PAY FOR HOLIDAYS
GOVERNMENT LEAD SOUGHT
In a review of recent developments, the secretary of the Auckland Employers' Association, Mr. W. E. Anderson, has expressed the opinion that efforts have been maae by unions to whittle down the powers of the Holiday and Overtime Suspension Order made by the Government last December.
Mr. Anderson said that several unions complained when the bar to working on holidays was removed, and the Minister of Labour, Mr. Webb, had advised them to appeai to the Industries Emergency Committee for exemption. A number of unions had applied for exemption. Employers were fully occupied with managing their businesses and dealing with problems arising out of the war. They claimed that the Government should make up its mind what modification of award holidays was necessary to meet war conditions and, having made up its mind, should issue an order in clear language and tell employers and workers that the order is final and must be obeyed
