![["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."]](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_8_0000-Fair%20Employment%20Practices,%201945/thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_8_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to the Fair Employment Practice Act: A Letter from McAlester Fuel Company")

It expresses concern about the economic loss to farmers and the public if the cattle are not sold and butchered. The telegram also discusses the difficulties faced by local slaughterers and producers due to federal regulations. The sender criticizes the OPA for not addressing local hardships and inequities and suggests that the bureau has bungled the works in regulating prices on various products.

![["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. However, the Chamber has concerns about the method proposed for enforcing the act, which involves creating a new Federal bureau and giving it extensive powers to investigate and enforce compliance. The Chamber believes that this approach could lead to potential abuse, lawsuits, and blackmailing. They also argue that social distinctions in employment cannot be eliminated through coercive legislation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/Fair%20Employment%20Practices,%201945-CAC_CC_047_1_5_17_0000/thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_17_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Cleveland Chamber of Commerce Report on the Fair Employment Practice Act of 1945")
