As Governor of Massachusetts, Coolidge supported wages and hours legislation, opposed child labor, imposed economic controls during World War I, favored safety measures in factories, and even worker representation on corporate boards.
Did he support these measures while president? No, because in the 1920s, such matters were considered the responsibilities of state and local governments.
