says Owen r. .Lovejoy. general secre-
taay of the National Child Labor
committee, in speaking of the tenth
annual conference on child labor
which opens here tomorrow. THAT
Is why we are not trying to persuade
people at this conference that child
labor is bad. Instead, we are devot-
ing our attention to the problem of
law enforcement, for few people seem
to realize that passing child labor
law does not stop child labor unless
adequate means are taken to enforce
the law. This conference marks the
entrance of the National Child La
Dor committee into wider field of
activity, namely, the study or fac
tory inspection and the administra-
ton of labor laws, Never before
have we devoted an entire conference
to the general topic OF law enforce
ment.
