REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1920.
B Y L I N D L E Y D.

CLARK.

INTRODUCTION.
Besides the second and third sessions of the Sixty-sixth Federal
Congress, legislating for the United States and locally for the Dis­
trict of Columbia, 12 legislative bodies met in regular session during
the year 1920, one of these (Maryland) also meeting in extra session.
Extra or special sessions were also held in 19 other States and Porto
Kico, the Legislatures of South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia
convening twice during the year in such sessions. A considerable
number of extra sessions were for special purposes, as for the ratifi­
cation of the woman suffrage amendment, or other specific objects,
so that no labor legislation was enacted. Possibly also the unsettled
industrial conditions following the war influenced the bulk of legis­
lation of this class, so that its volume is less than is customary even
for the year of the biennium in which the smaller number of legisla­
tures meet.
The legislation, new and amendatory, enacted in 1920 is printed
herewith as a supplement to Bulletin No. 148, which contains labor
legislation in force at the close of the year 1913. Bulletins contain­
ing the legislation of the years 1914 and subsequent years have been
published annually, as Nos. 166, 186, 213, 244, 257, and 277. Each
of these carries a cumulative index, so that the entire material
on any given subject may be referred to by the use of the index in the
latest number issued. One important subject of labor legislation
has been omitted from these bulletins—that of workmen’s compensa­
tion for injuries. Both because of its special interest and of its
bulk, the legislation on this subject has appeared in a separate bul­
letin, No. 272, which includes the legislation up to the close of the
year 1919. The text of the compensation legislation for 1920 has not
yet been reproduced, but is summarized in the M o n t h l y L a b o r
E eview for October, 1920 (pp. 185-191).
Perhaps the most conspicuous item of legislation during the year
1920 is that creating the Industrial Court of Kansas, devised as a
means for the determination of rights in the case of industrial disputes.
Legislative action on the same subject was taken during the year in
other jurisdictions. Vocational rehabilitation through cooperation
of the States and the United States was provided for. The child as
an industrial factor also continued to receive attention; while a pro­
portionately large number of the laws under consideration addressed

themselves to the subjects of inspection and the safety of work places.
Following is a brief summary of the legislation of the year,
grouped under various headings.
REGULATION OF CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT.
The laws grouped under this head are of incidental ^rather thatl
direct effect. One, of Louisiana {No. 108), forbids the gift or receipt
of any gratuity to influence the action of employees making purchases
for their employers. The use of stop watches and of bonuses in
Federal workshops is forbidden, as in the past (chs. 194, 228, 240,
2d sess.; ch. 128, 3d sess.).
The principle of employee representation is recognized in a New
Jersey law (ch. 175), which permits the issue of stock to employees
to be paid for by labor or money on the installment plan; authorizes
profit sharing and the establishment of welfare features, including
medical service; and provides that one or more employees may serve
on boards of directors. The mode of the establishment of such a
system is provided for, and the rights of dissenting stockholders are
safeguarded. In Massachusetts (ch. 412) the department of labor
and, industry in its conduct of a public employment service must
notify applicants for work of the existence of any labor difficulty in
the place to which they are directed. A like provision appears in the
new law of *South Dakota on this subject (ch.M
5&). Other laws of
Massachusetts require spool boxes in mercantile factories to be
labeled with the number of pounds of thread and the price per pound
(ch. 4:17), and require general opportunity in employment by street
railways in which the State has any interest or control, without re­
gard to race, color, or nationality (ch. 376).
An Alabama statute (No. 110) amends section 6850 of the code of
the State by penalizing the persuasion or the attempted persuasion of
a laborer who has begun a crop to abandon the same before it is made
or harvested, to the probable injury of a third person, in addition to
the offenses originally provided for.
In New York (ch. 603) the law providing for the physical exami­
nation of employees at the time of their entrance into employment is
amended so as to require females to be examined by a physician of
their own sex, or with a female attendant present, not only at such
examinations but at physical examinations held at any time or for
any reason.
The employment of aliens on public works is the subject of an
Oregon statute (ch. 13) which forbids such employment if the alien
claimed and secured exemption from military service during the late
war on account of his alienage.
In the absence of other classification, mention may here be made
o f a law of Louisiana (No. 21), which authorizes municipalities and
parishes to own, construct, lease, or otherwise acquire and operate
gas plants, natural-gas lands and wells, pipes, etc.
EXAMINATION AND LICENSING OF WORKMEN.
The Georgia law on the subject of the licensing of barbers was
amended (p. 109) so as to be applicable to all barbers in cities of
5,000 or more instead of exempting those who had had three years7




