Metric Urgers Launch Nationwide Campaign. With the approach of the new session of Congress advocates of decimal metric weights and measures for the United States have organized for an energetic campaign. Hon. Fred A. Britten of Illinois has announced that he will introduce a liberal Metric Standards Bill in the House of Repre- sentatives on the very 6rst day of the new session.

At its recent convention a t Lake Placid, the Metric Association outlined olans for greatly increased activity. The All-America Standards Council is also urging prompt legislative action by Congress, establishing the decimal metric units for general use in merchandising throughoui the United states after 1935. Its executives &ounce that metric standardization is urged by Thomas A. Edison, John Hays Hammond, Samuel Vauclain, John J. Pershing, Theodore Roosedt , Franklin D. Roosevelt, Arthur Capper, E. N. Hnrley, William G. McAdoo, Roger Babson, and many otherseminentinnational affairs.

Led by such influential groups as the New Odeans Association of Commerce and the Washington Manufacturers Association, mare than 3 W important chamhers of com- merce and industrial organizations are urgingliberal metric legislation.

Among other important organizations advocating the metric adoption are the National Wholesale Grocers Association, American Chemical Society, National Whale- sale Dnxaists Association. Associated General Contractors of America.
