In 1916 the Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional to?
The 1911 fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory was one of the largest industrial disasters in New York City history. Nearly 150 men and women died in the fire. This high number was due to the common practice of locking factory workers inside the building during the workday to avoid theft and unnecessary breaks. In response to the fire, progressive reformers such as Frances Perkins pushed for increased workplace safety laws as well as the passage of workers' compensation laws. The fire also caused the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union to increase in size and prominence as the union joined the fight for reform. Political machine bosses such as Al Smith, who was a Democratic presidential candidate in 1928, also joined the call to reform labor conditions in New York City factories. The safety rules and the right to form unions were upheld by the US Supreme Court in 1916.

Who pays for the First Ladies dresses?
It really depends. Some First Ladies pay for them out of their clothing budget (First Ladies, because they represent the US at diplomatic functions, have a budget for clothing). Others receive free designer dresses because certain designers know that if a first lady wears their gowns, the design will become popular and the public will want to buy that style.
