PROGRESSIVE MEXICO
One State in Turbulent Re-
public Has Some Model
Labor Laws.

I Yucatan is a Mexican state, proJec-
ting into the Gulf of Mexico, 200 miles
east of Vera Cruz and in the same
latitude as the City of Mexico. 1t is
very progressive state and is SHOW
ing what Mexico can do if it gets rid
of Villa and the old order of land ten
ures. She has child labor laws and
compulsory arbitration. Her schools
and her industries are rapidly in
creasing. In fact, she has reached
state that she can, in many respects,
be pattern to any state in this coun-
try. When a country treats its Wo-
men well it is on the upgrade. Here
are two sections from the 4ucatan
laws that speaks volumes for the
whole of that country:
Article TIT is forbidden for wo-
men to work 80 days before becoming
mothers and during the 80 days fol-
lowing; but they must receive their
complete salary during this time and
their position must be reserved for
them.
Article S0-In positions where wo-
men are employed there must be a
lpecial floor in state of perfect sani-
tation, in which women may give
nourishment to their babieS-15 min
ltes every two hours-without said
intervals of time being deducted from
the time allotted for rest.
Match any legislation in this coun-
try with this law, if you can. Prior
to the recent revolution in Mexico the
people there were in abject servitude.
"After the enactment of the land
laws" says Mr.. ROLAND, eve framed
the labor legislation on the best mod
els we could find in New Zealand and
other parts of the world, modified to
fit the conditions of Yucatan. We
have minimum wage provisions and
an eight-hour law, compensation for
injuries Of workmen and provision for
their old age. Children under 13
cannot be employed in factories or
any other establishment. Boys under
Is and girls under IS cannot work
nights. All places of employment
must be sanitary and protected
against fire risks and all machinery
must be protected. Compulsory ar
oitration of labor disputes is provided
~ law before workers can strike or
Employers lock them out.-Ohio State |
