{"value"=>"<p>The files are arranged chronologically, and include correspondence, chiefly invitations, and miscellaneous papers. The thirty special meetings most often took the form of ad hoc luncheons convened to deal with NCF's more urgent concerns, such as arranging a homecoming welcome in April of 1919 for Samuel Gompers and the AFL labor mission to Europe; Seth Low's bill to amend the Sherman Anti-trust Act; the arbitration of industrial disputes; and the question of how union membership could affect a civil servant's relationship to the government. Some of these meetings also demonstrate NCF's methodical approach to events and issues, proceeding from low-level miscellaneous meeting to departmental study to full-scale corrective project, such as the report on old age dependency published by the Industrial Welfare Department. For a complete list of these meetings, see the Container List for Boxes 410 and 411.</p>"}
