![["The document from the Brown-Dunkin Dry Goods Company expresses strong opposition to House Bill #2232, the Fair Employment Practice Act, stating that it would be difficult to administer and enforce and would lead to more racketeering and blackmailing in America. The company believes that passing the bill would add to the burdens already carried by businesses and industry and calls for the government to return control to the elected representatives of the people. The company fears that the bill would open employers up to prosecution by disgruntled job applicants and employees and warns that unless the legislation is stopped, the American system of competitive free enterprise will be irreparably damaged. Congressman George Schwabe responds to the letter, indicating that he agrees with the company's stance and will vote against the proposed legislation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/Fair%20Employment%20Practices,%201945-CAC_CC_047_1_5_13_0000/thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_13_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence between Brown-Dunkin Dry Goods Company and Congressman George B.
