{"value"=>"<p>This series has been divided into material on the national organization, 1960-1974, and files on individual chapters, 1962-1975.</p> <p>National organization records include correspondence, the NALC constitution, executive board minutes, material on annual conventions and conferences, and mailing lists. The correspondence, arranged chronologically, contains many letters to and from Cleveland Robinson, president of the NALC. Folders for particular conventions and conferences include main addresses by Randolph and Robinson, resolutions, transcripts of the proceedings, and newspaper clippings. Financial information on the conventions and the economic conferences has been placed at the end of each folder. A notebook with financial data for the 1965 and 1968 conventions is located in the 1968 convention file.</p> <p>The chapter files provide some information about the chapters' membership and activities. Information for the Baltimore and Chicago chapters is limited to one and two items respectively. The New York City brewery cases folder describes the New York chapter's efforts to end discrimination in the hiring and promotion practices of the brewery industry and union. The Westchester County file shows the NALC's involvement in improving the hiring practices at the Con Ed/Wedco Corporation Indian Point construction project.</p>"}
