- Description:
- The document is a letter from the Guthrie Cotton Oil Company to Honorable George Schwabe opposing amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act that would make time and a half over 40 hours mandatory and raise the minimum wage. The company explains that they are unable to increase shifts due to lack of surplus labor and that their prices are fixed by government agencies, so any increase in labor costs would have to be offset by lowering prices paid to producers. They urge Schwabe to oppose the proposed changes.
