Correspondence: 1933, Feb 1 - Aug 2., 1933

The program for 1933 included a national system of public employment offices, federal encouragement of state unemployment reserves, and accident compensation for railroad and interstate workers. The Association was in such need of funds and office space that John Andrews offered (3/13/33) to sell the AALL collection of early literature on workmen's compensation to John P. Troxell at Duke University. The American Association for Old Age Pensions changed its name to the American Association for Social Security (AASS), also changing its focus, and arousing much comment. The AASS released its standards for unemployment insurance on July 22. Discussion on the merits of these standards continued through December in the AALL's correspondence. Elizabeth Brandeis, Frances Perkins, and John A. Fitch were among those who contributed their opinions.
