![["The document consists of two letters, one from George B. Schwabe and the other from W. A. Schlueter, discussing the Fair Employment Practice Act (H.R. 2232) and expressing disapproval of the bill. Schwabe states that he will not sign a petition in support of the bill and is inclined to vote against it. Schlueter highlights that the bill is unfair to employers and employees, discriminates against fair labor and the Negro race, and gives excessive powers to the government. The document also includes a poem about life in Manila, Philippines."]](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_9_0000-Fair%20Employment%20Practices,%201945/thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_9_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to the Fair Employment Practice Act: Correspondence Between George Schwabe and The Refinery Supply Company")
