April 20. —An investiga tion of the charges of graft against the State Board of Health, in connec tion with the enforcement of the San itary Privy law that will bring out every phase of the entire and soine j what odorous affair will undoubtedly 'be ordered by Governor A. W. Mc ' Lean as soon as he returns to Raleigh, even though the Attorney General, Dr. John B. Wright, member of the Board of Health, and Senator Rivers Johuson, would undoubtedly be glad to have the matter dropped. This was the general opinion in the capital today, as a result of the recent letter to the Attorney General by Dr. C. O. H. Lnughinghouse, State Health officer in which he reiterated that it was the intense desire of the Board of Health, of the State Medical Society and the majority of the people of the state that the charges be thoroughly investigated and the matter be brought to a final conclusion, and the graft charges either established or disproved. And while Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt, remains non-commital as to what action he intends to take, those who know Governor McLean feel sure that he will take the view of the situation taken by the Board of Health and that he will insist that a very thorough investigation be made and carried through, reveal- what it may. The Board of Health aud members of the radical profession generally over the state feel that the report made by the attorney general to Governor •McLean, that lie had found nothing upon which to base investigation, was little more than white-wash investiga tion —indeed, hardly an investigation at all, and that he was influenced by a desire not to embarass any one, rath er than by a desire to give the Board of Health its due. This view is furth er substantiated in view of the fact that it was stated by Dr. Wright be fore the State Medical Society iu Dur Expect New Quid Labor Law ' To Get Full Cooperation Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh. April 29.—Indications are that employers of children between the ages of 14 to 16 will cooperate in every way to conform to the new regu lations passed by the 1927 general as sembly. restricting the m ploy men t of children under Hi. and who have not completed the fourth grade in school, to eight hours a day, or IS hours a week, according to E. E. Garter, exe cutive secretary of the Child Welfare Commission, and who is charged with the enforcement of these new provis ions. Although the new regulations and directions for the procedure of em ployers of children between 14 and 16 are just being sent out by Mr. Garter, lie had already received letters from employers in all. parts of the state assuring him of their ooiqiera tion, and asking for specific instruc tions. stating that he may be assured, of their complete cooperation. AVithin a few days, this letter of instructions, together with a copy of the interpreta tion of the law iby the Attorney Gen eral. will reach every employer and certification official in the state. The enforcement of the regulations with regard to those children between 14 to 16 who are employed, involves a great deal of detail work, all of which is set forth in the letter to the employers. First, the employers are asked to make a careful check of the certificate of each child between 14 and 16 in his employ, to determine whether the certificate shows the child has or has not completed the fourty grade in school. AA'here the record is not 'positive, the employer is asked to have the local certificating officers se cure the desired information as to the child’s school qualifications from the official school records, upon blanks provided for .this purjiose, ami have this officer also certify the record upon the certificates already held by the employer. "This statement should be made upon the top of each certification card, for each ehikl where the question of its school qualification has been rais ed’’ the letter continues. “AA’hen this has been done, the certificates should then be returned to the files, where they will later be examined by the MAXGUM IS FOUND IN CHARLOTTE HOTEL Detectives Arrest .Magistrate Afteai Judge Issues Capias; to Be tried) Saturday. Charlotte Observer. 29th. .Magistrate S. A. Maugum. laced with charges of failing to deliver to the Mecklenburg county government fines, forfeitures and frees collected in rural police court, was arrested yesterday afternoon by City Detcc* tive 'L. E. Moser in a Charlotte ho tel on a capias isijued by Judge E. McA. Currie after! the magistrate ’failed to show up for trial in record er’s court yesterday morning.

This would indicate, friends of the Board of Health say, that Wright is withholding information which should have beeu presented to the Attorney General, anil the public, and woulfl in dicate that Wright now is intentional ly holding back evidence derogatory to the activities of the board. This view is still further strengthened since at no time have either Dr. Wright or Senator Johnson publicly stated that they were mistaken aud that their charges -were unfounded. - How it is that letters are pouring in to the .Board of Health from both physicions iu all parts of the State, commending it for the position it has taken in insisting that the investiga tion be carried on to the eud, so that the charges brought against it may either be proved as fact, or that the Board may fee removed from the sha dow of graft aud doubt that now en shrouds it. Mauy are of the opinion that the investigation made by the Attorney General .with the evident inteut of not finding anything upon which to base a real investigation, was made more because of political considerations than anything else, since it has been talked for some time that the Attorney Gen eral would not be opposed to consider ing the nomination for Governor in liK-12. The fact that. Senator Rivers Johuson has already announced that he would be a candidate for lieutenant in 192S)—or later—is also thought to have entered into the mat ter. But the demand is becoming so in sistent that this investigation be cur ried through and the affair disposed of that it is belived that within a few days the voice of the people will pene trate the whisperings of politics and that the people will he served. commission.” " ith this letter is enclosed a form til*™ which the employer is asked to list all those workers in his employ which have been certified by the Ghild AA'elfare Commission, so that the re cords may be double-checked in the central office here, and which will later be cheeked over in the office of the employer by a certified agent of the commission. AVhen the certificates are finally inspected they will be officially stntaped to indicate whether each,child has or has not completed the fourth grade educational requirement. Out of the 8,55.4 children between 14 and 16, certified in 1926 for em ployment. only 5.817 were actually employed, the records of the commis sion show, the remaining 2.7.46 being’ either temporarily employed, or “float-* ters.’’ Now. out of this 5,817 workers be*, tween 14 to 16 actually employed, ap proximately 2,500 will fall below the grade educational qualitiowtion, thus limiting them to eight hours a day-, employment, instead of ten, as here tofore. Some of these may be forced to give up then- jobs, where they are employed in a continuous operation*, that requires ten hours to the xhift.4 But in most eases, employers have, indicated that they would cooperate to the fullest extent and put these who' are below the fourth grade Standard on eight hour shifts, until such a time as they may be above the equivalent of a fourth grade education. To this end the State Departments of Ej tcatiou, through its Vocational Education division, under the direc-i tion of T. E. Browns, is going to c<s| operate through the organization of classes in all communities where there are sufficient to demand it. so that’ those workers under the educational qualifications may go to school ami work at the same time. The organizas tion and work of these classes will be greatly facilitated since the ma jority of those in then) trill be working only eight hours a day, instead of ten,' giving more time for study. This new law will be of material assistance in raising the educational standards of children jn industry, and, also tend to increase the age of tlmse employed.
