APPRENTICES
j UNIONS CRITICISED The attitude o£ workers' organisations towards the apprenticeship question is criticised in the annual report of the Wellington Employers' Association "The training of apprentices," the report states, "is a matter of concern to employers and a problem that presents many difficulties; especially is this so at a time of rapidly changing economic conditions, when the tendency is to place more and more restrictions on industry. Demands have been made on employers in several industries for amendment of apprenticeship order conditions. "No desire is shown by the workers' organisations in the various trades to see that a full supply of tradesmen is made available: the strict limitation of the number of apprentices is one indication of the desire to look too much to the material welfare of their members and not enough to the welfare of the trades which give their I members employment. It therefore becomes every employer to take full advantage of the present opportunities of obtaining and training apprentices."
