REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1925
B y L indley D . Clark
INTRODUCTION
Legislative sessions occurred in 1925 in all jurisdictions of the
United States except six. In all but one1 of the legislatures meet
ing, legislation was passed falling under the head of labor laws,
though in some cases it was of the border class which has been in
cluded by references or abridgment in the first part of this bulle
tin. The current bulletin is essentially a supplement to Bulletin No.
3.70, entitled “ Labor Laws of the United States, with Decisions of
Courts Relating Thereto,” embodying all legislation under the
head indicated, with the exception of workmen’s compensation laws,
up to the beginning of the year 1925. As in the larger bulletin
certain classes of laws were presented in brief or by a representative
or typical law, so in the current bulletin the classification there
adopted is retained. This results in two parts, one entitled “ Digests
and summaries of certain classes of laws affecting labor,” and the
other, “ Text and abridgment of labor laws.” In Part II are to
be found the laws of more specific interest and less generally stand
ardized, though use is also made of representative laws, as in the
case of laws regulating the employment of children and mine regu
lations, which are quite extensive and in which legislation has been
closely formulated along lines generally accepted. It has also fre
quently occurred that the changes made by amendments of 1925 are
briefly stated, instead of the entire section affected being reproduced,
A cumulative index provides references to this and the basic
bulletin.
As has been done for some years past, workmen’s compensation
legislation is treated separately and omitted from the general legisla
tive bulletin. This subject was presented in an article appearing in
the Monthly Labor Review for October, 1925 (pp. 106-121), con
siderable activitv being manifest in this field.
In view of the increased use of summary and abridgment, no
general analysis of the year’s legislation will be made, though it
may be of interest to call attention to a few items of legislation and
of legislative trend.
Reviewing the entire body of legislation for the year, it is appar
ent that the total sum is relatively small. Some striking pieces of
legislation were enacted, however, though but few of them are of
primary importance. A vigorous legislative campaign in Illinois
1

