THE BASIC WAGE.
PREPARING NEW FORMULA. SYDNEY, March 16. The Parliamentary Conference adjourned till Friday after appointing a sub-committee to draw up a new formula as a fresh basis for discussion. The object is to enable the Industrial Commissioner to declare a basic wage for a man and wife and one child, such a declaration to be made in the light of the introduction of the family endowment scheme. The idea is not to disturb the present basic wage of £4 4s for a man, wife and two children, which expires in June, but to arrange a new wage to operate simultaneously with any endowment scheme which may be decided upon.—» Press Association.
