What does the author imply was the main reason it was so hard to enact child labor

reform? Story: Mill Children

Only the members of the mill children's
families cared about child labor laws.

Mill owners tried to persuade
government leaders to undo any child
labor laws that were passed

Public support for child labor laws
declined after violence erupted during a
strike in Massachusetts.

The public did not want child labor
reform because it would result in higher
prices for clothes and other textiles.
