Cook said all kilograms bearing on

A. A. Arris, Fredericksburg sales
man for the company, said all tele-

of Arris, "that If the committee hadn't
gotten copies OF these kilograms from
the telegraph companies we could
never have gotten them?"

A. r. Thorson. corporate secretary
of the Crew-Levick Co., said he had
thrown in the waste basket" letters
and kilograms containing reports OF

ginia.
He said the employees were directed
to get in touch with stockholders
of Cities Service, but evidence intro.
duced by the committee showed thai
the solicitors canvassed relatives
friends and other persons.
Thorson said the employees were
supposed to do this work" outside
of working hours. -..-
After other representatives of thu
company had testified they had specifi,
instructions to get only letters against
the Wheeler bill, Thorson, who hae
been excluded from the room during
this testimony, insisted the campaign
was mot for or against the bill-just
to inform stockholders so they coule
use their own judgment"
Thorson estimated that the Crew.
Levick Co. had spent about $275 or
the campaign, not counting time Of the
employees.
All Papers, Reports Discarded.
He said he threw all papers and
reports In the waste basket immediate.

castically.
"Well. something like that. guess"
Employees Fought Measure.
Later in his testimony, Thorson
agreed with committee members that
employees of the Crew-Levick Co. had
worked vigorously against the bill.
Black reiterated that the committee
would have been without any infor-