WAGES.

previous experience. A New Jersey law (ch. 72) establishes a State
board of barber examiners to hold quarterly examinations of all
applicants for a barber’s license. Applicants must be at least 19
years of age, free from contagious and infectious diseases, and have
had three years of apprenticeship or study or practical experience in
other States. A fee of $5 is required. Barbers now practicing in
New Jersey may receive a license without examination on the pay­
ment of the fee of $1, and those coming into the State with licenses
from other jurisdictions for a fee of $2. Annual renewals are re­
quired of all at a cost of $1. The board is authorized to provide an
employment bureau. Any barber may be examined at any time as
to the state o f his health, and if it be such as to menace the public
welfare he is to be reported to the State board of health and required
to discontinue the practice of his trade.
The registration of chauffeurs was considered in Kentucky (ch.
90), Maryland (ch. 506), and Massachusetts (ch. 426). The Ken­
tucky statute applies to chauffeurs rendering service for pay. Reg­
istration is required in the county on application made on a blank
furnished by the State tax commission with indorsement by two
reputable citizens. The fee is $2 for the original license and for an­
nual renewals. The Maryland act is an amendment reducing the
required age of chauffeurs to 16 years, instead of 18 as formerly^ while
in Massachusetts the annual renewal fee is made $2 instead 6f $l.
In Ohio (p. 12S7) the license fee for steam engineers and for per­
sons in charge of stationary steam boilers is made $5 instead of $2,
though the renewal fee remains at $2. A New Jersey law (ch. 109)
relates to the operators of power boats, amending a law of 1919 so
as to allow the issue of a learner’s permit valid for not more than 10
days.
WAGES.
Wages due discharged employees must be paid within 24 hours,
according to a Louisiana enactment (ch. 150), and in case of failure
the wage rate continues until full payment or tender. The Federal
law as to seamen’s wages was amended (ch. 250) by limiting demands
to wages earned and unpaid, only one demand to be made in the same
harbor on one entry.
The Mississippi law relative to the payment of wages due deceased
employees was amended (ch. 304) so as to allow $300 to be paid with­
out administration instead of $200 as before, making the surviving
husband a potential payee as well as the widow.
A law of limited application directs that scrubwomen in the statehouse of Massachusetts be paid their wages weekly (ch. 221).
Four States considered the subject of the assignment of wages and
the business of wage brokerage. The Georgia law (p. 215) is of the
standard type, and applies to loans not in excess of $300 for which
more than 8 per cent per annum is charged as interest. Brokers must
pay a license fee of $100 per year for each place of business and keep
records open to inspection. Accurate statements must be furnished
borrowers, and in the case of the assignment of unearned wages both
spouses must sign if the borrower is married. Payments of not more
than 10 per cent of the wages due on any pay day may be pledged,
and are payable by the employer after verified notice to him. In­
terest must be on balances only and may not exceed 3| per cent per

