Washington Plans to Use NAM in Campaigns
Senate lobby committee heard M M Mulhall outline how the National Association of Manufacturers would guide campaigns for Congress and influence presidential campaigns. President Wilson summoned Ambassador Wilson from Mexico City to Washington amid worsening Mexican unrest. The U S replied to Japan on California anti alien land law via Secretary Bryan while withholding publication. Pacific Light and Power won a massive Sierra National Forest permit to transmit 150000 volts 240 miles to Los Angeles. Bryan said lectures earn him no savings though they may aid public good. Eastern rail strike threat eased by Newlands Erdman bill expanding arbitration. George Fairchild denied Mulhall charges as the first witness before the lobby committee.
