I will ask the members of the committee to wait for a few minutes for an executive session. Senator WAGNER. The committee hopes to conclude the hearing to-day, I understand. The Cuarrman. We are here and have permission to sit during the day, so that we are at your service, Senator. Senator WaaNER. I want to say to the committee I have some witnesses who, I am sure, will interest all of you, who have a very sechnical knowledge of this whole subject, and 1 hope the committee will assemble so that they may be heard. i Mr. Emery. Mr. Chairman, of course representing a very con- siderable criticism of the measure from employers of substantially between two and a half millions and three millions of men, we are anxious to have the first opportunity we have had, during the course of this discussion, to present our views on this bill. We had no such opportunity in the subcommittee on the Senate side and, while we are at the convenience and service of the committee, if the com- mittee is to sit only to-day, we would like to be assured we will have a fair opportunity to present those criticisms during the course of the committee's sitting. The CrairMAN. You will have a full opportunity. "The committee thereupon took a recess until 1.30 o’clock p. m.)

Mr. Chairman, may I present Dr. Samuel Joseph, professor of economics of the city of New York, who desires to present a petition on behalf of many economists who have studied this question and who approve this legislation. STATEMENT OF DR. SAMUEL JOSEPH, COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK Dr. SamueL Josepr. Mr. Chairman and members of the House Judiciary Committee, it seems as if it were a coincidence, in con- nection with Doctor Atkinson’s petition presented this morning, to learn that at the very same time a body of whose existence we were unaware was circulating this petition, another group of persons was representing the same situation and presenting a somewhat similar petition in the City of New York. It certainly looked like a case of roincidence. The Cuairman. Or mental telepathy? Doctor Josep. Probably. This certainly shows-how much people think alike. This particular group was different in that they were men and women engaged in social problems and in the economic aspects of labor employment questions. The members of the committee were principally chosen for their expert knowledge in this field and interest in the situation; and they consisted of: David C. Adie; John B. Andrews; Paul F. Brissenden; Robert E. Chaddock; Joseph P. Chamberlain; Edward T. Devine; John A. Fitch; Mary B. Gilson; Shelby M. Harrison; Samuel A. Lewisohn: Thomas I. Parkinson; Harlow S. Person; Henry R.