month. The license fee for wage brokers is fixed by a Louisiana act
(No. 233) at amounts ranging from $300 per year on a capital of less
than $25,000 to $3,000 per year where the capital is $250,000 or more.
The New York statute (ch. 703) is amendatory and allows loans up
to $300 instead of $200 as formerly ; it makes a charge of $3 instead
of $2 for the examination of security, drawing papers, etc.; allows
15 per cent per annum instead of 12 per cent; and also permits 15
per cent profits on the capital instead of 12 per cent yearly as before.
The Virginia statute (ch. 299) is also amendatory and allows as
much as 5 per cent per month on loans not over $50 in amount, but
does not permit the splitting of loans. Section 17 of chapter 402,
Acts of 1918, the original act, is changed by substituting the word
“ if ” for the word “ unless ” in a provision that “ if given as security
for a loan ” 10 per cent of the salary or wages may be applied to dis­
charge the debt.
A law of special application was passed by the New Jersey Legis­
lature (ch. 304), which forbids the garnishment of wages or salary
for the discharge of debts of soldiers or sailors contracted prior to
the late war.
The Tennessee Legislature redrafted its general corporation law,
retaining the earlier provision as to liability of stockholders of corpo­
rations jfor^he wage debts of employees (ch. 15).
Mechanics’ lien laws of Kentucky and Massachusetts were amended
or extended* the former by giving jewelers and watch repair men a
lien on watches, clocks, jewelry, etc., on which work or material were
expended (ch. 119) ; by the Massachusetts law (ch. 590) a form of
procedure is prescribed for the recovery of personal property in
excess of $20 in value held under a lien.
The laws of Massachusetts and New Jersey relating to the security
of wages of employees on public works by the means of contractors’
bonds were the subject of minor changes. In Massachusetts (ch. 210)
the claimant must file his demand within 60 days after he ceases
to furnish labor, and not after the completion of the work, and in
the office of the local official instead of with the contracting officer.
The amount and conditions of the contractor’s bonds are the subject
of amendment by the New Jersey law (ch. 110).
The Massachusetts minimum wage law was amended by two acts
of the legislature of 1920, one (ch. 48) rewriting the section relative
to the selection of members of wage boards, while the other (ch. 387)
authorizes the commission to reconvene wage boards to revise decrees,
acting on its own motion instead of only by petition. The Legislature
of Texas (third special session) by resolution requested the State
minimum wage commission not to proceed with the establishment of
wages until there was opportunity for a revision of the law (Senate
concurrent resolution No. 5). Rates of wages paid on railroads on
March 1, 1920, were to be continued to September 1 of the same year
by the act of Congress returning the roads to private control (ch. 91).
HOLIDAYS AND REST DAYS.
A Massachusetts law providing for leave of absence for public em­
ployees “ regularly employed” received definition by an act (ch.
143) which describes regular employment as being that in which




HYGIENE AND SAFETY.

there was an aggregate of 32 weeks’ service during the preceding
calendar year. In Virginia, State employees who are on duty for
7 days per week must have at least 2 Sundays per month holidays,
and the responsible officials are directed to make the necessary ar­
rangements therefor (ch. 251).
The Maryland Legislature (ch. 522) proposed to submit to the
people of Baltimore the question of whether or not motion-picture
theaters should be operated on Sundays, but through some legal diffi­
culty the question was not submitted, so that they remain under the
general restriction.
November 30 was added to the list of legal holidays to be observed
in the Philippine Islands (No. 2946),
HYGIENE AND SAFETY.
Relating to the entire field of industrial hygiene and safety is a
proposal o f . the New Jersey Legislature to establish an industrial
safety museum (ch. 334). The commissioner of labor is to appoint,
and himself be a member of, an administrative committee, repre­
sentative of various interests and organizations, to have charge of
the installation and maintenance of exhibits for the establishment
of safety standards, teaching methods of first aid, training ifor-safety,
and the like.
Jaw is of broad scope, designatihg 16 specific
classes of exhibits^ adding also a general blanket clause. Another
act (ch. 335) sets aside for the purposes of this museum the amount
of $25,000 per year 44whenever included in any annual appropriationbill.”
FA C TORIES.

An Ohio law (p. 1121) requires a fire drill in factories, etc., three
more stories in height, such drill to be held once a month. In
order that uniformity may be observed throughout the State, the
industrial commission is authorized to fix rules, and less frequent
drills may be required in fireproof buildings. The Rhode Island law
relative to the installation of sanitary conveniences in factories, etc.,
is amended so as to place upon the owner of the building in which
any factory, manufacturing or mercantile establishment exists the
duty of such installation instead of placing it on the owner, agent,
or lessee of the factory, etc. (ch. 1907). A law of broad application
is an Oregon statute (ch. 48) which directs that employers must
provide safe places for their employees to work, prescribing certain
regulations as to mutual duties of employers and employees, and
authorizing the industrial accident commission of the State to make
and enforce the necessary rules and regulations for the carrying out
of the general purposes of the act.
A law of Massachusetts applying to bakeries only (ch. 418) pre­
scribes ventilation, sanitation, a supply of toilets, washbasins, dress­
ing rooms, etc., and forbids the employment of diseased persons.
Local health officials may require all employees to be examined with­
out expense to them.
Failure to pay inspection fees within 30 days after notice entails a
penalty in an amount equal to the delinquent fees under an Oregon
amendment-(ch. 2a).

REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1920.

