CHILDREN
Scarce In Akron
Shops.
Mr.. Watson Has Been
Visiting.
Child Labor Is Watched Closely
In Akron.

Trlnnt Officer Charles Watson has
been spending his Christmas vacation
in series OF visits to the Akron fac
tories, with u view to finding out if
children of school age are being emf
ployed In any of them. Mr. Watson
reports that he was greatly pleased
this year with conditions In the shops.
Not single case has been found
nS yet, this year, where Il youngster
had to be taken out of the shop. while
last year there were several cases
Mr. Watson has been greatly pleased
with the result of his visit thus far,
and says that conditions with refer
cnce TO child labor are better in Ak
ron than in almost any other city in
Ohio.
In some cities the State law is
Ignored. Children under the school
age work In the factories without any
attempt to bar them. Families with
children frequently move to Akron
from such places. and attempt to place
their children i'm the local shops. but
they sooner or later fail into the hands
of the Truant Officer.
y case Is cited of n family having
two boys, who recently moved TO Ak
ron. one of the boys was 10, and
the other II, ana neither had ever at
tended school, This family had come
from another Ohio city. with the ntpn
ton OF placing he boys in one of the
'ocal SHOPS, Mr.. Watson was placed
on the trail. with the result that both
are now attending school. The law
WIN reference to child labor is OBJ
served very closely in Akron.

Z Nnces me that this department of the

pose to take strikes of national unions
