Correspondence: 1932, Sept 16 - 1933, Jan 31., 1932-1933

During this period, Andrews and the Association were occupied primarily with unemployment relief. Andrews wrote Paul Raushenbush (10/4/32) about the amount of time the AALL had spent in working out a formula that would "save face" for gubernatorial candidate Lehman and reverse his position on unemployment reserves. A letter to Ernest Draper (11/10/32) deals with the National Committee on Unemployment Reserves, a satellite of the AALL. The problem of how to invest unemployment reserve monies also received wide attention. Mary E. Drier, Executive Secretary of the New York Conference on Unemployment Reserves Legislation, wrote to Irene Osgood Andrews (1/2/33), reminding her that when Lehman spoke on unemployment insurance, they must write and thank him for his leadership. In mid-January form letters were sent to all Democratic governors, calling on them to honor the Democratic platform supporting state legislation for unemployment insurance.
