Scope and Content Note

This series is comprised mostly of 5" x 8" cards serving as an index to and synopsis of witness testimony, apparently from private hearings.

The cards provide the following: name of subject (person about whom testimony was given); home and business address; occupation; name of witness (if other than the subject); brief summary of witness's statements regarding the subject (e.g. subject's payment or receipt of kickbacks; referrals of cases to or by subject); and file number (apparently citing a no longer extant series of files of witness statements).

The series also contains an unidentified set of 3" x 5" cards apparently tracking receipt from and return to the Labor Department of compensation case files. The cards provide case number, occasionally a name, and an indication (sometimes dated) that the case has arrived or been returned.
