REVIEW OF LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1929
Introduction
During the legislative year of 1929, 43 States met in regular
session, Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Virginia
being the only States that did not meet in regular session. Louisiana
and Mississippi, however, held special sessions. Of the States hold
ing regular sessions, eight held extra sessions.1 Alaska, Hawaii,
Porto Rico, and the Philippine Islands held regular sessions, and an
extra session was called in Porto Rico. The Congress of the United
States also convened in regular and special session.
Legislation affecting labor in some respect was passed by all of the
legislatures meeting during the year, whether in regular or special
session, with the exception of Louisiana and Mississippi.
During the year 1929, four States (California, Minnesota, Utah,
and Wyoming] provided for the establishment of old-age pension
systems. Florida, Maryland, and New Hampshire repealed the
mother’s pension laws, and in their stead enacted new legislation.
The subject of the examination and licensing of barbers received
attention, and new legislation was enacted in Arizona, Montana, Ne
vada, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, while the examination
and licensing of beauty parlor employees engaged the attention of
legislatures in Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, and Ne
braska. In general it can be said, after a careful examination of the
action of the 43 States which met in legislative session during the
year, that for the most part the laws and amendments pertaining in
general or particular to labor were beneficial and that the various
labor laws have been enlarged and strengthened.
The current bulletin is primarily and essentially a supplement
of a basic bulletin (No. 3y0) published in 1925, entitled “ Labor
Laws of the United States, with Decisions of Courts Relating
Thereto,” containing reprints, abridgments, digests, and references
to all labor legislation, with the exception of workmen’s compensa
tion laws, up to the beginning of the year 1925. Since the publica
tion of the basic volume (No. 370) yearly supplements have been
1 Connecticut, Florida, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and
Wyoming.

LABOR LEGISLATION OF 19 29
issued as follows: Bulletin No. 403, Labor Legislation of 1925; Bulle
tin No. 434, Labor Legislation of 1926; Bulletin No. 470, Labor Leg
islation of 1927; and Bulletin No. 486, Labor Legislation of 1928.
It is the intention of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after the publi
cation of the supplemental bulletin of labor legislation for 1930,
to compile a basic volume of all labor legislation up to and includ
ing the legislative year of 1931, similar to Bulletin No. 370. The
volume will be issued probably in the early part of 1932.
In the basic bulletin of 1925 certain classes of laws were presented
in brief or by a representative or typical law, and in the current
bulletin the classification and form there adopted is retained. The
subject matter is divided into two parts. The first part, entitled
“ Digests and Summaries of Certain Classes of Laws Affecting
Labor,” is of general interest to labor, and the second part, “ Text
and Abridgment of Labor Laws,” contains the laws of more specific
interest and which are less generally standardized. At the end of
the bulletin a cumulative index provides a ready reference to the
laws found in this bulletin as well as to those published in the pre
ceding bulletins.
As has been done for some years past, workmen’s compensation
legislation is treated separately and is omitted from the general
legislative bulletin. Bulletin No. 423, entitled “ Workmen’s Com
pensation Legislation of the United States and Canada as of July
1, 1926,” contains an analysis, a comparison, and the text of the
workmen’s compensation laws of the United States and Canada. In
1929, Bulletin No. 496 was published, bringing the basic volume
(No. 423) up to January 1, 1929. During the legislative year of
1929, amendments to the various State workmen’s compensation
laws appeared in the several issues of the Labor Review,2 and they
have been compiled in a separate reprint, available for distribution.

entire contract between the parties, and that all statements made by the em
ployer or by the individual employees shall, in the absence of fraud, be deemed
representations and not warranties, and that no such statement shall be used
in defense to a claim under the policy, unless it is contained in a written ap
plication.
(c) A provision for the equitable adjustment of the premium or the amount
of insurance payable in the event of a misstatement of the age of an employee.
(d) A provision that the company will issue to the employer for delivery to
the employee, whose life is insured under such policy, an individual certificate
setting forth a statement as to the insurance protection to which he is entitled,
to whom payable, together with provision to the effect that in case of the

