TIMBER WORKERS' PAY

Timber workers who are now working overtime to compensate for the holiday observed on Labour Day, will receive overtime rates of pay, stated Mr. F. Craig, secretary of the New Zealand Timber Workers' Union, last evening. He added that, following the wording of the announcement that timber workers would have to make up time lost through observance of the Labour Day holiday, he had had numerous complaints from men in various parts of the country who thought that the overtime would be paid for at ordinary rates. He sought a ruling from the timber controller, who had now informed him that overtime rates would be paid for the work.
