Correspondence regarding Opposition to the Fair Employment Practice Act of 1945, 1945-05-17

The document includes a letter from George B. Schwabe expressing his disapproval of the Fair Employment Practice Act, H.R. 2232, and stating that he cannot support it in its present form. The letter also acknowledges the importance of hearing constituents' views on controversial issues. In response, Charles G. Webb writes a letter urging Schwabe to oppose the bill, arguing that it would limit employers' ability to select qualified employees and could lead to unjust accusations of discrimination. Webb believes that the proposed law would undermine American democracy and create more problems than it aims to solve.
