FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 10. 1924 -THfLO LABOR LAWS Os STATE DISCUSSED Secretary of State McLendon Is sues Pamphlet On Subject ATLANTA, Oct. 10. (By The As sociated Press.) —A recent phamplet published by the state giving ti e laws of Georgia which apply to child labor, including also opinions, iulcs and regulations regarding these laws, will be of interest of Georgians to fully acquaint them selves with the requirements of the law. Secretary of State S. G. McLen don has, within the past few weeks, ■ received numerous inquiries from all sections of the country, for full information concerning the opera tion of the Georgia law, and to meet the requests, has had these require ments printed, and sent them to the mquirers. The booklet is especially interest ing in setting forth the law, in view ci the fact that by two dissenting votes, the recent Georgia General Assembly adopted a resolution re jecting the proposed child labor amendment to the United States constitution, which,. in brief, pro posed to prohibit the employment of children under sixteen years cf age. A widow is a woman whose hus band is dead, in the opinion of the Georgia law, but a man who leaves or disappears from his home, “does not leave his wife a widow.” The same application holds true regard ing a divorced woman, “or a wo ■ man living apart from her husband,” is not to be considered a widow. It must be clearly shown, according to the law, that “the child of a widow ed mother must aid in the support of that mother.” The act passed by the Georgia General Assembly in 1910, provides f- that “no child under the age of four n teen years shall be employed by, or i* permitted to work in or about, any k mill, factory, laundry, manufactur ing establishment, or place of aznuse ment; except that children over . twelve years of age, who have wid rt owed mothers dependent upon them < for support, or orphan children over ■ twelve years of age dependent upon !- their own labor for support, may ■ work in factories and manufactories, except that the foregoing provisions [ specified and provided for in See- Lt tion Eight, of this act,” ’’ The exceptions in Section 8, of. H the act, are: «■* “Be it further enacted by the Y" authority aforesaid, that it shall be h lawful for a child twelve years of L age, or mote, to work in a mill, sac s tory, laundry, manufacturing estab lishment, or place of amusement, if t such child has dependent, upon his Rylander Theater TODAY AND TOMORROW Cecil B.

If you remember “Manslaughter and Male and Female," remember “Triumph ’ is De Mille in the same gorgeous vein. But not even De Mille ever gave you a society romance so brilliantly told, so elaborately filmed.
