It begins:
The National Association of Manufacturers is taking a ballot of the
manufacturing and commercial interests of the country as to whether
they favor or oppose a bill now before Congress, providing for the
immediate adoption by the Government of the metric system of weights
and measures, and its adoption as the legal system in the United
States in 1907.
Cheers,
