SEEKING SOLUTION
BASIC WAGE PROBLEM
PARTIES IN CONFERENCE
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) STDNEY, 16th March.
The Parliamentary Conference- adjourned till Friday, after appointing a sub-committee to draw up a new formula as a fresh.basis for discussion. Tho object is to enable the Industrial Commissioner to declare a basic wage for a man and wife and one child, such a declaration to be made in the light of tho introduction of the family endowment scheme. The idea is not to disturb the.present basic wage of £4 4 S for a man, wife, and two children, which expires in June, but to arrange a new wage to operate simultaneously with any endowment scheme- which may be decided upon.
