Armed with the IndustrUl Home¬ work Law, the first real piece of legistation designed to protect wo¬ men and children and prevent their exploitation by unethical employers, the department is prepared to eradl cate this parasitic system of cheap Ubor.
This measure which was sponsored by Ralph M- Bashore. secretary of the Department, and enacted into law by a liberal legislature became-> effective September 1. 1937 ' "On that day," declared Secretary Bashore, "thousands of women and children, especially the latter, will be liberated from the grip ol em- poyers who created and tolerated a vicious system which was little re¬ moved from abject slavery.
