Average Age of Child Workers Is 12 Years; Little Tots of 6 Are Also Exploited DENVER, Col. (By Mail). — Toil- | ing at pack-breaking labor, in forced | and unnatural postures and under the | worst forms of exploitation, child | workers, on the average twelve years | of age, but in some cases even as | young as six years, cultivate the beet | fields of Colorado and produce the! blood soaked profits of their exploit- ers. | The facts are revealed in an ex-} tensive survey sponsored by the Na-;| tional Child Labor Committee and | published as “Child Labor in Agri-| culture and Farm Life in the Arkan- sas Valley of Colorado.” The sur- vey supplies a most gruesome pic-! ture of the exploitation of child la- bor in this state. “In bunching and thinning and pul- ling and topping,” the survey states, | “the children are required to spend their time going through thé same | | motions for hour after hour and day after day.” The state law placing the age of lehild workers in certain occupations | ‘at 14 is purely & paper law and a farce.