In New York (ch. 604) and Rhode Island (ch. 1849) the salaries
of factory inspectors are advanced—in New York in the first, second,
and third groups by $300 per annum, in the fourth by $400, and in
the sixth by $500. Similar increases were made affecting the salaries
of mercantile inspectors. In Rhode Island the chief factory inspector
receives $3,000 instead of $2,500, and has a deputy at $2,500 and
three assistants at $2,000 each, instead of four assistants at $1,500
each.
Boiler inspection is provided for by a Maryland statute (ch. 676),
a board of boiler rules being created to formulate rules and regula­
tions for the construction and installation of steam boilers of over
15 pounds pressure, the same to be in effect January 1, 1921, with­
out further legislative action. The salaries of the boiler inspector
and deputy are advanced $500 each under a Rhode Island law
(ch. 1902).
MINES.

A Kentucky statute (ch. 20) prescribes the construction of wash
rooms at coal mines, foundries, and places of similar occupation
where grease, smoke, grime, and perspiration endanger the health
or make the condition of the workers offensive to the public. The
act applies .where 30 or more persons are at work and 30 per
cent or more of the employees request such^ accommodations.
Two or more employers may unite in the supply of the pre­
scribed conveniences. Mines that will be worked out within two
years and places where the cost of water supply is prohibitive are
exempt. In Maryland the governor is authorized to appoint a com­
mission to draw up a code of laws to govern mine operators, one
member representing the operators, one the miners, and one the
public (ch. 715). Laws of Ohio (pp. 1111 and 1278) relate, the
former to the use of electricity in mines, permitting the use of
alternating currents under certain conditions, and the latter to the
establishment of five rescue stations in the mine district of the State
at State expense. Qualified superintendents are to have charge, giv­
ing their entire time to the work, which includes the training of
crews to render the necessary aid,
RAILROADS*

The New York law (ch. 430) designating certain standards of
construction and equipment of coal jimmies and caboose cars was
made compulsorily effective July 1, 1921, instead of in 1920. An­
other law of the State (ch. 867) amended the act relative to the
inspection of locomotive boilers, providing for six inspectors acting
under the direction o f the public service commission, serving at
salaries fixed by it, in lieu of a single inspector at a salary of $3,000.
The State corporation commission of Virginia is authorized (ch.
281) to require the erection of shelters over railroad repair tracks
where heavy repair work is carried on.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
In Massachusetts children under 16 may not operate, clean, or
repair any freight elevator (ch. 298). Under a Virginia law (ch.




WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

11

390) children over 12 years of age may work not over 8 hours
per day in canneries when schools are not in session—a provision
that raises the question of the sales of the products of such can­
neries in view of the.Federal tax law, which fixes the minimum
age at 14. Another act of the same legislature (ch. 507) amends
the general regulation act for children by reducing the hours of
labor for children under 16 to 8 per day instead of 10 and forbidding
night work between 9 p. m. and 7 a. m. instead of 7 p. m. and 6 a. m.
as formerly.
The law of New York relative to the physical examination of
children entering employment was amended (ch. 601) so as to apply
to those in mercantile establishments as well as to those in factories.
The Kentucky law relative to employment certificates was amended
(ch. 152) by limiting the prescribed requirements to children under
16 years of age, though minors over 16 may apply for and secure
certificates. The present law requires medical certificates to be pro­
cured in all cases of applicants under 16 years of age.
- The Maryland law formerly permitted boys over 14 years of age
who are mentally retarded so as not to be able to attain the normal
standard of advancement in school to secure temporary work per­
mits. This privilege was extended to children of both sexes by the
recent legislature (ch. 434). Another law of this State (ch. 667)
permits minors to appear in theatrical performances for one week
under a license!procurable by payment of $5 if they are licensed
for such employment by certificates issued by other Stated.
The Delaware Legislature (eh. 48) reenacted the code of laws
governing the public schools of the State, retaining the provisions
of the Act of 1919 with regard to compulsory school attendance
and the issue of work certificates. The Kentucky law as to school
attendance was amended (ch. 43) with regard to the attendance of
children from 14 to 16 years of age. Attendance is compulsory to
16, but if steadily and lawfully employed, children of 14 may receive
employment certificates and be exempt. However, if they have not
completed 8 years of school work they must attend a continuation
school. A New York law (ch. 852) contemplates continuation
schools in factories, etc., in which foreign-born and native adults
and minors over 16 may receive instruction in English, history,
civics, etc., for the promotion of good citizenship and to increase
vocational efficiency; $100,000 is appropriated therefor.
Covering the broad field of the employment of children, the Ala­
bama Department of Child Welfare will hereafter receive $30,000
per annum instead of $12,400 as formerly (No. 4). A house reso­
lution of Kentucky (ch. 193) authorizes the appointment of a chil­
dren’s code commission by the governor. This is to consist of 5 mem­
bers serving without compensation, though expenses are allowed, to
“ survey the entire field of child welfare ” in the State and report to
the next regular session of the legislature. In New York also (ch. 699)
a commission was appointed to collate and study all laws of the State
relating to child welfare, eliminate duplications, and propose amend­
ments. Three members of the senate, 3 of the assembly, 5 repre­
sentatives of the public appointed by the governor, and 5 repre­
sentatives of State departments make up the commission. In Loui­
siana (No. 36) the commission of 1918 to investigate the conditions




