GIRLS EMPLOYED AFTER HOURS
RESTAURANT MANAGER FINED (PUSS ASSOCIATION TILEGAiSj DUNEDIN. April 1When Philip Barling, trading as Savoy, Ltd., was charged in the Magistrate’s Court with employing a female in a restaurant after 10.30 pm. Barling’s counsel, Mr J, S. Sinclair, SJd that the Court would gain some idea of the defendant’s financial obligations when it was mentioned that his wages and rent bill was not less than £104)00 per annum. Counsel submitted that it was impossible to comply with the act and remain in business. Defendant, to do so, would require to dispense with the whole of the female staff of 60 girls, the majority of whom were employed in the pantry and kitchen. Even if men were available for this work they were not suitable. The defendant was certain that this incongruous section would be repealed, said counsel, who contended that the department should give up these irritating prosecutions. The Labour Department’s officer said that the defendant had been before the Court four times during' the year. It appeared that he was defying the Court and the act. These offences were carried on night after night. Barling was fined £2 10s.
