1904. NEW ZEALAND.
DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR (REPORT OF THE).
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.
The Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister of Labour. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 20th June, 1904. I have the honour to present herewith the thirteenth annual report of this Department. It covers the late financial year—viz., from the Ist April, 1903, to the 31st March, 1904. I have, &c, Edward Tregear, Secretary. The Rt. Hon. R. J. Seddon, Minister of Labour.
There is no diminution or retardation in the steadiness of New Zealand's economic advance. The year has been exceedingly prosperous for a very large majority of the workers. Municipal enterprises, such as electric tramways, &c, have absorbed surplus labour near cities, while in many of the country districts men have been hard to obtain. In spite of our reinforcements from Australia (18,188 arrivals over departures in two years), agricultural labourers were sometimes scarce at Is. an hour, and it has not been easy to get thoroughly reliable workmen to meet the calls for hands on railway-construction. The building trades have been very fully employed all over the colony, especially in the larger towns. Wellington alone has added to the value of inhabited property during the last five years to the extent of £1,513,722. The better class of carpenters were scarce even when lis. a day was offered ; masons and bricklayers received high wages, while the call for competent plasterers is still unsatisfied. In the iron trade a few were out of employment towards the end of last year, but all engineering-work is showing improvement, and is fast recovering from the dullness experienced after the temporary collapse of the over-inflated gold-dredging industry, which now rests on a more solid basis than on the excitement of the mining markets. The boot and shoe trade, which was somewhat depressed of late years, shows much more cheering symptoms in the past few months, and promises increase of output in a marked degree. The woollen-mills have steadily kept up their full employing-capacity, and the only drawback to their increased trade is the difficulty in getting sufficient labour, especially that of girls in the hosiery departments. Laundry-work almost doubled, and the demand for workers in this industry exceeds the supply. There was some falling-off in business among tanners and fellmongers, while the saddlery and harnessmaking trade was decidedly decadent. Tailoring, clothing (factory), and dressmaking were very buoyant and called for much overtime work. The full employment of skilled labour in towns has been equalled by that of agricultural and pastoral workers in country districts. That the increase in cultivation and breeding of stock has been of service to all classes is shown by the steadily growing value of the colony's exports, which has risen from £8,557,443 to £14,838,192 in the last ten years, a fact in which both farmer and runholder must rejoice; while the value of the savings-banks deposits (accumulated in small amounts) in increasing by £3,861,154 in the same ten years shows that the operative classes have not only prospered, but have husbanded much of the financial results of their labour. i—H. 11.

Attention is called to the diagram at the end of this report showing the increases of workers in the main industries of the colony during the last eight years. The co-operative works by which our railways and roads are constructed averaged some three thousand men in their operations. A larger majority of these were single men than was the case in former years, thus showing that heads of families were better provided for elsewhere than in the past, as married men have always received preference in obtaining situations through the Department of Labour. In Wellington 518 men were sent to private employment, and only 346 to Government works. The number forwarded by the Department throughout the colony was 2,860, being considerably fewer than that of last year. Of these, 777 were married and had 3,085 dependants. The total number of those assisted since 1891 (the year the Department commenced operations) is 35,242, having 73,855 dependants, amounting together to 109,097 persons to whom the Department has been of direct service: Many of the applicants only require instructions as to localities in which their abilities can best be utilised, they not being in need of transport or other assistance. Such applicants do not appear on the books of the Department nor in the enumeration of those forwarded to work.

