Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_77_0014

Scope and Contents

The letter from George B. Schwabe expresses support for not making changes to the current law on fair labor standards, as any changes could have negative consequences. He mentions the influence of the New Deal majority in Congress and expresses concern about the potential for more socialistic and communistic laws. He states that changes should only be made after fair consideration of both management and labor. The telegram from the Retail Merchants Association urges Schwabe to vote to leave the coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act as it is and not change the language of retail exemptions.
