Many applications for appointment
TO the position of Child Labor Inspec-
tor, under the new law passed by the
last Legislature are being received
by the Child Labor Commission.
There are more than two
hundred verbal and written ap-
plications for the inspectorship,
which is to pay $500 year for two
years. The Commission will meet on
Saturday and may make a selection
then, although there is as much prob
ability that the appointment may not
be made until late in January The
new law goes into effect tomorrow,
and the Commission has thirty days
within which to appoint an inspec-
tor. The new child labor law Is more
specific than the old law and the
Commission will see that it is en-
forced. II is understood that en-
ployers of child labor will be given
2 reasonable opportunity to adapt
conditions to the new law, it being
the desire to bring about an amicable
compliance with the law wherever
possible. For the information OF par