INTRODUCTION
secured the enactment of a law restricting the issue of injunctions in
labor disputes; while a novel piece of legislation in Wisconsin also
received the support of organized labor, the effect of this statute
being to require the licensing and bonding of private detectives or
“ inside shop operatives,” employed to report on labor and other
conditions. The law of Idaho on criminal syndicalism received a
specific industrial aspect by reason of the new definition of sabotage.
Contempts in cases of labor disputes were a subject of legislation in
New Jersey.
Kepeals without new enactment in the field were made of ap
prenticeship laws in New Mexico and Utah and of aotitipping laws
in Arkansas and in Tennessee.
Perhaps lying on the borders of labor legislation were a law of
California regiuating the acceptance of builders’ tools as pledges
for loans and one of North Carolina requiring certain classes of
general contractors to procure licenses. Considerable extension of
the idea of licensing occupations occurred in the single field of beauty
culture, or the occupation of cosmeticians; on the other hand the
Colorado statute relative to licensing horseshoers was repealed.
The subject of the sale of stock to employees received attention
in several States, as did also the enactment of a standardized law
relative to credit unions with a rather slight relation to industry.
The regulation of trade schools is also noted as unusual legislation
lying on the fringe of labor legislation; while of social and economic
rather than industrial interest is the slowly growing activity with
regard to old-age pensions.
There is a steady extension of the idea of retirement for employees
in public service, while the cooperation for vocational rehabilitation
proposed by the Federal Government continues to gain acceptance,
such action now being practically complete throughout the country.
PART I.— DIGESTS AND SUMMARIES OP CERTAIN CLASSES
OF LAWS AFFECTING LABOR
This part embraces such legislation as deals with the subjects
presented in Bulletin No. 370 in the corresponding section. The
same arrangement of matter is followed, except under the heading,
“ Examination, licensing, etc., of workmen,” where the items are
arranged in alphabetical order. The introductory statements of
Bulletin No. 370 continue to be applicable, and so are not here
repeated.
APPRENTICESHIP
New Mexico.—Ch. 117. Repeals the law of the State without other
enactment.
TJtah.—Ch. 55. Repeals the law of the State without other enact
ment.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Hawaii.—No. 207. Accepts Federal statute, in accordance with
act of Congress of March 10, 1924.
Montana.—Erratum. The citation under this head in Bui. No.
370 should be secs. 1311-1317, instead of secs. 3044-3049, which relate
to vocational rehabilitation.
Pennsylvania.—No. 250. This act amends throughout secs. 51395152, Pa. Stats, (secs. 1-11, No. 92, acts of 1913), which provided
for a system of vocational education as a part oi the public school
system of the State. The basic definition ox the subject now reads:
“ Vocational education” shall mean any form of education of less than
college grade, given in school or elsewhere, the purpose of which is to fit
an individual to pursue effectively a recognized profitable employment, whether
pursued for wages or otherwise.
Divisions are: Vocational industrial, vocational agricultural, voca
tional commercial, and vocational home economics education. A
“ general continuation school or class ” is also provided for, to meet
the needs of minors between 14 and 16 years of age who are required
by the child labor law to attend school 8 hours each week. Parttime cooperative training may be arranged for by the coordination
of schools and industries; also evening schools. The State is to
aid the districts in the maintenance of the various classes of schools.
Rhode Island.—Ch. 597. Amends sec. 4, ch. 68, G. L.
Tennessee.—Ch. 115, sec. 21. Embodies in a new school code the
provisions relative to State and Federal cooperation.
SCHOOLS FOR EMPLOYED CHILDREN
Tennessee.—Ch. 115, secs. 22, 23. Authorizes establishment and
maintenance of night schools for persons over 16 years of age, and
of part-time schools for children over 14 years of age who have
3
4
PART I,— DIGESTS AND SUMMARIES OP LAWS
entered employment. Classes are to be in session not less than 15
hours per week, between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m., during the weeks in
which other public schools are maintained. Courses may be sup
plemental to their work, or a continuation of their general education.
MOTHERS’ PENSIONS
Amending laws on this subject were passed in :
Illinois.—P. 185. Amends sec. 307, ch. 23 R. S. Amount of allow
ance. Fixes 16 instead of 14 as limit for age of children.
North Carolina.—Ch. 292. Amends sec. 8, ch. 260, acts of 1923.
North Dakota.—Ch. 165. Amends ch. 156, acts of 1923, throughout.
Rhode Island.—Ch. 663. Amends sec. 6, ch. 455 [2340], acts of
1923.
EXAMINATION, LICENSING, ETC-, OF WORKMEN
There is an apparent tendency to extend this method of regulating
employment in certain fields, the most noticeable recent development
being in connection with the operation of beauty parlors.
In Illinois (pp. 574, 577), two general statutes cover the same field,
one approved by the governor, the second becoming a law without his
signature. The latter is of later date, but the provisions are not
much different. The boards for examining workmen as fixed by
the latter, to be appointed by the director of the department, repre
sent employers and workmen in the occupation affected. The ex
amining board for horseshoers consists of five persons, and for bar
bers, three. The approved act provides also tor a board of three
beauty culturists to conduct examinations in that subject.
AVIATORS
Growing recognition is being given this occupation, as follows:
Connecticut.—Ch. 249. Repeals ch. 176, G. S. and chs. 207, acts of
1921, and 243, acts of 1923. Examination, not over $25. License
fee $2, annual renewals.
Massachusetts.—{Ch. 189. Amends sec. 41, ch. 90, G. L. Excludes
aviators in the service of the United States.
Minnesota.—Ch. 406 (new act). Persons other than members of
the State or United States services must have a license from the
adjutant general after examination. Fee for license is $10, for re
newal $2.
BARBEES
Minnesota—Ch. 252. Amends sec. 11, ch. 424, acts of 1921.
Permits under this section do not authorize the holder to conduct a
shop, but only to work under the supervision of a licensed barber.
Oregon.—Ch. 183. Amends secs. 8268-8271, 8274, 8275, O. L. Reg
istration fee for apprentices is $10.
Utah.—Ch. 122. Amends secs. 367, 368, 370, 371, 374, 376; adds
secs. 368x, 368x1, 371x, C. L. Fee for examinations, $10; same for
registration of qualified barber from another State. Apprentice fee,

