Abstract

All states but Kentucky, Louisiana, Missssippi, and Virginia held regular sessions of their legislature in 1931. There were special sessions of the state legislature in several of the larger states to deal with public relief of unemployment. Major interest in social legislation was centered in unemployment insurance measures and in relief. Old-age pensions made progress and child-labor legislation was added to in many states.
