DIGEST Of Federal
Labor Legislation
Is Now Avuiluble

A Digest of State and Federal La
Dor Legislation Enacted July /, 1941,
to August l. 1912, is now available
from the Division of Labor Stand
ards, L. s. Department of Labor, as
Bulletin No. 81.
The publication summarizes the text
of labor laws enacted by the 4S State
legislatures which were in session in
1912, as well as by Puerto Rico, and
by Congress.
The legislative year 1912 brought
little change in State labor legislation.
Few advances were made and few
backward steps were taken. The effect
of the war emergency was evidenced
in some legislation designed TO permit
tieXibility in existing labor laws to
meet the requirements of maximum
war production. Many bills which
would have lowered labor standards
failed of passage.
Louisiana and Puerto Rico revised
their child-labor laws establishing a
basic minimum age OF 16 for employ
ment, requiring employment certiG-
Gates up to IS years of age, and rails
ing hours of labor standards. New
York strengthened its industrial home
work law.
Workmen'S compensation Il IN II d
ments We're considered by practically
all the legislatures. Virginia amended
its act to extend the coverage from en-
ployers of II or more to employers OF
Z or more, and increased the level OF
benefits. kentucky proposed Il cOnsti-
tutional amendment to permit enact
ment of a compulsory WOrlmen's COM

In several States amendments We're
introduced extending covera&e of mini

Don't Save On
Education, AFL
Worms Nation
Central Unions And State
Federdtions Urged To
Wdtch Appropriations

Washington, y. G. GLNS). - We
cannot afford to cut school expendi-
lures even in the midst OF war, the
American Federation of Labor de-
clares, in q strong American Fedora
ZIONIST editorial warning the nation
against attempts to economize in edu-
cation.
Central labor unions and state fed
erations should carefully watch local
appropriations for public schools" the
federation urges.
Going on to point out that it will be
increasingly difficult to maintain rev
enues for schools, as national war
taxes increase and sources for which
local governments rely for income
dwindle. the federation says:
1T should be the special responsible
ity for labor to watch these appro-
priations and to guard against at
tempts to limit them by resort to the
use of special devices fixing ratios or
percentages.
Our economies should be in other
public services and reductions in school
maintenance d last resort
The federation holds that the Fed
eral government should supplement
local efforts to assure equal educa-
tional opportunities to the children Of
all citizens regardless of the economic
prosperity of the region
The federation further says:
Our schools are the medium
through which workers get at least a
basic training in the educational tools
necessary for continued progres $
through life and some understanding
of the society in which they live and
| their responsibilities as free citizens.
Can't Afford School Economy
Because we believe that education
| is essential to the welfare of our chill
dren and our free way Of life, the
American Federation of Labor has
| from the time it was organized used
its influence for the financial support
and the cultural expansion of our pub
| lie schools. We cannot afford to de-
crease appropriations for schools even
in this war crisis. We now expect
schools to prepare youth in the short
est possible time for the responsibilities
of war-a task th;m only the most eff
cient schools can manage
Boys and girls must have suitable
training as they develop and no
amount of training later will quite
overcome failure to time education to
| growth"

ing and unloading of cargoes have
sharply reduced the time spent by
ships in New Zealand ports between
trips, New Zealand maritime labor

al Transport Workers Federation re-
port.
Time In Port Halved
AS the result of stringent control
and the establishment of mixed gov
ernment employer labor waterfront
commissions the average time spent
by vessels in port has been cut from
35.7 days to 1914 days. About days
are accounted for by reducing the
number of ports of call; days by
''round the clock" 2i-hour continuous
working; and ; more days by the
speed-up in loading and unloading of
cargOes.
During the last year only four stop
pages occurred on the New Zealand
waterfront, amounting to Il loss of
35339 en-working- out of total
of 100000 men-working-days, or a
loss of less than .O4 per cent of the
total working hours of the New Zea-
land maritime workers.
Welfare conditions in the principal
ports of Australia leave much to be
desired and improvements are ur-
gently needed, according to an inveSti-
cation of waterfront conditions re
Gently conducted by the Australian
Ministry of Labor at the request of
the Australian Seamen's and maritime
the transport workers union.
Bad Conditions Found
Nearly all Australian ports - sgd
ney, Newcastle, Port Kembla, Mel
bourne, Geelong, Brisbane Hobart,
Launceston, and Adelaide - report a
shortage of elementary conveniences,
such as workers canteenS and reStau-
rant facilities, sanitary arrangements
and wharf shelters. The report states :
"Generally speaking, these facilities do
not exist; where they exist they are,
with hardly an exception, of Il primi-
tive standard. Other deficiencies, such
as lack of passenger transport facili-
ties, are not so serious or so general.
War conditions have greatly aggra-
waited the situation, particularly as re-
CARDS eating facilities for the dock
workers and Seamen.

Women Over SO Will Be
Needed In 1912. Miss
Perkins Says

New York City GLNS(. - Women
with young children should remain at
home rather than take jobs in war
plants, Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins said here.
The high absenteeism rate among
women, mostly those with children, is
the chief complaint Of employers in
war industry against women, Miss
Perkins told "A conference Of the New
York WOmen's Trade Union League.
Three Complaints Reported
She said that employers report that
women become tired more quickly than
men, that they take days off ''to 20

shopping" and that they feel their first
duty is with their children and remain
at home if the baby gets sick"
On the whole the testimony is in
favor of women in the factories, Miss
Perkins said.
Both factory foremen and manage
ment complain that women will not
wear hats, bandeauX and turbans on
their heads to protect themselves, she
said, adding that scalping accidents
are occurring in factories but that the
lack of machine guards are also IL
factor. She added that many accidents
occur because women insist on wear
ing high-heeled shoes.
Prejudice Breaking Down
THE accidents to women fall large
ly into the slip, fall and stumble
classification" she said. IF they wore
lowheeled shoes, many accidents
would be prevented"
The prejudice against employing
women over 45 is breaking down, she
said, as efforts are being made To re-
cruit them for the labor market OF
the 100000 new workers needed in
the next year, 100000 women not
now in the labor field will be recruited,
she said.
