![["The document is a letter expressing opposition to a proposed $25 per week contribution to war workers who may be out of employment. The author believes that able-bodied individuals who want to work can find employment, and it is not in line with American principles to provide unearned compensation. The author also argues that the government is already in debt due to the war and that paying individuals to not work would be unnecessary. Additionally, the author mentions that a large portion of the milling industry is understaffed and that individuals should be willing to accept jobs they were previously eager to obtain. The document urges the recipient to oppose the proposed program."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_7_12_0000-Unemployment,%201945/CAC_CC_047_1_7_12_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_12_0018_thumbnail.jpg "1945 Letter from Arme Flour Mills Co.

![["The document from Joe C. Scott, President of the State Board of Agriculture in Oklahoma City, to Congressman George Schwabe raises concerns about the reduction of sugar quotas for industrial users, particularly affecting the dairy industry in Oklahoma during peak milk production. Scott emphasizes the need for sufficient sugar for ice cream manufacturers to utilize surplus milk and prevent waste. Congressman Schwabe requests the Office of Price Administration to relax sugar restrictions, but the response from the OPA indicates that quotas have been increased in some counties due to population growth, but may not effectively address the situation. The OPA explains the need for sugar reductions due to shortages and encloses a statement on the issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_51_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_51_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Sugar Quota Relief for Dairy Industry in Oklahoma")

He believes that the regulation has become the minimum price for cars regardless of make, quality, or condition. Dealers are experiencing a drop in sales and are afraid of the trade-in allowance clause in the regulation. Mr. Welch requests the immediate repeal of MPR 540.
