4 + i WO -CHILD.LABOR NOTSERIOUS ~ SAY WORKERS { Employment in’ This State! _, During School Hours Very Small Problem Employment of children in the cities of North Dakota during school hours. is not a serious problem, ac- ording to the workers of the Chil- drens Bureau of Washinyion, D. C., in’ their report upon induatiial con- ditions fog children in the state. During the last school year the mem- Ders of the commission investigated conditions in the principal child em- nloying establishments of Faggo, Grand Forks and Minot. Its_investi- gation was to detect, if possible, il- legal child labor and ‘the report, ad- mits it found laxity in ‘the enforee- ment of the law, “In the forty-six establishments isited,” says the report, “only thirty- seven children under sixteen years of uge were found to be working. Of these children, twenty-three were employed in stores, usually grocery stores; ofthe remaining, fourteen children eight were employed by tel- egraph companies a8 messenger boys. Sixteen children were under fourteen of age.” . While admitting that the child labor problem in cities is not bad, the Children Bureau Workers are emphatic in their disaproval of the disregard of law found. “The fact that the child labor prob- lem is not a large one does not, how- ever, excuse the laxiety in enforce- ment of the child labor laws which the inspection shows,” continued the xeport. ‘While the child labor laws lays juwn standards which are higher _ shan. those in effect’ in many states, \ +. law. Thus there are sixteeh violation. little or no provision is at present meade for the enforcement of the law. No state agency is held responsible for its enforcement, nor has any sys- tex. of factory inspection as yet been developed in the state. The local school authorities, through. the em- ployment certificate provision, are in 4 position to insist that at least the age, educational and certificate re- quirements are met but the import- ance of this provision and the need af its enforcement have not as yet been recognized ‘by local school of- icials. In the ‘three cities included sible for the enforcement of the cer- | tificate law was found even to know £ its existence when interviewed by the Bureau agent. “Qf the thirty-seven children found at work none had, employment cer- tificates, though certificates were re- quired by-law for the occupations in which 31 of the children were en- staged. Moreover, about half the to- tal number of working children ‘are employed in violation of’one or mbre ather provisions of thé child labor of the minimum age provision of ihe law, eighteen of the hours provision and séventeen of the’night work pro- vision. 3 Of the forty-six establishments vis- ited, twenty-nine showed violation’ of the state child labor law. Accord- ‘ing to the statement made by em- vloyers, few were aware of the pro- isions of the law.” Of the piaces employing children, thirty-eight were ni Fargo, with a total list of 296 childreii. Four were in Grand Forks and four’ in Mino ‘the Grand Forks institutions employ- ing sixty-three children and the Mi- not organizations one less.
