Scope and Contents

Attention to the question of coal mine safety increased, along with the longshoremen's workmen's compensation, old age pensions, and industrial diseases. Irene Sylvester Chubb lobbied for the Fitzgerald Bill from January through May, 1924, and wrote frequently about her activities. Correspondence was carried on with the American Mining Congress and the Mining Safety Coordinating Committee. H. Foster Bain, Stephen Wise, E. A. Holbrook and William Green communicated on the coal mine safety program and urged Andrews to continue this campaign. In April, Alice Hamilton wrote concerning new problems of phosphorous poisoning in fireworks plants in New Jersey.
