![["The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce supports the Fair Employment Practice Act, which aims to eliminate discrimination in employment based on race, creed, color, national origin, or ancestry. However, the Chamber has concerns about the method proposed for enforcing the act, which involves creating a new Federal bureau and giving it extensive powers to investigate and enforce compliance. The Chamber believes that this approach could lead to potential abuse, lawsuits, and blackmailing.
