Sentiment and Legislation In Alabama and South Carolina
Alabama reformer Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy, Montgomery, chairs the state committee pushing to end child labor under age 14, citing 20 percent under fourteen in the south and northern capital driving harsher conditions. He warns Alabama’s protections up to twelve mirror economic and humanitarian stakes, and notes mill practices and alleged New England influence. South Carolina shows growing humane sentiment as the bill to restrict child labor in cotton mills is rejected in the house after debate, with 52 to 54, down from 32 in the previous year. The dispatch frames broader concerns about unions, spies, and mine owners aiming to weaken labor organizations, warning of planned factory shutdowns and strikes to destabilize unions.
