 File — Reel: 44

Scope and Contents

The Association's activities in the spring of 1931 were evenly distributed between unemployment relief and workmen's compensation for the southern states still without it. Activities in New York State centered on the recently formed Conference for Unemployment Insurance Legislation. John Fitch's letter from the conference to the parent AALL (3/10/31) lists the officers of the conference. Roosevelt wrote to Andrews (3/19/31), asking him to serve on a commission to solve the problem of inadequate medical aid for compensation cases. Later, Andrews wrote Roosevelt, urging that he not sign the bill authorizing private corporations to sell unemployment insurance. Andrews was in Florida in May working for workmen's compensa-tion.
