Lobbying clash halts Mulhall testimony before two committees
Washington July 12 continuing revelations of lobbying by the National Association of Manufacturers produced a clash of Senate and House authority. Mulhall, under subpoena, faced both panels as guards protected him and his papers. The Senate asserted prior rights and prepared to enforce its authority while the House eyed further action. Mulhall identified letters tying him to Marshall Cushing and the association, detailing payments and work in Washington since 1904. He said he joined labor efforts against McComas and Hughes, and acknowledged paid union card ties before cutting ties with labor groups in 1908. The two committees adjourned with ongoing dispute over representation and access to documents.
