Shuford Elevates to Chief Inspector in State Dept
A Raleigh Observer item notes Forrest H. Shuford, longtime state official and chief of the State Department, has risen from early work as an 11 year old hand to chief inspector. The report cites his five inspectors and A. L. Fletcher at Labor in prosecuting cases, including a Kinston recorder’s court case about a 17 year old girl earning eight cents hourly. The piece hints at broader enforcement and potential future expansion under Roosevelt era reforms.
