Senate bill to permit students to work on farms
Harrisburg February 16 A measure to permit school children to help on farms was moved up for a vote in the Senate. The plan would allow school districts or boards of education to cut days or hours and grant farm and domestic employment permits to pupils 11 years old or over. The Pennsylvania Federation of Teachers urged defeat, arguing it would encourage child labor on agriculture with limited protections. Senator Homsher and Senator Wilson defended the bill, saying it aligns with wartime needs and governor's recommendations.