EXAMINATION, LICENSING, ETC., OF WORKMEN
5
BEAUTY PARLORS
Several States this year took steps to secure the examination and
licensing of proprietors of beauty parlors, or cosmeticians, or cos
metic therapists, as they are variously designated. State boards of
examiners and tne recognition of schools for the training of practi
tioners are features of most laws.. The scope of the laws is fairly
indicated by the provisions of the act of the Arkansas Legislature
on the subject, though a more detailed enumeration of processes is
found in other laws.
Arkansas.—No. 158. Persons to whom the act applies are:
(A) Any person who engages for compensation in any one of the classifica
tions of the following practices, to w it:
Dressing, curling, waving, cleansing, cntting, singeing, bleaching, coloring, or
similar work upon the hair of any person, by any means, shall be construed
to be practicing the occupation of hairdressing.
(B) Any person who,#with hands, mechanical, or electrical apparatus, or
any other appliances, or by use of cosmetic preparations or antiseptics, engages
for a compensation [in] any one or any combination of the foUowing practices,
to wit: Massaging, cleansing, manipulating, or similar services upon the scalp,
face, neck, arms, bust, and shoulders, manicuring the nails, removing super
fluous hair about the body of any person, shall be construed to be practicing
the occupation of cosmetic therapy.
Applicants for license must be 16 years of age, have training

istration fee of $5. Apprentice registration fee is $1.

per annum. Fee for license of hairdresser or cosmetician, on exami
nation, is $10; for assistant, $5. Annual renewal, $2 for each class.

examination for hairdresser and cosmetician, $15; for various other
branches, different sums. Age 18.

apparently also a 44required fee” for examination; licensed prac
titioners from other States may register without examination,
fee, $10.

examination is required, amount not named, and for registration,
in addition to examination fee, $5 for a hairdresser, $5 for cos
metician or cosmetologist, and $2.50 for an apprentice.

law, secs. 159.01-159.16. Managers and itinerants must be 21; license,
$15; annual renewal, $10. Manicurists (and apparently operators)
must be 18; each pay initial and renewal fees of $2. Apprentice

buildings, highway construction, etc., where the cost of the completed
work is in excess of $10,000, to procure licenses from a State board

