FRIDAY, JANUARY 31*t, 1919 NEW CHILD LABOR LAW PRO POSED The General Assembly has been asked to enact a child labor law more in keepinc: with the progress of the times than the ineffective measure which now encumbers the pa^es of our statute books. The State should be frank with the public and fair to the children whose interests it is duty bound to protect. Advocates pf effective child labor legislation luive srrown ivapatient with the habit of our state authorites long since con tracted of temporizing with the ques tion of warking small children ten ard eleven hours a day in industrial .'lito in8p«^fii in« v$ati|(ated flibor c<m^tioni'last jnear report that they f(Mind.,i^l4]fen from six to fourteen years of a^t vvprking in the factorieii otrer eight hours a day. v^l^ . ia, shown in the summaries of fl2 inspections made duHng the summer and fall of the year 1917. Male and female adults in the trad es and professions, in the shops and !?ovcrmental departments, behind the counters and on the housetops, have [qni? since won the fight for the basic eight-hour day, and. decline to work a minute longer. Shall the great State of North Carolina permit her helpless little children to labor longer hours than their fathers and grow^n- up brothers? For weeks /luring the | vrinter months of the year children in j the industries of this State never see i the sun rise or set. They begin with j the dawn and v/ork to dark. Will j anyone claim that this is giving the children a square deal? The act of 1913, requiring seperate toilets for male and female workers, and the provisions of chapter 857, Public laws of 1909, requiring erii- ployers to provide seats for female employees, ought to be strengthened j with machinery that will guarantee : reasonable effectiveness. The machin { ery evolved for the enforcement of j the new child labor law may be em- ! ployed in enforcing these corrective | measures.
