Georgia House Approves Child Labor Bill 99 to 44 Vote
The Georgia house passed a new child labor bill on July 24 by 99 to 44. The measure raises the age limit to 14 for most mills and 16 for night work, requires employment certificates, and aims to reduce illiteracy by ensuring basic reading and writing ability before work. Organized labor helped push the bill with 800 Fulton Mills operatives striking in support, and 300 attending the hearing. The National Child Labor Committee calls it the best bill yet and hopes senate approval follows.
