Correspondence: 1935, Jan 25 - Sept 30., 1935

The economic security bill and workmen's compensation dominate the correspondence for this period. Edwin E. Witte thanked Andrews for his help with the economic security bill (2/23/35) but was worried that it would not be released from the House Ways and Means Committee. Witte asked if the AALL could stimulate some pressure. Andrews sent out an appropriate letter to the membership (2/25/35). Correspondence with members in southern states and with the general AALL membership concerning workmen's compensation continued. Andrews informed Paul Raushenbush (5/17/35) that Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina had all adopted workmen's compensation legislation in the first two weeks of May. The interstate commerce bill, as Andrews wrote to Senator Wagner (5/15/35), was in the process of being amended by an AALL committee. A long letter (8/11/35) gave Andrews Edwin E. Witte's reactions to the final passage of the Social Security Act, his own feelings toward it, toward Andrews and toward the work done by the AALL.
