CHILD LABOR DECREASING IN
STATE LABOR INSPECTOR SAYS
COMMISSIONER HAGNER CITES
SITUATION IN ANNUAL REPORT
Interesting Data Shows That Child
Labor Throughout the State Has
Been on Steady Decline

Child labor is on the decline in Del
aware, according to a report for the
last three months of last year made
by Charles A. Hagner, child labor in
spector, at the quarterly meeting of
the Labor Commission of Delaware,
held last week in Wilmington. George
B. Miller, president of the board, pre-
sided, the other members present be-
ing Miss Helen S. Garrett, Thomas C.
Frame, of Dover, and George A. Hill,
of Bridgeville, also the following
members of the advisory committee:
Miss Elizabeth S. Hanson, Miss Alice
Smythe, David A. Ward, Mrs. Patri-
cia Manchester, DIR. E. B. Crooks and
John C. Saylor. Following is the text
of Mr. Hagners report:
Two hundred and twenty-four in
spections were made during the past
ouarter. Eighteen violations were
found, and corrected. In six cases
children had misrepresented their
ages to their employer, four employ
ers had caused children to work more
than the legal number of hours and
eight children were employed without
the employer having required employ
ment certificates. Five of the latter
were part-time employees. None Of
the violations were of a wilful nature
and amicable adjustments were made

LEVY COURT MEETS AT DOVER
Not Sufficient Cash in Treasury to
Refund State For Road Work


At the weekly session of Kent
County Levy Court Tuesday a dele
cation headed by Frank c. Bancroft
and others petitiOned the court to
recommend the improvement Of the
road from the state concrete road on
the south, to Lebanon, the north route
which would lead by Odd Fellows
cemetery, Camden, where connection
could be made with the concrete road
direct to Wyoming, which is the ship
ping point of many Of the farmers in
central Kent county and where quite
frequently over 100 cars are loaded
during the fruit season. No action
was taken by the court on the re
quest as there has already been an
other route suggested.
A refund of $21.30 from the general
fund to Constable n. f. Jett was or
dered, the same having been paid into
the county treasury by the clerk of
the peace in a case in the Court of
General Sessions, with fine imposed.
An order for $3.50 was drawn in
favor of S. Carl Hughes, treasurer of
the County AlmshOuse for the month
of February.
County Engineer Todd was outhOr-
lied to have ten maps made for the
county showing the roads, bridges and
boundaries of each of the hundreds in
the county, the expense not to exceed
SIS.
A bill for $44, ,7O5.4O from the State
Highway Department was presented
for the county's share in the state aid
road building, but as there was not
sufficient funds to pay the entire bill,
$4,000 was ordered paid, leaving a
balance Of $483.35, and balance yet
due the State Highway Department
of $6,70540. 1t is more than prob

enter the field of labor. This was put
in effect on September l of that year.
In spite of this increase 43O children
received employment certificates, al
though the majority were received
prior to September. The next year,
1924, due again greatly to industrial
depression, the number of children re-
ceiving employment certificates de-
clined to the lowest number since the
inception of the Labor Commission OF
Delaware, when 1863 children were
given certificates to be employed. In
1925 an increase is again noted, 314
children having obtained working GER
tifoates. A comparison of the yeal
1917 with 1925, shows a decrease OF
1852 children receiving employment
certificates.

persons in stores. The remaining SO
per cent succeeded in obtaining posi-
tions in industrial establishments.
Nine girls and one boy entered the
cigar-maling industry; eight boys
and three girls received positions in
miscellaneous manufacturing concerns
and five boys and eight girls went to
woEk in textile plants.
The general objection of industrial
employers to employing children un-
der 16 years of age is that such chill
dren are subject to attend continual
tion school for four hours each week,
which must be considered as part Of
their working day. The employer
claims that too often when his ser
vices are needed he is in attendance
at school. They therefore endeavor
to get children who are more than
sixteen years of age and are not sub
/ ject TO child labor or school laws. An
other objection is the hours that a
child under 16 years af age is per-
mitted by law to be employed, viz:
eight hours a day, 48 hours a week.
With an eight-hour day, and four
hours off per week in attendance at
continuous school, together with the
Saturday half-hoHday, the children
serve their employers 40 hours a
week. 1t is a question whether the
children in the Ga per cent group
would not have been better off if they
had remained in school a while long
er.
The steady decline in child labor II
Delaware is evidenced by a compar-
/, ison of the number of employment
certificates issued during the pas
nine years. The peak was reached il
1917, during the World War. In thai
: year 776 children between the ages o.
IA and 16 years were employed. Th'
next year showed a slight decrease
when 730 children obtained working
certificates. In 1919, when the Fed
eral Child Labor tax law was put int
: effect, but Sis employment certificate
were issued. The number the follow
l ing year, 1920, showed a further de
