  1. Rolling back child labor laws does not expand liberty. It shrinks it, trading a child’s future for an employer’s convenience and profit. A country confident in itself invests in its children. It does not spend them. #ChildLabor

  8. On this day in 1919, Congress passed the Child Labor Tax Law, forcing employers of child labor to pay a 10 percent tax. In 1922, Bailey v. Drexel Furniture Co., SCOTUS ruled that it was a penalty and not a tax, and it was therefore unconstitutional.

    “A considerable number of the boys and girls die within the first two or three years after beginning work,” wrote Dr. Elizabeth Shapleigh, a Lawrence physician. “Thirty-six of every 100 of all men and women who work in the mills die before or by the time they are 25 years of age.”

  13. A quotation from Will Rogers

    I see a lot in the Papers about this 20th or Child Labor Amendment, and I have been asked how I stand on that. If Congress or the States would just pass one law, as follows, they wouldn’t need any Amendment: “EVERY CHILD, REGARDLESS OF AGE, SHALL RECEIVE THE SAME WAGE AS A GROWN PERSON.” That will stop your child labor.

    Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
    Column (1924-12-28), “Weekly Article”

  14. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    Competition, of course, like all other good things, can be carried to excess. Competition should not extend to fields where it has demonstrably bad social and economic consequences. The exploitation of child labor, the chiseling of workers’ wages, the stretching of workers’ hours, are not necessary, fair or proper methods of competition.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
    Message (1938-04-29) to Congress, On Curbing Monopolies
