World War I became its own reform movement in American, where all efforts were devoted to winning the war and organizing the economy.
President Wilson created the War Industries Board, which worked with businesses to produce supplies for the war effort. The Food and Fuel Act which regulated the nation’s food and encouraged Americans to lead simpler lives in order to insure enough food for the nation and the troops without having to ration it.
War Bonds were also sold to raise money for the war effort.
The war created a great shift in American business; there was a new reliance on large corporations and businesses working closely with the government.
The AFL supported WWI and the president, Samuel Gompers was appointed the to the National Labor Board which was set up by the government as a “supreme court of labor.” While the Wobblies (IWW) called the war “the capitalists war” and strongly opposed America’s involvement.
For women, the war meant jobs, and higher paying jobs than they used to get. Much of the workforce during the war was made up of women, especially in manufacturing. But women were still treated unfairly and earned half of what men earned. The Women in Industry Service was created to promote equality in the workforce for women.
