Series consists primarily of correspondence, but also newspaper clippings, newsletters, personnel and other lists, a poster and original and translated court orders and laws. Material in this series complements material found in thematically organized Series 1-6, as the originating letter or replies to letters found in this series can sometimes be found within the above series. As such, the records touch upon a wide variety of subjects including negotiations between company and government officials regarding labor quotas and export taxes; interactions between the company, labor unions, and workers of various ethnic backgrounds; and land appropriation and use.
