1945 Letter Opposing The Fair Employment Practice Act, 1945-05-17

Joe Briscoe, the District Manager for the Chickasha Cotton Oil Company in Hobart, Oklahoma, is writing to Hon. Geo. Schwabe regarding the Fair Employment Practice Act (HR-2232), which he believes is un-American and restricts employers' rights to hire based on loyalty, ability, and integrity. Briscoe argues that the bill is unnecessary and goes against the traditional American system of free enterprise. He expresses his personal opposition to the bill, separate from the views of his company.
