Elec-
trio Assn, Of which johnson was
chairman, had testified he had made
to individuals employed by Johnson.
He was proud of his work
When chief counsel Healy asked
about one cash payment by Johnson
of $500, at the end Of the legislative
session, Johnson replied that he real
ly didn't remember what that money
went for, but it probably was ga
cleanup payment.
"Who cleaned up?" demanded
Healy, sharply.
Support" to the Press.
Johnson protested that all his sec
ret payments to persons whose names
and business he "really could not re-
member, were honorable and law
ful'.
McCulloch expressed surprise that
Johnson, former president of the
National Electric Light Association
could not remember the name or the
character of service done by even one
of the men who got this $4,000.
Charles Penrose of the Pennsylva-
MIA Bankers Association, nephew
of the late Senator Penrose, appeared
as helping to whip the national banks
and trust companies into line to bring
pressure on the legislature. Penrose
also wrote a pamphlet which was
circulated by Johnson's committee.
Minutes of the meeting of john
sons committee on Oct. 20, 1927,
2 showed that Mckenzie urged gen
eral placing of advertising in the
newspapers. because the electric COM
panies could not expect support from
the press unless they supported the
press.
