My dear Doctor McKelway:
As the labor situation created tby the war develops, I am more interested than ever, if that were possible, in throwing all the safeguards possible around the labor of women and children in order that no intolerable or injurious burden may be placed upon them. I am, therefore, very glad indeed that the National Child Labor Committee is diligently continuing its labors and extending its vigilance in this important matter. By doing so it is contributing to efficiency and economy of production, as well as to the preservation of life and health.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON
Dr. AJ McKelway,
National Child Labor Committee.
