Since 1875 there has been a steady
diminution in the number of children
especially those between u and IA
employed in the factories of Berlin.
This is due to the rigorous enactments

which the inspectors of factories are
aided by the police. Employers find,
too, that adult labor can now be OBJ
tanned at rates not much above those
that are paid to children, and is in all
respects, except cost, far more desirable.
