Correspondence: 1933, Aug 3 - 1934, Feb 11., 1933-1934

Unemployment reserves and social security were still the chief programs of the organization. Personality factors were prominent in disputes. In August Mary Drier wrote to warn Andrews (8/7/33) that they must keep Abraham Epstein out of the New York State fight for unemployment insurance. Dorothy Douglas resigned from the executive committee (11/4/33) because she felt its attitude toward unemployment insurance had been equivocal. Miles M. Dawson wrote Andrews (12/20/33) that he wished to cooperate with the AALL because he had had a falling out with Epstein. The AALL program for 1934 included sponsorship of legislation providing unemployment reserves, amendment of workmen's compensation, and public employment offices. In February Edwin E. Witte wrote to Andrews (2/9/34), advising him that unemployment insurance was winning support for Epstein and the AASS. Wittee felt the AALL should move quickly as "the champion of the rights of organized labor," to counter the swing.
