Scope and Content Note

The War Council granted dispensations from peacetime restrictions on the hiring of minors to industries doing war-related work. Periodic orders were issued to grant a group of companies dispensation for up to six months.

Each order lists: company name; address; number and sex of minors allowed to work; jobs performed; number of work days permitted per week; number and duration of lunch and rest periods required; and maximum work hours per week. All the companies were given a dispensation duration period (usually 3 to 6 months) and a date the order would become effective. Later orders also granted dispensation renewals.
