Correspondence: 1934, Aug 1 - 1935, Jan 24., 1934-1935

The new United States Commission on Economic Security involved several active AALL members. Edwin E. Witte (8/1/34) and Arthur J. Altmeyer (8/17/34) wrote of their work and sought advice from Andrews. Frances Perkins, as chairman of the Commission, invited Andrews (10/30/34) to the White House Conference on Economic Security. In November (11/17/34), Andrews applied to the John and Mary Markle Foundation for a grant to cover the study of the extension of workmen's compensation to interstate commerce employees. A form letter sent out by the AALL (12/7/34) asked persons interested in seeing health insurance included in the new social insurance program to contact Frances Perkins immediately. Correspondence early in 1935 with the Railway Labor Executives Association (1/7/35), Edwin E. Witte (1/7/35) and Robert Wagner (1/11/35) concerns the bill drafted by Andrews and the AALL extending unemployment insurance to employees working in interstate commerce. Edwin E. Witte wrote (1/23/35) suggesting that Andrews testify for the economic security bill at the hearing.
