SHORT OF BRICKLAYERS.
SYDNEY EMBARRASSED. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received May 3, 10.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 3. The Master Builders’ Association has applied to the Board of Trade for a modification of the apprenticeship regulations governing bricklaying. It was pointed out that in some in stances only 25 per cent of the skilled labour required was obtainable, indirectly contributing to the shortage of housing. The supervisor ol : city railways gave evidence that the work of the railways was done in cement on account of the excessive demand for work which should be done in brick. The association suggested that the regulations should be amended so as to regard adults being apprenticed as slow workers. The chairman. Mr Beeby, adjourned the bearing till May 14. requesting representatives of the association and union to endeavour to propound a scheme in the meantime.
