He passed the Federal Reserve Act creating the Federal Reserve System, The Federal Trade Commission outlawing unfair methods of competition, and the Clayton Antitrust Act to strengthen the Sherman Antitrust Act and prevent anti-competitive practices. He championed laws prohibiting child labor and limiting the work day for railroad workers to eight hours. He also backed the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

World War I. however. beckoned and General Pershing was pulled from Mexico and sent to Europe.
