STATE LABOR HEADS
INVITE ANY INQUIRY
Declare National Charge Of
LaxnesS Unfounded.

Charleston, Aug. Equalization
of news dispatches in the papers
Tuesday to the effect that the ma
tional child labor committee of
New York is making public re-

send an agent to West Virginia to
determine whether endorsements
OF the child labor law should not
be taken from the jurisdiction of
state officials has brought forth an
answer from the state bureau OF
labor and an invitation for a thor
ough investigation.
THE state bureau OF labor has
had jurisdiction in the enforcement
of the child labor law. which is a
law that is not surpassed by the
laws of any ether state reads a
statement made by the state bu-

ENACTED at the 1919 session of
the legislature the statute has mot
with the approval OF the internal
revenue department which has the
supervision of the federal statute.
The enforcement Of the child labor
law in West Virginia has always
met with the approval OF the fed

at intervals Of six months the same
authority Is conferred upon the b.
reau Of labor to issue permits and
supervise the enforcement Of the
law as would be conferred upon the
issuing officers of the internal rev.
enue department.
Our law says that the city and
county superintendent OF schools
shall be the issuing officers in
their respective cities and counties
and it is upon these officials for

reflection. The state bureau OF Ia

touch with conditions to see that
the law is strictly enforced regard

desire OF children to secure work
to relieve the burden in the homes
of large families.
"Such a situation as the national
child labor committee attempts to
convey, this bureau is positive does
not exist in the state and we re-
sent the misleading statement as
to conditions and further we wish
to assure the federal authorities
that this office will render all as