The Factories Act. Throughout the whole colony the Act has worked well. There has been little friction, and the very large majority of employers do their best to keep within the provisions of the Act. Wherever new buildings are erected solicitude is shown to have the latest improvements and conveniences supplied. The machinery is better guarded, the ventilation and sanitation are more perfect, and more attention is given to the health and comfort of the employees than before the Act reached its present state of efficiency. It is generally the fact of new businesses occupying old buildings thoroughly unfitted for factory purposes, but built as offices, shops, or residences, which makes interference on the part of Inspectors necessary so far as the habitat of the industry is concerned. Heavy fines have been inflicted on some factory-owners for non-payment of wages, but these penalties have usually been decreed by the Court of Arbitration for breach of its award, not by a Magistrate for violation of the Factories Act. Details of such fines, tyc, will be found on another page of this report. The question of overtime and its limitation is still full of difficulties. The industrial unions of male workers are generally strong enough to see that their members are not tasked beyond their strength by protracted hours, but non-unionists (especially women) have to be very carefully watched over by the Department of Labour. The following short table shows the overtime worked last year (excluding that of men) in the four chief towns in the colony : — Auckland ... 1,466 women and young persons worked 45,751 hours' overtime.

This table gives an average of 30 hours' overtime for each person engaged. The section in the Factories Act which regulates the annually increasing wage for continued employment of persons under twenty-one years of age has greatly improved their condition. Factory Inspectors in the towns have large and steadily increasing districts to look after, and new duties are added with each year's legislation, that of Inspector of Awards bringing them especially new responsibilities, and needing time, patience, and firmness. Even in the country, where the duties are generally carried on by police officers as agents for this Department, there is much more work appertaining to the position than is popularly supposed. In one town where there are not many factories there are twelve sawmills scattered through the district, and these have to be visited in connection with the arbitration awards as well as the Factories Act. Another Inspector has forty shearing-sheds in his district, some away in the back country, and for the condition of these he is responsible. The amount received in factory fees for the year was £2,421, which goes a long way to balance the cost of inspection. The increase in factories and factory-hands is as follows : — Year. Factory-workers. Increase. 1895 ... ... ... ... ... ... 29,879 1896 ... ... ... ... ... ... 32,387 2,508 1897 ... ... ... ... ... ... 36,918 4,531 1898 ... ... ... .. ... ... 39,672 2,754 1899 ... ... ... ... ... ... 45,305 5,633 1900 ... ... ... ... ... ... 48,938 3,633 1901 ... ... ... ... ... ... 53,460 4,522 1902 ... ... ... ... ... ... 55,395 1,935 1903 ... ... ... ... ... ... 59,047 3,652 1904 ... ... ... ... .. ... 63,968 4,921 Total increase ... ... ... ... 34,089 Shops and Offices. The Act regulating shops and offices has been fairly well observed, but the principal Act is so clouded with amendments in later statutes that it is difficult to understand and is in much need of consolidation. There is need of legislation restricting the growing practice of sending shop-girls away for an interval during the day and then requiring them to work late in the evening, but not exceeding the total number of hours mentioned in the statute. It is scarcely necessary to state that such conduct is an evasion of the law and of the intention of its promoters. It should be provided against by a similar section to that in the Factories Act (section 19), naming the hours of the day within which women and young persons can be employed. Complaints are made of the scarcity of boy-labour for use in the occupation of messenger or errand-boy. This arises almost entirely from the prosperous condition of the colony, which not only allows parents to keep their children longer at school, but relieves them from the pecuniary pressure which formerly induced others to let their sons earn money as errandbovs. Of course, where there is likelihood of a messenger or errand-boy being promoted to be a clerk or shopman such employment may be desirable, but if this is not the case it is well that boys should not commence work at a business which will leave them in manhood without any trade or educated skill as a preparation for the struggle of life. There has been very great interest taken during the past year in the subject of the Saturday half-holiday in shops, and it has become a " burning question " in more than one locality. In Wellington many of the leading shopkeepers have closed their establishments voluntarily on Saturday afternoon instead of on Wednesday, the day generally observed in the city. It presses not only as a hardship, but as a grave injustice, that certain shops should be compulsorily closed by the present Act on a half-holiday, while others, selling the same goods, remain open. I may instance the closing of shops selling photographic materials or fancy goods, while chemists are allowed to remain open and sell such materials. Florists' shops are shut, while fruiterers are allowed to sell cut flowers ; tobacconists' shops are closed, while publicans sell cigars and cigarettes. " Custom of the trade" is pleaded in Court, and has - been allowed by Magistrates as the rule of such sales in the absence of legislative direction, but there needs some stricter line of definition. lam of opinion that there should be no exemption for any shop except those of chemists, and those only in regard to the sale of