12

of employment of women and children received an appropriation of
$400 for its expenses.
The New Jersey statute fixing the hours of labor of women was
amended (ch. 236) by eliminating the amount of the minimum fine
for first and second offenses, leaving the maximum unchanged.
Failure to post the law or to keep records are added as violations
subjecting to- penalty.
The New York statute of 1919 fixing the hours of labor of women
employed on street railroads was restricted in its application so as
to apply only to those women employed as conductors and guards,
other occupations falling within the general law (ch. 284)*.
EMPLOYMENT OFFICES.
The Congress appropriated $225,000 to enable the Secretary of
Labor to foster the welfare of wage earners by coordinating the
public employment service of the country and publishing informa­
tion as to opportunities for employment (ch. 161, third session).
A system of free employment offices was established in Kansas
(ch. 62), an office to be maintained in Topeka and not more than
four outside. In South Dakota also (ch. 54) a free public employ­
ment ser^ic^jv^. established, under the immigration commissioner,
who is also to seek to prevent frauds and to aid^ft
.collection of
wage debts. The employment commission of
was abolished
(ch, 3) and its powers and duties with regard to public employe
ment agencies transferred to the industrial board or the State.
Private employment agencies in Massachusetts may have their
licenses revoked by the local licensing authorities for violations of
the laws controlling them (ch. 216). The amendment designates
the agency authorized to make the revocation, the law formerly stat­
ing simply that 66licenses shall be revoked.” In Georgia (p. 118)
private agencies must secure licenses and make reports to the labor
commissioner whether they charge a fee or not, instead of only those
charging fees as formerly. Daily reports must be made by emigrant
agents, instead of monthly reports as formerly, and a new regula­
tion applies to persons hiring workers for their own employment
outside the State. Another act (p. 87) defines emigrant agents as
persons procuring laborers to work outside the State, this definition
being added to section 632 of the Penal Code.
Texas statutes (chs. 13, 14) also relate to emigrant agents. Such
agents are defined as in the Georgia law and must be licensed by the
State commissioner of labor statistics on indorsement by “ at least 3
credible men.” A license fee of $100 is required for each county, and
an office must be maintained in which complete records of the busi­
ness done are kept subject to examination by the commissioner of
labor statistics. The second act requires an annual occupation tax
of $500 in addition to the license fee. Penalties of fine or imprison­
ment are provided for violation.
BUREAUS OF LABOR.
Except for the creation of a women’s bureau in the United States
Department of Labor (ch. 248, 2d sess.), only minor changes are to




RETIREMENT FUNDS.

