SOLVE CHILD VENDER
PROBLEM
Representatives of the Juvenile
Protection association and the
state labor bureau, in conference
yesterday at Hull House, discus
sing means of solving the child
"vender problem, declared for a
bureau of licensed minors as a so
lution of the situation.
The ordinance would'prevent
. parents sending young children
out into the streets at night to
peddle gum and flowers. 3
H. E. Smoot, attorney for the
Juvenile Protective association,
was asked to frame an ordinance,
modeled on the lines of those, m
effect in Boston and Cincinnati,
wherein minors a,re especially
dealt with -by a "bureau for fi
censed minors.
Before children, who are under
school age are permitted to sell
on the streets they must obtain a
license from the bureau. To ob
tain such a license, they must
show the necessity for being ern
ployed in such manner. x
If, as is alleged to be the cage
in 97 out of every 100 cases in
Chicago, the child is provided for
by able; parents, the license is not
granted. The minor must also
show a permit from the board of
education, and must go through' a
physical examination to show fat
ness to stand the strain of the
extra work.
