Phelps-Dodge Relationships with WMC
Sept. 27, 1944
I note in the attached correspondence that Mr. Bond, in a letter dated August 30, described the WMC relationship with the Phelps-Dodge Company as “exceptionally harmonious up to the time of this incident.”1
It occurs to me that this is another indication of WMC’s failure to appreciate its responsibility in the South. I do not see how they could be having an “exceptionally harmonious” relationship with the company, which appears to be consistently violating the Executive Order if the War Manpower Commission considers Executive Order 9346 as operative.
