liMILHALL'S STORY OF LOBBYING TOLD "Field Worker" Gives Names and Dates Involved in Nation-Wide Scandal. CONGRESS ALLIES LISTED Activities of National Association of Manufacturers Extended Into Many Fields Ministers , Enlisted in Work. (Continued From First Paje.) nel Mulhall's whole remarkable story Is the summary of names, dates and places of actual happenings In connec tion with his long: service in the Inter ests of the manufacturers and in oppo sition to the labor unions. He tells how Van Cleave and his as sociates tried to bribe Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and how the plot failed be cause Gompers, suspecting trickery, had arranged to catch Van Cleave in a trap. The story of the attempted bribe was printed at the -time but the manufacturers always denied it. Colo nel Mulhalt, who says he arranged for a meeting bttween Van Cleave and Gompers, now swears that it is true. , One of the hardest struggles ever made by the association, according to the Mulhall testimony, was the at tempt to elect James E. Watson Gov ernor of Indiana. This was in the Fall of 1908. Watson, he says, had been useful as a Representative in Congress. There are many manufacturing indus tries in Indiana, and the supposition is that he cauld have been useful as Gov ernor of that state. He was close to the Taft Administration an ardent standpatter"': and until this exposure a probability as a candidate for Presi dent on the old Republican ticket in 191C. Watson lost the election on account of his temperance attitude. Although he played to the temperance people, Watson, Colonel Mulhall says, . never intended to carry out his temperance pledges. Then he relates the story of how, after one of his campaign speeches, Watson complained of being "dry." and of how he consumed six Manhattan cocktails within an hour, declaring afterward that they "tasted better than anything he had had for a long while." Tariff Commission Wanted. After his defeat Watson went back to Congress, the story goes, and there became active in having the Taft tariff commission appointed. This was some thing that the manufacturers' associa tion wanted, as they knew it would delay a tariff revision. While serving as a member, of Congress, Colonel Mul hall declares, Watson received $250 a week from the association as 'x penses" in working for. the tarlft com mission. Another illuminating paragraph Is that relating to how the association "went after" John J. Gardner, Repub lican Representative In Congress from the Second New Jersey district, and telling how Gardner "fell Into line" when he knew that-the combined in fluences of the association and the po litical bosses of his state were likely to beat him. About the time that he has things going against Gardner, Colo nel Mulhall had a meeting with Gard ner, t "I Intimated to Gardner," he says, "that he was too honest with the work ing people and not honest enough with the manufacturing interests. - "About three days later Gardner sent for me again and admitted that jQov ernor Fort, extGovernor Marphy, Judge Speer and Lewis and such men as they could beat him out, and wanted the fight stopped. . "From that time on Mr. Gardner did not press his labor measure to the front. In the Fall after the . ejection was over he allowed the lobby of the National Association of Manufacturers to suggest to him the gentleman they wished to have serve on- his sub-committees of the House labor committee and to pigeonhole the. labor bills and measures through these sub-committees that had been- offered before 1908 and all that came up at the regular ses sion of Congress in 1908 and 1909." Spying on Cookiui Sugcnted. The association was not inimical to all labor representatives, or at least to all those who called themselves labor representatives, in Congress..- The fol lowing paragraph by Colonel Mulhall explains this: . "I have been reluctant all through this story to bring- into it any of the so-called friends of labor, but -there Is a gentleman In Congress who boasts of being a great labor unionist. He has a union card in his pocket. He has been elected to Congress four terms by the labor vote, as he tells, it, but there has never been a lobbyist or a tool in Washington who is more sub servient to the trusts than Mr. -James T. McDermott, Congressman from the Fourth Illinois District (the stock yards district of Chicago). . "McDermott also suggested to me the advisability of having the chief page of the House, Mr. J. H. McMlchaeis, his confidential secretary, use the 75 odd pages upon the payroll of. the House to pick up any information of value on the floor of the House' which would be of any benefit to the inter ests of the manufacturers. He said these boys who were pages on the