ARBITRATION COURT
A FIVE-DAY WEEK [Pee United Peess Association.] AUCKLAND, October 6. In the Arbitration Court the_ secretary of the Tailoresses’ Union said that some factories were working a five-day week. It was desired that other employers should come into line, cutting the* Saturday out. A factory, manager, in his evidence, said that tne five-day week was started as an experiment to get over tho absentee trouble. It originated from the workers, who suggested that better results would bo obtained in a shorter time if it were not for a subdivision of the work among fewer hands. At first tho plan succeeded, but eventually the absentee trouble recurred. It was only on a factory working a five-day week that there was a prospect of it reverting to tho old regime.
