Senate Lobby Hearings Highlight Na tional Association of Manufacturers Ties
Washington reports recount Col Martin Michael Mulhall’s testimony on the National Association of Manufacturers and a probe into labor capital clashes and tariff policy. Senate lobby panel plans further appearances by Samuel Gompers and others as investigations expand into political influence and industry relations. The July crop outlook shows bountiful yields but total production will lag last year. An Interstate Commerce inquiry into New York Central operations was proposed, and David Lamar resumes testimony on motives behind his Lauterbach connections.

Fair Rate Wrangle and Iowa Railroads
An old statute found by A. R. Corey secretary of the state fair board could force Iowa railroads to honor excursion rates for the state fair or risk forfeiting land grants. The Rock Island and successors reportedly accepted grants with conditions binding them to tariff rules. The fair board cites a 1868 charter as the basis for enforcing the 2 cent a mile round trip rate during fair time.
