EIGHT.HOUR DAY
ENOUGH FOR CHILD
LABOR COMMISSIONER MAKES
CONCENTRATIONS
State Official Sees Room for Improve
ment in Laws Pertaining to Employ
ment Of Children and Conditions
Under Which They Toll.

W. H. Williams of Minneapolis, state
labor commissioner, has completed that
portion of his biennial report which
takes up recommendations to the legis-
lature for his department.. His recon-
mendations ask for more stringent
laws against child labor, for broader
authority for the labor bureau, and for
larger appropriation. There are also
other recommendations for the better
ment Of existing conditions which Mr..
Williams believes should be changed.
With the increase Of manufacturing
industries and Of material wealth, says
comes more insistent and difficult of
regulation. In order that this regula-
ton may be the more efficiently &C.
complished it is necessary that the in
spectors of this department. be in COM
plete harmony with the school author
tiles of the state, and that they are also
informed as to whether or not minor
children are in attendance on the
schools. This could be best accom-
plished by the passage of law pro-
v1ding for school, census similar to
that of Wisconsin, or by the passage
Of an act absolutely prohibiting the
employment Of children under IA years
Of age, except during vacation Of pub
years Of age shall be employed at any
occupation unless he has finished the
studies prescribed by law, except dur
ing vacation of the public schools; pro-
vided, that if, on investigation, it is
found that the labor Of such child is
necessary for it's own support or that Of
a dependent family, that the school au-
thorities may issue permit for the
employment of children over Ia years
Of age, such permit, however, not to be
construed as permitting the employment
Of the child in any prohibited occupa-
tion, also making the standard day 8
work for children under 16 years Of age
eight hours.