floor of the House would not be suspected If they were seen hanging, around where the Congressmen met lii private conversation, and that they could make themselves useful in the cloakroom of the House picking up Information which, would be useful . and which could not be got in any other way." Many Membcri Aconed. Among the other officials who re ceived fnanclal reward for services ren dered or for political purposes from the National Association of Manufacturers, according to the World story were:' Ex-Representative Jenkins (Repub lican), of the Eleventh Wisconsin Dis trict, chairman of the Judiciary com mittee of the House of Representatives, 1904-8: defeated for renomination In the latter year, when his campaign was openly financed by the lobby of the National Association of Manufacturers, and who received money through Col onel Mulhall, Its agent, and Edward Hines. of Larimer fame, during that campaign. Ex-Representatives Haskins (Re publican), of the First Vermont Dis trict; member of the labor committee; sent written acknowledgement ef money transmitted to him by wire dur ing his campaign for re-election In 1908. Ex-Representative Idttlefield, of Maine (Republican), chosen by Fresl dent Roosevelt to frame legislation to regulate the trusts; was In intimate touch with the officials and chief lob byists of the N. A. M. ; accepted aid hroiurh his campaign managers during his two last campaigns for Congress until he withdrew in the face of cer tain defeat; permitted the N. A. M to pay his hotel and traveling expenses when keeping- appointments with its officials and lobbyists. Ex-Representatives Bannon. of Ohio (Republican); acted as adviser of the N. A. M. lobby in the House of Rep resentatives and as secret agent; han dled money passing between the shoe manufacturers and disloyal strike lead ers in the shoe strike at Portsmouth, O.. in 1907; sought employment as lob byist for the N. A. M. upon retirement. - One Under Indictment. Ex-Representative Coudry, of Mis souri (Republican); acted as secret agent of the National Association ot Manufacturers in the House of Rep resentatives and accepted aid in cam paign for re-election; accused of pass ing bad checks at Washington; in dicted at St. Louis for fraudulent use of the malls: released on $10,000 ball after being sentenced to four years and six months in prison; now in New York City conducting an exchange business, J. H. McMlchaeis, chief of pages in the House of Representatives and prin cipal spy of the National Asoclation of Manufacturers on -the undertakings and movements of members; afterward transferred to attend door At the press gallery ef the House of Representa tives and now serving as elevator op erator in the Capitol. Ex-Representative Colo (Republi can), of the Eighth Ohio District, act ed as adviser and emissary of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers' lobby, which financed hjs campaign in 1908 at the. request of. James S. Sher man; rebuked by Lobbyist Emery for Joining movement against Cannonlsm in 1909 and promised to be good In the future. There are many men in National offi cial life, says Colonel Mulhall, . whom the association had, no difficulty in ap proaching, but who may have acted in perfect good faith in doing the bidding of the lobbyists. In this class he places the following: President Taft, Senator Lodge, the late Vice-President Sherman, ex-Senator Foraker, Senator Nelson, ex-Senator Hemenway. ex- Speaker Cannon, ex-Representative Dwight, Republican "whip" of the House from 1909 to 1911; ex-Representative Tawney, of Minnesota; ex Representative Bede, of Minnesota; Senator Stephenson, of Wisconsin;- ex Senator Aldrlch, of Rhode Island; Sen ator Townsend, of Michigan; benator Galllnger, of New Hampshire; Repre sentative Webb, of North Carolina; ex.

Opponeitt on "Blacklist." Besides these long llBts of "friendly'' or useful v pmciais tne association also maintained a "blacklist" of officials who were opposed to Its interests. It conducted a relentless warfare against those officials and against, labor lead ers. It financed the campaigns of candidates against them and sought to retire them from office. . This "black list" included the following: Representative Burnett,' of the Sev enth Alabama District (beaten In 1908 because he was too active on the" floor of Congress against bills favored by the National Association of Manufac turers, which organized an effective propaganda against him in his dis trict). Ex-Representative Maynard, of the Second West Virginia District (beaten for the same reason in 1908). Speaker Clark, of Missouri (unsuc cessfully opposed by every influence at the command of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers both in 1908 and 1910).

