IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Day.
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
FACTORIES ACT AMENDMENT BILL,
Mr BRUCE moved the second reading of this bill. He
said that between 17,000 and 18,000 children were em-
ployed in the trades with which it was proposed to deal.
The hon. member for Devonport (Mr Ferrand) had stated
that the bill would affect 10,000 persons, but he thought he
should be able to show the hon. member that that was
a mistake, although no doubt the members would be in-
creased by the extensions it was proposed to adopt. He
explained the principle on which the bill would go with re-
gard to the ages at which children might be employed, and
not many of the objections which had been urged against
Government. He also read lengthened extracts from the
reports of eminent physicians showing the deterioration of
potters and others from overwork, and the nature of the
work in which they were engaged, The seeds of the disease
were sown in the children, whose labour was far too severe.
It had 'seen urged that the Government ought to have pro-
ceeded under the Mines Inspection Act, which prohibited
children under 12 years of age from being employed. That
would be a very good arrangement if they could secure
children, between 8 and 12, being sent to school. (Tho
right honourable gentleman read returns to show that
it was not the case). Another objection which had been
urged was that uuder the bill they would not be able
to ebtain a sufficient number of children to carry on
the work of manufactures ; but it mast be re..
membered those men were employers of boys themselves,
and it was likely that they would not treat them 80
humanely as the employers. He had conclusive evidence
that many of the men neglected their work at the
beginning of theweoebkligaedndt,ocoenmspegiouyenbtolyy,sattothmeaekneduoif)

disease of the jaws. He also explained the nature of the
percussion cap trade, and other trades to which the bill
would apply,
Mr CRUM.EWING considered that the bill would
remedy many defects in the existing Factory Ads, and
he hailed its introduction with great satisfaction.
Lord INGESTRE said he did not intend to oppose the
second reading of the bill, but when it was read a se-
cond time he should move that it be referred to a select
committee. He was so anxious that legislation should
take place that he put his opposition, if he might use such
a term, in the mildest form. It was only to some portions of
the bill which the right hon. gentleman proposed that he
had any objections at all. To the half time system he had a
great objection as being inapplicable to the potteries.
Mr. H. GRENFELL agreed with Lord Ingestrie that
the Bill should be referred to a select committee.
