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.
