SUBSIDY BUILDING SCHEME
RUMOURS AT CHRISTCHURCH. PROTEST AGAINST SHORTER WEEK. By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, May 27. The Unemployment Board is stated to be contemplating a new building subsidy scheme, with the special condition of a short hour week, probably 40, in order to spread the work. To this condition the building trade employers strongly object, and, it is stated, have informed the board so, believing that if a shorter week is recognised on subsidised jobs it will soon become standard in the trade, and the next thing will be a demand for a full week’s pay for shorter working hours.
