Answer:
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938
Explanation:
The Supreme Court had been one of the major obstacles to wage-hour and child-labor laws. Among notable cases is the 1918 case of Hammer v. Dagenhart in which the Court by one vote held unconstitutional a Federal child-labor law. Similarly in Adkins v. Children's Hospital in 1923, the Court by a narrow margin voided the District of Columbia law that set minimum wages for women. During the 1930's, the Court's action on social legislation was even more devastating.3
New Deal promise. In 1933, under the "New Deal" program, Roosevelt's advisers developed a National Industrial Recovery Act (NRA).4 The act suspended antitrust laws so that industries could enforce fair-trade codes resulting in less competition and higher wages. On signing the bill, the President stated: "History will probably record the National Industrial Recovery Act as the most important and far-reaching legislation ever enacted by the American Congress." The law was popular, and one family in Darby, Penn., christened a newborn daughter Nira to honor it.
As an early step of the NRA, Roosevelt promulgated a President's Reemployment Agreement "to raise wages, create employment, and thus restore business." Employers signed more than 2.3 million agreements, covering 16.3 million employees. Signers agreed to a workweek between 35 and 40 hours and a minimum wage of $12 to $15 a week and undertook, with some exceptions, not to employ youths under 16 years of age. Employers who signed the agreement displayed a "badge of honor," a blue eagle over the motto "We do our part." Patriotic Americans were expected to buy only from "Blue Eagle" business concerns.
In the meantime, various industries developed more complete codes. The Cotton Textile Code was the first of these and one of the most important. It provided for a 40-hour workweek, set a minimum weekly wage of $13 in the North and $12 in the South, and abolished child labor. The President said this code made him "happier than any other one thing...since I have come to Washington, for the code abolished child labor in the textile industry." He added: "After years of fruitless effort and discussion, this ancient atrocity went out in a day."

The person who had a greater impact on industrial development in the U.S., was <u>Samuel Slater</u> <em>(Who was born in England in June 9, 1768 and died in April 21, 1835)</em>, because He was a pioneer in the American Industrial Development that took the British textile technology and the machinery designs and brought them to the United States, and with that industrial system and the machines, he created the first textile factories of North america, and began a business in that industry with his sons. <u>And thanks to that, it was generated an increase and an enhance in the U.S. industrial development, which caused that U.S became in one of the most industrialized nation.</u> So for that reason, <u>Samuel Slater was known as the "Father of the American Factory System".</u>
But by other side, although Eli Whitney contributed to the U.S. Industrial Revolution with the invention of the cotton gin, however, he wasn't founded the pillars of the Industrial Development of the U.S., as Samuel Slater did it.
So, according to the previous, <u>the right answer is Samuel Slater.</u>
