The principle of enforcing child labor laws in Wisconsin by awarding 

 triple damages against employers in cases where children under 17 are 

 injured when working without a labor permit was upheld by the Supreme 

 Court in the case of the Faust Lumber Company against Arthur Gaudette, 

 and the Mueller & Son Company, box manufacturers, against John Got- 

 hard. The employers brought suit to prevent the Industrial Commission 

 of Wisconsin from assessing triple damages as directed li.v the state laws, 

 the legalit.v of which was attacked. Gaudette, a minor, working without 

 a permit for Ingalls & Nichols, contractors on log loading for the Faust 

 company at Antigo, was Injured. The commission awarded the usual 

 compensation fixed by law, amounting to $541, and assessed a penalty of 

 $1,240 additional. Gothard, aged 15 years, was injured while working 

 for the Mueller company at Milwaukee. He represented his age to be 

 17 to the employer when hired. Nevertheless, the commission awarded 

 the usual damages of $14.'? as compensation and assessed a penalty of 

 $286 because the boy was employed without a permit. The lower court 

 sustained the position of the commission in both cases and these decisions, 

 are now affirmed by the highest court In the state.
