the commissioners witnesses to be
called to the stand. Judge Gray con-
Quoted his examination. He told that
his district comprises the counties Of
Lackawanna, Wyoming and Wayne,
and gave an outline of what his duties
consist of under the law.
Judge Gray asked him particularly
about the law requiring those between
the ages of thirteen and sixteen work.
ing in factories to be supplied with q
sworn certificate showing their ages
and setting forth that they can read
and write English. Mr. Bishop said
that when he goes into factory he
demands those certificates and looks
them over. IF he finds a boy or girl
between thirteen and sixteen who has
been employed without first producing
n certificate, he takes the employer to
task. Under the law 1t is his duty to
prosecute, but it is within his discretion
to forego prosecution If the employer
gives assurance he will not offend
again. He told of one instance I'm which
he prosecuted an employer for permit
ting a girl to work without first pre-
senting a certificate.
The certificates are, as rule. made
the peace. he said. and admitted the
magistrates are, in some instances, APP
parently very lax in issuing them. The
inspector is bound by the certificate.
the witness declared. Even though the
inspector is satisfied in his own mind
that the boy or girl is under age. he
can do nothing. He can not go behind
the certificate.
IN looking over the Pennsylvania
statutes on child labor, Monday, Judge
Gray found a law providing that no
person between the ages of thirteen
and sixteen shall be employed in a fac
tory or mill for more than nine calen
aar months of any one year. and then
not unless he or she has attended
school for three months of the year
Judge Gray read the law to the wit
ness and asked him if he knew OF it's
existence. Mr.. Bishop said he had no
knowledge of any such law. He pro-
duced Il circular from the state depart
merit of labor containing a digest Of
the laws pertaining to the duties of an
inspector, and no such law was mem
toned among them.
Judge Gray and a number of the
lawyers discussed this matter at some
length, and came to the conclusion that
this law must have been repealed by
provisions of the new general factory
inspector law and the compulsory edu-
cation law.
Retrogressive Legislation.
The judge said he hoped the legisla
ture would re-enact this law. if it is a
fact that it has been nullified. He did
not want to appear critical, but it
looked to him as If this was retro
gressive legislating.
There is nothing in the law, it de-
veloped. forbidding young children or
females from being employed at night
The judge thought this would also be
a good matter for the Legislature TO
take UP.
The attention of Inspector Bishop
was called to a clause of the factory
laws providing that not less than
forty five minutes shall be allowed en-

Since the displacement OF J. r. Renin
