130 UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES Mrs. Daniey. I know they have been studied. I know that, Mr Michener. I wish to file this statement of the action of the Detroi convention. (The paper referred to follows) Youna WoMEN’s CHRISTIAN Association, New York, N. Y., June 9 1930. Hon. Georer S. GRAHAM, Chairman Committee on the J udiciary, House Office Building, Washington, D. C. Drag Sir: The Young Women’s Christian Association has within its member- ship hundreds of girls and women who are working in business and industry They have been so directly affected by the unemployment situation that some- thing over two years ago the national assemblies of these two groups asked the whole association to study the unemployment situation with a view toward helping promote measures that might aid in stabilizing employment. This has been done by local associations and by the national board. Local assoeiations have also cooperated with other agencies in efforts to improve local situations and alleviate the hardship of those affected by the situation. Our employment bureaus are still crowded with women and girls who are out of work. Our secretaries and local committees report serious and widespread distress both within our membership and among other groups in various ‘commu- nities. The national convention of the Young Women's Christian Association on April 28, 1930, indorsed the three bills on unemployment then hefore the Senate, S. 3059, 8. 3060, and 8. 3061, and urged their passage. We believe that the purpose of the two now before your committee, S. 3059 for the promotion of long-range planning of public works, and S. 3060 relating to employment bureaus, will aid in relieving the situation. We earnestly hope that your committee will report these bills favorably and that the members of your committee will do everything possible to secure consideration by the House as soon as possible. Verv truly vours. Mary N. B. FrencH, Chatrman Executive Commitee. The Cuairman. The committee stands adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

I referred to two statements yesterday of President Coolidge, which I did not happen to have with me, and with the Chair's permission, I would like to read them into the record. They are very short.
