    The act was later overturned by the Supreme Court.

    Explanation:

    Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916 was a statute that was supposed to bring stricter laws about child labor. By it, children under 16 couldn't work in the mines, children under 14 could only work from 6 am to 7 pm, and no one could sell things produced by factories that employed children under the age of fourteen. It was a law that was supposed to manage physical child labor and exploitation.

    It was accepted by congress on the second attempt, but only nine months later the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled this statute to be unconstitutional.
