Appendix VI LABOR LAWS OF NEW YORK STATE 1913 COMPILED BY THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS AND INFORMATION [*1] INTRODUCTORY NOTE. In this compilation are included all the laws in force concerning labor with amendments to and including 1913, except the Workmen's Compensation Law which is printed in a separate appendix at p. 237.* Of first importance, of course, is the general Labor Law, but in addition to that statute there is a large number of laws which also directly or indirectly affect labor and these are given, classified by subjects, following the general Labor Law. The texts are given as in the Consolidated Laws of 1909 and 1910, or as since amended. References are given to all such amendments. For references to the sources, both original acts and amendments, of the various provisions as enacted in the Consolidated Laws, see a similar compilation in the Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor for 1909 (Appendix VI). In notes are given cross references to laws, and references to court decisions or opinions of the Attorney-General construing the laws. The latter may be found in the reports of the Attorney-General or in the reports of the Commissioner of Labor for the years indicated. [2*] CONTENTS. General provisions (§§ 3-22).
