![["The document from Mr. Morrison to Congressman Schwabe expresses the belief that the National Labor Relations Act and the Office of Price Administration are responsible for the current national ills, leading to labor-management conflicts and limiting production. Mr. Morrison suggests that repealing these acts would help alleviate the chaotic conditions. Congressman Schwabe agrees with this assessment, attributing these issues to the New Deal Administration's policies of appeasement and lack of sound foreign or domestic policy. He believes that the public interest is being overshadowed by the minority of labor and management. Schwabe appreciates Morrison's input and is inspired to continue fighting against these issues."]](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_5_78_0000-Labor,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_78_0011_thumbnail.jpg "National Labor Relations Act and OPA: A Call for Change")
