Murphy, Edgar Gardner - New York Times, Jun. 24, 1913 - The Rev. Edgar Gardner
Murphy, author of "The Present South" and founder of the National Child Labor
Committee, died yesterday at his home, 93rd Street and Central Park West. He was
born in Arkansas forty four years ago, and was educated at the Univ. of the
South. In 1903 at the National Conference of Charities and Corrections in
Atlanta, Mr. Murphy set forth the conditions of child labor in the south by a
memorable address. He enlisted the interest of philanthropists and others, and
as the direct result of his pleading, the National Child Labor Committee was
organized in 1904.
