Relief Administrator Gets Specific
Instructions Relative Child Labor
R. T. Lloyd, Relief Administrator
of Rudolph county, has received a
call this week for twenty-four white
men for C. C. C. enlistment on July
9th. According to Mr. Lloyd eligi
bles must come first from relief
families, or be desiring of relief. The
men must be between the ages of
Id and 25 and unmarried. The price
paid is $30 per month, board and
clothing in addition. Five dollars of
the $30 is paid to the individual and
$25 is sent to the family at home,
with the explicit understanding that
no part of the amount sent home is
returned to the enlisted man. Fail
ure to comply with this would mean
immediate dismissal. This work has
been created chiefly for benefiting
families who have been on relief and
is an opportunity to secure employ
ment.
Relative Child Labor
Mr. Lloyd has also received anoth
er letter from A. L. Fletcher, Com
missioner of Labor, concerning minor
children working. Especially does
this order deal with children who are
being used as salesmen upon the
streets. The letter follows:
To the Superintendent of Welfare:
Many of you have written that
manufacturers and jobbers claim that
they make no sales to children but
sell to adults, who use their own
children to do the selling. This is a
subterfuge and nothing more. Re
port to tiie Department of Labor the
names and addresses of all of these
concerns and we will deal with them.

Rev. X a Fulp at Beasp
Your job is to stop the children, no
matter who is employing them. Ask
your local officers to investigate ev
ery child selling on the streets and
stop every one that does not hold a
permit from you.
It is unlawful for parents to put
their own children to work on the
streets or in their places of business
withous working permits.
News and magazine boys—There is
some misunderstanding about news
boys.
Boys over twelve may be employed
within the restrictions fixed by law,
to do street sales of newspapers, mag
azines and other merchandise. Such
boys must secure from you “Permit
for News Carriers and Street Sales”
and “Street Sales Badges” as set out
in paragraph 9 and 10, Child Labor
Regulations.
Boys over fourteen may be employ
ed as newspaper carriers on fixed
routes. To such boys you will issue
the "Regular Employment Certifi
cate” and they will not be required
to secure a street sales badge.
Permit no abuse of the provisions
of paragraph 12, iChild Labor Regu
lations, relative to “Neighborhood
Magazine Sales.” It becomes “com
mercialized” when sales are super
vised and managed by a state-wide or
nation-wide, or even a local business
concern or organization.
I greatly appreciate your help in
enforcing the Child Labor Laws and
I beg that you will continue the good
work.
Interest has spread to many relig
ious denominations after the Catho
lic church took a decided stand to
“clean up Filmland.” Protestant
churches, women’s clubs and other
organizations are chiming in the cho
rus. Hollywood, however, is going
ahead making pictures, for, they
state, there has been agitation against
“immoral” movies since 1907. Espec
ially does the movement hark hack
to the days of Fatty Arbuckle when
hie films were banned throughout the
Many private swimming pools on
the estates belonging to the movie
stare in Hollywood are dry while oth
ers are filled and unused at present.
Health authorities have been making
an investigation after an epidemic of
infantile paralysis has prevailed re
cently. Cases have been observed in
people who love swimming and fre
quent pools. The Department of
Health warns that water entering the
nasal passages interfered with pro
tective membranes and made the
swimmer more susceptible to the in
fantile paralysis germ.
In conformity with the ruling of
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., that those working
in the department must not occupy
official positions in political parties,
several resignations have been hand
in throughout the state. Mrs. T. Pal
mer Jerman, assistant collector of
internal revenue in the office of
Charles H. Robertson, resigned last
week as national oomitteewoman of
the Democratic party. Mrs. Kather
ine Stedman Palmer, deputy stamp
collector of the internal revenue de
partment, stationed in Greensboro, re
signed her position as a member of
the Democratic executive committee
of the sixth congressional district.
Charles H. Robertson has also re
signed as chairman of the Democrat
ic executive committee of the sixth
congressional district and as a Mem
ber of the committee. John Bright
Bill, collector of customs at Wilming
ton, has also resigned, as secretary
treasurer of the Democratic state ex
ecutive committee.
