WANTS BILL VETOED.
Child Labor Committee Appeals To
GOvernar GOldsbOrOugh IN Behalf
Of Factory Children.

Under the caption 'Spare the Can
neries and Spoil the Child" DR.. Ed
ward N. Chopper, the National Child
Labor Committee's secretary for the
northern states, today wrote Governor
Goldsborough urging him to veto the
bill reducing the age limit for can
merry children from IL to 10 years.
DR.. Clopper refers to the fact that
three of the leading cAnnery states
New York, Ohio and Illinois apply
the same age limit to canneries as to
other factories. He notes also that
while the Maryland Legislature has
taken this backward step, Kentucky
has been moving into the front rank
among all the states with her new
child labor law. The letter follows:
New York, March 26, 1914.
Hon. Phillips L. Goldsborough, Gov
ernor of Maryland, Annapolis, Nd.
Sir:-The National Child Labor Com
mittee respectfully urges you to veto
the bill recently passed by the Mary
land Legislature providing for the
reduction of the age limit for the EN-
ployment of children in csnneries
from II to 10 years.
We view the passage of this bill
with alarm because of the possibilities
for exploitation of little boys and
girls which it would open up. States
where the canning industry has large
interests as New York, Ohio, Illinois
and Others have repudiated the story
that the canneries should enjoy more
privileges in the matter of child la
bor than other lines Of work, and have
set the same age limit for such occu-
pations as for other kinds of factory
work, namely Ia years. In fact,
the State of Ohio now has an age
limit of is years for boys and l6
years for girls in this work as well
as in all other gainful occupations.
Kentucky has just passed a new
child labor law which provides ID
year age limit for the canneries as
well as other industries and fixing
an eght hour work day for sll chill
dren under Is years. You will recall
that New York State until last year
made an Exemption in favor of eau
neries, but found through bitter ex-
nerience that this was most unwise
and const quently repealed that exemp-
tion.
We understand that many of the
canneries of Maryland are in favor of
the l2-year age limit for children and
hae actually appeared before the Leg
islature at Annapolis protesting
against the adoption of the l0-year
limit. We earnestly hope you will
see your way clear to veto this bill,
which we regard as vicious measure
and thereby retain Maryland's posi-
tion in the field of child protection.
Inssmuch as YOU State now fixes
a 14-year limit for most gainfui oc-
cuuations and grants special exemp-
tion in favor of the Gamers, of IL
vesrs for children, we see no reason
whv this exemption should be allow
ed to exploit children of the tender
age of 10 years.
