As the labor situation created by the war
develops i am more interested in ever, if that
were possible, in throwing all the safeguards
possible around the labor of women and
children in order that no intolerable or
injurious burden may be placed upon them.

b)the increased labor needs as a result of the

President Woodrow Wilson, in this letter to the National Child Labor Committee, dated December 20, 1917, expressed concern with B). The increased labor needs ...

In particular, Wilson wanted to spare children and women the agony of World War I so that labor efficiency increased, the economy's productivity enhanced, and the life and health of children and women preserved.

He was not concerned with the railway strike or re-election because he had already won his second tenure (1916).

Thus, President Wilson was concerned because of the increased demand for labor during World War I.
