The above mentioned lack of effectiveness as to the stipulations of 1864
called forth the ordinance of 1881 about the employment of minors in
manufactories, trades, and other works. Among its decrees — out of which those still
are in force that refer to trade or other work which cannot be considered
mana-factural — we will quote the following ones. To work in a manufactory, trade,
or other occupation no one must be engaged who has not reached 12 years of
age, who has not acquired the minimum of knowledge prescribed for being allowed
to leave the Common school, or who, in consequence of a delicate health or
bodily infirmity, may be considered to suffer in the future from the work in question.
Children (under 14) are not to be employed in factory work more than 6 hoon
at most, and young people (above 14 but under 18), 10 hours at most, »t
working-hours between 6 a. m. and 8 p. m., which are to be divided by
recesses of l/« hour at least for a child and 2 hours at least for young people
(out of which recesses l1/* hour at least before 3 p. m.). A 7ninor (under 18)
must not, during the recesses, stay in any of the working-rooms belonging to the
factory, nor yet be employed to clean a machine in motion. In a trade or other
employment a minor must be used for work only between 6 a. m. and 8 p. m.
and there are to be breaks of suitable recesses. A minor employed in work shall
be taught in a Common school at times appointed by the School Board after
hearing of the tradesman, or else get some corresponding instruction approved br
