The progressives accomplished the initiative, the referendum, the recall, the direct election of senators (17th amendment in 1913), the secret ballot, women's suffrage (1920), and also had lasting effects on businesses and the morality of government. The city-manager system came into play. Women also became discriminated from male jobs due to the Muller v Oregon Court Case (1908). Thanks to Upton Sinclair's THE JUNGLE the meat inspection act (1906) and the Pure Food and Drug Act were passed (helping Europe to trust American meat and increase exports).
