44-HOUR WEEK FACED WITH EQUANIMITY
Grocers’ President’s Views An opinion that the grocery trade would easily adjust itself to the new conditions, as it had done on past occasions. was expressed by the president of the Wellington master grocers (Mr. J. F. Turnbull) when the 44hour week was discussed at the recent monthly meeting. Mr. Turnbull said he had taken an active pprt in a campaign some years ago for the reduction of hours. Some grocers then had strenuously opposed the movement, but it was felt that no grocer now would care to go back to unlimited hours. The secretary was instructed to endeavour to arrange a meeting with kindred associations to consider the hours for closing. A Featherston member said that the suggested hours would be inconvenient to them, but the chairman pointed out that the provincial districts had the privilege of arranging the hours to suit themselves.
