CHILD LABOR NEARLY DOUBLED IN MINNESOTA Chicago, Aug. 13.—Four thousand more children are working in Chi- cago today than a year ago, accord- ing to Clyde A. Brown, acting di- rector of the city vocatlonul guidance bureau. The increase in child labor is said to be general in the middle west, but exceptions are moted in Missouri, Kansas and North Dakota. Necessity of the child helping the™ family meet the high cost of .living, the pulling power of -higher wages and scarcity of adult labor together with the discovery by employers that women and children often could take the place of men were cited by Mr. Brown among reasons for a similar increase in child labor in other parts of the United States. Doubled in Minnesota. Minnesota officials report that child labor is nearly doubled in that state. The greatest increase, they say, is among children of the “white collar” class whose parents have been forced by rising prices to permit their children to work. About three thou- sand under sixteen years of age are now at work in Minnesota. STATE COMMISSIONER CLOSES POLISH BANK "(By United Press.)
