Item — Box: 5, Folder: 63

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_63_0011

Scope and Contents

The letter is a correspondence between George B. Schwabe and W. B. Blair discussing the political situation, labor difficulties, and a proposed labor program. Blair suggests amending labor laws to set up an arbitration board to resolve strikes, with the president having authority to suspend strikes until the board acts. The board's decision would be binding on both sides, with penalties for noncompliance. Blair acknowledges that enacting such a program may be difficult due to opposition from unions and industry. Blair also discusses potential political opponents for Schwabe's congressional seat and offers to keep him informed of any important political news.
