Merchant Marine Mothers Club Advocates for Fair Compensation for Merchant Seamen, 1944-04-01 - 1944-04-01

The document is a letter from the Merchant Marine Mothers Club to Hon. George B. Schwabe, expressing support for bill H.R. 2346 which provides benefits for merchant seamen. The letter highlights the challenges faced by young seamen and emphasizes the need for educational opportunities, hospitalization, disability benefits, and employment preference for returning seamen. The letter also compares the benefits of merchant seamen to those of Navy men and urges support for the legislation. Additionally, there are two letters from individual merchant seamen requesting support for bills that would provide them with benefits such as unemployment insurance and healthcare.
