Mr. O'NEILL. It is not a vote of associations because we do not believe association votes represent much. These are men who paid their fare to come to Washington to consider this legislation, and we made three trips.

I was advised, however, by Mr. Eastwood, of the Michigan Coal Operators Association, that they wished to join with our conference in support of this measure.

We held three meetings and decided that to stabilize hours, wages, and working conditions, we had to have legislation that would stabilize prices. We believed that the legislation should not continue beyond a period of 4 years, because we consider it to be more or less of an experiment.

On June 7, at our final meeting, the conference ratified title II, which was just discussed by Judge Warrum.

I could go ahead and give you some practical reasons why we believe this legislation is essential. The committee has been advised of the conditions obtaining in the industry by many volumes of record that have been put in here, but if you wish to conserve time
