The document assures the sender that the Congressman will take their views into consideration and opposes the proposed plan."]](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_7_12_0000-Unemployment,%201945/CAC_CC_047_1_7_12_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_7_12_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Proposed Gratuities for War Workers")
