New Laws on Child 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 iegis-
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 /, 1917, all minors
under seventeen years Of age must Sc
cure permits to 60 to work. The only
exceptions are for farm work, for do
nestle service Of casual nature, and
Tor 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-
Vlded that children up to eighteen years
or age must secure permits. It also
provided that the act should go into ef-
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 1t to
make the permit age seventeen instead
OF eighteen years and not to have the
new law become effective until Sep
TENDER !. 1917.
Old 6ystesn Confusing
All permits hereafter are to be issued
by the industrial commission and by
sucn Judges and other persons as the
commission may designate to issue
permits. Previously, county and NM
nicpal judges have had joint authority
with the commission to issue child
labor permits. This dual system led
TO much confusion and frequently per-
mits were issued illegally with the re-
suit that the employers of such chill
dren@ subjected themselves to heavy
penalties. Arrangements are now be-
Ing made by the commission for the
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 81 hours
per day on five days of the week, pro-
vided they were given Saturday after
moons off. Under the new law.
straight elght-hour day for children un-
der sixteen years of age is provided,
with limit of 48 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 it has
been five per week, hereafter it 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.

Farmers Act In Slio Campaign.

The silo building campaign waged
by the college of agriculture and the
county councils Of defense is resulting
In widespread movement to conserve
this years corn crop.
Wisconsin's present quota Of 10000
silos or one to every third farm, will
be greatly increased over the ratio Of
any previous year. Agricultural agents
even hope for $4,000 silos before the
end Of 1918.
In response to inquiries by X. L.
Hatch, director Of the agricultural ex-
tension service, and A. w. Hopkins,
secretary Of the Livestock Breeders
association, manufacturers have sent
assurances that prices will not be
greatly advanced over former years
and that there will be sufficient mate
rial to meet the demand
Wisconsin bankers are repeating
their promises to loan money for silo
construction. The bankers stand is
backed by an appeal to farm patriot
ism and business sense by Magnus
Swenson, chairman Of the state cOun-
ell Of defense.
Managers Of creameries and cheese
factories are inclosing with their
monthly cream and milk checks in
