SIX TONS NEEDED
FOR THE FORMS
Start Off of the Child Labor
Law Enforcement Is Keep
ing Printers Busy

Six tons of paper has been received
b. State Printer Ray upon which he
will print the new forms and en-
ployment certificates. made necessary
by the enforcement of the Cox child
labor act on January /. 1916.
There will be two kinds of en-
ployment certificates necessary under
the new law; general and vacation.
General certificates are for those boys
and girls between the ages of fourteen
and sixteen who want to work the
entire year: the vacation certificates
are for those who want to work only
on the days when the public schools
are not in session.
Besides the working certificates.
there are many forms that must be
filled out and filed. A boy or girl who
wishes to secure a general working
certificate must first of all get a sign
ed promise of work from the pros
pective employer. This agreement
states that the employer will give the
child a position and that the child will
be permitted to attend a continuation
school at least eight hours a week
The next step is to procure from the
teacher of the school the child last
attended, a certificate of scholarship.
which must show that he attended
all the grades equivalent to six grades
of the public schools and has a liberal
education in the English language,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PLEA FOR p. o. CLERKS
he Editor Of the Telfgrdph:


l want to make a plea for something
new. but nevertheless worthy - a plea
for Christmas for Post Office clerks
such plea must be made to the people
because these clerks are public SER
wants with the people (the Govern
ment) as their masters.
To the mind of the uninitiated this
holiday may seem unnecessary, as the
public office hours are only from to 10
a. m. on Christmas Day. However
to the real working day of clerks. The
Christmas mail rush began Monday and
Will continue with undated fury until
Christmas. From the first long-dis-
office force knows only long hours and
hard work. | am speaking particular
ly of postal clerks, because, while car
riers have. as all the world knows.
they are protected by law from work
ing more than eight hours a day.
A clerk. however, under unusual con-
ditions, has no such compulsory limi
paid for 1t by the hour at a rate lower
than his salary basis. Clerks frequent
ly work twelve to fourteen hours a day,
starting often long before daylight
only fifteen or twenty minutes off for
lunch or dinner. these meals, of course.
being eaten at the office. After a week
of such hours. for example. from 6 a. m.
to 10 p. m, the Post Office clerk comes
to the holiday itself. He goes to bed. il
he be elderly. when he reaches home
but If he be a father of young children

tree and gets 70 bed at nearly mid
night He must of necessity arise on

he may be at the office about s or soon

spelling, reading, arithmetic, geo
graphy and history of the United
States.
The teacher also furnishes the child
With a medical examination card
which must be filled out by a physi-
cian approved by the district wherein
the child lives. The physician thor
oughly examines the boy or girl and
testifies as to his or her physical abil-
ity to do the work selected,
Then evidence of age must be Sc
cured from the bureau OF vital statis-
tics of the city or township where the
child was born. If the bureau can
not supply the correct age OF the
. child, then baptismal certificate or
tlsm may be obtained from the pastor
of his church.
All these certificates must then be
taken to the employment certificate
ONCE and presented here for appro-
val or disapproval. If the officer in
charge approves, then the general
certificate will be issued by the school
district. This is not given to the boy,
but is sent to the employer who keeps
| it on file all of the time the bow is
working for him. When the boy
leaves, the certificate is returned bv
mail to the employment certificate
office.
Three days after the employer re-
ceives the certificate, he fills out an
Acknowledgement from and sends il
to the officer who issued the working
permit.
Four days after the boy goes to
work the employer fills out another
form, which he sends to the school
authorities, showing the days of the
week, time of day, and the school.
that the boy will attend.
The vacation employment certifl-
Gates must be secured in the same
manner as a general certificate, ex-
cept that it will not be necessary to
obtain school record.
While 1t seems that a lot of un-
necessary red tape must be gone
through in order to secure certificate.
nevertheless these steps above ex-
planned are essential in order to do
justice to all of the children, and pre-
vent fraud.
Hitherto, in Pennsylvania, as in
most States, the working certificate
has been very easy to get Given di-
rectly to the child and not followed
up with any great care. the result was
that many children left school with
out going to work at all, or after
working brief period quit for year
or more of idleness.
In some cities employment certifi-

Fish Wardens Are Trying to
Check the Sources of Pol
luton of Stream

Wardens of the State Department
of Fisheries have started their work
of checking up sources of pollution
which means patrolling the banks Of
streams. along the Juniata, Clarion
and Sinnemahoning rivers, Broad
heads and Slippery Rock creeks and
streams in Berks, Lancaster and Co.
lumbia counties. These men will work
throughout the winter and as soon as
one stream is covered attention will
be given to others. General surveys of
some of the main tributaries of the
Susquehanna, Allegheny Schuylkill
and Lehigh rivers have been under
way for some months and as rapidly
as the streams now under inspection
are covered the men will be trans
ferred.
According to officials of the depart
ment, manufacturers, coal operators
and others whose works have been
found polluting the streams are agree
ing to filter drainage and have ar
ranged to install filters. In the last
few days the department has sent out
prints and data of the filter system to
manufacturers located in Tioga, War
rem, Bedford. Forest and Erie counties
consisting of the following: Proctor

pany, Elk Tanning Company, in Tloga

Hereafter, following the better

must return to school, not the old
