TRIES TO SHIELD CHILD EMPLOYERS.
Defence in Suits Says Foremen, Not Com
panies, Are to Blame
IsY TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1nUNE.l

Trenton n. J., Aug. Novel defences made
to-day to two suits instituted by the Attorney Gen
eral for Lewis T. Bryant. Commissioner of Labor
of New-Jersey, for violation of the child labor
laws prohibiting the employment of children under
fourteen years of age in factories of the State.
In a suit against the Mercer Pottery Company it
contended that the law should be literally
strued and the employer exonerated unless it could
be shown that he knowingly employed a child
below the legal age and that there were no cir
cumstances to justify belief that it was above
the age Judge Macpherson held that this conten-
ton was without force, since the law requires that
af1davits and proofs Of for all children under
sixteen shall be filed with the department of labor.
Another point of the defence that the child
not employed by the company directly, but by
the foreman of a department.
In another against the United Oil Cloth
Company, it said that child who had been
working for time had not been employed by
authority of the company because the manager,
who usually employs help was absent in New
