THE STATE FACTORY LAW

Alleged Violations In Factories In The City Of Rochester
Deputy Inspector Maloney Referred to the District Attorney-
Explanation of the Charges Against the Firm of W. S. Kimball
& Co. - Police Court Cases

Before Justice KEELER this morning in the Police Court appeared Deputy Factory Inspector Thomas MALONEY in the case of the alleged violations of the general factory law relating to the employment of children under 18 years of age, Justice KEELER said he could take no action in the case unless the district attorney appeared to prosecute as authorized by the law. Mr. MALONEY then called on District Attorney BENTON and gave his explanation of the case. He also stated that Assistant Inspector FRANEY would be in the city to-morrow in relation to the case, and both would call upon him. If the inspectors produce sufficient evidence to make out a prima facie case, the district attorney will appear in the case in the police court. One of the firms charged with violation of the law is that of W. S. KIMBALL & Co. It is alleged by Deputy MALONEY that three children under the legal age are employed there. A member of the firm explained to a representative of the Union this morning the facts which gave rise to the charge. One instance that of a woman who goes out washing by the day. Her daughter, 18 years of age, is employed at the factory, and during the day there is no one to stay at home and take care of her son, a boy under 18 years of age. At the request of the mother, W. S. KIMBALL & Co., allowed the boy to come to the factory with his sister and stay while she was there, it being thoroughly explained that he must do no work. The other instances are those of two widows with three children of about the same age as the boy. The mothers have been allowed to bring their children to the factory under like conditions. Yesterday morning Inspector MALONEY called at the KIMBALL factory, and on leaving he was met by a member of the firm, when it is said the inspector was asked; "If there is any suggestion you can make to improve the methods of work in the factory we would like to know it." Mr. MALONEY replied: "No; it is as clean and well conducted a factory as any I have visited."
