with about $4,000 members, In the

total membership OF 497. 665. OF the

Employment of children has been

lature amended the act to provide that
no child under sixteen be allowed to
work in any factory except between
o'clock and 5, or for more than eight
hours in any day or six days in
week. The latest revision provides
that no male minor under eighteen
may be employed In any factory more
