Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the child labor statute applies to minors who are permitted or suffered to work with power‑driven machinery even when not employed, that a violation of the statute constitutes negligence per se, and that the trial court erred in dismissing the plaintiffs' negligence action, reversing and remanding the case.
