The letter from Gardner Canning Company to Hon. George Schwabe opposes the "Pepper Bill," which seeks to amend the Wage & Hour Law and repeal exemptions from overtime. The company argues that as a canning business, they need to work around the clock during peak season to prevent waste of perishable goods. They request Schwabe's support in maintaining the current exemptions to avoid financial hardship on canners. Schwabe responds that he is not familiar with the bill but appreciates the company's arguments and will consider them when the bill comes for a vote.
