![["Helen Gahagan Douglas argues for the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, stating that it restricts labor unions and undermines collective bargaining. She emphasizes the importance of labor unions for protecting workers and democracy, and criticizes the economic power of big corporations. Douglas urges Congress to focus on the basic question of whether it is fair to suppress labor unions while allowing big business to dominate the economy. She calls for a realistic approach to economic issues and highlights the role of labor unions in improving working conditions and maintaining full employment."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0000-Statements%20in%20Congress,%20speeches,%20and%20press%20releases%20of%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_171_3_0023_thumbnail.jpg "The Indispensable Philosophy: Address by Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas")
![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas of California supports the establishment of a Civilian Conservation Corps to provide work and educational experiences for unemployed youth. She highlights the benefits of such a program in improving physical resources and addressing conservation needs. The proposed legislation has been carefully crafted to ensure it complements existing conservation efforts and does not take away jobs from others. Douglas emphasizes the importance of addressing unemployment and conservation needs, arguing that delaying the establishment of a C.C.C. would be shortsighted."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas's%20Speeches/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Equality in Employment: The Urgent Need for H.R. 792")
![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas has proposed bills to re-establish a Civilian Conservation Corps with an enrollment of between 150,000 and 200,000 young men. The Corps would provide valuable work and educational experiences while also addressing the issue of youth unemployment. The program would be voluntary, last one to two years, and provide a monthly pay of $60 plus benefits. The estimated cost of the program is $400 million a year, but Representative Douglas believes it will yield significant returns in terms of human and natural resources. The Corps would be non-military and overseen by a Commission consisting of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas's%20Speeches/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0028_thumbnail.jpg "The United Nations Action in Korea: A Decisive Day in World History")
