Progressives supported limits on working hours, and laws restricting child labor.
The Federal government sets specific labor laws, including those about child labor. But the states can put their own laws in effect, as long as they do not contradict the Federal laws. Most states regulate the hours a child can work and the ages they can get a work permit.
To the best of my knowledge, every state has child labor laws. There are also federal child labor laws. To find Texas' child labor laws, google 'Texas statutes, labor code, chapter 51'
