Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_11_0001
The letter is from George B. Schwabe, a congressman, in response to a telegram from Paul Jankowsky regarding opposition to the Fair Employment Practice Act (H.R. 2232). Schwabe expresses his opposition to the bill and refusal to sign a petition to bring it to the floor, stating that he will not support it in any form. Jankowsky urges Schwabe to do everything he can to defeat the bill, arguing that it goes against the traditional American system of free enterprise and deprives employers of their right to choose employees. The letter emphasizes the importance of defeating the bill to prevent un-American proposals and create unity.
