LAD # 28 Keating-Owen Child Labor Act

1. Summarize

It was the first bill made to combat child labor. This bill didn't necessarily say that children couldn't work, but said that products were banned that were made by companies that employed children or didn't follow certain guidelines. This Bill was eventually destroyed in the Hammer v. Dagenhart Supreme Court case, because it infringed on the government control of interstate commerce.
