FACTORY CONDITIONS
Government’s New Bill STAMPING-OUT “SWEATING” (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, April 20. Discussing the Bill providing for important amendments to the Factories Act which is to be introduced to-day, the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, in an interview said that the Bill would extend the Government’s general industrial policy to working conditions in factories. It would have the same provisions as the I.C. and A. Amendment Bill with regard to the introduction of the 40hour week, and would deal with the practice of some factories ra “farming out work to female employees.’’ In many instances, said the Minister, this practice had become a form of sweating which the Government would do its best to abolish.
