Correspondence: 1922, Dec 16 - 1923, Oct 31., 1922-1923

In addition to the programs planned for 1923, a heavy emphasis on old age pensions and insurance dominated the work of the Association. Columbia University Legislative Drafting Bureau sent John Andrews (1/12/23) the program of the AALL for old age pensions that had been worked out in cooperation with the Eagles. Abraham Epstein wrote often during the early months of the year on the progress of the old age pension bill and Gomper's attitude toward it. Epstein's personal dissatisfaction with his job is evidenced in his April correspondence. Felix Frankfurter wrote to Andrews (6/18/23) in regard to his def-inition of law enforcement. Herbert Hoover wrote in late August to invite Andrews to serve as an informal observer at the International Unemployment Association Conference in Luxembourg that fall. Sidney Hillman explained the workings of his union's private unem-ployment insurance contract (9/26/23). During the summer months, special efforts were made to fight discrimination in granting workmen's compensation awards to the non-resident dependents of aliens.
