R Stafford Edwards, president of the National Electrical Manufacturing Association, told the Senate Labor Committee that secondary boycotts by unions have raised costs of electrical fixtures by as much as 500 percent.

Edwards cited 12 years during which many manufacturers faced exclusion or strict terms set by the IBEW, and noted no concealment of the policy since a Supreme Court ruling deemed it permissible.
