No, this isn't really a, "no true Scotsman," situation. The person claimed that Capitalism did reform child labor, but they gave examples of regulation, not Capitalism. An example of Capitalism ending child labor would be something like the free-market ending child labor because it was less profitable, but I can't think of a large-scale example of that.

If they had said, "No capitalist country could end Capitalism," and then when someone brought up the Fair Labor Act and they said, "Well then America isn't a really a Capitalist country," that would be a, "No true Scotsman," situation.
