VIGOROUS CRITIC.
UNENVIABLE N.Z.! Employers' Delegate Fears 4G-Hour Week. TOP-SPEED TO THE DEVIL. United Press Association. —Copyright. (Received 2 p.m.) LOXDOX, June 14. "The Times" Geneva correspondent reports that Mr. A. C. Mitchell, Wellington, Xe\v Zealand employers' delegate to the International Labour Conference, attacked the 40-hour week proposals as threatening serious repercussions to Xew Zealand. The vulnerability of her extensive export trade made her less able than any -country in the world to introduce a drastic experiment of mandatorily maintaining a rate of pay previously earned in a 44-hour week. The passing of such a proposal into law would send "God's own country" at top-speed to the devil, an unenviable experience which he hoped she would be spared.
