TR hal favor and only 361% votes opposed to “a system of national em- ployment offices with due provision for cooperation with existing State and municipal systems.” (Report of the President’s Confer- ence on Unemployment, p. 84.) 1 The CHAlrMAN. What was the question submitted in the referen- um? Mr. AxprEws. I was quoting verbatim—‘‘a system of national employment offices with due provision for cooperation with existing State and municipal systems.” Mr. SumnErs. Right on that point, does this bill contemplate the organization indicated by that resolution, in your judgment? Mr. ANprEWS. Yes, I think it does. so far as it is possible to tell from the language. Mr. SumnERs. Do you regard this bill as setting up a scheme of cooperation, as distinguished from subordinating the States to Federal control? Mr. Axprews. The provisions for cooperation has always been to the forefront in all these discussions, and it has always been a Federal-State-aid proposition, if that is what you mean, and it was outlined in great detail by the 60 conferees who came from the different States in 1919. . Mr. SumnEeRrs. My question with reference to that point does not Indicate an antagonistic attitude on my part. Mr. Axprews. I understand. Mr. Sumners. I want that point pretty well cleared up. Mr. ANnpreEws. Yes. The Federal-State aid plan is specifically the basis of thls proposition laid down by these representatives of the governors from all over the country. Mr. Montacue. May I ask, is not this the first bill that has ever been introduced to effectuate those resolutions? Mr. AxprEws. It is not. Mr. Montacue. It is the first one to appear before this committee. Mr. AxprEws. There was a bill introduced in this House by our friend Congressman Nolan of California some years ago. Mr. Mo~TaGUE. But it, was not referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Axprews. I think that went to the Committee on Labor and was reported favorably. That was about 1919. It was introduced in the House by Congressman Nolan and on the Senate side at that time by Senator Kenyon, now Judge Kenyon of Towa. There is nothing new in the whole proposition. It is a well seasoned matter and has been discussed in all of its details for 15 years. On Monday of this week, June 9, the industrial relations committee of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce indorsed all three of these unemployment bills, including Senate 3060, the Federal-State aid proposal for the employment office system. I realize that Senator Bingham in his radio talk has referred to two or three details in the bill to which he takes exception, and those details are objected to by Mr. Emery of the National Association of Manufacturers. Particularly distressing to them is the provision for the gathering of information—and all that a public employment service can do is to collect and furnish information—in the gathering and dissemination of the information concerning opportunities for emplovment the
