Gardiner wrote to Congressman George B. Schwabe requesting him to vote for H. R. 5308, which imposes a tax on imported angora rabbit wool. She argues that the domestic rabbit wool industry has grown and provides support to many families, especially returning service men. Gardiner urges Schwabe to support the bill to protect American producers from foreign competition. Congressman Schwabe responds, expressing his support for protecting American industry and appreciating input from constituents.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
