favor of these bills and hopes that you will give them your serious 
consideration, with a view of reporting them to the House. 
Senator WaeNER. Mr. Chairman, may I just ask your indulgence 
for a bit—a second? Mrs. Danley is here, and I neglected to introduce 
her. She does not want but a moment’s time to present a communi- 
cation from the Young Women’s Christian Association of the United 
States in favor of this legislation. 
STATEMENT OF MRS. E. E. DANLEY, REPRESENTING THE NA- 
TIONAL BOARD OF THE YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSO- 
CIATION 
Mrs. Daxtey. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, 1 represent the 
National Board of Young Women’s Christian Association, and I want 
to file this statement which tells you that the Young Women’s Chris- 
tian Association at the national convention in Detroit in April indorsed 
the three bills on unemplovment then before the Senate, 3059, 3060, 
and 3061. 
I want to say also that the Young Women’s Christian Association 
has been for two years, in over 400 organizations, studying unemploy- 
ment locally and nationally, and this action is not from just last- 
minute urging but comes because there has been a study made of the 
question. 
Mr. MicaeENER. You believe in the principle, but have you given 
ny definite consideration to the specific terms of these bills? 
Mrs. DanteY. These bills have been discussed, yes, in I do not 
know how many local organizations. 
Mr. MicaeNer. But at the Detroit meeting was any consideration 
given to the workability of these specific bills, or were you just in 
favor of any principle that would help the situation? 
_ Murs. Daniey. Those bills were studied at Detroit, as I understand 
it. TI was not at Detroit and I am speaking for Miss Eastman. But 
these bills have been studied, and as I said, they indorsed the bills. 
Mr. MicueNer. For instance, I presume every member of this 
committee, possibly—I know 1 have—has received two or three 
hundred letters from Young Women’s Christian Association secre- 
taries all over the United States, indorsing these three bills. I have 
written to some of them and sent them copies of the bills and asked 
them about certain things and I find that they do not know anything 
about the bills; they just got word that this was a good thing and they 
write in in support of it. Now, I want to know if you have simply 
gotten word that this is a good thing, or whether you know what you 
are talking about when you indorse these three specific bills? 
Mrs. DanLeY. Well, those three bills have been studied I am very 
certain. 
The Crairman. By you? 
Mrs. Danvey. I am speaking for Miss Eastman, who does know 
more about it. But they have been definitely studied. That was 
probably particular individual cases, because we do not hand down 
things without study beforehand. Our convention does not decide 
on anything without study, and these bills have been studied by local 
organizations. I know that for certain. 
Mr. MicaENER. I am glad to know that.
