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.

ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS OF THE UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA—Resumed 
Mr. Emery. Yes, Mr. Chairman. 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. 
The Crarrman. Very well. 
Mr. Emery. The first is from the address of President Coolidge to 
the business organization of the Government, on June 22, 1925
