Subject correspondence files, 1917-1918.

The series consists of correspondence, memoranda, telegrams, and circulars relating to the council's work to administer and supervise programs for food conservation, motor convoys, and non-war construction. The correspondence covers these three subject areas, which are subdivided into more specific subjects and chief correspondents. The records document the "creation of relations" with which the council was charged (Chapter 369 of the Laws of 1917) to "render possible immediate concentration and utilization of the state's resources for military purposes" during the war. The series especially documents council cooperation with the U.S. Food Administration and the U.S. War Industries Board.
