specified industries have been given at
least 30 more days Of exemption from

yesterday by Miss Katherine Lenroot,

dren's Bureau.
AS a result, boys between those ages
may be employed as newspaper boys.
Children under IA may not legally be
given work in any industry covered
by the act.

form Of a regulation specifying the
occupations, periods of employment
and conditions under which minors
between IA and 1s may be considered
"oppressively" employed, for a tempo-
rary period Of 80 days from next Nom
day. Presumably. further rulings will
be issued within that time.
Under the regulation of yesterday,
the Oppressive" occupations are those
in manufacturing or mining, operation
of motor vehicles Gncluding service as
helpers on such vehicles) and mes
senger service. Children from IA to 16
must not be employed in these indus.

States and the District of Columbia
would be accepted as proof OF
the age Of employed children.
$4,000 to Be Affected.

children will be affected by the wage
hour law
While Miss Lenroot said the inter.
probation of her regulation was up to
each employer of children between IA
and 16, she expressed the personal
opinion that it covered the employment
of carrier boys of those ages by news:
papers.
Some publishers suggested morning
papers would not be able to use boys

that results of Saturdays farm

the quotas, which was short of
two thirds majority. Last year

program.
Seventy percent of the flue-
