Correspondence: 1937, Jan 1 - Oct 18., 1937

Early in 1937, Andrews was appointed Acting Chief, Division of Legislative Aid, Bureau of Unemployment Compensation of the Social Security Board. During this period he sent out a form letter (3/8/37), seeking financial support for a study of the problem of silicosis and ventilation in state mine inspection. Fiorello LaGuardia invited Andrews (4/20/37) to join the panel of arbitrators of the New York City Industrial Relations Board. Andrews went to Europe in the summer. He wrote Professor Brainard that he would be attending the ILO conference and working at the ILO office in Geneva during June and July. On his return to the United States, he continued to work to raise mine safety standards. A letter from D. Harrington, Chief of the Health and Safety Branch of the United States Bureau of Mines (9/7/37), commented on changes Andrews suggested in state mine inspection policy.
