Correspondence: 1920, Sept 27 - 1921, Feb 24., 1920-1921

Unemployment was the primary focus of activities in the later half of 1920 and the first months of 1921. Thomas Chadbourne, President of the AALL, sent Governor Nathan Miller a nine and one half page report from the Association on the need for an unemployment insurance investigating committee in New York State. Otto Mallery reported on his efforts to promote public employment for the relief of the unemployed. The program for 1921 included maternity protection, one-day-rest-in-seven, rehabilitation of industrial cripples, and reasonable work hours. As the federal bill to provide workmen's compensation was before Congress, Irene Sylvester Chubb was again sent to Washington to act as the Association's lobbyist.
