Child Labor Amendment Debate Snarled by Senate Subcommittee
On February 17 1923 a Chicago Tribune editorial is cited criticizing the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee led by Senator Shortridge for delaying action on the McCormick Child Labor Amendment. It argues for a federal measure allowing Congress to regulate child labor, citing shellfish cannery conditions and urging national standards to protect citizenship and future well being of American children. The piece condemns procedural delays and notes President Harding will not call a special session, leaving children waiting amid national budget and policy priorities.
