Social and industrial justice
Theodore Roosevelt first discusses the authority of the courts to delay or stop social and political justice and advancement and how that needs to be changed by the will of the people. He then discusses the need for regulation of industry for the safety and welfare of its workers. The Progressive Party supports a minimum wage, 8-hour work day and child and women labor laws to help the industrial laborer’s standard of living.
