STATE LABOR
INSPECTOR MAY
BE ABOLISHED
Bill Seeking to Place Re
sponsibility on Probation
Officers is Pending in
Senate.
1ey HEReERr FELKELl

Tallahassee. May 15-Whether or not
the office of state labor Inspector should
be abolished and the needs for child labor
Legislation in Florida were discussed IN
the senate when the bill by Senator Carl
Ton on the subject was reached on second
Ireading with amendments recommend i
which Senator Russell IS chairman.
The bill provides for raising the age
limit to sixteen years and increasing the
salary of the state labor inspector six
hundred dollars. paying him 81. 400 a year
instead of $500 as at present. 1t also
provides for assistant labor inspector
at salary of S1sS00. The amendment by
the committee, which Senator Russell
said was unanimously recommended. abol-
ishes the state labor inspector and MS
proposed assistant and places the in
speetion in the hands of the probation
Officers of the state. The bill does not
affect towns of less than 5000 inhabitants
rhe question was on the adoption of the
amendments, but on notion of Senator
Carlton the bill was informally passed
over for the purpose of amendment later.
Senator Carlton said that only four
counties had probation officers and the
passage of this bill with the suggested
amendments would greatly cripple the
work which had progressed well in .a-
icent years He said the committee hai
admitted the inspection was necessary by
providing that it be done by the proba-
ton officers.
Senator Russell said the amendment
had been unanimously adopted by the
committee, that the original bill sought
to raise the salary of the state labor in
spector six hundred dollars and give him
an assistant, that the senate itself was
violating the proposed law by employing
pages, all of whom are under the age
limit, that the probation officers couI1
easily do this inspection work that Flo. :
ida was an agricultural state and he SPA
no crime in the boys of his town selling
the Saturday Evening Post, which wouIa

at least three deaths of children in the
cedar mills of his county and he had am
putated a quart of children's fingers a
result of accidents in these pencil fact3-
