New Influence in Iowa Legislature Drives Women Sought Protections
Des Moines reports say women will push for stricter child labor laws, higher wages, and safer working hours in the upcoming Iowa legislative session. The Iowa League of Voters, led by Flora Dunlap, Anoy Lawther, and James Devitt, champions women in industry and suffrage. Matthew Woll of the AFL argues suffrage benefits labor, citing women’s influence in business and demand for fair practices. Dubuque cuts police force from 45 to 36, reallocating pay to remaining officers.
