1945 Letter from Arme Flour Mills Co. Expressing Concern About Proposed Unemployment Compensation for War Workers, 1945-06-07

The document is a letter expressing opposition to a proposed $25 per week contribution to war workers who may be out of employment. The author believes that able-bodied individuals who want to work can find employment, and it is not in line with American principles to provide unearned compensation. The author also argues that the government is already in debt due to the war and that paying individuals to not work would be unnecessary. Additionally, the author mentions that a large portion of the milling industry is understaffed and that individuals should be willing to accept jobs they were previously eager to obtain. The letter urges the recipient to oppose the proposed program.
