Scope and Contents

In early March and April the Croweel vs. Benson decision evoked comments from Edwin E. Witte (3/15/32), Joseph Chamberlain (3/7/32), Arthur J. Altmeyer (3/29/32) and Walter F. Dodd (4/11/32). The fight to stem the flood of unemployment continued. Arthur J. Altmeyer (3/19/32) and Paul Raushenbush (3/11/32) wrote concerning unemployment insurance and reserves. The AALL backed the policy on the change in name of the New York Conference for Unemployment Insurance Legislation to the New York Conference for Unemployment Reserves Legislation (3/21/32). Andrews wrote Anna Bogue, secretary to Mrs. Willard Straight Elmhurst, a heavy contributor, that he was attempting to set up effective state commissions on unemployment reserve legislation in Michigan and Pennsylvania (4/19/32). Robert F. Wagner congratulated Andrews (4/25/32) on the favorable report that the United States House of Representatives Commerce Com-mittee gave on the unemployment exchange bill. Wagner also stated that he had appreciated Andrews' assistance when the fight reached the floor. Roosevelt wrote to Andrews (5/25/32), inviting him to continue to serve on a commission to study the medical and hospital problems of workmen's compensation. In August William Green wrote to Andrews (8/12/32), welcoming his aid in regard to unemployment insurance.
