At the hearings, AFL Pres. William Green and CIO Pres. Philip Murray were scheduled to speak on behalf of the nation's substandard workers. Both the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers and the Chamber of Commerce, prior to the postponement, declined to appear before the subcommittee saying they "were too busy at this time to appear."
