![["The author of the letter is expressing opposition to a proposed \"Fair Employment Practice Act\" that would make it unlawful for employers to discriminate based on race, creed, color, national origin, or ancestry. They believe federal legislation cannot eliminate these types of discrimination and that such a law would create confusion and harm. The author also criticizes existing labor laws, arguing that they are causing harm to industrial prosperity and the welfare of labor. They urge the Oklahoma delegation to discourage additional radical legislation until the country can operate on private funds and industry can demonstrate its ability to function independently."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_047_1_5_8_0008.jpg "Opposition to the Fair Employment Practice Act: A Letter from McAlester Fuel Company")

![["The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce supports the Fair Employment Practice Act, which aims to eliminate discrimination in employment based on race, creed, color, national origin, or ancestry.
