SIX-DAY WEEK.
AUCKLAND CLOTHING FACTORIES. Por Press Association. AUCKLAND, Jan. 25. In accordance with the decision of the employers, clothing factories in Auckland will work a six-day week of 44 hours from February 1, in pursuance of tho clothing trade awards. During the past lew years a numoer of factories have been working a hveday week, closing from Friday night until Monday morning. As tho F actories Act limits tlio daily hours of work for female workers to Bi, tho weekly hours have been limited to 411. The live-day week was introduced in tho first placo as a war measure and has been continued in a number of factories by mutual agreement between tho employers and employees. Owing to tho efforts of tlio Employees’ Union in recent Arbitration Court proceedings to have tho five-day week embodied in tlio clothing trade awards, thg employers have unanimously decided to work a six-day week of 44 hours as a countermove.
