Plumbing and Heating Materials Control: Urgent Call for Decontrol, 1946-11-13

Item — Box: 6, Folder: 20

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_6_20_0040

Scope and Contents

The National Association of Master Plumbers is urging Congressman Schwabe to support their demand for complete decontrol of the construction industry, specifically in regards to building materials. They argue that current controls are causing delays in building projects, including homes for veterans, and are preventing necessary repairs and maintenance. They believe that removing these controls will allow the construction industry to operate more efficiently and effectively. They also criticize government subsidies and priorities given to prefabricated house manufacturers, arguing that established manufacturers are willing to compete in a free market without subsidies.
