Child Labor For Drying Of Fruit
Is Asked By California Growers

partment Solicitors Office, that unless
regulations were modified there is q
chance of losing 40 per cent of fruit in
some areas.
The hearing was called following a
request Of pear dryers Of Lake County,
Calf, for labor relief after hundreds
of workers had been inducted into the
Army or had gained employment else
where. The decision will apply on a
nationwide basis, although only in the
types of work covered in the testimony.
Ray b. Wiser, president of the Cali
fornia Farm Bureau Federation, said
that the help of children under 10 was
Indispensable this season. He argued
that the drying of fruit was part of "A
regular agricultural operation and that
children employed in it should be
exempted from child restrictions.
Cutting fruit was not injurious even
to younger boys and girls, he said,
adding that his daughter of 9 years
had been working in his own drying
yard for two years.
Joseph b. Padway, American Fed
Grafton of Labor general counsel,
voiced skepticism over contentious that
lowering of the employment age would
substantially help the fruit dryers.
