FURTHER DEMANDS?
INCREASED WAGES.
A PREDICTION MADE
PROVINCIAL EMPLOYERS' ASSN
[By Telegraph.—Press Association] AUCKLAND, Aug. 3.
A prediction that further demands for wages increases to meet the rise in living costs are likely in the coming year, is contained in the annual report of the Auckland Provincial Employers' Association.
It is also stated that an attempt to bring all industry more or less under beaurocratic control is possible. "The past year has been an exceptionally harassing one through confusion arising from hasty industrial legislation in 1936," states the report. "Many employers have been faced with unexpected heavy payments for back wages, and there has been dissatisfaction among workers and strikes and unrest, for which the past year holds an unenviable record. This year employers are likely to be faced with exceptional difficulties. There arc many knotty industrial problems to be solved before the present tangle can be unravelled."
