CLOTHING TRADE AWARDS.
COURT MAKES NO CHANGE. A MAJORITY DECISION. New awards affecting most classes of workers in the Auckland wholesale clothing trades were filed in the Arbitration Court yesterday. The clauses in dispute, relating chiefly to hours of work, wages and piecework, were settled on the lines of the expired awards. The decisions in each case were by a majority of the Court, Mr. A. L. Monteith, workers' assessor, being of the opinion that the rates of wages should have been increased, particularly in the case of male workers. The awards, which cover factory tailoresses, shirt, silk and white workers, dressmakers and milliners, and the mal6 workers in the trade, are to come into force on May 14 and continue in force until April 16, 1930. The workers had pressed for a general increase in and a week of 40 hours instead of 44 hours.
