Mr. Kenneth S. Imel
4815 West Alder Place
Phone R. 0131
San Diego, California
May 25, 1946
Honoraple Harry S. Truman
President of the United States
Washington, D. C.
Your Honor:
Congratulations on your two speeches concerning adequate labor
legislation: the one on Friday evening, May24, and the other
today, Saturday, May 25.
I am a Democrat and have always been in favor of "labor", but
during our recent reconversion program, labor has taken undue
advantage of the situation. Your talks have clearly outlined
our problems and, I believe, werevery timely.
As a popular move from the point of view of the Democratic Party,
your speeches have gained many votes for Democrats.
It is always well to let the public know the facts. When the
legislature knows that the public knows, they realize that they
have to act.
If labor and management clan be held in check for the next few
months and let production continue, the Democratic Party has a
good chance of success in the elections during the next two years.
I agree that Price Control should continue as a part of the complete
program.
Very sincerely,
Kenneth S. Imel
