Labor legislation in 1928 was enacted by Congress and by regular legislative sessions in nine states and insular possessions. Most important were new laws in the field of social insurance, including particularly workmen's accident compensation and rehabilitation of industrial cripples, old-age pension and retirement systems. Legislation to strengthen state regulation of fee-charging employment agencies was made necessary by a Supreme Court case abolishing the regulation of fees charged applicants for jobs. Other legislative topics of importance were child labor, safety and health, wage payments and mechanics' liens
