RESTORATION OF WAGES
DIFFICULTIES OF “BLANKET"
CLAUSE.
(United Press Association.)
Wellington, September 21. An admission that he was aware of the difficulties in the application of the “blanket” clause of the Finance Act, providing for the restoration of wages to the 1931 level, whether workers are covered by awards or not, was made by the Minister of Labour (the Hon. H. T. ’Armstrong) to-day. “Where it can be applied it will be,” said the Minister. “We knew that the ‘blanket’ clause would be pretty difficult to apply.”
