PROGRESSIVE NEW
To Be Voted On in September Re
ceived 22,000 Signatures on
Initiative Petition.
FIRST ATTEMPT TO INITIATE
CHILD LABOR LAW.
Mr. Herschel H. Jcnes of the National
Child Laoor Committee Discusses
Weaknesses of the Present Law
and Provisions of New Law.
The child labor bill which was sub
mitted to the voters of Arkansas last
spring in the form of an initiative pe
tition, and which received 7,000 more
signatures than the law requires, will
come before the citizens of the state
for a vote next month. The large
number of extra signatures which the
petition received over and above the
required number indicates that the
measure is a popular one, and every
effort is being made to bring the bill
before the attention of the entire state
so that there will be no doubt thftt it
will become a law.
Initiating a child labor law is a new
process; no other state has ever tried
it, and people throughout the United
States who are interested in child la
bor legislation are watching Arkansas’
experiment with interest. They feel
that the large number of signatures
which the' bill received indicates that
the majority of people are opposed to
child labor when the subject is
brought directly to their attention by
the initiative petition method. A
child labor bill handled by a legisla
ture rarely receives much notice un
til after it has passed, and then it
seldom satisfies anybody.
Active Campaign for Signatures.
The campaign to initiate the new
ahild labor law was carried on by the
Arkansas State Federation of Labor
and the National Child Labor Com
mittee through its special agent, Mr.
Herschel H. Jones. They received
the enthusiastic co-operation of the
Trades Union, the Farmers’ Union,
the State Federation of Women’s
Clubs, religious organizations, news
papers, etc., and the result was a de
cided expression of public sentiment
in favor of the bill.
State Below Standard at Present.
“The people ought to stand solidly
for this bill at the elections,” says
Mr. Jones, who worked hard for the
bill in the campaign last spring. “For
years Arkansas has lagged behind
other states in restricting child labor.
The fact that there have been few,
factories and mills compared with
Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas
has made the people of this state in
different to the fact that her law was
equally disgraceful. The time for
Arkansas to come up to the standard
of the progressive states is right now,
before her child labor problem be
comes so serious that it will be as
difficult to handle as it is in the other
manufacturing states of the South to
day. And it will become serious un
less a law to prevent it is passed now,
for Arkansas’ factories are growing
rapidly. In fact they have doubled
in the last ten years.
Existing Law Weak.
“There is practically no law at all
now because it is so weakened by ex
emptions. Children under 14 may not
work in factories unless they or their
families have no other means of sup
port. Naturally, many lazy or greedy
parents soon discover that the easiest
way to make a Jiving is to assert that
“they have no other means of sup
port” than their young children. They
go to the office of the county clerk,
state that they are dependent, and re
ceive a permit for their young chil
dren, age not specified, to work in a
factory in order to support them.
New Law Based on Uniform Child
LdUUI L.CIW.
The new law was prepared by the
Arkansas State Federation of Labor
in co-operation with the National
Child Labor Committee. It is based
on the Uniform Child Labor Law
which was drafted by the United
States commissioners on uniform leg
islation and which has received the
endorsement of the American %ir As
sociation. The principal provisions of
this uniform law have been already
adopted in the majority of states, in
cluding the neighboring states of Ten
nessee, Missouri, Kansas and Oklaho
ma. During the last ten years there
has been a great movement through
out the country toward higher stand
ards and uniformity in child labor
legislation, in which the National
Child Labor Committee has been the
leading force, and the effort to secure
a better law for Arkansas is only a
part of this great nation-wide move
ment to give children strong bodies
and a chance for an education.
The New Bill Provides:
1. A 14-year age limit for all re
munerative occupations. (Exemption
for children under 14 employed dur
ing school vacations by their parents
in occupations owned or controlled
by them.)
2. A 16-year limit for occupations
dangerous to health or morals, includ
ing mines, dangerous machinery, sa
loons and theaters.
3. An 8-hour day, 48-hour week for
children under 16. Night work pro
hibited 7 p. m.-6 a. m.
4. A 10-hour day, 54-hour week for
children under 18. Night work pro
hibited 10 p. m.-6 a. m.
B. Employment certificates requir
ed for children under 16.
