![["The document discusses the situation in the Tri-state mining district, where mines shut down after the OPA subsidies were cut off. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation could pay these subsidies, but the government has not authorized them to do so. The document also mentions the history of tariffs on lead and zinc, which are now largely outmoded. The writer defends his vote against OPA and argues that subsidies should be cut off, as they are paid out of borrowed money from the people."]](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_6_25_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_25_0053_thumbnail.jpg "The Impact of OPA's Demise on the Tri-State Mining District")

Schwabe expresses support for the decontrol of dairy products, stating that prices have increased to cover the loss of subsidy and everything is going well. They urge the Congressman to continue supporting decontrol, as returning to control would discourage milk production. Representative Schwabe responds positively, agreeing that supply and demand will work to the satisfaction of the public and expressing support for free enterprise and competitive business operations. He also mentions that others in the dairy industry in his district share the same thinking."]](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_6_26_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_26_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Supporting Decontrol of Dairy Products: A Letter from Producers Dairy, Inc. to Representative George B.

The sender, George Schwabe, is against reviving the OPA in its previous form and believes that allowing businesses to operate freely will benefit the country. The document also includes a telegram from Barney Stewart Jr., urging Schwabe to vote to send the existing OPA bill as passed by the Senate directly to the President. Stewart argues that businesses have been operating fairly since the OPA expired and that allowing industries to make legitimate profits will benefit the country."]](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_6_26_0000-Price%20Controls,%201946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_26_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Over OPA Revival: A Letter Exchange")