Besides, maintaining air active lobby at the National capital and in a gooa many state capitals the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, It seems, car ried on its work against those who were opposed to it by means even more subtle. - According to the New York World's Information the association, through its agents Mulhall and others suc cessfully conducted the campaign to break the strikes of the Job printers in 1905-6; 23,000 shoemakers at St. Louis in 1907; 10,000 hatmakers at Dan bury, Conn., and New Jersey points in 1909, and of 4000 shoemakers at Ports mouth, O., in 1907. These agents, says the story, planted spies in the labor unions with which the strikers 'were connected, corrupted minor - labor leaders, personally paid them sums of money which are set forth in the correspondence turned over to the World by Colonel Mulhall; en listed the support of clergymen to break the strike at Danbury and even sought to Influence Cardinal Gibbons, of Balti more, to compel a settlement favorable to the hatmakers through local clergy men. In carrying out this campaign Colonel Mulhall enlisted the assistance of Rev. H. C. Meserve, of the First Con gregational Church of Danbury, and of the Rev. Fathers Shanley and Ken nedy. In its strike-breaking undertak ing the association had the co-operation of many men high in the councils of the Republican party and a few In the Democratic party,, either by reason of political affiliation, friendly - sentiment, business prejudice or personal gain. Malhall Tells of Beginning. Colonel Mulhall's story of how he came to be engaged in his extraordi nary occupation is full of Interest. It follows: "My first active work for thfl Na tional Association of Manufacturers was the Tesult of an interview I had with Marshall Cushlng, its secretary, in the writing room of the Arlington Hotel in Vermont avenue, Washington, in the middle of November, 1902. "Cushlng outlined to me in a brief way at this meeting his work with the National Association of Manufacturers, and he stated that he would- like to have me aid them in the lobby work they were undertaking in Washington and Albany, N. Y. I made no. regular contract with Cushlng at this time. I informed him that I was manufacturing brushes, but agreed to assist him as he wished me to do, provided that I was to give him my spare time when not otherwise engaged. - "Cushlng at all times was very sec retive, and for the next four or five meetings I had with him between No vember and the 1st of January, 1903, he did not thoroughly Inform me of the nature of his lobby work outside of saying that he was building up an or ganization to oppose McComas' eight hour bill and labor measures of that stripe. About the 1st of January I ha-d a long Interview with Mr. Cush lng at the New Wlllard Hotel, Wash ington, and he mapped out for me a programme of work which he wished me to help him with. , "I . informed Mr. Cushlng at this meeting that I had built a very effect ive association in Maryland, called the Workingmen's Protective Association, and had done very effective work for the Republican party In the campaigns of 1900 -and 1902 and 1902 In Maryland. Cushlng suggested to me that he would meet the expenses of continuing this organization and to do everything I possibly could to increase its mem bership for the purpose of defeating Senator McComas for renomination and election in . 1904. With Cushlng's aid I built up a splendid organization -in Maryland under his instructions. Lobbying Done at Night. "For the period of time I was with Cushlng I learned that he did most of his lobby work at night, getting a cab and calling at the homes of members of the House and Senate. He at ell times Informed me that his principal advisers, outside of several secretaries or members he did business with, were Senator Proctor, of Vermont; Mr. Jos eph G. Cannon and Mr. James S. Sher man. I know he had frequent inter views with Senator Foraker, of Ohio, and James E. Watson, of Indiana, and other members of the House. "During the years 1903' and 1904 Mr. Cushlng became very active in Mary land politics and Impressed upon me the importance of defeating McComas fo' renomination and election to the Senate. During all this time Mr. Mc Comas Tefused to call off his Eight-, hour bill, and I had frequent inter views with McComas following the in structions of Cushlng, and frequently carrying from Cushing to McComas messages in- the shape of advice. "But McComas at all times refused to have any dealings with Cushing or the National Association of Manufacturers, and fought until the end of the cam paign in 1904. When Cushing found that McComas would not let up on his labor bills he frequently sent to my home address in Baltimore large bun dles of letters sealed, stamped and addressed to manufacturers throughout the State, and would have me mail these letters In Baltimore. Maryland Campaign Successful. "All through the Summer of 1904 I was 'actively engaged in campaign work in Maryland ana in helping to defeat Senator McComas "and to elect Representatives Frank Wachter, Sid ney E. Mudd and Charles Shearn, whom Cushlng wanted returned to Congress. This campaign in Maryland was completely successful, defeating McComas and electing the three above named gentlemen in the Third, Fourth and Fifth Districts of. Maryland. Among the letters which I have turned over for publication to the New York World is given a complete and detailed account of these campaigns. "I received many communications from Mr. Cushing for the work done in those years, he . telling me that it brought thousands of members to the National Association of Manufacturers, and he was very jubilant over the suc cess of the work in the State of Mary land. "From November, 1904,' to February, 1905, I took up another line of .field and organization work for Cushing in other states, and from- February, 1905, until July, 1906, I did but very little lobby work In - Washington. During the months of July, August and Sep. tember. 1906, I was engaged in the Lit tleneld campaign in the Second Dis trict of Maine, and for the latter part of September, October and November, 1906, 1 .was doing campaign work in the Seventh and Eighth New Jersey Districts, represented by Parker and Wiieyt ' ' - .. "After the New Jersey campaign was over In 1906 I took up active lobby work with Mr. Cushing in Washington, and all through the Winter of 1906 I had frequent meetings with Charles E. Littleneld, of the Second Maine Dis trict, who became the active champion of .the National Association - of Manu facturers against all labor bills offered by the labor unions in Washington RUPTURE IS CUREABLE Results Not Influenced by Age or Time Standing, Says Expert. Rupture is not a tear or breach in the abdominal wall, as commonly sup posed, but is the stretching or dilat ing of a natural opening, therefore subject to closure, said F. H. Seeley, on a late visit to Portland. "The Spermatic Shield Truss closes the opening in ten days on the aver age case, producing results without surgery or harmful injections." Mr. Seeley has documents from the Gov ernment, Washington, D. C., for in spection. Anyone interested will be shown the truss or fitted if desired.