POOR CHILDREN TO
BENEFIT BV THE LAW
I Child Labor Bill, If Enacted, Will Give
Them Chance to Play and Go
to School.
SMALL WAGES OF CHILD
ONLY TEMPORARY HEI P
Argument That Poor Widow Need*
the Child’s Earnings Is Fallacious,
Says Murray Auerbach.
The present, child labor law in Ar
kansas contains a provision which
practically all other States have abol
ished. This provision permits a child
under 14 years to labor in a factory
“if such child be an orphan and has
no other means of support, or if a
widowed mother or an aged father is
dependent upon the labor of such
child.”
Arkansas is one of the three States
in the Union which retain such a pro
vision. Virginia retained it until this
year, but abolished it last spring when
she enacted her new child labor law.
New Bill a Progressive One.
The new child labor bill which is
to be voted on in Arkansas at the
September elections, after being ini
tiated last spring, abolishes this ex
emption. Mr. Murray Auerbach, Sec
retary of the United Charities Asso
ciation in Little Rock, from his wide
experience among the poor is in a po
sition to know what effect the enact
ment of this new law will have upon
them. He says:
“The proposed child labor law is the
most distinct step that Arkansas has
taken. The State is one of the very
few that has not vet nassed a law for
the protection of childhood and for
the improvement of the coming gen
erations.”
Of the exemption in the present law
which permits children of dependent
parents to work at an earlier age than
other children, Mr. Auerbach says:
"This is a most unfortunate exemp
tion as it nullifies the present law. As
a matter of fact, so worthless has the
exemption made the law that children
are now employed without even being
questioned as to the poverty of their
parents.” «
The law' requires that before the
child can go to work parents must se
cure certificates from the county clerk
stating that they are dependent. Bui
according to Mr. Auerbach this rule is
not enforced and young children are
permitted to work whose parents are
quite able to support them. This has
been found to be the case wherever
the poverty exemption clause has
been allowed to remain in a child la
bor law.
Mr. Auerbach has little sympathy
with the point of view of those who
would sacrifice the child to help the
parent. "The person to be considered
primarily is the child, not the parent.’
he says. “The succes of the State de
pends on the prosperity of its citi
zens, and prosperity can only be at
tained by those who are normal, men
tally, physically and socially. Child
labor prevents this normal growth in
asmuch as the child is deprived of his
right to schooling which curtails his
mental growth; he is robbed of the
right to play to the detriment of his
physical growth: and the two combin
ed hinder his social growth.”
Child of 13 Too Young to Work.
“One would not think of sending a
child of 6 to work,” says Mr. Auer
bach, “why, then, send one of 13? The
latter is still a child in need of all
that can be given him. He should be
irivan an nnnnrtnnitv tn vnalra rtf him.
■elf a contributing member of society
Started to work at an early age with
out the advantages for advancement
the child grows into a workman whose
earning power is small, and when he
reaches the age of say 40—the age ol
the greatest usefulness, his energy by
reason of youthful labors is exhausted
and he finds himself incompetent and
inefficient, his poor earning power still
greater decreased.
“This is not mere theory, for the
charity organization societies all over
the country are acquinted with the
type—the victim of child labor.
Child’* Wages Little Help to Widow,
Much has been made of the argu
ment that families, particularly wid
ows, are frequently dependent on the
wages of their children, and that il
such children were not permitted to
work, severe suffering would result
Legislators have been moved to de
feat child labor bills on this ground
alone. Mr. Auerbach however, does
not find the poor widow’s condition
really improved by the earnings of
the child.
“These earnings at best are small,’’
says Mr. Auerbach, “and can be onlv
a temporary help. Far better would /
be for the child to partake of his God
given right—the right to school and
to play—and to start his life’s career
I with the probabilities of increasing
his earning power as time goes on.
Then with his increased wages he can
give his mother the permanent help
that will forever keep the wolf from
the door.
“The argument that the widowed
mother needs the child’s earnings is
a fallacious one. There are plenty of
charitable and other social agencies
ready to extend the helping hand
whether the child is 13 or 3 years of
age, for the help is just as necessary
in the former case as in the latter.
But for the *ake of the future, for the
sake of the State, let us help rear the
! citizens who will be strong in mind
| and body, and who will In Its future
I add glory to the community."
