Cannot Employ Children.

There will be a boom IN the de-
mand for common labor ell over the
State between now and September
10th as the result of the enforce
ment Of the factory law regulating
the employment of children under
sixteen years of age. Beginning
with next month there will be a strict
enforcement Of the law by Factory
Inspector Campbell, and thousands,
Of boys will be out of work. The
law is . companion Of the new com.
pulsory school law, and thousands
Of children under sixteen years who
have worked in mills, factories and
shops since they were mere babes
will have to 60 to school.
The number of children employed
in the mills and factories of Penn.
sylvania is not known, as their iden>
tity is not easily discovered through
pay roll, but the aggregate will
run away up in the thousands. The
change will work hardship in some
cases, a. the children are very helps
ful to their parents, but the enforce
ment OF the law leaves no discretion
to employers. The wedding out oi
boys in the iron and steel mills,
especially, will provide for the EN-,
ployment Of many laborers.

1t is rumored that the County
Commissioners will lay flag stone
pavements in front of the court
house yard, along Main and Muncy
streets. The flags will be taken from
the Sonestown quarry and are guar.
anteed to last life time, hence this
move on the part of the commission
ers will save for the tax payers
many dollars, as wooden pavements
must be repaired often and rebuilt
every five or six years.
