ton Mills,

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 19.-The
child labor question is up for Discus
sion just now in the capital city, there
being here men and women represen-
ing most every feature of the situa
ton. The child labor committee Of
the state, of which Edger Gardner
Murphy is member, and DR.. B: J.
Balwin, Of Montgomery, chairman,
met at the residence of DR.. Bald
win and blocked out a bill. G. w.
Pratt, of Pell City, president of the
Alabama Cotton Manufacturers asso-
citation, came to the city to discuss
with the governor a bill which has
been prepared under the auspices of
his organization.
The bill of the Alabama committee
provides that boys under IA, and girls
under 16 years of age, shall not be
worked in the mills, unless they be
orphans, or sole support of widowed
parents. In that case they may work
down to 12. No children of any age
are to be worked more than so hours
a week nor eight hours a night.
Neither are they to be worked more
than eleven hours in any one day,
and the bill further provides for an
inspector Of mills and factories at a
salary of 81, 800 a year and $500 a
year for expenses.
The bill prepared by Mr.. Pratt and
his associates follows the Georgia law
in most sections. The age limit is
ID with the minimum of IL for chill
dref who have to support themselves
or INDECENT parents Each child who
goes into the mills must have gone
TO school at least twelve weeks in the
year before, six of which must have
been continuous. The law is to ap-
ply to mines and all other industries
in the state the same as to mills and
factories. The bill is all that any of
the adherents of child labor legisla-
ton ask with enlargement of scope
to take in all industriesk Cover
nor Conner, who is one of the largest
mill men Of the state, is said to be in
favor of the Pratt bill.
