(by telegraph—press association.)
Christchurch, this day. A joubneyman baker said thab 15 months ago he took a place for £1 a week to do baking and cartiDg. He had to work 13 or 14 hours a day. After five months he complained, and was pub on to do bakehouse work only, working from 6 a.m to 5.30 p.m. In November last his employer got a boy, subsequently discharging witness. The boy got 7s 6d a week. William Dennymeers deposed thab ho had been 45 years in the clothing and manufacturing trade. He thought the principal difficulty they had to contend with in Christchurch was the Tailoressea' Union. Employees ought to be allowed to eat their dinner in tbe factory. Employees ought not to have wages fcr public holidays. He thought the Dunedin log a good one, as an industrious person could earn good wages undor it.
