YOUTH EMPLOYMENT.
PROBLEM DISCUSSED,
POSITION OF APPRENTICES. CONFERENCE IN WELLINGTON. (By Telefrapb.— Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The acute problem of the employment of youths and young men was Uie subject of a joint conference yesterday between representatives of the New Zealand Manufacturers' Federation and the Federated Trades Councils. Resolutions were adopted welcoming the Labour Minister’s announcement that it was intended to exempt indentured apprentices from automatically corning under the provisions of the basic wage at 21 and recommending that the district registrars be instructed to call meetings of apprenticeship committees in the four centres in those industries where the committees are not at present functioning and that the legislation be amended to provide for one committee for each industry in each centre, instead of in each industrial district.
It was agreed to recommend manufacturers’ and workers’ organisations throughout the Dominion to bring before the apprenticeship committees the question of approving special contracts to allow the apprenticeship of youths starting between 18 and 23.
The above resolutions are all subject to the approval of the organisations represented at the conference.
