Of the general adoption of the metro

the committee announced they had
received many letters from constltu-
ents who. are opposed to the reSolu-
tion.
Mr.. Roberts insisted supporters OF
the resolution have no desire to over
throw the present system OF weights

ed nine years would prove ample to
effect the necessary changes in IN
dustry gradually.
Senator Couzens asked the witness
IL he had estimated what it would cost
American industry to make the
change. Mr.. Roberts answered that
estimates of the cost would not mean
much. He said it could be argued that
the change would require heavy out
Law of money, and that it also could
be shown that to continue to use the
present system would entail heavy
expense.
In seeking to show the need for a
universal Standardization of weights
and measures. Mr.. Roberts said the
inch and the yard were not the same
in the English and the American sys'
TENS. Pressed by Senators Bingham
and Willis for an explanation of the
difference, Mr.. Roberts admitted 1t
was not sufficient to be visible. but
. that 1t existed.
Senator Bingham observed that the
