R.

The Honorable Albert Carter

Washington, D. C.

Dear sir:

November 22, 1929

'At a meeting of the Oakland Lumbermen's Club attended by nearly one hundred representative members, the action of President Herbert Hoover in calling a meeting of business interests to coordinate and stimulate American commercial, industrial and building activities, was unanimously endorsed. The representatives at this meeting employ well over a thousand men directly interested in the building business.

IJnquestionably building and other legitimate activities have lagged behind because they cannot compete in the money market with speculative demands.

As an appointed Committee we were requested to say, that as our representative in Congress, we hope you can support the Administrative Department in this movement.

Sincerely yours,

HOO HOO CLUB COMMITTEE

Ray B. Cox, Chairman

Chas. S. Lamb
