Utah Engineers Hear Employers: Make Ferrous Scrap Paper On Mining Child Laborers Get Work Permits Use Takes Employers who obtain work In April permits or age certificates for Drop young people they hire are less likely to run afoul of the child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (Federal Wage and Hour Law), it was pointed out here today by John R. Dille, re gional director for the U. S. Department of Labors Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions in the western states. Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell has said that records of the department show employers found complying with child labor regulations had work permits or age certificates for 85 per cent of their young workers, compared with only 31 per cent for those found violating the law, Dire- ctor Dille said. The employment certification program has been so effective in preventing child labor violations, Secretary Mitchell says, that the department has entered into new agreements with 44 states District of Columbia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico to accept their work The modem uranium prospector permits or age certificates as evi radioactive air dence of age under the Fair La- burrow in favor of the helicopter and is riding the bor Standards Act during the waves of Canada in search of this elusive ore. coming year.
