The La Follette Seamen's Act of 1915 required decent treatment and wages for previously over-worked and beaten and tired American shippers and sea merchants. The Act did come with a negative effect though, the freighting rates increased drastically to compensate for the worker's new wages.
The Workers Compensation Act of 1916 provided assistance to federal civil-service employees during times of strife, disability, and loss.
