WAR ON CHILD. LABOR
Rigid Inspection in Connection with
the School Laws,

Next week the state labor depart
ment will begin it's regular fall cam
paign against child labor in shops, fac
tories, stores and elsewhere. The first
Of the week a general inspection Of
Minneapolis will be undertaken by Dep
uty l.. P. Torgerson, inspector for the
state department.. All children under
Is years of age will be obliged to at
tend school if the conditions permit.
If they cannot attend school permits
will have to be shown as provided by
law.
The present state labor department
has come down hard on child labor, and
fewer children are working in the state
than ever before. Inspections always
follow the opening of the public schools
as there is a tendency for children to
remain at the work they have during
summer. .
This week has been allowed as a
period of grace to allow children time
to finish small jobs or to secure permits.
After this, tho. all children who have
not permits will be obliged to stop
work and 90 to school.
