The regulation of child labor in stores, hotels. laundrfes and street trades, for instance, must be left to the states, but congress can and should protect the thousands of children who manu- facture goods for interstate commerce It is the Queckest way to free them from premature employment, and it is the only way in which the manufac- turer in states where the employment of children is carefully regulated. can be protected from the unfair compe- titton of states with lower standards We believe in "state's rights and we believe that they include the right of the manufacturer to equal competition, the right of the consumer to protec- ton from child made goods and the right of the future citizens to d normal childhood and chance for edlna- tfon.'
