The question of whether itVwas better for a boy to work or play after school hours developed wide differences of opinion within a sub committee of the children's code commission meeting in the Chamber of Commerce rooms yesterday. The women members were unani mous in believing that child labor almost anywhere but on a farm was unwise. C. E. Prevey, secretary of the commission, opened up the discus sion by stating there was a some what widespread opinion that out side work had an educational value that supplemented school study. Favors Doing Chores. "I see no harm in children as young as iu years old earning a lit tle money by doing chores after school hours," said John C. Bar rett. When I was a boy I carried sacks of flour and other groceries on a delivery wagon, ana it never hurt, me." The object of child labor laws should be to prevent warping the bodies of the children, Mr. Barrett stated. "And their minds," added Judge Lincoln Frost of Lincoln. "I would favor a general prohi bition of employment for all chil dren under 14 except in agriculture and domestic service." Not Like the East. Mr. Barrett came back with the statement that work on a farm was' no more healthful than that in many lines in the city. Johnj Larsen, of the state work men's compensation bureau, said that no law limiting child labor on the farms could ever be adopted. "It should not be," said Mr. Bar rett. "This idea of regulating child labor comes from the east where children are exploited and ruined physically by being herded in fac tories. We do not have to deal with that evil here, and we will certainly make a mistake if we try to jump in and regulate every little case where a child finds something to do. We must prevent children working at night or in unhealthful places, however." Minimum Wage Commission. Mr. Barrett has drafted a bill for a minimum wage commission which will come up later today. Under its provisions three commissioners, one of them to be a woman, and each member representing the public, the employers or the employes, would be empowered to regulate wages paid women and children in all em- piovments except domest'C service. Upon petition of 25 persons in an occupation, the commission would hold hearings on wages and condi tions of employment, and set a minimum living wage for beginners and another for trained employes. In all cases where an employe, due to age of partial disability could not attain the standard of production, a special license allowing lower wages would be extended, thn commis siou was authorized by one of the amendments to the state constitu tion adopted at the election this week.
