Must Let Inspectors In.

Columbus, Ohio, dispatch: The women inspectors appointed by the state commissioner of been dehied admittance to a number of factories and the commissioner appealed to the attorney general for an opinion as to the legal rights of such inspectors. The attorney general holds that a refusal on the part of the owners or managers of any industrial establishment named in the statute to permit the commissioner of labor statistics or any superintendent of a free employment bureau to enter his establishment even during working hours to gather such statistics is an infraction of the law and he may on conviction be fined in a sum from SSO to $100.”
