Why bother to put in outside links... just cite your sources within the text. The latter half of this article is an almost word for word copy of the Yale link, which happens to be the first link that pops up in Google (after Wikipedia). "The National War Labor Board, a tripartite body established in 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was charged with acting as an arbitration tribunal in labor-management dispute cases, thereby preventing work stoppages which might hinder the war effort. It was also responsible for determining wage adjustments in accordance with anti-inflationary wage stabilization criteria and policies. The Board was initially divided into 12 Regional Administrative Boards which handled both labor dispute settlement and wage stabilization functions for specific geographic regions. The National Board further decentralized in 1943, when it established special tripartite commissions and panels to deal with particular industries on a national basis." That is part of the text from http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/EAD/htmldocs/KCL05298.html Look lke anything you've seen before? If you write an article about something, at least take the time to put some reasonably dedicated research into it...
