BAKERS AND THE 40-HOUR WEEK.
WILL AFFECT THE QUALITY OF
BREAD
Wellington, July 1
The difficulties in the way of applying the 40-liour week prescribed in the Factories Amendment Act to the baking and pastrycook industry in NeAV Zealand were stressed by the employers when asking for an extension of hours to 44 and the right to work ten hours in any one day, in the Arbitration Court' to-day.
The employers claimed that speeding up the process of breadmaking to conform to the resti’iction of hours would seriously affect the quality of the loaf with a resultant falling off in the'consume tion of wheat products.
The application was opposed by a representative of the workers who said that the employers had consistently opposed every reform proposed. The Court- reserved its decision.
