Fourth, overburdensome work assignments.

That the work assignments in the wool-textile industry are excessive has not been shown. In fact, the report of the wool-textile work assignment board which was appointed by the President on December 1, 1934, indicated that those who have persistently raised the question, instead of being disturbed at the task assigned, "were thinking mainly in terms of the reemployment possibilities in reducing machine assignments to some assignment customary in the past. The report of the Wool Textile Assignment Board, to which later reference will be made is also attached.
