Child Labor Outlawed By NRA Administration Today
Washington marked a major step as the NRA declared child labor unlawful in hundreds of thousands of establishments. Officials estimate about 1,000,000 workers had signed pledges under Roosevelt era re employment agreements to refrain from employing children under 16, with limited exceptions for those 14 to 16 outside school hours. The move accompanied an NRA reorganization plan aimed at stabilizing code administration and addressing wage, price, and competitive issues while completing codes for soft coal and retail trades after Labor Day. Census data noted 197,621 youths aged 10 to 15 employed outside agriculture in 1930.
