The efforts in the decade prior to that failed, including one case where the supreme court said child labor laws are an infringement on the rights of children. The 1938 fair labor standards act was the first at the federal level. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/08/16/158925367/child-labor-in-america-1920 http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/08/16/158925367/child-la...
