HANLEY, J.

The following issues arise on appeal:

1. Is sec. 103.23, Stats., violative of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution?

2. Is sec. 103.23, Stats., in conflict with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and thus superseded by Title VII by virtue of the supremacy clause?

Child labor laws such as sec. 103.23, Stats., had their advent in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
