'CHIED TABOR LAWS
Of STATE DISCUSSED
Secretary of State McLendon Is
sues Pamphlet On
Subject

ATLANTA, Oct. 10.(By The AS
sociated Press. "A recent phamplct
published by the state giving tie
laws of Georgia which apply to
child labor, including also opinions,
,ules and regulations regarding
these laws, will be of interest OF
Georgians to fully acquaint them
selves with the requirements of the
law
Secretary of State S. G. McLen-
don has, within the past few weeks,
received numerous inquiries from
all sections of the country, for full
information concerning the opera
ton of the Georgia law, and to meet
the requests, has had these require
ments printed, and sent them to the
nquirers.
The booklet is especially interest
ing in setting forth the law, in view
CT the fact that by two dissenting
votes the recent Georgia General
Assembly adopted a resolution re-
iecting the proposed child labor
amendment to the United States
constitution, which, in brief, pro-
posed to prohibit the employment
of children under sixteen years Ct
age.
A widow is a woman whose nus
band is dead, in the opinion of the
Georgia law, but man who leaves
or disappears from his home, docs
not leave his wife widow" The
same application holds true regard
ing a divorced woman, cor wo-
man living apart from her husband, ;"
is not to be considered a widow. It
must be clearly shown, according TO
the law, that "the child of a widow
ed mother must aid in the support
Of that mother"
The act passed by the Georgia
General Assembly in 1910, provides
that "no child under the age of four
teen years shall be employed by, or
permitted to work in or about, any
mill, factory, laundry, manufactur-
ing establishment, or place of aanuse
ment; except that children over
twelve years of age, who have Wild
owed mothers dependent upon them
for support, or orphan children over
twelve years of age dependent upon
their own labor for support, may
work in factories and manufactures,
except that the foregoing provisions
specified and provided for in SEQ
ton Eight, of this act. !"
The exceptions in Section 8, of
the act, are:
"Be it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid, that it shall! be
lawful for child twelve years of
age, or more, to work in mill, fac
tory, laundry, manufacturing estab-
lishment, or place of amusement, if
such child has dependent upon his

labor widowed mother or if such
child desires to work in any, of
such places as specified above, the
fact that such child's labor is neces-
sary to support a widowed mother or
to support such orphan child, must
be found to be true after an inves-
tigation by a commission composed
of the county school superintendent
an dthe ordinary OF. the county
where the work is to be done, and
the head of the school in the school
district where the said child lives !"
Section 2 of the act, which sets
forth the requirements for cert,fl-
cate, are:
"Be if further enacted by the
authority aforesaid that no child
Under fourteen years and six months
shall be employed or permitted to
work in any of the establishments or

II, 100000 was spent in this elab.
Grafton so that the war depart
ment might be ready to act The
minute the word was given.
Maj. Gen. Robert C. Davis has
been chosen by Secretary of Wan
Weeks to take charge Of the M
chmery for administering the
bill, 1T was General Davis who
was ordered to Washington in 10

In order to facilitate opera
tons of the law the war depart
ment has requested cooperation
in the following particulars:
ONE. Do not write for applica-
tion blanks. These will be dis
tributed as soon as prepared, and
unnecessary letters will only Gre
ate confusion and delay.
TWO: Read carefully the in
structions which will be printed

FOUR: Mail blanks in the enve-
