During World War I, the U.S. government took several measures to support the war effort, including labor-related policies. One significant action was establishing an eight-hour workday for war workers, along with generous overtime pay. This was part of broader efforts to increase productivity and maintain morale among workers contributing to the war effort. Other options listed, such as planting victory gardens, issuing ration cards, and banning immigration from specific countries, were either initiatives encouraged among civilians (victory gardens) or not specifically implemented during World War I in the manner described.
