![["The document is a message from A.N. Williams, President of a company, urging George B. Schwabe to consider the negative effects of HR 652, which is related to reciprocal trade agreements. Williams argues that low cost foreign competition will harm American industries and jobs, and asks for protection for small industries. The message is supported by 290 employees of the Fenton Art Glass Co. and emphasizes the importance of fair competition and employment. It also mentions that the quickest, surest, and safest way to send money is by telegraph or cable."]](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_38_0000-Reciprocal%20Trade,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_38_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Urgent Message To House Representative Regarding Tariff Protection")
![["Congressman Ed Gossett highlights the significant freight-rate discrimination against the Southwest, with rates 75% higher than the Official Zone. This discrimination hinders industrial growth and economic development in the region. He calls for action from Congress to equalize freight rates and eliminate existing inequalities. The current system benefits Northern interests and suppresses industrial growth in the Southwest. Efforts for reform have been hindered by a well-organized lobby supported by the railroad industry. The only way to address this issue is through legislation to equalize freight rates and remove existing discriminations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/%20CAC_CC_047_1_5_26_0000-Freight%20Rates,%201945/%20CAC_CC_047_1_5_26_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_26_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Freight Rate Discrimination: The Southwestern Industry's Battle")
