The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FCMS) was created by the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947 (61 Stat. 153; 29 U.S.C. 172). In order to prevent or minimize interruptions of the free flow of commerce growing out of labor-management disputes, the FMCS was to assist disputant parties in industries affecting interstate commerce to settle their disputes through conciliation and mediation.
The records consist of correspondence, memorandums, monthly summaries of activities, bound reports, and press releases. Primary correspondents are the President, John Ehrlichman, Kenneth Cole, Edward L. Morgan, William E. Simkin, J. Curtis Counts, and W. J. Usery. Topics include the Missile Sites Labor Commission, strike activities, noteworthy disputes, preventive mediation, settlements, and appointments to and resignations from the FMCS. Oversize attachments 3467, 5858, 5894, and 11994 have been processed and integrated into the collection.
