lice Court. The case was prosecuted
by Miss l.. NJ Barbour, of the State
Department of Labor.
These girls, after working at their
regular places Of employment, were
given additional work by this COM
pany. SFnder the law. females are not
permitted to be employed more than
ten hours in any twenty-four. and the
fact that the Lorillard Company did
not employ them but for few hours
did not remove their liability under
the statute. The Labor Department
claimed that employers should ascer-
tain first If the girls and women given
work by them at night have been en-
ployed in other places during the day
for the fun time allowed by law.
Because he permitted his boy to
work when he VAS financially able
to take care of him. Robert E,ston
lewis. faher OF Eson Lewis, under
fourteen years of age, was yesterday
fined s25 and costs in the Police
Court. Under the statute of 1914,
children under the age of fourteen
are not allowed 10 have employment,
unless II is necessary to the support
of some members OF their family. In
this case yesterday it was shown that
the father of the Lewis boy was we'll
able to care fo- him.
