FIND VIOLATIONS OF
STATE LABOR LAWS
Eating Places, Merchandise
and Delivery Services
Chiefly Blamed
Duly Dispatch Bure1u,
In The Sir walter Hotel,


Raleigh, Aug. 19.-One hundred
eighty-five violations of the State
labor laws were uncovered by the di-
vision of standards and inspections
of the State Department of Labor dur
ing July, it was reported today by
Commissioner of Labor A. L. Fletcher.
Of these 1875 violations, rs were VIOLA
lions of the law governing hours of
work for women, which prohibits any
woman working more than 10 hours a
day or IS hours week. In addition
to the hour violations, there were IA
labor violations, 81 for not having
first aid kits as the law requires, los
for having inadequate or unsanitary
toilet facilities and three for not pro-
vldlng seats for employees as required
by law. Forty-six establishments were
found which did not have the State
labor laws posted in accordance with
the law.
All of the &c violations for excess
sive hours were found in hotels, cafes,
restaurants and other public eating
places. The demand of the vacation
rush was given by employers as the
reason for the violations, most which

were Immediately corrected to con-
form with the law.
The IA child labor violations were
found chiefly in the merchandise and
delivery services. In most cases the
employers had employed children I'M
der 16 years of age without obtaining
employment certificates. Some were
allowing children to work after 7 p.
m. or for more than eight hours a
day, both of which arep rohibited by
the State law.
Steps were Immediately taken by
the Department of Labor to correct
all violations found either by secur-
ing the voluntary compliance of the
employers, or, by prosecution if the
employers failed or refused to COM
ply with the laws, Commissioner
Fletcher said. In most cases, however
the employers are entirely willing to
comply with the labor laws whenever
their attention is called to any VIOLA
tons.
