Labor report urges state law on child hours in factories
The industrial commission in Washington on May 26 released its labor report to Congress urging states to enact uniform laws controlling working hours for ages 14 to 21 in factories. It calls for banning under 14 employment, an eight hour day in public work and mines, and prohibiting under 14 in mines plus restrictions for women. It favors cash pay, prohibits forced purchases, and examines injunctive enforcement of labor contracts. It also discusses railway labor codes, conciliation laws, and a minority view opposing uniform nationwide hours.
