The document is from Dean Baugh, Executive Secretary of the Oklahoma State Federation of Labor, urging Honorable George B. Schwabe to support the President's unemployment compensation plan in order to protect workers who lost their jobs after the war. Baugh highlights the increased cost of living during the war and the need for financial support for workers who are struggling to make payments on their homes and furniture. Baugh argues that just as industry received subsidies during the war, labor should also be entitled to protection during the reconversion period.
