- The issues inside labor were the facts of low wages, dangerous working conditions, and also work hours. Wilson, who wanted to please labor, appointed progressive Louis Brandeis to the Supreme Court. He started to support workers compensation, child labor laws, and 8 hour workdays for railroads. The people I say that solved this problem were Roosevelt, who made The Square Deal happen, and Wilson, who became a reluctant Progressive. Plus, the National War Labor Policies Board enacted the eight-hour day, a living minimum wage, and collective bargaining rights in some industries. This also caused the AFL (American Federation of Labor) to see an increase in membership.
- The issues with Immigration and urbanization were the overcrowding of cities with people looking for better jobs and lives for their families. They were put in poor areas that were highly unclean and unhealthy. The government was forced to fix the issues with overcrowding and unhealthy living conditions to better the immigration and urbanization that was occurring during this time. I believe the one that brought light to this intolerable living conditions was Jacob Riis, due to the photos he took and shared with the public. Without his photos, the government would not have been made to fix these dire conditions.
- The issues during this time were plenty. Women were meant to stay at home and take care of things occurring in the home. They had no say in politics or working. It was meant to be the man's job to go out and find work. However, during World War 1 women took up factory jobs due to positions needing to be filled. There was also the uprising of the twenty thousand , when hundreds of women came to protest low wages, dangerous working conditions, and refusal to recognize their union. The WTUL helped in their strike. The birth control movement also occurred as means of social change. Then finally, the nineteenth amendment was passed by Congress to allow women the right to vote. Without WTUL, women desiring more, strikes, Margaret Sanger, Wilson giving his support to suffrage, and etc. women would not have been able to gain their rights they deserved. This all helped grant that for them.
