seTHE bill now before the Texas leg
l islature regarding the hours OF
work for children, said Tom Bel. dep
uty state labor commissioner Of Tex
as. is merely a change. practically,
Of the present measure. but extending
the age to II instead OF IS as at pres
ent. The law prohibits a child under
Il working in any place where there
is dangerous machinery or in any place
Of amusement. and prohibits any child
from working more than IS hours in
any consecutive week at any occupa-
ton
.'One provision Of the measure pro-
hibits boys under Is working between
the hours Of .. m and a. m This
is the only portion OF the measure that
would interfere with neWsooys, and
that would not interfere with carrier
boys, as they are usually older than
Is. II is drawn TO stop children be-
ing used on night Jobs.
The measure, which was introduced
at the request OF state labor commits
sioner Jennings. IS receiving the sup
port Of the Texas Equal Franchise
mems clubs. the Texas Parent-Teach-
ers' association. and the Texas Moth
.ers' club. This year was set aside
by the women's division OF the federal
la Dor department as child's welfare
year and all legislatures were asked
70 pass laws for the protection Of chill
dren. The pending measure IS the re-
suit OF legislation decided as neces-
sary in the state OF Texas.
The measure also carries a provi-
sion for the creation Of a commission
TO fix and enforce a minimum wage
for women. This is the section that
is causing the most concern 70 many
opponents Of the measure, I believe.
for IL would give the commission pow
er to visit various sections Of the
state. take testimony and fix the
minimum wages TO be paid to women
workers This law Is badly needed in
certain industries. where many women
work excessively long hours. at starT-
alton wages"
