TEXAS CHILD LABOR LAW.

With a view Of the enactment OF more rigid
laws governing child labor in Texas the uniform
child labor law, drafted by the national commit
tee IS being sent to members Of the Legislature
by the Texas Child Labor Committee with accom-
panyng and urgent request for favorable consid-
Grafton
The points which are most strongly empha.
sized are:
T. The need of an absolute 4-year-ag limit
for all gainiu occupations. Texas now prohibits
employment about machinery or in dangerous
occupations under ) years, and in mines OF quar-
RES under ! years but in general employments
Texas sets no limit whatever
2 The working day should be limited to
eight hours and night work prohibited for all
under 10 years. Texas is now OF the few
states setting no limit to hours OF work
). The Child Labor Committee points out
the need of school attendance law and educa-
tonal estate of children seeking employment
exas and only ten other states have no state wide
school attendance law.
The age limit of working children should
be enforced by full and careful provision for doc
umentary proof OF age other than parents afr
davit Moreover age limit alone is not a suff-
Gent safeguard of childrens welfare it should be
supplemented by a physical examination and
school record showing that the child has passed at
least the 9Th grade requirements
). The method OF giving out and recording
employment certificates is a vital part Of any child
labor law, and it is urged that in this respect. at
least the Uniform Child Labor Law be adopted
as il stands
