- Description:
- The document consists of two letters discussing a proposed gratuity of $25 per week for certain classes of war workers. The first letter acknowledges receipt of the proposal and states that Congressman Schwabe has actively opposed it. The second letter expresses concerns about the proposal, including potential delays in reconversion, encouragement of people to take a vacation instead of returning to work, and the impact on inflation and unemployment. The document suggests that money should be given to returning GI's instead.
