New Laws on child Labor.

WV GdNS On (fillU LABOR
One of the new laws of Wisconsin
that is beginning TO attract statewide
interest is the new child labor law.
This measure attracted very little
attention In either house of the legis-
lature and was passed without any OPP
position. Now. however. many In
Quiries are coming to the industrial
commission upon the scope of the new
law, and many manufacturers are en-
deavoring to ascertain what they must
do to comply with Its provisions.
Permits for Minors.
The most important change made is
that after September 1. 1917. all minors
under seventeen years of age must Sc
cure permits TO go to work. The only
exceptions are for farm work. for do
nestle service of casual nature, and
for other kinds of domestic service in
cities In which there are no vocational
schools. Under the old law only chill
dren up TO sixteen years of age had to
secure permits As originally passed
by the legislature. the new law pro-
yided that children up to eighteen years
OF age must secure permits. 1t also
provided that the act should go into eff
feet immediately upon passage. Upon
representation by the industrial COM
mission that these provisions would
work great hardships TO employers, the
governor refused TO sign this measure
until the legislature had amended II to
make the permit age seventeen instead
of eighteen years and not to have the
new law become effective until Sep
TENDER l. 1917.
Old System Confusing.
All permits hereafter are to be issued
by the industrial commission and by
such judges and other persons as the
commission may designate To issue
permits Previously, county and mu-
nicipal judges have had joint authority
with the commission to issue child
labor permits. This dual system led
TO much confusion and frequently per-
mits We're issued Illegally with the re-
suit that the employers Of such chill
dren subjected themselves TO heavy
penalties. Arrangements are now be-
appointment of judges and other per
sons In each community to issue child
labor permits.
Another change made by the new
law is that striking out the provision
of the old law allowing employers to
work children of permit age St5 hours
per day on five days of the week. pro-
vided they were given Saturday after
Moons Off. Under the new law, a
straight eight-hour day for children un-
der sixteen years Of age is provided.
with a limit of IS hours per week.
increase Schooling Hours.
The legislature has also Increased
the hours per week during which chill
dren working under permits must go to
continuation school Hitherto II has
been Eve per week, hereafter ii will be
eight per week for children under six
teen years Of age and four per week
for children from sixteen to seven
/ teen years of age.

/ PORTLAND, oct. 8.-Very heavy
gains in the swine market at North
Portland had their effect upon the
price. Total receipts in that division
OF the yards during the six days were
1921, the greatest for any recent
week. While there was a so to 75c
advance in hogs at the opening of the
week despite the unusually heavy run
for Monday, still there continued a
liberal showing Of supplies all through
the six days' period Monday the mar
ket advanced to $3.50, with one load
at the extreme point and several loads
at $18.25 D1S.35. The market on
Tuesday began to show signs Of dizzi-
ness, for the big packers were filled
and, with their immediate require
ments taken care of. naturally they
were mot disposed to take hold of ad-
ditional supplies and pay extreme
prices, besides adding to the cost by
high priced feeding until the swine
were needed.
Octside packers failed to support
the market after Monday; in fact, de-
spite the talk of sellers at some other
points these same packers refused to
take hold here at any price, thereby
indicating that they needed nothing
Immediately.
1t was nothing but mere exhibi
tion of supply and demand and there
is nothing in the wind to indicate that
the market will not open up steady at
least during the coming week.

week showed a moderate volume, but
so much stuff came forward during

of offerings was indicated in the

at the election, states that the de-

him, as it is this class of voters that
defeated him and won for me the
nomination at the primaries, as per-

my campaign for election as alder
