New Law in Iowa.

1.-THE Harris-Emery case is the first
in Iowa holding that a minor is inca
|pable Of asserting to tn provisions OF
the workmen's compensation law and
holding the employer liable even
though the minor employee and her
parents made Misrepresentation as to
the age Of the employee" said Mr.,
Boyd.
Heretofore a great many school au-
thorities, employers OF minors, n
parents. who have children seeking
euployment have felt that Iowa labor
laws with reference to the employ
ment of children of school age We're
next to a dead letter. This decision
will make school authorities
careful in issuing work permits specl-
fyjng the age of the child.
II viii make employers Of minors
more careful in investigation of the
facts relating t the employees age,
and will tend to lessen child laeor.

it is no defense Of the employer to say

This part Of the decision is in &C.

What it Says and Means.

Wnat IL Gays ana WcdhS.
The compensation act to the cas-
ual reader seems to any minor
working for wages, but the supreme
court OF Iowa says the employment is
a matter of contract, and If one Is too
young to make a contract, o waive
one employed. nothing happens to
change the old principles Of law.
1t says that neither party a be
bound by the terms of the compensa-
ton act, which is a legislative at
tempt to engraft on to the contract Of
employment the provisions therein
contained. unless each party can law
fully consent to those provisions.
1t holds that a minor is incapable
OF giving consent to the provisions OF
the compensation and in this re-
spect the Iowa court follows the courts
of New Jersey and Wisconsin.

BURDEN PLACED FIRMLY
Employers Held to Know Age and

in Child Labor Law.

"A recent deceision Of the Iowa
preme court is of great importance to
all employers of youths, as well a. to
the persons employed" said j. 0.
Boyd, today in the hearing OF The
Gate City.
The case was one against the Har-
ris-Emery company, a department
store in Des Moines, where a girl fell
down an elevator shaft and was killed.
She was actually under fourteen
years Of age, but claimed to be over
fifteen and the store people relied on
her statement and obtained a work
permit and all the other requirements
OF the law-except proving her actual
age to be different from her state
ments.
Her parent sued the store for full
damages for the death of the girl, and
the store claimed the S within the
workman's ,ompense ton act. When
the suit got to court of last resort, 1t
was held hat the workman's compen-
sation act did lot apply and the store
was entirely responsible in damages
for the death OF the girl.
