Summarize Keating-Owen Child Labor Act

This act was passed in 1916 and helped fix the dangerous and intense child labor in America. It was based on the allowance for Federal intervention on interstate commerce. Is says that goods made by children under a certain change cannot be transported in between states. It affected only children who worked in factories and mines, not child workers in agriculture. The laws that were put into place are still active and backed up by many state laws.
