THE WORKERS DEMOCRACY.

In showing the active campaign for
better conditions conducted by the
unions Of the country, it is not aniss
to state that they were instrumental
in having "a states follow the ez-
ample of the federal government by

lie employees and On public works,
which enable 100000 public servants
to enjoy a normal workday IN har-
mony with the 1000 900 industrial
toilers who obtained it by the
economic power Of the trade union.
Thirty-seven states have employers
liability laws. In II states the old
common law defence or fellow seTv-
ant" was abrOgated, and N seven
others it has been modified. Several
states have modified the common law

tributory negligence" and II state

plOyed to pick vegetables for a cannery,
and boys over i but under IA, may

extends the il year age limit and s.

facture of articles Of food, dolls, or
dolls clothing, and children's or in
fants' wearing apparel is absolutely

six other law passed by the recent
legislature deal with the child labor
problem. Children between IA and 10
years IN work in factories are TO be
subject TO physical examination by
medical inspectors; a provision already
in force in no other state except Mas
sachusetts. No child under 16 shall
receive his working papers unless he
presents a school certificate showing
that he has completed the sixth grade
in school or its equivalent, and the
method of issuing working papers is
standardized throughout the state.
THE labor department is completely

by eXempting its employees from civil
service rules, New York is in a fair
way TO cover the various phases Of the
child labor problem more effectually
than any other state.
