It bad rewards to bestow and pains to inflict, as Us correspondence now proves. In ltd finances It followed the methods of commercialised politics. ItWlleeted money from manufactur ers for various uses. Some of it went to fight labor unions, to bribe their leaders and to carry on costly litigations. Some of it was devoted to tha maintenance of a lobby in Washington. Some of it was used to re-elect frienda of the association to Congress and some of it to bring about the defeat of enemies.
