Penrose Visited by 175 Lobbyists in Washington Hearing
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania testified before the Senate judiciary subcommittee that 175 men visited him since January 1 to discuss the tariff bill. Others, including McLean, Dillingham, Pall, and Mall, listed callers but denied lobbyist status. The hearing noted floods of identical letters from sugar and insurance interests as a major nuisance and suggested most lobbyists represent manufacturing or importing interests, not consumers.
