Correspondence Between Schwabe and Gardner Canning Company Regarding the Pepper Bill and Canning Industry Concerns, 1945-01-01 - 1946-12-31

The letter from Gardner Canning Company to George Schwabe expresses opposition to the proposed "Pepper Bill" which would amend the Wage & Hour Law and eliminate exemptions for overtime pay. The company argues that the canning industry requires working long hours during peak seasons and any changes to the law would negatively impact their business. They request Schwabe's support in maintaining the current exemptions. Schwabe responds, acknowledging the company's concerns and stating that he is inclined to vote against the bill. He expresses his commitment to protecting the canning industry and private enterprise.
