SYSTEM OF SHORT TIME
RAILWAY SHED WORKERS ALTERNATIVE TO DISCHARGE. NOTICE TO PERMANENT- CASUALS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. All the casual hands, 73 in number, employed in the Auckland inward and outward railway goods sheds received notice to-day that they would no longer be treated as permanent casuals with a guarantee of 48 hours’ work a week, but would be placed on the list of emergency casuals and called upon when required. The men receive a wage of Is lOd an hour, and the guarantee has assured them a wage of £4 8e a week. The effect of' the notice will be to institute a system of short time, under which presumably all will be treated alike. The alternative would have been to discharge, say, 20 of the men.
