Correspondence: 1911, March 1 - 1911, August 31., 1911

During this period, the Association worked intensively on its first piece of federal legislation, the bill to ban the use of white phosphorous in the manufacture of matches. In August, 1916, Henry W. Farnam wrote to Stephen Bauer of the IALL (8/9/11) announcing that John Andrews and Irene Osgood had been married on the previous day. During the fall, preparations for the annual meeting were made and John Andrews wrote Ernst Freund (11/1/10) about the programs that would be emphasized in 1911. Phosphorous prohibition topped the list, followed by investigations of industrial disease, reporting of industrial accidents , workmen's compensation, factory inspection and, in cooperation with the National Child Labor Committee, Consumer's League and Women's Trade Union League, child labor and hours of labor for women. Congressman John Each, sponsor of the match bill, wrote often in regard to various provisions and problems of the bill. At the end of January a resolution was passed, authorizing the publication of the American Labor Legislation Review, with John Andrews as editor, a position that he held until his death. The Review was published quarterly and much of the correspondence over the years concerns authors and articles for this publication.
