(Received May 3, 12.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, May 3. . The Master Builders' Association has applied to the Board of Trade for modification of the apprenticeship regulations governing bricklaying. They pointed out that in some instances only 25 per cent, of the skilled labor required was obtainable, indirectly contributing to the shortage of housing. The supervisor of the city railways gave evidence that work on the railways was done in cement on account of the excessive demand for work which should be done in brick. The association suggested that the regulations should be amended so as to regard adults being apprenticed as slow workers. The chairman, Mr. Beeby, adjourned the hearing till the 14th. Representatives of tho association and the union are to- endeavor to propound a scheme in the meantime.
