STRIKING GAINS IN
CHILD LABOR LAWS
Off Year For Legislation, but
Children Not Neglected.
EDUCATION LAWS IN SOUTH.
A new compilation of child labor
laws which will be issued shortly by
the National Child Labor Committee
contains the legislation enacted in 1915.
Although this last year was a reac
tionary one for social welfare legisla
tion, the National Child Labor Com
mittee feels that there were some strik
ing gains in child labor laws.
Two states which have hitherto defied
all efforts to raise their standards —
Pennsylvania and Alabama—have
yielded to the pressure of public opin
ion. Alabama has a fourteen year
limit for all gainful occupations, to go
into effect in September. 1916, instead
of her former twelve year limit for
factories only. A sixteen year limit
for dangerous occupations is included
in the law. as well as a twelve year
limit for boys and an eighteen year
limit for girls in street work.
Tbe striking feature of Pennsylva
nia’s new law is the continuation
school clause, which requires children
of fourteen and fifteen wko are regu
larly employed to attend continuation
schools eight hours a week. Other im
portant features are the tweuty-one
year limit for night messengers, phys
ical examination and the completion of
the sixth grade before a work permit
can be secured, and the regulation of
street work.
Michigan had an unustial experience.
The age limit for common gainful oc
cupations was raised from fourteen to
fifteen AT THE BEQUEST OF THE
EMPLOYERS. The bill was drafted
and the campaign directed by them.
In addition to raising the age limit, it
raises the grade which a child must
complete before a work permit can be
secured from the to the sixth
grade.
Compulsory education laws were
passed by three southern states. The
Florida and South Carolina laws are
local option only, but the Texas law
is state wide.
California and lowa strengthened
their laws hv including provisions for
the regulation of street work and the
night messenger service. In addition
to the street work clause lowa passed
an eight hour day for children under
sixteen and strengthened her work
permit provisions. A written statement
from the employer, saying that he in
tends to employ the child, is now
necessary before a child can secure a
work permit. A similar clause was
Incorporated this year in the Rhode
Island law and a street work pro
vision enacted establishing a twelve
year limit for boys and a sixteen year
limit for girls engaged in selling news
papers or mefohandise.
Nevada created the office of labor
commissioner to enforce the child labor
law, and Wyoming enacted a nine hour
day for children under fourteen in all
gainful occupations. In fact, there was
a gain in every state but one of those
which passed laws this year affecting
children. Tennessee weakened its law
by exempting canneries from prac
tically all provisions of the law. But
an attempt to repeal the Arkansas law
was defeated, so that, on the whole,
the National Child Labor Committee
feels that the child labor legislation of
1915 represents steady progress.
Ninety-five per cent of the children
in the Baltimore Truant School have
been street workers. Forty-three per
cent of the hoys in the Maryland State
Reform School For Delinquent Boys
have been engaged In street work.
A recent pamphlet issued by the Na
tional Child Labor Committee states
that over 17.000 children under sixteen
were reported engaged in mining oc
cupations by the 1910 census of occu
pations.
If we had no child labor we should
have very much less tuberculosis; we
should have very much less alcoholism
and fewer diseases of the mind and
file nervous system. —Dr. 8. Adolphus
Knoff.
HONEST INSPECTOR
NOT ENCOURAGED
Local Juries Won’t Convict, Says
Mrs. Florence Kelley.
SHE WANTS A FEDERAL LAW.
Child lubor laws will not be enforced
until there is a federal law which the
government will enforce. So Mrs.
Florence Kelley told the Eleventh An
nual Conference on Child Labor at its
recent San Francisco meeting. During
her wide and varied experience Mrs.
Kelley has accumulated many exam
ples of why a state child labor law
can never he properly enforced and
why the federal government must take
a hand in it.
“After a state child labor law. is on
the statute hooks the difficulties of the
inspectors are only a part of the obsta
cles that confront the state in getting
that law enforced. If an inspector
works very hard he is commonly re
moved—that is, if he works hard and
honestly and ably. I have watched in
spectors working hard, honestly and
ably being removed for thirty-three
years. One who does not work hard
and ably and honestly will probably he
removed anyhow when the politics of
the state changes.
"While the inspector is working hard,
ably and honestly it is exceedingly dif
ficult to get a law enforced, if prosecu
tion is required, because local magis
trates are usually reluctant to enforce
it and local juries to uphold it. Some
years ago we were prosecuting In Chi
cago a certain sweater who had em
ployed sixteen girls illegally. A dozen
witnesses were subpoenaed, and they
all swore cheerfully that the law had
been kept, although they knew that
they had been working Illegally that
day.
“The Justice thought it a merry jest
that we could not get warrants against
those perjured witnesses. He said, ‘lf
I were going to choke my office up
with perjury suits against witnesses
in minor cases we would not get any
business done,’ so those perjured wit
nesses went scot free."
As n further illustration Mrs. Kelley
spoke of the difficulty the New York
State Department of I.abor has experi
enced in the past two years in prose
cuting fanners. The trouble was not
with perjured witnesses there, but with
local juries. The local Juries would
not convict because most of them were
furmers who sell their goods to the
canneries and hud no idea of partici
pating in the punishment of their cus
tomers. “That condition is so wide
spread throughout New York, New Jer
sey, Maryland and Delaware,” said
Mrs. Kelley, “tlmt there is no present
hope of enforcing the child labor law
in the canneries of those states with
local jurors in local courts.
“I do not share the millennial belief
that we shall in any near future have
our la\v,s obeyed by the agreement of
employers and employees In industries
in which the employees are unorganiz
ed. Laws are obeyed only where there
are powerful organizations of workers
to compel obedience. But where there
is a body of helpless aliens, as in most
sweated industries, or in remote vil
lages far from the searchlight it will
take a great deal of evidence to con
vlnce me that all employers will vol
untarily obey the child labor law. Our
immediate need is the passage of a
federal child labor law to enable the
federal government to enforce the
law.”
A federal law would not only pro
tect people outside of North Carolina
from receivkig goods manufactured by
children in North Carolina, but it
would protect people in that state from
having to buy tenement goods from
New York.—Owen R. Lovejoy.
If you want to see white children in
many southern communities you must
go before sunrise and catch them on
their way to the cotton mills. Only
colored children are to be seen going
to and from school.
If the eight hour day really took all
children under sixteen out of the fac
tories we should not have to work to
ward a sixteen year age limit—Owen
R. Lovejoy.
