I CHILD LABOR LAWS IN FIVE STATES The National Child Labor Committee Tells of Progress Promised in Many Legislatures. Massachusetts will again load the country In one part of its child labor laws, according to the National Child Labor Committee, if the bill to reduce tho hours of work for all under 16 years, becomes law. Massachusetts now has a ten hour day for workers under IG which 1t is proposed to re duce at one step to a five hour day, with the requirement that all child workers under sixteen shall attend a part-time day school. Other states, nionnwhlle, arc wondering If they can establish the eight hour day, and defi nite campaigns for this end are on in Arkansas, California. New Hampshire. Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, and elsewhere. Tho committee points out that the bills which have already beon intro duced In Pennsylvania, Delaware and Texas all Include the regulation of street trades provided in tho Uniform Child I^abor Law. This allows no newsboy under 12 years and no other street traders under 14. It also for bids ail girls to engage In these occu pations before thoy are 15 years old. New York, under the recommenda tion of the State Factory Investigating Commission, Is considering bills not only to prohibit child labor In can neries and tenements, but to rem gunl/.e the factory Inspection depart ment as an Industrial Commission with a greatly increased staff of !n. spectors. Delaware, Indiana, Missouri North C\:rc-!i::a a::d others are also talking of measures to mako more efficient their departments of inspec tion. In many states, minimum wage boards, pensions for widowed mother.), prohibition of night work and method of determining age of children seek ing employment are under discussion. New Hampshire and some of the southern states will probably raise fhe age limit for working children from 12 to 14 years, and it h\ hoped that a child labor law for territories will be presented^ to Congress.
