An aggressive campaign on all fronts behalf of State child-labor and school- ttendance laws was agreed upon yes- rday at a child-labor conference held Bt the Children’s Bureau. Breakdown of labor standards and Speaker FORMER CORNELL HEAD TO TALK ON PHILIPPINES. prowth of “fly-by-night sweat-shop in- dustries exploiting children” were de- lored by State labor officials of New | ork, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and | ‘Wisconsin. Representatives of welfare and civic | organizations urged concentration on | the 41 State Legislatures meeting next ear. ’ “Our economic life is undergoing fli preat transformation,” Secretary Doak f the Labor Department told the con- Ferees, “For this reason,” he added, “it s important that we reconsider and re- ‘a]uaw our child-labor legislation.” He pledged support to the movement {fter leaving his present position. Present Time Held Propitious. The conferees agreed that the present time was especially propitious for enact- ing child-labor legislation in the States because of the anomoly of 2,000,000 boys | and girls being employed at low wages | and long hours when many adults were put of jobs. = Miss Frances Perkins, New York in- idustrial commissioner, said it was so- | ially preferable for relief workers to| eep on taking care of destitute families | ther than to send children out to ork for $2 a week. “To countenance child labor at a ime like this is to sanction extending he depression into the lives of the next neration,” she said. Four Demands Presented. The child labor conference held here oday at the Children’s Bureau adopted four-point standard on which to ocus in a drive for State child labor ws. g It demanded: { A basic age minimum of 16 years for 8l kinds of farm agricultural employ- ment. An eight-hour day standard, with the | vision that as adult hours are wered, hours for minors would be Bowered accordingly. Payment of double compensation to minors injured while illegally employed. A school budget sufficient to provide #types and amount of education adapted #0 the needs of all children. Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the; Children’s Bureau, was authorized to appoint & continuing committee to stimulate the aims adopted, and to serve | Bs a “clearing house” in & concerted wrive on all fronts for enactment of «child labor and compulsory school at- tendance laws.
