FORTY FOUR HOUR WEEK
JUDGE BEEBY FAVOURABLE
Sydney, Feb, 16. Austr«Jiaa and N.Z. Cable Association. ■Judge Keeby of the Industrial Court, who is inquiring into the forty-four hour week question, said he thought he \yould be justified in accepting as the declared policy of the State, forty-four hours work per week as the definite adoption uf a higher industrial standard. The onus would be on the employers to prove, the adoption would be prejudicial to industry, and in cases where the employees wished to emphasise the claim that a change was desirable for the well-being of the employees the onus would be upon the employees to establish the facts.
