SeDt. 5 Ninety-two labor laws have been passed by Con gress and state legislatures during the according: to a yttBL icgioiu," v j 7 , survev which is made public bv th American Association of Labor Legislation on the eve of Labor, Day. "The. most signmcant n.eui m this legislation," says the secretary, Dr. John B. Andrews, "are two na tional laws, one prohibiting the ship ment in interstate or foreign com merce oFcerta'in products in the prep aration of which the labor of children ha3' been employed, and the other providing a model scale of workmen's compensation for personal injuries among Federal employes, of which there are now more than 4SO,OO0. "Several hundred labor bills were introduced into Congress this year," Dr. Andrews adds, "while eleven state legislatures in spite of the 'reaction' ground out their full share of the an nual grisfc" The association's summary of the more important items of labor legis lation in various states follows: "Three states, Maryland, Massachu setts and South Carolina concerned themselves with the legal regulation of collective bargaining In Maryland a state board is authorized to pre scribe rules cf procedure for arbitra tion of industrial disputes including power to conduct investigations and hold hearings, to summon witnesses and enforce their attendance, to re quire the production of books, docu ments and papers, and administer oaths, exercising these powers to the 'same extent that such powers are pos sessed by the civil court of the state.' South Carolina created a board of hree members to investigate and to promote agreements in strikes and lockouts at the rate of en dollars per day each. Massachusetts amended her iaw regulating the procuiing of strike breakers. "During the year seven of the eleven states holding regular legislative" ses sions passed new or strengthened old laws affecting child labor. ShorteF hours, a higher minimum age, prohi bition of night work and exclusion from hazardous enpjoyments are the main tendencies. South Carolina raises the minimum work age from I 12 to 14, while Massachusetts and New Jersey make special provision for pupils who study part-time in vo cational schools and may then work nart time t'lmDellerl bv recent accidents New Jersev has ioined the list of states re-I ouirine Daaseneer elevators to have I intorinnirincr ripvip nut.nmatipallv rL-e- ventinz movement of elevator car un-1 YEAR til shaft door i3 closed and securely j John W..

Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York strengthened their com pensation Jaws without, however, equalling the new national law for in jured federal employes which is term - ed 'the most scientific and most liberal workmen's compensation law in the world.' Maryland enacted a mother's pension law and Massachusetts creat ed a commission on social insurance to study sickness unemployment and old age and to recommend inscurance "leg islation next January.