13

be noted under this heading. In New York (ch. 242) a bureau of
industrial codes was added to the bureaus existing in the department
of labor; an additional deputy commissioner to assist in hearing
compensation cases was provided for (ch. 539), and a minor provi­
sion added as to publication of variations of the labor law authorized
by the industrial board (ch. 602). In Rhode Island the salary of
the deputy commissioner of labor was advanced from $1,800 to $2,300
(ch. 1865).
MOTHERS’ PENSIONS.
The Delaware law on this subject was amended (ch. 54)* by in­
creasing considerably the appropriations that may be made annu­
ally for each of the three"counties of the State. A new law was en­
acted in Louisiana (No. 209) to be administered by the juvenile
courts, or, if none in the county, by the district courts. Payments
are to be made to the wives of husbands who are permanent invalids
or prisoners in State institutions as well as to the widows o f resi­
dents. Payments are fixed at $15 per month for each child under 16
years of age, the total not to exceed $50. All funds are to be raised
locally.
Not quite in this field is the provision of maternity relief. A re­
solve of the Massachusetts Legislature (Res., ch. 85) establish^ a com­
mission to inve^fglite the subject of aid for mothers and infants and
report to the legislature as to the extent of participation that should
be made by the cities or towns of the State for medical and other pre­
natal and postnatal care. The commissioner of public health and the
commissioner of public welfare are to act on this commission with
three other persons, one of whom must be a physician and one a
woman. No provision is made for salaries, but reimbursement for
expenses is contemplated.
RETIREMENT FUNDSc
Congress provided (ch. 195, 2d sess.) for the retirement of civilSfcrvice employees of the United States, on a contributory system, at
rates ranging from $360 to $720 per annum after 30 years’ service to
$180 to $360 after 15 years. Ages of eligibility range from 62 to 70
years in the different branches of the service.
The retirement of public employees continues to receive the par­
ticular attention of the legislatures of Massachusetts and New York.
In Massachusetts (ch. 179) the term “ laborer” as used in the law
providing for the retirement of employees of cities and towns is
defined to include foremen, inspectors, mechanics, draw tenders, and
storekeepers. The maximum amount of annual pension payable is ad­
vanced to $400. Another act (ch. 416) amends the law relative to
the retirement association of State employees, clarifying the status
of those in employment at the time the law became operative and
fixing the minimum annual payment at $300 instead of $200. A like
allowance is made payable to State employees permanently disabled.
A third act (ch. 539) amends the same law, leaving the minimum as
fixed by chapter 416, but making the maximum one-half the average
salary or wages during the 5 years prior to retirement instead of
during 10 years.

REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1920.

In New York the commission on retirement of public employees
created in 1918 had the time for its report extended one year, i. e.,
to February 1, 1021 (ch. 4). A system of retirement for the civilserviee employees of the State was established (ch. 741), contributory
in its support, Retirement is optional at the age of 60 and required
at the age o f 70, though, until 1925, extensions are possible. The an­
nuities are based on the amounts contributed by the individual em­
ployee, plus one-one hundred and fortieth of the annual salary mul­
tiplied by the years of service, plus one-seventieth of the annual
salary multiplied by the years of service prior to last becoming a
member of the association.
Other acts relate to the retirement of employees of Greater New
York, one (ch. 244) adding to the list of einployees eligible for re­
tirement, the other (ch. 427) establishing a general retirement system
superseding old systems, but not applicable to the police, fire, and
street-cleaning departments and to teachers, which have separate sys­
tems. The system is contributory, and employees are divided into
three general classes: (1) Laborers and unskilled workers; (2) me­
chanics and skilled workers; and (3) clerical and administrative
employees. Retirement for age is made at 70 with options at 58
years lor class 1, 59 years for class 2, and 60 years for class 3. The
amount, of the annuity is based on service fractions and terms of
service, the fraction varying for each group. Provision is also made
for ordinary disability and accident disability; also for benefits in
case of death, ordinary or accidental.
EMPLOYERS’ LIABILITY.
Two acts of Congress, second session (chs. I ll, 250), relate to re­
covery for injuries or death of seamen. The first creates a survival
of right in case of the death of any person at sea due to wrongful
act, neglect, etc., for the benefit of the wife, husband, parent, child,
or dependent relative of the deceased. “ Just compensation for the
pecuniary loss” is contemplated, the principle of comparative negli­
gence is incorporated, and a limitation of two years fixed. The second
act gives injured seamen the same rights against their employers as
are given railroad employees by the Federal law covering interstate
commerce.
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES.
The only reference under this heading is an Ohio statute (p. 1129)
relating to reports of occupational diseases by physicians. The ex­
isting law is amended so as to cover any occupational disease or ail­
ment required by the State department of health to be reported. A
new section containing penal provisions is added.
For lack of a better classification, mention may be made here of a
provision by Congress for the medical treatment of diseased alien
.seamen in hospitals designated by the immigration official of the port,
but at the expense of the vessel (ch. 4, 3d sess.).
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
Mississippi last year made its first move in the acceptance of the
Federal act, creating a State board of vocational education and pro­




LABOR ORGANIZATIONS AND LABOR DISPUTES.

