CHILD LABOR LAW ADMINISTRATION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Ny attention has been called 70 a letter on
the subject Of child labor. by Heber Wells, Deputy
Factory Inspector Of New-Jersey. published in your
issue OF the l4th with accompanying editorial re-
marks Mt Wels's suggestion Of method OF
procedure IN the prosecution Of offences against the
child la Dor and factory laws is well worthy Of con-
stderattor but l am more concerned, for the mo-
1nent with the correction of minor error into
which he has fallen He says: Il judge from what
I read n The Tribune that considerable difficulty
found in New-York State in the administration Of
the child labor laws results from the fact that com
plants for violations get smOthered IN the district
Attorneys office through an accumulation OF oth5r
business or from some other cause so Tar IS TINS
leash that the District Attorney even assigned a
eDecal assistant 10 take up and prosecute all such
cases that might be brought This was IN April
last but until a few days ago the State Labor
Commissioner, John McMaCkn. did not once call
rIDon him 10 prosecute child labor case although
according 10 Mr.. McMackin's published statement,
5O6 minors were found working illegally III more
than one thousand Establishments il the counties
Of NeW-York and Kings in the course OF the first
I,aar during which the law has been in operation
ne mart Of the manufacturer, his superintendent,
managers or foremen" IS the cause assigned by the
Com missioner for ''vsSy many of these violations.
Ant tOnorance II is weN known, Il in the
eve OF the law, and in this case the law itself pro
tides that copy shall be posted conspcuously in
every establishment affected by Il Moreover, many
