Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Factory Legislation in Maine The police power of the state is "the power of promoting the public welfare by restraining and regulating the use of liberty and property." Factory legislation is composed of statute laws which define the method and form the police power shall take in its relation to that part of the community who labor in factories, workshops and industrial establishments of all kinds. It would immediately appear that factory legislation is a term including in most of the states much more than the narrow construction of the word would indicate. Even in the State of Maine, where as yet no elaborate factory code has been evolved in the sixty years of factory legislation, its scope is much broader than would at first be supposed. If one may define it as similar in scope to that of the Bureau of Industrial and Labor Statistics it would be "limited to legislation which has relations to the commercial, industrial, social, educational and sanitary conditions of the laboring people," i. e., conditions that have resulted from the fact that they were laborers in those fields that are recognized as "labor" fields. It takes for granted that such persons, because they are restricted by economic pressure to seek a living wage by selling their time to others, are not free competing agents in society and thus must be protected by the state. Such legislation is simply in fulfilment of the guarantee in the constitution of the states of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and is simply the concrete and definite expression of the police power which every state may use for the protection of the individual.
