NOTDRASTIC
New Child Labor Law Compared With
Other States.—Employment Certifi
cate Provision Common Feature of
Child Labor Laws.
__
By Herscliel H. Jones,
j Special Agent National Child Labor
Committee.
There has been some feeling that
I the proposed child labor law is a dras
tic measure, particularly in regard to
the employment provision section.
Ths law requires that a child shall
have attended school for 160 days pre
vious to his application for an em
ployment certificate, and that he shall
have completed the fourth grade, be
fore an employment certificate can be
issued. A ghince at the table below
will show that "umilar provisions have
been adopted very generally through
out the country ac4 that in some
States the laws are far more drastic
than the Arkansas lair is.
The child labor law in each of the
States given below provide* that—
1. No child under 14 shall be per
mitted to work in factories, stores,
and other occupations.
2. All children 14-16 must have em
ployment certificates issued by school
authorities before entering these em
ployments.
3. Certificates will not be granted
unless documentary proof of age is
furnished, showing that the chilli is
14 years old, and unless the child is
able to read and write.
Where States require more than
these three provisions, such require
ments have been noted on the table.
The number of days where it ap
pears on the table refers to the days
of school attendance required during
i-iic: j'cai incviuua time tne eer
tificate is issued.
The number of the grade indicates
the school grade which the child must
have completed before it may receive
a certificate.
TUe term “physical fitness” means
that before the child may receive a
certificate to work, it must be exam
ined by a physician to determine
whether it is physically fit for the
work for which it is being employed.
Arizona.—160 days; fifth grade;
physical fitness.
Arkansas (new law)—160 days;
fourth grade.
Colorado—Eighth grade.
Delaware—130 days; physical fit
ness.
District of Columbia—130 days.
Florida—60 days; instruction in
reading, writing, spelling, geography,
arithmetic through common fractions.
Indiana—Fifth grade.
Kentucky—Fifth grade; physical fit
ness.
Maryland—Attendance entire year
previous to 14; fifth grade; physical
fitness.
Massachusetts—Fourth grade; phys
ical fitness.
Michigan—100 days; fourth grade.
Minnesota—Physical fitness.
Nebraska—Attendance three-fourths
of year previous to becoming 14; com
pletion of eighth grade or attendance
at night school.
New Hampshire—Attendance not
less than 300 half days during preced
ing year; physical fitness.
New Jersey—130 days; fifth grade;
physical fitness.
New York—Certificates issued by
health officer instead of school author
ities; 130 days; sixth grade; physical
fitness.
North Dakota—120 days. \
Ohio—Certificates required of boys
under 16, girls under 18; attendance
for full previous year; boys sixth
grade; girls seventh.
Oklahoma—Attendance for full pre
vious year.
Oregon—160 days during year pre
_i a. — aai._a. i_ u2_i.u j _i it.
-v iwuo w uivouuvu un f oiavu
grade.
Rhode Island—Physical fitness.
West Virginia—Fourth grade.
Wisconsin—Certificates issued by
Industrial Commissioner; fifth grade
or have attended school at least seven
years.
When we know that many States
require, not the completion of the
fourth grade, bitt the fifth, sixth, sev
enth, or eighth, and that in addition a
child must pass a rigid physical ex
amination in at least ten States, we
realize that the Arkansas law which
calls for the completion of the fourth
grade is far from drastic. It provides
the minimum educational requirement
only, but it brings Arkansas nearer to
the standard set by the most progres
sive States in the Union. It will pre
vent large numbers of children from
going to work when they are unable
to read or write, as is the case at pres
ent, and hence will be of the greatest
possible value in reducing the high
per cent of illiteracy in the State.
Employment Certificate Explained.
"The employment certificate, or
work permit, is a most essential part
of any child labor law," says Mr.
Jones. “It is the only way in which
the law can be enforced. Before the
child can go to work, he must secure
from the school authorities a certifi
cate or permit to work. This certifi
cate is not granted unless the issuing
officer has secured documentary proof
that the child is 14 years of age, and
also proof that the child has complet
ed four yearly grades of school. In
this way children under 14 cannot se
cure employment, and the certificate
is the employer's guarantee that the
child may be legally employed.