PART 2.----TEXT AND ABRIDGMENT OF LABOR LAWS
Sec. 4317. Inspection.—It shall be the duty of the chief factory inspector, by
himself or his duly appointed deputy, to examine as soon as may be after the
passage of this act, and thereafter annually, and from time to time, all fac
tories, mills, workshops, bakeries, stores, hotels, schoolhouses, theaters, movingpicture houses, places of public assemblage, or any kind of an establishment
wherein laborers are employed or machinery used or appliances therein con
tained to which the provisions of this act are applicable, for the purpose of
determining whether they do conform to such provisions, and to granting or
refusing certificates of approval, as hereinafter provided.
Sec. 4318. Notice by employees.—Any employee of any person, firm, corpora
tion, or association operating a factory, mill, workshop, bakery, laundry, store,
hotel, schoolhouse, theater, moving-picture house, place of public assemblage,
or any kind of an establishment wherein laborers are employed or machinery
used, shall notify his employer of any defect in or failure to guard the machin
ery, appliances, ways, works or plants, on which or in or about which he is
working, when any such defect or failure to guard shall come to the knowledge
of any such employee, and if such employer shall fail to remedy such defect
then said employee may complain in writing to the chief factory inspector of
any such alleged defect in or failure to guard the machinery, appliances, ways,
works, and plants, or any alleged violation by such person, firm, corporation,
or association, of any of the provisions of this act, in the machinery and appli
ances and premises used by such person, firm, corporation, or association and
with or about which said employee is working, and upon receiving such com
plaint it shall be the duty of the chief factory inspector, by himself or his
deputy, to forthwith make an inspection of the machinery and appliances
complained of.
Sec. 4319. Certificates of inspection.—Whenever upon any examination or
reexamination of any factory, mill, workshop, bakery, laundry, store, hotel,
schoolhouse, theater, moving-picture house, place of public assemblage, or any
kind of an establishment wherein laborers are employed, or machinery used to
which the provisions of this act are applicable, the property so examined and
the machinery and appliances therein conform in the judgment of said chief
factory inspector to the requirements of this act, he shall thereupon issue to
the owner, lessee, or operator of any storehouse, factory, mill, workshop, bakery,
laundry, hotel or any kind of an establishment wherein laborers are employed
or machinery used, a certificate to that effect, and such certificate shall be
prima facie evidence as long as it continues in force of compliance on part of
the person, firm, corporation, or association to whom it is issued, with the pro
visions of this act. Such certificate may be revoked by said chief factory
inspector at any time upon written notice to the person, firm, corporation, or
association holding the same whenever in his opinion, after reexamination, con
dition and circumstances have so changed as to justify the revocation thereof.
A copy of said certificate shall be kept posted in a conspicuous place on every
floor of all factories, mills, workshops, bakeries, laundries, stores, hotels, school
houses, theaters, moving-picture houses, places of public assemblage, or any
kind of an establishment wherein laborers are employed or machinery used to

chief factory inspector such factory, mill, workshop, bakery, laundry, store,
hotel, schoolhouse, theater, moving-picture house, place of public assemblage,
or any kind of an establishment wherein laborers are employed or machinery
is used does not conform to the requirements of this act, he shall forthwith
personally or by mail serve on the person, firm, corporation, or association
operating or using such machinery or appliances or occupying such premises
a written statement of the requirements of said chief factory inspector before
he will issue a certificate as hereinbefore provided for; and upon said require
ments being complied with within a period of 30 days after said written state
ment has been served as aforesaid the said chief factory inspector shall forth
with issue such certificate; but if the person, firm, or corporation operating or
using said machinery and appliances or occupying such premises shall consider
the requirements of said chief factory inspector unreasonable and impracticable
or unnecessarily expensive, he may within ten days after the requirements of
said chief factory inspector have been served upon him, appeal therefrom or
from any part thereof to three arbitrators to whom shall be submitted the
matters and things in dispute, and their findings shall be binding upon said
applicant and upon the chief factory inspector. Such appeal shall be in writing,
addressed to the chief factory inspector and shall set forth the objection to hia
COLORADO— ACTS OF 1 9 2 9

