RATIONING OF WORK
THE N.S.W. CONTROVERSY ALTERNATIVE TO DISMISSALS (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received Dec. 31. noon.) SYDNEY, Dec. 31. Employers and industrial leaders declared that the abolition of rationing in private employ will not only operate disastrously against a large body of employees, but also have a bad effect upon industry itself. The employers are unanimous that the declaration of a 44-hours week will have a disastrous effect upon New South Wales.
.Mr, R. E. Marks, ex-president of the Chamber of Manufactures, said: “Poor old New South Wales is going to be pushed right into the background. Our manufacturers cannot possibly compete with those of other States working 48 hours,; neither can our business people.” Industrial leaders expressed the opinion that shop assistants, if given the opportunity, would decide in favor of rationing to avoid dismissals.