15

viding for appropriations in accordance with the Federal law (eh.
157). Amendments to existing laws were made in Kentucky (ch. 78)
and Virginia (ch. 479).
VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION.
As in the case of vocational education, the act of Congress in offer­
ing a cooperative system of vocational rehabilitation of disabled
persons (ch. 219, 2d sess.) has been effective in securing action in this
neld. Costs are to be equally shared by the States, plans, etc., to be ap­
proved by the Federal board. The Legislature o f Georgia (p. 279) ac­
cepted the Federal provision, making the State treasurer custodian of
all moneys. The board of vocational education is also made the board
of vocational rehabilitation, the purpose of the law being to re­
store the industrial capacity of all persons injured in industry or
otherwise. The maximum amount allowed by the Federal law was
accepted by making a general appropriation. In Alabama also (No.
86) cooperative action in this field was provided for under the gen­
eral direction of the State educational authorities. Similar action
was taken in New Jersey (ch. 359), administration devolving upon
the State board of education in cooperation with the workmen s com­
pensation bureau and the State commission on rehabilitation. New
York also accepted the provisions of the Federal law (cli. 760),
making the commissioner of education, a melnber of the State indus­
trial commission, and the commissioner of health an advisory com­
mission in regard to the undertaking. The existingjaw was amended
by authorizing increased compensation to persons undergoing re­
habilitation under the provisions of the State workmen’s compensa­
tion law. The Legislature of Virginia likewise accepted the act in
anticipation of its enactment, placing its administration under the
industrial commission of the State and limiting its scope to em­
ployees coming under the State compensation act (ch. 392).
The Legislature of Oregon in 1919 set aside the sum of $400,000
from the State industrial accident fund for the building of an 66in­
dustrial and reconstruction hospital.” This act was repealed in 1920
(eh. 4), and a fund of $100,000 set aside for the rehabilitation of
injured workmen, the work to be carried on by the industrial accident
commission in cooperation with public schools having vocational
departments.
In Massachusetts (Res., ch. 70) a commission was created to in­
vestigate and report upon the subject of the rehabilitation and voca­
tional training of persons victims of industrial injuries. Expenses
are provided for but no compensation for services.
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS AND LABOR DISPUTES.
A Kansas statute (ch. 24) provides for the incorporation of labor
organizations. Five or more persons may form a corporation to pro­
mote the interest and welfare of labor and industry, no fees or taxes
except filing and recording fees being provided for, the corporation
being not for profit. The status otherwise is the same as other cor­
porations. In Rhode Island (ch. 1833) insignias and badges of
labor unkwns and other organizations are protected against unau­
thorized use after registration with the secretary of state.




16

REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1020.

Powers of conciliation were conferred upon the industrial commis­
sioner of South Dakota (ch. 61); while in New York (ch. 894) a
labor board was created to be appointed by the governor, with the
function of preventing or adjusting strikes and lockouts. The sum
of $25,000 was appropriated for expenses. Experts employed by the
Massachusetts board of conciliation and arbitration (ch. 361) may
receive $10 per day instead of $7 as formerly.
Congress, in returning the railroads to private ownership, estab­
lished a system of boards for the adjustment of labor disputes (ch.
91, 2d sess.). A Federal board of nine members, representing labor,
management, and the public is provided for besides boards of labor
adjustment of adjunct jurisdiction.
Perhaps the most notable legislation in this field is the establish­
ment of the court of industrial relations by a Kansas statute (ch. 29).
This court consists of three judges appointed for terms of three years
each, and has jurisdiction o f industries “ affected with a public inter­
est.” Interference with these interests by any party is forbidden, and
the court has full control and jurisdiction over their operation to pre­
vent interference therewith or their cessation by action of either em­
ployers or employees. Other acts (chs. 2, 61) make appropriations
and fix salary rates for the officers and employees of this court.
The so-called “ antistrike ” law of Texas (ch. 5) applies only to the
interruption of the free movement of commerce by either individual
or edHteetiTO action. Another statute (ch. 9) creates an industrial
commission of 5 members to be appointed by the governor, repre­
senting employer#, employees, and the public for the adjustment of
controversies between employers and employees on reference made
to them by the governor. This commission may hold hearings and
summon witnesses and is to make recommendations to the governor
besides reporting to the legislature. Services are uncompensated
but expenses are allowed.
SYNDICALISM AND SABOTAGE.
A Kansas law (ch. 37) defines criminal syndicalism and sabotage
and provides penalties therefor. The owner of a building know­
ingly permitting the assemblage therein of persons violating this act is
himself guilty of a misdemeanor. A Kentucky statute (ch. 100)
provides for the punishment of criminal syndicalism, but is limited
entirely to political agitations, with no reference to industrial
matters.
COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS.
Agricultural, dairy, and horticultural associations may be coopera­
tively organized by five or more persons engaging therein not for
profit under a New Jersey law (ch. 154). In New York (ch. 591) the
buying, selling, etc., of houses and farms, the building of homes, and
the conducting of eating places are added to the list Of activities that
may be carried on by cooperative associations. A new article is
added to the business law providing- for cooperative associations of
consumers (ch. 166). Five or more persons not dealers, except in
their own products, may organize for the production and handling




