Work Permit And Labor Law Cited By Person Head “Interpretation and enforcement of the Child Labor Law has not been effected by the amendment to the compulsory school attend ance law," Forrest H. Shuford, State Commissioner of Labor, said today in a memorandum to all County Superintendents of Welfare and released here today by Mrs. T. C.'Wagstaff. “The Child Labor Law provides j that minors 14 and 15 years of age j cannot be employed during the j hours when school is in session. The j only exception to the provisions of j this law is for minors who are em ployed in domestic agricultural work under the supervision or di rection of their parents,” Shuford i stated. The amendment by the General j Assembly of 1945 to the compulsory j school attendance law' provides that ( during the twelve months following j July 1, 1945, children bet.ween the ; ages of seven and fifteen shall at tend school. On July 1, 1946 and thereafter, children between seven and sixteen must attend school. For the duration of and six months fol lowing the end of World War 11. children living "on farms or working in commercial fishing or fisheries! are exempted and superintendents of schools may excuse any male 1 child 14 to 16 years of age for on ployment that fs permitted by the 1 labor laws of this state. "Considering the two laws to gether, om' cm steadily ree that dur ing the coming fiscal year minors j 14 years of age, since they cannot work under the provisions of the Child Labor Law, cannot, as here tofore, quit school and roam the streets. On and after July I, 1946 this will be true of all minors up to 16 years of age." Work permits are issued by coun ty Welfare Superintendents. Ap plication must be made and Permit issued before any minor under 18 years of age can be employed. Many applications are being made here, according to Mrs. Wagstaff.
