EXHIBIT A.-CLASSIFICATION OF AUTOMOTIVE EMPLOYEES At the request of a representative of the House Committee Investigating National Defense Migration, an attempt was made to analyze and classify employees as outlined below. It was found, however, that the preparation of these questionnaires was a very great task and consequently only a minority of manufacturers employing a minority of the total of over 200,000 employees were able to reply. However, from the replies received, the following information was gathered which may be typical of the entire industry. The analysis made consisted of 3 groups of 15,000 employees in each group, employed by 8 different manufacturers. One group of employees was employed in the city of Detroit, one group in the State of Michigan outside of Detroit and one group outside of the State of Michigan. Results from partial returns as above indicated show employed in defense industries 25 percent in the city of Detroit, 33 percent in the State of Michigan outside of Detroit and 38 percent in the plants reported outside of Michigan. From the same group of employees it was found that those employed from the city in which the manufacturing plant is located indicate 41 percent from Detroit, 90 percent from Michigan cities outside of Detroit and 98 percent by plants outside of the State of Michigan. The reply to question as to how many employees were employed from the State, but not from the city, in which the plant is located, showed 43 percent in Detroit plants, 71⁄2 percent in Michigan plants outside of Detroit and 1 percent outside of Michigan. In other words, 84 percent of the group of Detroit employees came from the State of Michigan; 971⁄2 percent of the employees outside of the city of Detroit came from the State of Michigan and 99 percent of the employes employed in plants outside of the State of Michigan came from the State in which the plant employing them is located. EXHIBIT B.-SAMPLE OF NOTICE AND EMPLOYMENT QUESTIONNAIRE SENT OUT TO FACTORIES BY AUTOMOTIVE PARTS AND EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS, INC. TO MEMBERS: A congressional committee (headed by Representative John H. Tolan of California) will hold public hearings in Detroit on September 24 and 25 on the question of migratory workers and what to do about thein. Preliminary to the meeting, the committee is asking the cooperation of a few factories in procuring a record of present employment, to show as far as possible where the workers came from, and how long they stayed on the job. We have agreed to assist in this effort, and are sending out the enclosed questionnaire to you with the hope that you can return it filled in without too much trouble. 料 If some of the answers are not readily available, will you please give us those that are? Your employment records in many cases will provide the data-or enough to give us a start. We can be of quite valuable assistance in this survey, and we hope to avoid more than routine hearings by getting much of the information in advance. Sincerely, FRANK RISING, General Manager. P. S.-Two copies of questionnaire attached-one to be filled in and returned to Automotive Parts and Equipment Manufacturers; the other for your files. QUESTIONNAIRE ON MIGRATION OF WORKERS 1.
