that he must vote for the gen.

Under date of July 20, Fletcher,
the grower, sent Arnold q letter
which said:
I'VE are taking your advice

believe me. We are going to have
a meeting In Miami this next
week and get up q long telegram

Continued from First Page)

(Contlnueu from FlISt dse'
State, with a "pick.handle, the old
fashioned hickory kind" into voting
for the tariff bill.
In letter to Arnold, Lorenzo A.
Wilson, manager of the Florida di,
vision, described Fletcher as a
traitor to tariff legislation like
the rest of the Democrats. He
thought better of Senator Tram
nell, the other Florida Senator,
whom he described as the best log
rolling politician in the Union.
Later G. S. Fletcher, head of the
Florida East Coast Growers Asso-
citation, boasted to Arnold that ne
would be able to deliver" Fletch,
er's vote because, no man ever had
a bigger fire built under him.
In the same letter he said:
"If things come to where they
are rocking up there, l will come
up and see my friend, Mr.. Hoover,
again, and make them all be good,
as am in receipt of a nice let
ter from the White House show
ing that / am still in line"
The letter revealed that Arnold
himself took leaf from the book
of the Manufacturers Association
of Connecticut, the employer OF
Charles L. Eyanson, which received
about $4,000 annually from the New
York, New Haven and Hartfor
railroad.
SOUGHT RAILROAD FUNDS
Arnold wrote to Fletcher of the
growers association that the South
ern railroads likewise should con-
tribute to their tariff.lobby activi-
ties. He denied knowledge of any
funds being received from that
source.
Senator Caraway Cd, COMMITTEES
chairman, reminded thu, witness that
he got fat contributions from rail.
roads several years ago while he
was ostensibly working for a farm
organization.
Arnold was a bit doubtful about
that until Caraway offered to read
his own testimony before another
Senate Judiciary subcommittee in
1919.
One letter revealed how Arnold
wrote Senator Watson suggesting
that he make a deal with the repre-
sentatives of farm organizations in
Washington. The suggested deal
was that Watson might help them
obtain a duty on vegetable oil and
long staple cotton if the farm lobby
lists would help line up Southern
Senators to vote for the entire bill.
When Arnold took the stand yes
terday morning, the comittee started
a thorough search into his tariff
lobbying, leaving aside his work
with, the. American Taxpayers League
and the other Hobbies with which
he is associated.
Although the committee gave
him q severe grilling and virtually
The Washington herald., 1929-11-02

accused him Of untruthfulness,
Arnold didn't seem to mind it in
the least. He retained his self
composure and laughed heartily at
his own explanations Of what the
letters meant.
The comittee first asked about
a letter Arnold wrote in which he
said the committee merely desired
to ask John H. Kirby, president
of the Southern Tariff Association,
few trick questions" Walsh
glowered at him for that, and again
when the letter called the lobby
investigation a police court" pro-
ceeding.
Seeking bigger game, the com.
mittee flashed letter which Arnold
wrote to Brown White. of San
Benito, Texas, In which the lobbyist
said he assured the committee" that
a permanent tariff sentiment would
be built up in the South II the
rates on Southern agricultural pro
ducts were included in the bill.
NEWS SOURCE PROBED
Arnold said the word "committee"
meant the general public and not
necessarily the Senate Finance Com
mittee. Senator Walsh sought to
find out where Arnold got all the
information about what took place
in the secret sessions of the Senate
Finance Committee ON rates, as dis
closed by his .etters.
Arnold insisted he got it from the
public press and wherever -~ he
could" Blaine replied
II warm YOU that you are under
oath and you may subject your
self to criminal prosecution"
Walsh asked Arnold how he got
the information that the two Texas
Senators had agreed in Democratic
caucus to vote against the tariff bill
no matter what 1t contained. Arnold
failed to remember. Walsh con-
tinued:
LET me remind you that per-
Jury consists in asserting to be o
fact what the witness does not
know to be fact, as well as tell
ing an untruth."
Walsh flashed a letter which
Arnold wrote to Chairman Smoot'
Of the Senate Finance Committee,
saying that Lorenzo Wilson and
other Florida growers wished to
discuss the matter of Southern rates
privately" before ,the committee.
Smoot replied that the hearings
were closed, but he would give vii.
son a personal interview. That
was on August g..
LETTER FLOOD URGED
The next letter was one from
Arnold to Fletcher, suggesting that
Florida growers flood Chairman
Smoot with 1000 or 1000 letters
asking higher rates on farm prod
ucts.

ers Of the censure move will fight

they have votes to spare to adopt

Norris told the Senate that the
facts on Bingham's conduct "are

explained why he consented to de-
lay the vote, saying:

full apology covering both Bing.

and his attack upon the com.
mittee."
BLAINE HITS LOBBYISTS
During the tariff debate on the
floor there was brief flare-up
over the lobby revelations.
Blaine (R.), of Wisconsin, a men,
Der of the Lobby Committee, de-
clared:
1.-THE trouble with this bill is
the Grundys and the EyansOns.
The rates on the principal Con-
necticut products come here dis
credited because of EyansOn's EN-
plOyment."
He said Senator Reed R), of
Pennsylvania, defender of the bill,
was "a sort of parrot" for Joseph G..
Grundy, the bigwig of the lobbyists.
In an exchange with Reed.
Wheeler Cd of Montana. asserted:
Senator Bingham's action in
the Finance Committee in putting
EyansOn on the payroll had q
worse influence on the country
than the communists.
To the pleas of his friends to
escape the stigma of a vote oe
censure by apologizing for his con.
duct, Bingham last night remained
obdurate, He told them he felt he
had nothing to apologize for.