HOUSING.

17

of foods, supplies, etc., for the families of members. The hiring of
labor, instruction in home economics, and related activities may be
engaged in. In Porto Rico (No. 3) seven or more persons may form
cooperative associations for any undertaking, commercial, agricul­
tural, manufacturing, mining, etc. No member may hold more than
$1,000 in stock nor have more than one vote. The Virginia law on
this subject (sec. 3855, Code of 1919) was amended generally, but
with no special change in principle (ch. 382). The matter of the
division of profits is the subject of an amendment to the law of South
Dakota on this subject (ch. 37).
CIVIL RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES.
In New Jersey (ch. 349) employers are forbidden to interfere with
the franchise right of their employees by any sort of duress or con­
straint or to convey expressions of opinion in pay envelopes or by
posters about the place. The law applies to corporations as well as
to individuals. An absent voter’s law was enacted in New York (ch.
875) in accordance with an amendment to the constitution adopted
in 1919. Persons absent from home on account of their duties may
vote by mail if anywhere in the United States, on compliance with
the prescribed conditions.
CONVICT LABOR.
A law of Kansas (ch. 65) provides for pay to convicts engaged in
the mining of coal where their production exceeds 9 tons per week
per man, the excess to be credited at rates paid miners under like
conditions in the same district. Sums earned may be paid either to
the miner or his dependents under regulations adopted by the State
board of administration. Laws of Kentucky (ch. 159) and New
York (ch. 170) provide for the employment of convicts on highways,
the first carrying over the provisions of chapter 36, Acts of 1916,
repealed in 1920; while the second adds a new section relative to the
employment of inmates of State reformatories. An amendment to
the law of South Dakota permits the employment of convicts at any
place in the State on any work in which the State is interested, in­
stead of only on the State farm, or about the penitentiary (ch. 90).
HOUSING.
Porto Rico has a law under which homes for workingmen are to
be built and leased or sold under prescribed conditions. This act
was amended in 1920 by providing that income in excess of expenses
shall go for the purchase of new land and the erection of new
houses instead of being turned into a sinking fund. Areas of farm
land are to be determined according to the quality and the crops to
be raised thereon instead of being absolutely limited to “ not over
two hectares ” (No. 2). Another act (No. 19) applies the principles
of the original law to the development of public lands owned by the
municipality of San Juan by establishing city improvements and
erecting homes for workingmen and laborers.

REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1920.

A law of New Mexico (ch. 6) provides for the establishment of
a land-settlement board, to provide homes for soldiers, sailors, ma­
rines, and nurses o f the late war.
In Louisiana (ch. 19) a commission of nine persons is to be ap­
pointed by the governor to recommend definite plans for the promo­
tion of home building and such changes in the laws and the consti­
tution of the State as will bring about better and more adequate
housing for wage earners. The commission is directed to make a
report to the governor and is authorized to have necessary printing
done, but no appropriation was made for its use.
A broader field is covered by a Massachusetts law (ch. 628) extend­
ing the activities of the commission on the necessaries of life, cre­
ated by an act of 1919. This commission is to investigate complaints
and make a survey of the housing situation, and may cooperate with
Federal, municipal, and other agencies dealing with the necessaries
of life,
