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.
