EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "CHILD LABOR RULING, 1922" captures a powerful political cartoon from The Labor Herald in July 1922. This thought-provoking image criticizes the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling on the unconstitutionality of the 1919 Child Labor Tax Law. The cartoon serves as a scathing indictment of the court's decision and its impact on child labor in America during the early 20th century. In this artwork, we see an old judge presiding over a courtroom filled with children representing those affected by child labor. The artist skillfully portrays their innocence and vulnerability through their young faces and ragged clothing. By juxtaposing these innocent figures with the stern judge, it highlights the stark contrast between those who hold power and authority versus those who suffer under unjust laws. This poignant illustration is not only a critique of legal decisions but also sheds light on social inequality and economic exploitation prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder of how important legislation can protect vulnerable members of society, particularly children. The Granger Collection has preserved this historically significant piece to remind us of our past struggles for workers' rights and to inspire ongoing efforts towards creating fairer working conditions for all individuals today.
