The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act passed by Congress in 1916 was to restrict the unlawful use of child labor at the time. Child labor back then was not safe or fair so this act was passed to protect their rights. This act regulated labor in factories, preventing the sales of products from a firm employed children under 14. Shifts too long or too late were banned and firms could not sell products under those conditions. It took time for the public to support the movement against child labor so conditions carried on for longer then they should have, with the enforcement of this act delayed. The Fair Standards Act of 1938 finally gave forceful restrictions against child labor.
