Workmen's compensation for seamen, longshoremen, and private employees in the District of Columbia continued to provide an important activity for the Association. Joseph Chamberlain and Miles Dawson worked together closely on the longshoremen's bill, and the Association cooperated with Congressman Roy G. Fitzgerald on the bill to provide workmen's compensation for private employees in the District. On several occasions John Andrews lobbied in Washington for support of the Fitzgerald Bill. John Randolph Haynes again approached the organization, offering funds if the AALL would work on coal mine safety. John Andrews replied (5/31/21) that "$1000 will mean a vigorous campaign for mine safety that fall." In September, Herbert Hoover invited Andrews to attend conferences on unemployment in Washington, and Andrews was active for some time as a member of the Economic Advisory Committee of the United States Department of Commerce.
