What was the Progressive Era? The P. era was the period of time during
the late 1800’s & early 1900’s when the federal government began to regulate business, labor, etc. to improve the lives of Americans. Designed to protect the people from the wealth
and power of big business and its abuses. Historians date the P. era from 1890-1917.

Progressives Progressives sought change in all policies
at all levels of government Initially their efforts were successful at the local
level, reforming city bosses like Boss Tweed and the Tammany Hall ring.
Gradually their reforms progressed to state and national levels.

The Four Original Goals of Progressivism
Protecting social welfare - YMCA Promoting moral improvement -
prohibition of alcohol Creating economic reform - change of
individual behavior and busting of trusts Fostering efficiency - "Taylorism"
Frederick Taylor wrote “The Principles of Scientific Management in 1911
![Page 6: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Tenets of Taylorism Develop a "science" for every job, including rules
motion, standardized work implements, and proper working conditions.
Carefully select workers with the right abilities for the job.
Carefully train these workers to do the job, and give them proper incentives to cooperate with the job science.
Support these workers by planning their work and by smoothing the way as they go about their jobs.

Who were the Progressives? The reformers were predominantly
members of the middle class. Women came to the fore in the Progressive
era Many proved their value as social workers.
The Progressives pushed for social justice and general equality

The Power of the Pen A muckraker is a journalist, author, or
filmmaker who investigates and exposes societal issues such as political corruption, corporate crime, child labor, conditions in slums and prisons, unsanitary conditions in food processing plants, fraudulent claims by manufacturers of patent medicines and similar topics.
![Page 9: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Muckrakers In the early 1900s, muckrakers shed light on such
issues by writing books and articles for popular magazines and newspapers.
One of the more well known from the early period is Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, (1906) which led to reforms in meat packing in the United States.
Some of the most famous of the early muckrakers are Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, and Ray Stannard Baker.
![Page 10: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Muckrakers “There is filth on the floor, and it must be
scraped up with the muck rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed.”
1906 speech by T. Roosevelt to the House of Reps. Described the role of the journalists who focused
on the need for reform in politics, business, and society.

Muckrakers
McClure's Magazine (cover, Jan, 1901) published many early muckraker articles.

Constitutional Reforms Prohibition: 18th Amendment (1920) Women’s suffrage: 19th Amendment (1920) Income tax: 16th amendment Direct Election of senators: 17th
Amendment

During the 1870s, many Americans (particularly farmers) began to resent the apparent stranglehold the railroads exerted over many parts of the country.
Created the Interstate Commerce Commission, the first true federal regulatory agency.
Interstate Commerce Act: 1887
![Page 15: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Interstate Commerce Act: 1887 designed to address the issues of railroad
abuse and discrimination and required the following: Shipping rates had to be "reasonable and just" Rates had to be published Secret rebates were outlawed Price discrimination against small markets was
made illegal.
![Page 16: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sherman Anti-Trust Act: 1890 Designed to limit the power of trusts & based on
the Congressional ability to regulate interstate commerce
Declared illegal every contract, combination (in the form of trust or otherwise), or conspiracy in restraint of interstate and foreign trade.
Authorized the federal government to institute proceedings against trusts in order to dissolve them but Supreme Court rulings prevented federal authorities from using the act for some years.
![Page 17: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sherman Anti-Trust Act As a result of President Theodore Roosevelt's
"trust-busting" campaigns, the Sherman Act began to be invoked with some success.
In 1904 the Supreme Court upheld the government in its suit for dissolution of the Northern Securities Company.
The act was further employed by President Taft in 1911 against the Standard Oil trust and the American Tobacco Company.
![Page 18: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Future Implications AT&T breakup of 1980’s Price fixing by several corporations of the
1960’s & 1970’s regulated and their monopolies destroyed.
![Page 19: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Elkins Railroad Act, 1903 The Elkins Act ended the common practice of the railroads
granting rebates to their most valuable customers. The great oil and livestock companies of the day paid the
rates stated by the railroads, but demanded rebates on those payments. The giants paid significantly less for rail service than farmers
and other small operators. The railroads had long resented being extorted by the trusts
and welcomed the Elkins legislation. The law provided further that rates had to be published and
that violations of the law would find both the railroad and the shipper liable for prosecution.

Future Implications Anti-kick-backs today Regulates common carriers of people and
freight—UPS, FedEx, Greyhound, Amtrak, airlines
![Page 21: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hepburn Act, 1906 Strengthened existing railroad regulations
Increased the size of the Interstate Commerce Commission from five to seven members & gave the ICC the power to establish maximum rates
Restricted the use of free passes Brought other common carriers such as terminals,
storage facilities, pipelines, ferries and others, under ICC jurisdiction
![Page 22: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hepburn Act, 1906 Required the adoption of uniform accounting
practices for all carriers In appeals situations, placed the burden of proof
on the shipper, not the ICC; this was a major change from the previous practice in which the railroads had blunted regulations by lengthy appeals.
![Page 23: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Future Implications Still regulates rates for passengers as well
as freight Air travel and air freight price controls
![Page 24: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pure Food & Drug Act, 1906 Muckrakers successfully heightened public awareness
of safety issues stemming from careless food preparation procedures and the increasing incidence of drug addiction from patent medicines, both accidental and conscious.
Scientific support came from Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the Department of Agriculture's chief chemist, who published his findings on the widespread use of harmful preservatives in the meat-packing industry.
The experience of American soldiers with so-called “embalmed beef” during the Spanish-American war added impetus to the movement.
![Page 25: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Future Implications Contents of food and drug packages must
now be listed on the label All additives/chemicals must be listed on
the labels, as well. Cosmetics are not covered.
![Page 26: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Meat Inspection Act, 1906 Companion to the Pure Food & Drug Act. Brought the following reforms to the processing of
cattle, sheep, horses, swine and goats destined for human consumption: All animals were required to pass an inspection by the
U.S. Drug Administration prior to slaughter All carcasses were subject to a post-mortem inspection Cleanliness standards were established for
slaughterhouses and processing plants.

Future Implications Meat inspections regulate and grade the
meat that is sold Fish is still not regulated

Newlands Reclamation Act, 1902 Tried to extend federal assistance to
farmers and ranchers who worked the arid lands of the West.
The federal government would plan, construct and manage irrigation projects for the purpose of reclaiming marginal lands
Money for these projects would be generated by the sale of public lands
![Page 29: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Newlands Reclamation Act, 1902 The on-going expenses of the projects
would be supported by fees paid by farmers and ranchers using the water.
This measure, along with subsequent legislation, brought thousands of new acres under cultivation and placed the federal government front and center in the water distribution question in the West.
![Page 30: The Progressive Era The Age of American Domestic Reform](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dfe5503460f94ae621f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Future Implications Much unusable land was reclaimed for use
today Many recreation areas created. Erosion of much land was halted and many
ponds and lakes were created. Fed. gov’t built dams, tunnels, flumes, etc.

The Uprising of the Twenty Thousands (Dedicated to the Waistmakers of 1909) In the black of the winter of nineteen nine,
When we froze and bled on the picket line,We showed the world that women could fightAnd we rose and won with women's might.
Chorus:Hail the waistmakers of nineteen nine,Making their stand on the picket line,Breaking the power of those who reign,Pointing the way, smashing the chain.
And we gave new courage to the menWho carried on in nineteen tenAnd shoulder to shoulder we'll win through,Led by the I.L.G.W.U.
