Code Commission Divided on
Whether Boys Should Work
or Play After School
Hours in City.
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.

, The Right Perspective
The remarkable aucceaa of the new $100,000,000 French Government Loan
la unmistakable evidence of returning confidence on the part of the investor.
It is understood that a surprising large number of small subscriptions were re
ceived which indicates an excellent demand from tha investor of small means.
With flotation of the French Loan came a decline In call money rates and
favorable crop reports show corn gained 128,000,000 bushels, oats 40,000,000
bushels, which indicatea that the three big cereal crops will give the farmers

farmers and an increase in other lines of business.
