ported to have been for many years
the active "field ugent" and lobbyist
of the National Association ot Manu
facturere
The subpena was ordered by Chair
man Overman, of the lobby commit
tew, after representations had been
made to htm that Mr. Mulhall was
willing aud able lo give ihe committee
important facts regarding attempts to
Influence legislation.
Tha nature and exteut ot the dis
closures that are expected were out
lined in an article published, unl r
tbe aworn signature of Mr. Mulhall, In
tha New York World and tbe Chicago

Mauufacturera. It apecifled employee
of congress who had beeu retained to

Notwithstanding tha efforts of aev
eral western democrats to Induce the
caucus to place on tha free list all
woolen cloths, clothing, blankuts, and
otto r manufactures of wool, an over
whelming majority stood out against
this amendment and defeated It.
The western senators urged that. In
asmuch as raw wool la placed ou the
fre Hat, It would be ouly fair to the
woolgrowers and the public generally
to place on tbe free liat tha manufac
tures of wool, which would really ben
aflt the consumer much more than
free raw wool.
The committee insisted that if man
ufactures of wool were placed on the
free list there would be a large deficit
in the treasury, aud for this reason
tbe committee and tbe caucus would
not accept tbe proposed amendment
