COPY.] CHIEF INSPECTOR OF FACTORIES' OFFICE, Melbourne, J 7th April, 1913. Sir, —With reference to your letter of this day's date, I have the honour to inform vou that the Saturday Half-Holiday has been in force in the Metropolitan District for three years, and it has given every satisfaction to both employers and employees. Wherever it has had a fair chance in the larger country centres it has also given satisfaction, and a proposal for a Saturday Half-Holiday for the whole State will probably be brought before Parliament in the coming session. I have, etc., (Signed) H. M. MURPHY, Chief Inspector of Factories. The Town Clerk, Town Hall, Melbourne. Brisbane. BRISBANE Cable, 18th April, 1913. " Employer and employee appreciate Saturday Half-Holiday ; been in operation three years." Letters since received, which can be viewed at the Secretarv's office, give ample proof that business is progressing well and the continuous week has come to stay. Therefore the Saturday Half-Holiday is no longer an experiment as some would suggest. Mere conjectures count for naught. VOTE FOB SATURDAY Thus PS" Authorised by Executive, O.
