Warning Is Given
On Child Labor
State Employers Told Rule Declares
Vehicle Operators Must BE 16

Attention of Delaware employers
is called by the Labor Commission
of Delaware to a new regulation
governing the employment of min
Ors under the age of 16 years in
the operation of any type of We
ilicle.
In accordance with Section 12,
Paragraph 1902, of the Revised
Code of Delaware, the Labor Com
mission of Delaware, after careful
investigation of accidents and re-
ports that children even as young
as 10 years of age had been EN-
ployed in this type of work at any
and all hours of the day, held a
public meeting in compliance with
the provision of the Child Labor
Law for declaring an occupation
hazardous. The meeting was at
tended by interested persons.
The members gave due consider
alton to all phases of the situation
and voted unanimously to define
such employment as dangerous to
the life and limb and injurious to
the health of children.
The labor commission wishes es-
pecially to call to the attention of
employers that violation of this
regulation is a violation of the
Child Labor Law of Delaware. EN-
ployers can protect themselves
from unintentional violation of the
child labor law by keeping on file
certificates of age for all minors
claiming to be over 16 years en-
ployed in occupations declared to 1
be hazardous, as well as certificates

State Tax Department officials
today said that the real effect of
the revenue loss will be felt in the
fiscal year starting July l.
