LEGISLATURE BIC
. V|OLATOR OF LAW
General Assembly Makes
Child Labor Statute and
Then Ignores 1t
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Hy j c. BASk EISVILI

Raleigh, Dec. 31-The North Caro-
lima General Assembly is the biggest
Violator of the States child labor laws
by it's employment of boys under 16
years of age and sometimes under IA
years of age as pages in the House
and Senate. But since the legislature
is supreme and makes the laws, it in
the past has taken the position that
1T could also break these laws, with
the result that nothing has ever been
done about it.
But Commissioner of Labor A. l..
Fletcher, whose business it is to en-
force the child labor laws, along with
the other few labor laws the State
has on its books, has decided to do
something about the employment of
children under 16 years of age by the
General Assembly, he revealed here
today. He has already written a letter
to the new lieutenant governor and
the new speaker of the House, who
dole out the patronage in the two
houses and must approve the employ
ment of pages in particular, calling
their attention to the child labor laws
and asking them not to employ any
pages under 16 years of age this ses-
sion.
"The State child labor permits the
employment of children under 16
years of age only after proper certi-
fication by the Department of Labor
and then strictly prohibits their work
ing at night" Commissioner Fletcher
pointed out. "But during the General
Assembly the pages have to work at
night as we'll as at day sessions, with
some of these night sessions lasting
until midnight and sometimes until
I or 2 o'clock in the morning. I am
hoping that in this session of the as
sembly the presiding officers will in
sist that the pages be at least 16 years

The Institutional staff, which in
cludes six of the best instructors from
the National Police Academy, head
ed by Director Hugh H. Clegg, is said
to be one of the strongest and best
balanced in the country.
The training will cover all import
ant phases of law enforcement work
in North Carolina. The federal ex-
perts will be supplemented as to State
and local phases by outstanding State
and local law enforcement officials
and by members of the Institute of
government staff. Some of the in
state instructors are pictured in the
accompanying layout. Among the
others are:

cations Commission under its toll rate
investigation order of September 9,
1886. Rapid Improvement in general
business condition, and the conse-
quent increase in long-distance tele-
phone operatives were particularly
stressed by the commissions repre-
sentatives The result of these efforts
is that the telephone using public is
to be given the advantage of this large
reduction at once, without having to
await the conclusion of long-drawn-
out and costly hearings and possible
litigation, such as have frequently
been witnessed in former telephone
rate cases.
The new toll rate schedules were de-
veloped by the company's rate Off
Gals, with the assistance and cOllab-
Grafton Of the commissions tariff ex-
perts They include reductions in all
orms of interstate telephone rates.
Changes for basic day station-to-sta-
ton calls will be reduced at all dis
tanes, commencing with a five-cent
cut at forty-two miles, where this
company takes over the business, and
including progressively larger cuts, in
creasing with distance and amounting
to as much as one dollar per message
on calls ibetween eastern seaports and
the Pacific coast. Similar reduction
will be made in day person-to-person
calls, and large cuts will also result
in night and Sunday rates, both sta
manifestation and person-to-person
Many of the uneven rate steps which
have existed in former tariffs are to
be wiped out, and the new schedules
represent an important advance in
telephone rate making.

Chief Lynch of the Fire Department paid glowing tribute to Private Maurice McGrath of Engine Com pany Mo- B. in his official notification to the Department
 members of the death of this well known Fireman. Old time employees of the spoon shop, and Buckle factory must remember Maurice because before his connection with the department Mr. McGrath employed at both of these plants in fact is belief that he entered the service directly from his employment in the historic so called spoon shop Rogers Bros. Here is what the Chief said-in part Live We how we can, yet die we must is old adage that has been familiar to us these
 many years and to of us almost from boyhood. It is surely true expression and should at times make us think little when fully realize the inroad Death has made in our ranks during the past few years During his long connection with the Department, he gained the friendship and good will of all in the service He was or the type that made friends his cordial greeting and no ticeable hearty laugh made him rather unique figure among us There always that chuckle that stood out 50 prominently of his funny utterances for Mau rice hale fellow well met and chock full Of merri- nent His presence made meeting happy and pleas ant and surely we bound to miss him. Recall the days when we had Department baseball team, with Maurice holding down the cachers position and recall, too the pleasant times we enjoyed on long Sunday aft ernoon when he of the crowd in the voley ball games played in the rear of the police station We have
 right remind you of those days because of the real pleasure and enjoyment and of the good part that Ma rice played upon such occasions"

This new red and blue l6-cent stamp, which made Its first appearance early in the week, will replace the current stamp of the same de- nomination. The printing of the initial order of 5,000,000 of the initial order was begun about ten days ago. The two-color process necessitates two plates for each sheet and officials stat ed that 1t was their belief that two more sets of plates may be required.
