- Description:
- Mr. R.W. Overton writes to Congressman George B. Schwabe protesting against the strike situation and demanding immediate legislation to control labor racketeers, specifically calling out John L. Lewis. Congressman Schwabe responds, agreeing with Overton and expressing his willingness to vote for bills that will curb the influence of labor racketeers on the government. Schwabe criticizes the New Deal crowd for appeasing labor racketeers and prioritizing their own political interests over the public good. He reassures Overton of his commitment to serving the public.
