New Federal Agencies


The Women's Bureau of 1920 was in the department of labor. These agencies, while women had yet the right to vote, gave them their platform and say into society.

The Children's Bureau of 1912 was a stand for reform of child labor laws. As the Women's Bureau did, gave the women their say in society.

Federal Trade Commission was the government control over over-seas shipping and trading.

The Federal Reserve was given the right to issue paper money, and to regulate public control over the banks system.

The Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916 gave farmers credit at low rates of interest.
