Staff Only

The Bartlett-Collins Company is expressing concern to George Schwabe about the Hook & Pepper Bills, which would give the Wages and Hours Administrator the power to set minimum wages and skill classifications for workers, potentially making them the most powerful person in the United States. They believe this would be harmful to American industry and welfare, as it could allow for wage setting without employer approval. They urge Schwabe to consider the impact of these bills seriously.
