RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR
OVERWoRKED PIN BOYS

The under-age pin boy will no
longer find immunity in private bowl
ing alleys if the new child labor bill,
which was recently completed by the
Chicago Child Saving league, is en-
acted into law by the present general
assembly. Heretofore the alleys of
Clubs have been immune from the at
lacks of the factory inspector.
The bill, which is one of the most
stringent of its kind ever framed,
also prohibits the employment of
children under IA years old in any
concert hall, theatre er place of
amusement where Intoxicating Ii
quors are sold, or to pursue gainful
occupation in any establishments.
1t is also provided that no child UNI
der If years of age shall be employed
at any work performed for wages or
other compensation, to whomsoever
payable during the hours when the
public schools are in session. Neither
can a child under legal age be en-
ployed at any work whatever before
g o'clock in the morning or after 10
O'Clock at night. He cannot be re-
CURED to work over 10 hours a day,
and no employer shall be permitted
to hire any child between the ages of
II and 10 years without first having
secured an age and school certificate
which shall be approved by the super
intendent of schools or by any per
son authorized by him in writing.
Every employer will be required to
keep register, in which shall be re-
corded the name, age and place OF
residence of every child employed by
him. Both the certificates and the
records are to be accessible to the
state factory inspector.
