Iowa bill to curb child labor gains backing from clubs and unions
A committee led by Mrs. W. H. Bailey pursues a child labor law for Iowa. The measure, modeled on Massachusetts and Illinois ideas, would prohibit under age 14 or under 16 if short or light from various jobs, limit hours, require schooling proofs, and ban night work and dangerous tasks. Strong support from Federation of Women’s Clubs and labor groups is expected with limited opposition.
