Salem, Jan. 1.-THE first biennial
report of the board of inspectors of
child labor to Governor Chamberlain
has been filed and is in part as fol-
lows:
The work of the board for the first
years has been mainly that of edu-
cation, there being but few violations
of the laws requiring more than one
notice. There has been little opposi-
ton to the purpose of the law, and
amendments, ebodying criticisms of
employers and parents are incorpor-
ated in this report.
Under the present system of affi-
davits the law is easily evaded, those
most persistent in it's violation being
the telegraph and messenger COM
panies, the enforcement of the law
being difficult on account of the
shifting character of the employment.
Experience suggests that there
should be some provision in the law
authorizing the board to exercise its
! Judgment in the issuance of permits
to children between the ages of IL and
Ia for certain kinds of employment
during the summer vacation, as there
are industries in our state in which a
child may be employed without detri-
ment to its health.
The largest number of children un-
der 16 years of age are found In the
department stores of Portland.
