Governor Has Child
Labor Bill; Provisions
The Cox child labor bill passed by
the Senate last night in the form Gov
ernor Brumbaugh desired it. was sent
to the Governor to-day for his signa
ture. One of these provisions Is that
prohibiting minors under fourteen
from engaging In any kind of em
ployment, while the other reduces the
maximum hours of labor to nine a
day and tifty-one a week. In addition,
the bill provides that all children be
tween the ages of fourteen and sixteen
must attend continuation schools for
a period aggregating eight hours a|
week, the same to be part of the maxi
mum hours of labor. Newsboys must
not be under 12 years.
The bill specifies in detail the kinds
of machinery upon which minors un
der eighteen are forbidden to work,
while a still more stringent list of em
ployments is made for minors under
sixteen. Work in saloons and bar
rooms is forbidden absolutely to all
minors, while those under eighteen are
barred from any occupation which is
dangerous to life or limb or to morals.
A further limitation which was hard
fought was that restricting the hours
of children employed in street occu
pations. This provides that no male
under sixteen and no minor female
may work at these occupations before
6 a. m. or after 8 p. ni.
The final sections of the bill provide
for employment certificates, which are
divided into general and vacation. The
former are for minors employed all
the year round and the latter only for
minors who work in vacation. Doctors'
certificates as to the physical fitness
of prospective workers are also provid
ed for.
