Concerns over Proposed Legislation Impacting Employment and Racial Tensions in Northern Industrial Cities, 1945-01-01 - 1946-12-31
Scope and Contents
The document argues against the enactment of legislation that addresses racial issues, particularly in northern industrial cities. It warns of potential racial disturbances and chaos in the workplace, and suggests that the increasing percentage of the Negro population outside of the Southern States may bring about similar problems seen in the South since the Civil War. The document also expresses concern about the potential for legalized blackmail and troublemaking if the legislation is passed. The author urges readers to prevent the enactment of this act.