“This law for the protection of chil
dren should receive an overwhelming
vote at the September elections,” con
tinues Mr. Jones
[ARKANSAS NEEDS
; BOND AMENDMENT
PROPOSED MEASURE WILL BEN
EFIT NOT ONLY PRESENT BUT
FUTURE GENERATIONS.
(Fayetteville Daily.)
Under the caption “Amendment No.
14” the people of Arkansas will vote
on the so-called bond amendment at
the General Election in September.
The bond amendment was passed by
a choice of the people two years ago.
but was knocked out in the Supreme
Court because of provisions which
w^re deemed unconstitutional.
Arkansas needs the bond amend
ment. While its adoption or rejec
tion is subject to the vote of the en
tire people it effects only the cities.
The people of Arkansas are unfortun
ately prejudiced against the issue of
bonds due to wholesale graft incident
to the floating of bonds during recon
struction days. But reconstruction
days are over and it is now generally
understood that the fault then was
not with the underlying principle on
which bonds were issued but with the
manner in which the finances were
then handled. The fact is that the
issuance of bonds during that period
should not militate against the bond
amendment now under consideration
any more than the fact that the state
government, then headed by a chief
executive known as the “Governor,”
should preclude operation under the
same form at present. The defect
was in the manipulations not in the
principle.
Bonds for public improvements
simply mean that a method is per
»* •* * ■ U Ul V/UUU ' -■
mfnts to be paid in regular install
ments—that posterity shall help meet
the obligations incurred by reason of
improvements which it enjoys equally
with the present generation.
A public improvement that is de
signed to benefit not only the present
generation but future generations
should receive support from all its
beneficiaries—future as well as pres
ent. This is the principle on which
the bond amendment is founded and
it has proved to be a most essential
principle for practically all large busi
nesses of the present day. City gov
ernments are, in the final analysis,
business corporations and should be
so conducted.
The bond amendment which is to
shortly come before the people for
consideration is so constructed as to
place all necessary restrictions on the
issuance of bonds. It prohibits an
illegitimate and reckless expenditure
of public moneys, and should be
adopted. Amendment No. 14 will fill
a long felt need in Arkansas legisla
tion and, if adopted, will put Arkan
sas in a class with the progressive
states of the Union.
“ ‘The Greater Arkansas' is a or
ganization that has for its chief end
to further the cause of Amendment
No. 14. Mayor Chas. E. Taylor, of
Little Rock, chairman of the Execu
tive Committee of the Association, re
cently addressed Mayor Tom Taylor,
of this city, calling for financial aid
for the amendment. In part his let
ter follows:
“The committee thinks that a fair
division of the burden justifies us in
calling on Fayetteville for $200. When
the amendment is passed, and your
oity, makes improvements under the
terms of the amendment, the saving
in the difference in the rate of inter
est alone, to the people of Fayette
ville, due to the passage of the amend
ment, will be $200 or more In a very
short time. Therefore the members
of the committee feel that it is only
a fair request to make of your city
that you make a ocntribution of that
amount.
<«««-„ _ -- 41_A. _ _ I,
" V » mat JUU LUIinUll
the others, and advise the writer in
the next few days definitely in the
matter ? It is desirable that the funds
be raised and remitted to (his office
without delay. If your remittance
could be made to us prior to the first
of August so much the better.”
The expense of the campaign two
years ago was borne by five cities, as
follows: Little Rock $1,500, Fort
Smith $300, Pine Bluff $500, Hot
Springs $300 and Texarkana $300.
These cities have agreed to expend
an equal amount this year, but the
expenses will be about twice as much
so it is necessary that other cities
contribute.
I
An apportionment of $200 for Fay
etteville is not excessive and the ben
efits accruing from the passage of
the bond amendment will more than
repay any patriotic citizens who are
sufficiently interested to take an ac
tive part in the campaign.
But whether or not the amendment
receives the financial support that it
expects from Fayetteville, every citi
zen should talk for the bond amend
I ment and thereby work for the best
interest of the city.
The measure is well guarded. If it
passes that fact will not me*n that
every city and town must issue bonds.
The amendment simply gives the
right to issue bonds when a majority
of qualified electors in a city or town
cast their votes for a bond issue. It
is difficult to see what valid objection
could be raised to the passage of
Amendment No. 14, and it is very
easy to see the good that might fol
low its passage.—Batesville Guard.
