made more meaningful through a
mendments to the art which will
become effective >ri Jnntiai -
I960.
Application of the law’ chibl
labor provisions will l»- changed m
these four major re pect>>:
1. By extending the coverage
of the act’s child-labor provision*
to include the area covered by the
minimum-wage and overtime pay
provisions engagement in com
merce. Originally, the child lalror
provisions applied only to c hildren
in establishments producing for in
terstate commerce.
2. By directly prohibiting cm
ploymont of “oppressive child la
bor” (generally- boys and girls un
der 10 years of age) in interstate
commerce or In the production of
giiod* for corn mere*. Previously, j
the act provided merely a 80 day
restriction or hiproont in com- >
, merco of good- produced in an es
tablishment where under age min- |
I i»ii had tx-on employed
3, By confining the exi nipt ion j
i of ehilil labor in agriculture to
periods “outside of school hour*

ed " Loopholes in the original act
resulted in the loss of valuable
schooling for thousands of hoy*
and girl* because the restriction

periods “while not legally requir
ed to attend school.” Since com
pulsory school laws vary from
State to State, there was unequal
application of the law to children
employed in agriculture.
