Book Description

Excerpt from Labor Laws of New York: A Handbook, Comp by Katharine Anthony for the Brooklyn Auxiliary of the Consumers League of the City of New York, March 1, 1917 The purpose of this handbook is to give a summary, relatively complete and comparatively brief, of the Industrial Laws of New York State. In the process of condensation, many lesser details have been necessarily omitted, but it is believed that all essentials have been retained. The full text of most of the laws summarized may be found in the Consolidated Laws of 1909 and the Session Laws of the succeeding years. These volumes are easily accessible for anyone who wishes to study in detail the laws which are summarized in this handbook.* The basis of the summary is the Labor Law, including the Mercantile Law. But statutes concerning labor have also been drawn from the Compulsory Education Law, the Domestic Rela tions Law, the Penal Code, and other related statutes. The reader is asked to bear in mind, wherever Mercantile Laws are quoted, that they apply only to villages and cities with a population of three thousand or more. This study has been made as a survey of the existing stage of development of labor legislation in this State. It does not seek to point out changes and suggest reforms, except such changes as are obviously desirable and visibly approaching.
