FORTY-HOUR WEEK.
QUESTION OF EXTENSIONS. \ . COST FACTOR PARAMOUNT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) . WELLINGTON", Thursday. The likelihood' of a move by employers, in view of the Arbitration Court's decision fixing a 40-hour week for the footwear industry, to withdraw applications for extensions' of hours beyond 40 a week was mentioned to Mr. T. 0. Bishop, secretary of the New Zealand Employers' Federation, to-day. Mr. Bishop said the effect of the judgment on other brandies of industry bad n*>t yet been fully considered, as many employers were still busy preparing cases to place before the Court. The judgment dealt only with the footwear manufacturing industry, and in his opinion could affect only such other industries as were' on all fours with it. "One principle has been established, however," Mr. Bishop Said, "and that is that the cost factor is paramount in the minds of* the Court."
