New York reports a year of significant labor law activity with federal and state measures expanding the eight hour standard and workplace protections. Proposals for minimum wage, factory inspections, and accident reporting gain momentum while states adopt safety rules and disease reporting requirements.
A survey of 1912 statutes shows more factory inspectors especially women in New York, rising child labor restrictions with fewer night shifts, mixed results in workmen compensation with several voluntary laws, and eight to ten hour limits spreading to private sectors. Arizona and New Mexico push eight hour rules for mines and rail workers respectively. Massachusetts and New York adopt minimum wage and birth related limits for women.
