The subcommittee met pursuant to notice at 10 a. m. in the American Legion Home, Central Avenue, Hon. Paul H. Douglas presiding. Present: Senator Douglas. Also present: Roy E. James, minority staff director; Harold D. Brown, assistant to Senator Douglas; and Harold Rainville, assistant to Senator Dirksen. Senator DOUGLAS.

There are some people who feel that we should not go into these matters at all, who say that there is no excessive unemployment in any portion of the country, that conditions are getting better, and that one should not hold hearings, lest it make people more discontented than the situation justifies. We come here with no preconceived idea about the facts. We have studied the reports of the United States Department of Labor, and we received many letters from the people in this area. If conditions are excellent, and no action is needed, we want to know that. If contions are not good, and if there is excessive unemployment, we want to know that. Our first purpose is to find out the actual facts. Our second purpose is to get judgment as to whether the bill S. 2663 is a |
