MAKING EFFORT FOR
CHILD LABOR LAW
n. II. Jones, Special Agent National
Child Labor Committee, in State
and is Directing the Cam
paign for this Law.

Little Rock, April 3.-An effort is
being made to initiate a child labor
law in Arkansas, and petitions are
now being circulated. n. II. Jones.
special agent of the National Child
Labor Committee, has just come to
the state from the National Confer
ence on Child Labor in New Orleans
and is directing the campaign.
"The present law in Arkansas" saws
Mr. Jones, " is for all purposes as bad
as the laws in the Cardinals, Alabama
or Georgia, which are disgrace to
the nation. Every bit of vitality in it
is destroyed by exemptions. Thefact
that child labor is not now as serious
a problem in this state as in some
others, is no excuse for our being in
different to the need for better protec-
tive legislation. 1t is probably much
more serious right now than some of
US realize, and now is the time to get
a good child labor law instead of
waiting blindly until the evil grows
and testers, as most of the states have
done"
The bill which has been prepared
in the form Of a petition under the in
itiative and referendum law, was
drafted by the State Federation of La
Dor in cooperation with the National
Child Labor Committee. 1t is based
upon the Uniform Child Labor Law
drafted four years ago by the United
States Commissioners on Uniform
Legislation, and endorsed by the
American Bar Association. Though
much more concise, itc ontains the
principal provisions of this law.