PART H.— TEXTS AND ABRIDGMENT OP LABOR LAWS
(2) In the discharge of his duties such agent shall have every power what
soever of an inquisitorial nature granted in this act to the commission and the
same powers as a referee appointed by a superior court with regard to taking
testimony.
(3) The commission may conduct any number of such investigations con
temporaneously through different agents, and may delegate to such agents the
taking of all testimony bearing upon any investigation or hearing. The action
of the commission shall be based upon its examination of all testimony and
records. The recommendation made by such agents shall be advisory only and
shall not preclude the taking of further testimony if the commission so orders,
nor further investigation.
Sec. 21. Attorneys.—Upon request of the commission, the attorney general,
or the county attorneys of the county in which any investigation, hearing or
trial had under the provisions of this act is pending, shall aid therein and
prosecute, under the supervision of the commission, all necessary actions or
proceedings for the enforcement of this act.
Sec. 22. Technical omissions.—A substantial compliance with the require
ments of this act shall be sufficient to give effect to the orders of the commis
sion, and they shall not be declared inoperative, illegal, or void for any omis
sion of a technical nature in respect thereto.
Sec. 23. Vacating orders.—Any employer or other person in interest, being
dissatisfied with any order of the commission, may commence an action in the
superior court of the county where the property, plant or place of employment
affected by such order may lie, against the commission as defendant, to set
aside, vacate or amend any such order, on the ground that the order is un
reasonable or unlawful, and the superior court is hereby authorized and vested
with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine such action. The commis
sion shall be served with summons as in other civil cases. The answer of the
commission shall be filed within ten days after the service of summons upon it,
and with its answer it shall file a certified transcript of its record in said
matter. Upon the filing of said answer, said action shall be at issue, and
shall be advanced and assigned for trial by the court, upon the application of
either party at the earliest possible date.
Sec. 24. Stay of court proceedings.—
(1) If, upon the trial of such action, it shall appear that all issues arising in
such action have not theretofore been presented to the commission in the peti
tion filed, as provided in section 13, or that the commission has not thereto
fore had ample opportunity to hear and determine any of the issues raised,
in said action, or for any reason has not in fact heard and determined the
issues raised, the court shall, before proceeding to render judgment, unless the
parties to such action stipulate to the contrary, transmit to the commission a
full statement of such issues not adequately considered, and shall stay further
proceedings in such action for fifteen days from the date of such transmission,
any may therefore grant such further stay as may be necessary.
(2) Upon the receipt of such statement, the commission shall consider the
issues not theretofore considered, and may alter, modify, amend or rescind
its order complained of in said action and shall report its order thereon to
said court, within ten days from the receipt of the statement from the court,
for further hearing and consideration.
(3) The court shall thereupon order the pleading to be so amended as to
raise the issues resulting from such alteration, modification, amendment or
rescission of the commission’s order, and shall thereafter proceed with such
action in the manner provided by law for other civil actions.
Sec. 25. Jurisdiction of courts.—No court of this State, except the superior
court and the supreme court on appeal, shall have jurisdiction to review,
vacate, set aside, reverse, revise, correct, amend, or annul any order of the
commission or to suspend or delay the execution or operation thereof, or to
enjoin, restrain, or interfere with the commission in the performance of its
official duties: Provided, That the writs of mandamus shall lie from the said
supreme court to the commission in all proper cases, and appeal shall lie from
the superior court to the supreme court in all cases.
Sec. 26. Power of court to suspend orders.—The pendency of an action to
set aside, vacate, or amend an order of the commission shall not of itself stay
or suspend the operation of an order of the commission, but, during the pend
ency of said action, the said superior court in its discretion may stay or
suspend, in the whole or in part, the operation of the commission’s order.
But no order so staying or suspending an order of the commission shall be
ARIZONA— ACTS OF 1925
63
made by the said court otherwise than upon three days’ notice and after
hearing. In case the order is stayed or suspended, the order of the court
shall not become effective until a suspending bond first shall have been exe
cuted and filed in the action and approved by the court or the clerk thereof,
payable to the State of Arizona, and sufficient in amount and security to
insure the prompt payment by the party petitioning to set aside, vacate or
amend such order of ail damages caused by the delay in the enforcement of
the order of the commission.
Sec. 27. Preference of proceedings.—All actions and proceedings under this
act, and all actions or proceedings to which the commission or this State may
be parties, and in which any question arises under this act or under or con
cerning any order of the commission, shall be preferred over all other civil
cases, except election causes and causes involving or affecting the corporation
commission, irrespective of position on the calendar. The same preference
shall be granted upon application of the attorney of the commission in any
action or proceeding in which he may be allowed to intervene.
Seo. 28. Penalties.—If any employer, employee, or other person shall violate
any provisions of this act, or shall do any act prohibited by this act, or shall
fail or refuse to perform any duty lawfully enjoined, within the time pre
scribed by the commission for which no penalty has been specifically provided,
or fail, neglect, or refuse to obey any lawful order given or made by the com
mission, or any judgment or decree made by any court in connection with
the provision of this act, for each such violation, failure or refusal such
employer or other person shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than $1,000
for the offense, and not less than $100 nor more than $5,000 for each subsequent
offense.
Sec. 29. Statements by employers.—Every employer shall furnish the com
mission, upon request, all information required by it to carry out the pur
pose of this act. In the month of July of each year, every employer shall
prepare and mail to the commission at the state capitol, Phoenix, Arizona, a
statement containing the following information, viz: The number of employees
employed during the preceding year from July 1 to June 30, inclusive; the
number of such employees employed at each kind of employment; and the
scale of wages paid to each class of employments showing the minimum and
maximum wage paid, and the aggregate amount of wages paid to all employees,
which information shall be 'furnished on a blank or blanks to be prepared by
the commission; and it shall be the duty of the commission to furnish such
blanks and other blanks required by this act to employers free of charge, upon
request therefor. Every employer shall cause said blanks to be properly filled
out so as to answer fully and correctly all questions therein propounded and
to give all the information therein sought, or if unable to do so, he shall give
to the commission in writing good and sufficient reason for such failure. The
commission may require the information herein required to be furnished to be
certified under oath and returned to the commission within the period fixed
by it or by law. The commission, or any member thereof, or any person
employed by the commission for that purpose, shall have the right to examine,
under oath, any employer, or the officer, agent, or employee thereof, for the
purpose of ascertaining any information which such employer is required by
this act to furnish to the commission. Any employer who shall refuse to
furnish to the commission the annual statement herein required, or who shall
refuse to furnish such other information as may be required by the commis
sion under authority of this section, or who shall willfully furnish a false or
untrue statement, shall be liable to a penalty of not to exceed $500 for such
offense, to be collected in a civil action brought against said employer in the
name of the State; all such penalties, when collected, shall be paid to the
compensation fund hereinafter provided for.
