Difficulty was experienced by employers through their employees undertaking work for private individuals, and in some cases other employers, after their day’s work was done, or on Saturdays, was mentioned in the annual report of the New Zealand Coach and Motor Body Builder’s Association considered at the association’s annual conference yesterday. “This abuse is, perhaps, partly due to the amended law which reduced the weekly hours of employment on the pretence that greater leisure time should be available to the workers,” stated the report.
siderable congestion at the New Zealand freezing works and loadings were being expedited as much as possible to relieve the freezing works, which would otherwise be obliged ot close down. The unprecedented spell of dry weather had resulted in a rush on the freezing works throughout the country. Ships were being diverted as much as 500 miles to hurry on the loading. The Doric Star was due to load 16,000 cases of apples at Port Chalmers on Monday. The storage space In that port was being heavily taxed at present. However, she would now be delayed at least three days.
