CHANGE OPPOSED
(Press Assn.) DUNEDIN, April 18. The Otago Retailers' Association is not in favour of the adoption of the proposal for a five-day week. The secretary (Mr H. D. Tennent) said it was felt by the association that the time was not opportune for saek a move which must have *an effect on other trades since it did not appear to be in keeping with the general war effort. Assistants were governed by two awards, Mr Tennent added. One related to the Auckland district and the other to the rest of New Zealand. Ihe Auckland award would expire at the end of June and the award covering shop assistants in other parts of New Zealand would expire at the end of. September. The provisions of a new award would no doubt follow the lines adopted in Auckland. The decision in regard to the five-day week had been carried at a recent conference in Wellington of the Retailers' Federation on the vote of the Auckland Retailers' Association.
