LAD 27: Keating-Owen Child Labor Act

The Keating Owen Child Labor Act was made in response to the abuse of child laborers. They were overworked, underpaid, and had to work in horrible conditions. The act banned products made in a factory hiring children under 14 working more then 18 hours a day. The Keating Owen Act regulated the age that children must be to work, how many hours they can work, and pay.
