Maternity Clause
In Eight Contracts

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The
Women's Bureau of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor, noting that
the increase in the number of mar
ried women in the labor force
has been accompanied by growing
public interest in provisions for
their welfare, announced here that
it had recently completed a study
of eight union-contract health in
surance plans which are believed
to be typical of indemnity plans
which inclure maternity benefits.
Results of the study appear in a
bulleton just released, maternity
Benefits Under Union-C Contract
Health Insurance Plans" In plan
ming the survey the Bureau con
sidered 256 union-contract health
insurance plans, of which 1877 were
known to include maternity bene-
fits. From these, eight plans cover
ing over $4,000 were chosen for
detailed study.
1t was found that weekly cash
maternit benefits are paid under
all eight plans for a period of
six weeks, though for claims other
than maternity the weekly cash
benefits are paid for longer periods.
In addition, al eight plans pro-

office machines; they may not be
employed in occupations declaring
to be hazardous for minors 16 and
II years old.
Occupations determined to be
hazardous by the Secretary of La
Dor and in which the minimum
age for employment under the Fair
Labor Standards Act is 18 years
are given blow:
Most occupations connected with
explosive plants, motor vehicle
drivers and helpers; coal mining;
logging and sawmilling; operation
of wood cutting machines; occupa-
tionS involving exposure to radio
active substances; and operation of
power-driven hosting apparatus.
For their own protection, the
Deputy Administrator urged all
employers to have on file age GER
tificates for all employees under
18 years of age and for those
claiming to be 18 or 19 who are
employed in hazardous occupations.
He also urged employers to be-
come familiar with their State
child labor laws, since, in any given
State, regulations setting the
higher standard, whether State or
Federal, prevail. He suggested that
they write their State Department
of Labor for such information.

Child Labor Laws
Lint Work Hours

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With
most of the Nations schools due
to open within a few days, en-
ployers who hire children on either
a full-time or a part-time basis
were cautioned today to abide by
specific Federal regulations apply
ing to the employment of minors
in plants producing goods for in
terstate commerce..
The warning was issued by F.
Granville Grimes, Jr. Deputy Ad-
ministrator of the Wage and Hour
and Public Contracts Division, U.
S. Department of Labor.
Grimes explained that under the
Fair Labor Standards Act, the mini
mum age for genral employment
is 16 years while 14-and 15-year-
old youngsters may be employed
only outside school hours and sub
ject to stringent regulations.
For example, he pointed out that
employment of 14-and 15-year-old
youngsters is limited to three hours
on school days and eight hours on
nonschool days and maximum of
18 hours during the weeks school
is in session and 40 hours other
weeks.
Generally, he said all work per-
formed by a. and 15-year-old
children must be done between Z
am. and 7 pm. They may not be
employment at anytime in covered
establishments in manufacturing,
mining or processing occupations.
They may not operate or tend

The big swamp was fast shedding its shroud
of darkness. He had to be wary.
True, the frogs were noisy. But that was
