By our present laws. all cases of
children employed under age or with
out the required qualifications are re-
ported to the state board of educa:
tion, whose work in the enforcement
of these laws has been exceptionally
thorough. The secretary of the
league would therefore deplore the
adoption of the commhsidner's re
commendation. The enforcement ‘of
the hours of employment law and the
dangerous trades law for minors is.
now in the bands of the onice of fee-
tory inspection where it logically be-
longs and‘ where it appears to be well
handled. ‘

having live or more female employes

'Such provisions would lay a' heavy
burden on the smaller stores. many
