BAD FOR BOYS
TOO MUCH MONEY. AUSTRALIAN JUDGE’S VIEWS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. MELBOURNE, March 20. Mir Justice Quick, in the Arbitration Court, when dealing with boys’ wages in the insurance staffs’ claims, endorsed the companies’ argument that it was not desirable that boys’ salar lee should be above their station in life and their requirements. He said that it tended to encourage inflated ideas of self-importance and extravagance. It was better that they wait till they were more mature.
He fixed the starting wage for the age of fifteen years at £SO per annum, with annual increases to £2OO at twenty-one.