requirements or any part thereof, and shall mention the name of one person
who will serve as a representative of said applicant calling for arbitration.
Immediately upon the receipt of such notice of appeal, it shall be the duty of
the chief factory inspector to appoint a competent person as arbitrator resident
in the county from which such appeal comes, and to notify such person so
selected, and also the party appealing, stating the cause of the arbitration, and
the place, date, and time of meeting. These two arbitrators shall select the
third within five days and, within ten days thereafter, give a hearing on the
matters of said appeal, and the findings of those arbitrators by a majority
vote shall be reported to the chief factory inspector and to the applicant and
shall be binding upon each. The expense of such arbitration shall be borne
by the party calling for the arbitration; and if said arbitrators sustain the
requirements of said chief factory inspector or any part thereon, said applicant
shall within 30 days comply with the findings of said arbitrators, and thereupon
said chief factory inspector shall issue a certificate as hereinbefore provided
(in section 5 of this a c t); but if said arbitrators shall sustain such appeal
or any part thereof the same shall be binding upon said chief factory inspector,
and any such person, firm, corporation, or association shall within 30 days after
the finding of the board of arbitrators comply with the requirements of the
chief factory inspector, as amended by said arbitrators, if so amended as herein
provided for, and thereupon said chief factory inspector shall forthwith issue
to any person, firm, corporation, or association, his certificate as provided for
in section 5 of this act: Provided, That in case such arbitrators shall decide
against such chief factory inspector, the cost of the arbitration shall be paid
out of the funds for such purposes. In case the chief factory inspector is
sustained in part by the arbitrators, the cost of the arbitration shall be divided
equitably, in proportion to that decision, the appellant paying such share as the
arbitrators may deem fair, the rest to be paid out of said fund.

notice by the chief factory inspector or any deputy factory inspector employed
in the bureau of labor statistics shall construct one or more fire escapes as the
same may be found necessary and sufficient. Said fire escape or fire escapes,
shall be provided on the outside of such factories, mills, workshops, offices,

theater, moving-picture house, place of public assemblage, or other building in
which factory or workshop is conducted, or the agent or the superintendent,
or either of them, in writing, that any such style of fire escape is not sufficient

shall deem necessary and sufficient to be provided for such factory, mill, work
shop, office, bakery, laundry, store, hotel, schoolhouse, theater, moving-picture
house, place of public assemblage, or other buildings in which people are
employed at manual or other labor at such location and of such plan and style
as shall be specified in such written order. Within 30 days after the service of
such order the number of fire escapes required in such order for such factory,
mill, workshop, office, bakery, laundry, store, hotel, or other building shall be
provided therefor, each of which will be either of the plan and style and in
accordance with the specifications in said order required or of the plan ana

provided on the inside of each such factory, mill, workshop, office, bakery,
laundry, store, hotel, schoolhouse, theater, moving-picture house, place of public
assemblage, or other buildings where people are employed at manual or other

Sec. 4322. Water-closets etc.—Every factory, workshop, office, bakery, laundry,
store, hotel, schoolhouse, theater, moving-picture house, place of public assem
blage, or other building in which four or more persons are employed shall be

provided for women and girls whenever so required by the factory inspector.
It shall be the duty of every occupant, whether owner or lessee of any premises
so used as to come within the provisions of this act to carry out the same and to

are made upon the order of the chief factory inspector or of a factory inspector
by the lessee of the premises he may at any time within 30 days after the com
pletion thereof bring an action before any justice of the peace, county or district
court, having competent jurisdiction, against any person having an interest in
such premises and may recover such portion of the expense of making such
changes and in addition as the court adjudges should justly and equitably be
borne by such defendant.
