(2) District- Distributors under contract with the Philip Carey Company, allotting to the Distributor an exclusive terri tory, in which exclusive territory the distributor has the exclusive right to sell Carey products. (These District Dis tributors .correspond to the affiliates provided for in the Code submitted.) In selling and distributing The Philip Carey Company has upward of seventy branches and District Distributors. Of this number thirty-five are District Distributors. These District Distributors perform in the selling and distributing of the products, the same function that a branch office performs. This .Distriot Distributor method of distribution has been used con tinuously for upward of twenty-five years and many of the pre.sent District Distributors have served in the same capacity throughout that entire period. These District Distributors have contracts with The Philip Carey Company, many of them being ten year contracts, under which a separate territory is provided for distributor and he is given the sole right within that ter ritory to sell Carey products. These contracts are exclusive in that they give to the distributor the exclusive right to sell Carey products in an exclusive territory. In territories where the Philip Carey Company does not have District Distributors, it has branch offices. The District' 73 v Distributors in their respective territories function Just as the branch offices function in other territories. This^method of distribution through District Distributors under contracts, cPXers a very large portion of the United States. For instance, District Distributors are located in: Albuquerque, New Mexico f- ... Birmingham, Alabama Buffalo, New York Chattanooga, Tennessee Chicago, Illinois ij Cleveland, Ohio li Denver, Colorado , El Paso, Texas Ft.

In addition to the 18 year minimum which th is evidence ju s tif ie s , such m aterials must be given f u ll consideration in determining the maximum hours and minimum wages which are specified in the approved code. EXHIBIT 1 -- Re: Hazards in the manufacture of asbestos products. Children's Bureau, Dept, of Labor. Ho s ta t is t ic s are available in the Oensue as to the number of minors under 18 years of are employed in establishm ents manufacturing asbestos products. According to the Census of Manufactures for 1929 ( Vol 2, page 327 ), the average number of *rage earners in a l l asbestos manufacturing establishm ents - in 192;? was 15,358. The number of persons under IS working in th is industry is therefore comparatively small, but the hazard is such th at minors under 18 shoul* be prohibited from manu 92 facturing processes. There 1* not only ft mechanical hazard, hut also ft h ealth hazard from the ftsbeetoe duet. (Occupation and Health, Ro. 37, International Labor Office, Geneva, 1925. (Asbestos)). While processes d iffe r to a c e rta in extent in d iffe re n t establishm ents, the August, 1932, Industry Report ( A tlanta R etail Credit Association, A tlanta, Georgia) gives & b rief summary of the general methods used in making products of asbestos: A fter the asbestos has been mined and milled and received by the manufacturer, i t i s sent to the picking machines to be graded and separated according to kind and siz$; the fib re i s then carded or combed by machines into strands so th a t a l l the fib re s lay in the same d irectio n . I t is next sent to the spinning room here i t i s converted into yarns of various types. Copper or brass w ires may be inserted in to the fib re by a tw isting machines to increase te n s ile strength. ptprteu* to UmCUMral l m CtM teats tSwiMI wtUW. test U>klMFmt U*t* *< OXnatar, ItS i * Ite > w IaW IuujU*] Report of Advisory Committee on Employment of Minor* in Haxerdous Occupation* THE Committor o b Vocational Guidance and ChOd Labor of the White House Conference o b Quid Health and Protection rtoommended that on advisory committee of experts be appointed to work in eooperation wiLb the Children's Bureau in determining existing .conditions with reference to occupational hazards and in formulating standards for the protection of minors against such hazards. In pur suance of this recommendation, the bureau appointed s oomnuttee which made available through its membership the experience of specialists in labor law administration.saiety engineers, ana industrial hygienists. The committee met in Washington, May 24--26, 1932, ana has embodied the wmurimcmr Anclusiocs reached at this con ference in the following report. Because of the rapid changes which take place in industrial processes, requiring new substances, new machines, and new methods of operation,and because of the discovery of the effects of old processes ana old methods, these recommendations may require revision from time to time. The Children's Bureau plans to ask the help of the committee in making *ucb revisions in the future. This report presents recommendations on the basis of existing knowledge of hazardous occupations. I t is believed it will be of great alue to State boards which, under a flexible law, have authority to make rulinp on this subject- and in the revision of standards which are embedded in child labor laws. The Children's Bureau is greatly indebted to the members of the Baeaibtia tif the committee for their work in the preparation of this report. G aact Abbott, C hit/ United Statu Children'i Bureau, Report of the Committo* Available statistics and recent investigations, limited as they are, stress the urgent need for more adequate protection of young workers against industrial accidents and occupations! diseases. It has long been recognized that the natural curiootj, lack of prudence, and imperfect muscular coordination, inherent in youth, make it danger ous to employ boys and girls in proximity to complicated machinery. Furthermore, adolescents are more susceptible than adults to such hazards as poisonous substances, vitiated air. and nervous and phys ical strain. Yet child-labor legislation has been slow to take into account this peculiar susceptibility pi the young worker to accident and occupational disease. At first it was thought sufficient to keep children out of certain establishments or industries op to a fixed sge; -onee past that age they were allowed to work as if they were sdult. JThe ides that the; should be prohibited from engaging in certain oecial kinds of work even after they were old enough to enter inustry developed late and has been embodied in laws and ruling* which even to-day are incomplete and lacking in uniformity. Some laws contain only the most general provisions agsinst employments dangerous to b it or hmb, to health or morals; others apply to a long Est of specified occupations. Some provide that these lists may be supplemented from time to time by rulings of special boards. On auwj*- (I) ^iv\ 2 the whole, the msss of thus JegisJgtioD has beeo formulated without rufficiently detailed knowledge of modern industrial conditions. Occupations prohibited in one S u te ere entirely unregulated in another, end many S utee h ere failed to prohibit occupation* that are _acknowledged to be extremely hazardous. One of the mo*t obvious weaknesses is the failure to regulate adequate]/ the cmploj. m ent of minors 16 and 17 Tears of age, although high accident rate* indicate th a t this group of immature worker* is m great need of protection. ^ ... The committee has given consideration only to those occupations in which accident or health harards are mrobred. Research is continuing along several Knee, including the htrard* involved in messenger a&rvice and in the operation of dangerous power-driven farm machinery. The committee's finding* as given befow will need revision from time to time in the Kght of increasing information and changing industrial condition*.
