1945 Correspondence between Howard W. Allen and Congressman Schwabe Regarding H.R. 2788 Bill, 1945-07-18

The letter from Howard W. Allen to Congressman George B. Schwabe addresses a bill, H.R. 2788, which would establish a one-year statute of limitations for actions for damages brought under Federal statutes. Allen believes this bill would protect industries from "hidden bankruptcy" and urges Schwabe to approve it due to the uncertainties and confusion surrounding the question of hours of service for motor carrier employees. Allen emphasizes the importance of having a short and uniform period of limitations to protect against unjust demands.
