110 UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES the Indiana Manufacturers Association, the Towa Manufacturers Association, the Associated Industries of Kansas, the Associated In- dustries of Kentucky, the Louisiana Manufacturers Association, the Associated Industries of Maine, the Associated Industries of Massa- chusetts, the Michigan Manufacturers Association, Minnesota Em- ployers Association, Associated Industries of Missouri, Associated Industries of Montana, Nebraska Manufacturers Association, New Hampshire Manufacturers Association, Ohio Manufacturers Associa- tion, Associated Industries of Oklahoma, Manufacturers and Mer- chants Association of Portland, Oreg., Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association, Associated Industries of Rhode Island; Merchants, Man- ufacturers and Employers Association of South Dakota; Tennessee Manufacturers Association, the Utah Associated Industries, Asso- ciated Industries of Vermont, Virginia Manufacturers Association; the Federal Industries of Washington, State of Washington; West Virginia Manufacturers Association, Wisconsin Manufacturers Asso- ciation, Wyoming Manufacturers Association. Mr. CeriEr. Are those organizations members of the National Manufacturers Association? Mr. Emery. They are not members ; they are in cooperation with the National Association of Manufacturers. Mr. Cerrer. Did they adopt each specific resolution in favor of these Senate bills or against these Senate bills? Mr. Emery. They adopted at a conference held in New York in May an expression of their opposition to S. 3060 and their general approval of S. 3059 and 3061. Mr. CeLLER.

The remainder represented associations that have since expressed their views on this subject and requested to join in cooperation in opposi- tion to this bill. Mr. Cerrer. How many representatives of each of those organiza~ tions represented at that conference were actually present? Mr. Emery. The president or the secretary of each organization, but in each case the expression I have here represents the action of the association or its board of directors before or since that time. Mr. Cerrer. Have you a blanket power of attorney from those various organizations? Mr. Emery. I have not. I have no power to represent them in reference to any matter upon which they have not expressed their own position through their own organization.

If I were to consider the proposal merely from a selfish standpoint, the producers of American manufactures would have the keenest interest in the preservation of the consuming power of the employees in the manufacturing industries, and that extends to all of the forms of employment. They have the profundest sympathy with this situation, and I would be unjust to them, and I would not fully represent their sentiments if I were not authorized
