The text includes two letters expressing opposition to the proposal of compulsory labor by the President. The first letter from George B. Schwabe, M.C. agrees with the recipient's protest and shares speeches made in Congress supporting labor's position on the issue. The second letter from the Tulsa Photo-Engravers Union strongly opposes compulsory labor, citing the Thirteenth Amendment and stating that any office holder who violates the Constitution may be subject to impeachment. Both letters express a commitment to fighting against any efforts to force the working class into industrial slavery.
