FOURTEEN YEARS
LIMIT IN VIEW
CHILD LABOR COMMITTEE
WOULD A LAW.
CHAIRMAN QUOTED
Joseph Mccullough of Greenville
Discusses Effect ON Cotton
Mills of State.

Following Is q statement issued
Tuesday by the national child labor
committee from its Office in New York
city: 3
There are e'x States In the Union
which have nc 14-year limit for fac
tories and South Carolina Is one OF
them. Joseph A. Mccullough OF Green.
Vile. who has called o conference on
December 20 for the discussion OF
child labor and compulsory education
legislation. hopes that this next year
VIII see South Carolina pess from the
side OF the small minority over to the
side OF the large majority by prohibit
Ing the employment Of children under
II.
THE textile interest will no doubt
oppose II this year, as 1t did last year,
unless accompanied by a compulsory
education law, on the ground that the
sndustry needs 12-year-old children tu
compete with the textile industries of
North Carolina, Alabama and Missis-
sippi. and upon tie further ground
that to turn tho children Out Of the
mills will create an idle class In the
community. The children are reGuir-
ed to attend school.
"Mr. Mccullough does not concur in
the idea athat o 14-year limit for chill
drsn will be q death blow TO industry,
F1rfyTtwo States out Of 4S States
have accepted. the 14-year. standard,
and there Is no use arguing that It Is
not perfectly sound. Factories do NO;
fail or NOV, to other States .becauae OF
restrictions placed On the employment
OF children. Manufacturers like to talk
about 1t, but 1t doesn't really happen.
Adjustment to new requirements
quickly takes place, and after O short
time the employer discovers that his
older workers r more efficient thar
the 1~2-year-old children he formerly
employed and that his increase In out
put exceeds his wage increase.
81 heard recently OF two mills In
G town In Alabama, discovered by the
national child labor committee, which
shows what a be done when O man.
ufacturer refuses to employ young
children. One mill employs no chill
dTen under II, Is well equipped, run
ming full time aud making money. The
other employs 1~2-year-old children, Is
poorly equipped and can aot oxford To
run more than half the time. You will
say TINT this Is due to better manage
ment, not to the fact that children are
not employed. ThatEf siust fhe roiit
Coed ,nanagement AAsizes that oni.
Ulovment Of children means waste AM
|inefh cheney. and in some Cases refuses
10 employ them. Poor management
sees only that children ara apparent
ly cheaper. but It is. criminal 20 hun,or
moor management at the cost OF chill,
dren's physical. mental and n.orai de.
velonment.'
