Senator Hough Speaks on Child Labor Bill in Senate

The Ledger reports Senator Hough’s remarks last Friday on the proposed child labor bill.

He cites Alabama’s past law and appeals to practical concerns about livelihoods and family welfare. The discussion foregrounds the clash between empathy for working children and defense of factory management.
