Correspondence: 1935, Oct 1 - 1936, Mar 31., 1935-1936

The launching of Social Security provoked much discussion. Edwin E. Witte reported (11/5/35) and Andrews "will certainly be considered," according to Altmeyer and Winant, for the Geneva appointment. (This probably refers to the position of American representative to the International Labor Office). Frances Perkins wrote to Andrews (1/3/36) to comment on his latest book, Administration of Labor Legislation. Edwin E. Witte wrote (1/25/36) that he felt that Abraham Epstein was trying to get credit for himself for the passage of the Social Security Sill and deny credit to President Roosevelt. The new year brought renewed interest in industrial safety. Walter Gellhorn, Frances Perkins, and several others corresponded with Andrews in February about problems concerning occupational disease, particularly silicosis and tuberculosis.
