CHILD LABOR TO BE STOPPED.
A Factory inspector in Paterson Discovers
Many Violations of Law.


PATERSON. N. j.. Aug. 20.-Under orders from
his chief. Deputy Factory Inspector John
Hunter has been waging q campaign against
the mill owners Of this city who employ child
labor. While it has been generally known that
the law was vio,at | in many mills. 1t has been
difficult to secure evidence against offenders.
When a factory inspector visited the mill. the
children under age were hustled together and
taken from the mill by rear entrance. so that
everything appeared correct when he made his
rounds. Inspector Hunter determined to pro-
coed on new lines. and for this purpose dis
guised himself as a laborer and went to the
vicinity OF the suspected mills at the noon
hour. wheeling a barrow. He would stop to
rest in front Of a mill and talk to the many
little children who emerged. Their employers
passed him by without recognition. and he
soon secured all the evidence he needed.
