The document is from Mr. J. W. Mathis to Honorable George Schwabe expressing opposition to federal control of wages and advocating for state authorities to handle wage scales. Mathis also expresses a desire to see the OPA (Office of Price Administration) abolished, as it has caused high prices and scarcity of commodities. Schwabe agrees with Mathis and criticizes the New Deal Administration for interfering in local affairs and pushing for centralized control. Schwabe highlights the importance of abundant production for low prices and criticizes the OPA as obnoxious and un-American.
