Correspondence: 1930 June 1 - Nov 12., 1931

Unemployment problems and their solution dominated the activities of the summer and fall of 1930. Governor Roosevelt asked Andrews (9/13/30) to arrange a meeting with Sir William Beveridge. Weeks later the Association launched a massive survey of unemployment across the nation. Joseph Chamberlain's letter to Andrews (9/27/30) encloses a draft of the unemployment insurance bill. Subsequent letters dis-cuss amendments and reactions to the draft. A form letter from the AALL to the nation's governors announced a national conference on unemployment in conjunction with that year's annual meeting of the Association.
