City Attorney Campbell has received a copy of the new law and explained it this morning. It states that no child -under 14 can work in a factory, workshop, theater, packing house, operate an elevator or work any other place where his life, limbs, health or morals are in danger. That a child under 14 can not work anywhere during school hours In the months school is an session. This, how-eve, does not interfere with boys under 14 carrying papers at any time of the year; or working at any other occupation out of school hours during the winter. 'During the summer boys are free to work all day as long as their employment is not dangerous.

'Boys under 16 employed in" any of the occupations mentioned and the carrying of merchandise or messages cannot be employed more than eight hours a day or 48 hours a week or before seven in the morning or after six in the evening. Children under 16 are like wise prohibited from any employment injurious to life, limbs, health or morals. A BOOST FOR CANEY. wasmngton, June 7. The house the door."
