Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_59_0008

Scope and Contents

The letter is from Cecil T. Hardeman, president of Hardeman Milling Company, expressing concerns about unions and strikes to Congressman George Schwabe. Hardeman is opposed to President Truman's proposed "Fact Finding Boards" as he believes it gives too much control to a political bureaucracy. He argues that unions have been aided by the government since 1933 and have caused economic crises through strikes. Hardeman believes that businesses should be able to operate without frequent strikes and that action needs to be taken to prevent unions from exerting too much control over industries.
