1. What did the progressives do to make the workplace safer? Work comp., child labor laws, put up gaurd rails, made it brighter. OSHA started in 1970 and it investigates businesses to make sure it's safe and can shut them down if it's not.3. What is prohibition? 1920-1933 banned sale, production, and consumption, but you could make it at your own house and drink it at your own house and it'd be legal. Why did people want prohibition to come about? WWCTU fought for spousel abuse because husbands would get drunk then beat their wifes. What tactics were used to bring about prohibition? Some towns would put restrictions on alchol on certain days or certiain times. The 18th Admedment finally put out drinking.-Breann Lehr
