Child Labor Law Declared Invalid by Supreme Court
The 1916 federal child labor act banning interstate shipment of products from mills employing under 14 or under 16 and over eight hours a day was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Injunctions shielding government enforcement and a Charlotte cotton mill from discharging child workers were sustained, with Justices Holmes, McKenna, Brandeis and Clarke dissenting. The decision signals a major shift in how interstate commerce powers are used to regulate industrial labor.
