Correspondence Regarding Opposition to the President's Deferred Labor Plan, 1945-09-04

The document is a letter expressing opposition to a proposed bill that would guarantee $25.00 per week to unemployed citizens for a period of 26 weeks. The writer, who owns farms, argues that this bill would make it difficult for farmers to find workers as many unemployed individuals would prefer to receive government assistance without having to work. The writer urges members of Congress to consider the impact of the bill on the farm labor situation and to work against its passing.
