The NWC's aim was the federation of organizations representing scientists, technicians, professional and "white-Collar" workers in order to gain a stronger voice for the "war-effort" and for more liberal legislation in Congress. In addition to his work in the NWC, Mather, during the Second World War, was President of the American Association of Scientific Workers, an association founded in 1938 to "promote and extend the applications of science and the scientific method to all problems of human welfare."
