new Child LABOR
LAW TO Be URGED
Inspector Grantland Says
Present Statute is Entire
ly Too Complicated
NOT FEASIBLE FOR
THIS STATE, he SAYS
stan Correspondent.

DOVER. Jan. 3-Former Speaker
Charles II. Grantland. Of Wilmington.
child labor inspector, who was a Wis
itor at the Legislature today, stated
that an effort will be made TO get an
entirely new child labor law az this
session OF the General Assembly.
"What Is the matter with the pres
ent law" Inspector Grantland was
asked.
WELL" he replied. "tbe commission
thinks the present law IS too lengthy
and entirely too complicated. II was
prepared by lot Of theorists from
New York, with the idea in view of
eventually making it t uniform law
in all States"
This plan, Mr. Gnantland stated,
would not be feasible. as conditions
are so much different here from what
they are in New York and most other
States. The law as II now stands, Mr.
Grantland stated, is so complicated
that It would take a corps Of lawyers
to figure Il out and then they would
not know whether they were right.
There are many sections of the law,
he contends, that are entirely useless
Inspector Grantland stated that tn,
Child Labor Commission at a receji
meeting unanimously authorized him q,
90 ahead and prepare new bin an,
that the commission win hold a specia
meeting on January l2 TO consider tn
new bill
Mr. Grantland has prepared the pro
posed bill, but says he could not tell o.
new features or changes until the com
mission has officially acted on it, as i
is possible they may not approve of tn
bill a- he has prepared it.
