Progressive Era
-
Coal Strike of 1902
Workers fought for higher wages and shorter hours of work. I think this falls under creating economic reform. -
Food and Drug administration in 1906
The Pure Food and Drug Act and the creation of FDA. This is also known as the "Wiley Act" after its chief advocate. I think this falls under protecting social welfare. -
Children's Bureau in 1912
A law that was signed by William Howard Taft creating the new federal government organization, initially a part of the department of commerce. I think this falls under fostering efficiency. -
System of National Parks in 1916
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act creating the National Park Service, a new federal bureau in the department of the interior responsible for protecting the 35 national parks and monument. I think this falls under protecting social welfare.
