For the first time in it's series OF

day failed to secure convictions.
Commissioner James b. Doherty was

cases against r d. Knowles and David
G. George, who We're indicted for fur
nishing false statements of their chill
drens ages to the employers.
However. in the case of the Danville
Knitting Mills, the defendant pleaded
guilty of the charge of employing fe-
males for a longer period than ten
hours in one day, and the maximum
fine Of $40 was imposed.
1t is exceedingly difficulty. COM
missioner Doherty points out, to secure
evidence In cases like that of these
parents.
Inspectors go into mills and sec chi
