La Folette Seamen's Act of 1915
The La Folette Seamen's Act made mandatory the decent treatment and decent wage earning priviledges of sailors. Unfortunately, shipping rates increased due to this higher standard. Wilson pushed this legistation to become even moreso identifiable as the progressive president.
Worker's Compensation Act of 1915
The Worker's Compensation Act set up a system by which a federal civil servant would receive support if he or she were to become disabled somehow. Again, this was pushed by Wilson the progessive, whose mind was on the upcoming elections.
