STRIKING GAINS IN
CHILD LABOR LAWS
OFF Year For Legislation, but
Children Not Neglected.
EDUCATION LAWS IN SOUTH.

A new compilation OF child labor
laws which viii be issued shortly by
the National Child Labor Committee
contains the legislation enacted in 1915
Although this last year was reac-
tionary one for social welfare legisla-
ton. the National Child Labor Com
mittee feels that there were some strik-
ing gains in child labor laws.
Two states which have hitherto defied
all efforts to raise their standards
Pennsylvania and Alabama-have
yielded TO the pressure of public opin-
ion. Alabama has q fourteen year
limit for all gainful occupations. to go
into effect In September. 1916, instead
of her former twelve year limit for
factories only. A sixteen year limit
for dangerous occupations is included
in the law. as well as twelve year
limit for boys and an eighteen year
limit for girls in street work.
The striking feature of Pennsylva-
MAS new law is the continuation
school clause. which requires children
of fourteen and fifteen who are regu-
larly employed to attend continuation
schools eight hours week. Other i'm
portant features are the twenty -one
year limit for night messengers, phys
deal examination and the completion of
tie sixth grade before work permit
can be secured. and the regulation of
street work.
Michigan had an unusual experience.
The age limit for common gainful oc-
equations was raised from fourteen to
fifteen AT THE REQUEST OF THE
EMPLOYERS. The bill was drafted
and the campaign directed by them
In addition to raising the age limit. 1t
raises the grade which a child must
complete before a work permit can be
secured from the fourth to the sixth
grade
Compulsory education laws were
passed by three southern states. The
Florida and South Carolina laws are
local option only, but the Texas law
is state wide.
NNillothAd anu lOMd pAItiibtilcHtu
their laws by including provisions for
the regulation of street work and the
night messenger service. In addition
to the street work clause Iowa passed
an eight hour day for children under
sixteen and strengthened her work
permit provisions. A written statement
from the employer, saying that he in
tends to employ the child, Is now
necessary before a child can secure a
work permit. A similar clause was
Incorporated this year In the Rhode
Island law and street work pro
vision enacted establishing twelve
year limit for boys and sixteen year
limit for girls engaged in selling news
papers or merchandise.
Nevada created the office of labor
commissioner to enforce the child labor
law, and Wyoming enacted nine hour
day for children under fourteen In all
gainful occupations. In fact. there was
gain in every state but one Of those
which passed laws this year affecting
children. Tennessee weakened its law
by exempting canneries from prac-
tically all provisions of the law. But
an attempt TO repeal the Arkansas law
was defeated. so that, on the whole,
the National Child Labor Committee
feels that the child labor legislation of
1915 represents steady progress.

HONEST INSPECTOR
NOT ENCOURAGED
Local Juries Won't Convict, Says
Mrs. Florence Kelley.
SHE WANTS A FEDERAL LAW.

!
Child labor laws will not be enforced
until there is federal law which the
government will enforce. So Mrs.
Florence Kelley told the Eleventh An
nual Conference ON Child Labor at its
recent San Francisco meeting. During
her wide and varied experience Mrs.
Kelley has accumulated many exam
pies of why state child labor law
can never be properly enforced and
why the federal government must take
hand In 1t.
After state child labor law is on
the statute books the difficulties of the
inspectors are only a part of the obsta-
cles that confront the state In getting
that law enforced. If an inspector
works very hard he is commonly re-
moyed-that is. If he works hard and
honestly and ably. / have watched in
spectors working hard. honestly and
ably being removed for tiiifty- three
years. One wlp does not work hard
and ably and honestly will probably be
removed anyhow when the politics of
the state changes.
while the inspector is working hard.
ably and honestly it is exceedingly diff
ficult to get law enforced, If prosecu-
ton Is required. because local magis-
trates are usually reluctant to enforce
1t and local jnries to uphold it. Some
years ago we were prosecuting in Chi
cago certain sweater who had EN-
ployed sixteen girls illegally. A dozen
witnesses We're subpoenaed. and they
ali swore cheerfully that the law had
been kept. although they knew that
they had been working Illegally that
day.
"The Justice thought 1t n merry Jest
that we could not get warrants against
those perjured witnesses. He said. II
| We're going to choke my office up
with perjury suits against witnesses
In minor eases we would not get any
business done, so those perjured wit
.nesses went scot free"
AS further illustration Mrs. Kelley
spoke Of the difficulty the New York
State Department of Labor has expert,
enced In the past two years in prose
cutting Gamers. The trouble was not
with perjured witnesses there, but with
local juries. The local juries would
not convict becarse most of them were
farmers who sell their goods to the
cannerlcs and had no idea of partici-
pating IN the punishment Of their Gus
toniers. THAT condition Is so wide
spread throughout New York. New .Ter.
sey. Maryland and Delaware" said
Mrs. Kelley. that there is no present
hope Of enforcing the child labor law
in the cannerIes of those states with
local jurors in local courts
II do not share the millennial belief
that we shall in any near future have
our laws obeyed by the agreement of
employers and employees in industries
in which the employees are unorganiz-
ed Laws are obeyed only where there
are powerful organizations Of workers
to compel obedience. But where there
is body of helpless aliens. as In most
sweated industries. or in remote vii
lagos far from the searchlight 1t will
take great deal of evidence to con
vince me that all employers will vol
unfairly obey the child labor law. Our
immediate need Is the passage of
federal child labor law to enable the
federal government to enforce the
law"
