MEMBER LABOR BILL

Continued From First Page.(
able Harvey Hoffecker, chairman Of
said committee, and Honorable Wal
ter Rash secretary.
THAT your committee held a meet
ing in the Council Chamber of the
City Hail. in the City of Wilmington,
or the twenty-third day of January,
A. d. 1915, to investigate and inquire
into the Child Labor Commission, at
which meeting all the subscribers,
members of said committee, were
present, and at which meeting all the
members oil the Delaware Child Labor
Commission. with the exception OF
lrenee DUPONT, were present
THE committee met at 1O.4O IN
the morning, and with short recess
for lunch and another short recess
for dinner, finished its investigation
cn the same day.
'Such testimony was taken from
the various members of the Delaware
Child Labor Commission, from the
late State Child Labor Inspector, VIII
liam J. Gibbons and from various
other persons, which testimony is OF
such voluminOus character that your
committee deems it inadvisable to en-
/ body the same in its report.
From the testimony so taken the
conclusion has been reached by your
committee that the Delaware Chile
Labor Commission as it is now consti-
/ tuted, consisting of eight members, Is
too large to best serve the interests o
the State as an instrument in carrying
out the provisions of the Uniform
Child Labor Law
your committee has also arrived
at the conclusion that the best inter
ests of the State shall be served b!
having:
"First-A commission composed o
three members, to be appointed b,
the Governor. one of such members 4
be a resident of Sussex county.
Second-That the State Child Labo
Inspector shall be appointed by tn
governor.
your committee, therefore, pre-
sents and recommends the adoption @
! two bills, which it has drawn the frs
being bill entitled "An Act to amen
: Chapter 3S, of the Revised Code of tn
State of Delaware, in relation to tn
+ Delaware Child Labor Commission
The second bill entitled An Act
amend Chapter 80, of the Revise
& Code of the State Of Delaware, pre-
n viding that the state Child Labor II
T. spector shall be appointed by tn

Quoted by this committee into the ac-
tion of the Delaware Child Labor
Commission in dismissing Child La
Dor Inspector, William ]. Gibbons,
without first granting him the privi-
lege of answering the charges pre-
ferred against him upon which his
dismissal was based, has failed to
show that the charges made against
him by the commission was suostan-
tiated; and
Whereas, II developed at the in

mission that Mr.. Gibbons was dis

tor. The amendment offered by Mr.
Hart was defeated by party vote OF

the Republicans against II. The orlgl-
nal report was then adopted by party

and be spread upon the journal.
Senator Honecker opposed this mo-
tion and Senator Gormley asked 10
know his reason for not wanting the
minority report spread on the journal
Senator Hoffecker stated that It mad
been decided, in the committee meet
ing that il would be best not to brina

of the Child Labor Commission as

Senator Gormley replied that The
