WOMEN CAN RUN
ELEVATORS NOW
State Industrial Board Makes
a Definite Ruling in Re-
~o gard to Their Work

There is no reason why women
above eighteen years of age may not
be employed as elevator operators
in department stores, apartment
houses and elsewhere according to
AN announcement made by DR.. John
Price Jackson, State Commissioner
of Labor and Industry, for the State
Industrial Board. The matter was
formally submitted to the board
from several sections of the state
and the board held that eighteen
years was the minimum legal age
for elevator operators, male or fe-
male.
The board has decided that the
child labor act of 1915 does not
permit the employment of minors
between IA and 18 as railroad sec
ton hands, a ruling made at the
request of a number of persons. 1t
has also been held that mo minor
under Is years of age shall be en-
ployed in any tanning establishment
where the employment specifically
pertains to the tanning process"
The action of the board in re-
gard to employment of women in
certain branches of explosive man
ufacturing plants has been sent out
and will be given practical tests.
