WOMEN ON FARMS
FIXING RATE OF PAY WORK IN MILKING SHEDS [from oi;r own correspondent] HAMILTON, Tuesday An interpretation of the recent amending legislation as it affects farm workers, was given to-day by Air. H. E. Aloston, chief inspector of factories. Air. Aloston said the amendment to the Agricultural Workers Act made it possible for an inspector of factories to issue an under-rate workers' permit to the wife of a farm worker in cases where the wife was not doing the full duties of a milker. For instance, it the wife helped in the milking shed for four hours a day she could be paid a proportion of an agricultural worker's wages, plus board and lodging allowance. The rate of pay in such a case would be £1 6s a week.