iii
h.—ii
medicines necessary for the preservation of health. There should be no exemption which permits the sale of an article in a shop privileged to be open, while the law insists on the closing of a shop the business of which depends on the regular sale of such article. The position is unfair. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration. The session of Parliament, 1903, produced three small Acts affecting the provisions of the Act. Two of these were for machinery purposes only—viz., the Arbitration Court Emergency Acts, Nos. 1 and 2. They mainly legalised the appointment of deputies to fill the places of members of the Court (other than the President) in case of illness, &c. The third Act—viz., " The Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1903 "■—contained more important matter. Section 4 provides that the Court may extend an award beyond an industrial district. The original Act confined the operation of an award generally to the industrial district of origin mainly because it was considered that the circumstances controlling industry in one part of the country differed from those in others, and that no common standard of wage or earnings could be fairly applied to all districts alike. It was found afterwards by experience that cases could arise in which injustice would be wrought if an award was confined to a single district. An example may be quoted of an industry brought under an award by which high wages were compelled to be paid for certain classes of work. In the adjoining industrial district no award had been applied for in that particular trade, so poor wages were the rule, and work was executed at exceedingly low rates, with the result that the district under the award was swamped with a commodity manufactured by " cheap labour," and the business of those working under the award was crippled almost to extinction. Now, therefore, it is left to the discretion of the Court to extend the territorial limits of an award if there is reason to suppose that injustice will be committed by its being restricted within the original district's boundaries. Other important sections deal with combinations of either workers or employers if they take proceedings with the intention to defeat an award. Employers are perfectly free to discharge their workmen if they wish to do so, or workers to leave off their labours; but it must be individual, not collective action, and any conspiracy or combination to defeat the provisions of an award is considered as a breach of the award. Nor may an employer, even as an individual, discharge a man or woman because such person belongs to an industrial union or is entitled to the benefit of an award. He may discharge them for laziness, incompetence, drunkenness, &c, or even without reason given, but not for unionism or to defeat the law. Inspectors of Awards are provided for by the Act appointing Inspectors of Factories and Inspectors of Mines to that duty. It was a much-needed amendment, as there was often on the part of a unionist official a dislike to litigate against employers lest the names of marked men should be "black-listed." It is the proper duty of a Government official (who is theoretically above fear or favour) to carry out the awards of the Court and institute proceedings against defaulters. So far is this the case that it is advisable to prevent unions or private individuals taking (as at present) proceedings in any such matters; there should be no possible profit to be obtained or loss encountered by private individuals through breaches of the law being committed by others. There may be, however, reasons for prosecuting an inquiry known to the union but not known to the Department of Labour. I therefore recommend that the union shall be competent to lay an information and conduct a case before the Arbitration Court only when the Inspector of Awards has declined to do so. Many resolutions passed by societies and suggestions of private individuals have been sent to the Department of Labour in the direction of easing the work of the Arbitration Court by allowing Stipendiary Magistrates to adjudicate in minor cases of breach of award. There are continual complaints made as to the delays in hearing cases caused by the accumulation of work in the Arbitration Court. Not only does such delay allow the continuance of matters regarded as evils, but it seriously prejudices the position of the parties laying informations, as important witnesses leave their work and the district before the case is called on. If the jurisdiction of the Magistrate was limited to breaches not involving more than £50 of claim, this would probably greatly ease the work of the higher Court. The Arbitration Court could take all cases dealing with higher amounts than £50, and also settle appeals from the lower Court, but such appeals should be allowed by the Magistrate only on points of law, not of fact. Otherwise the business, by constant appeals, would be more prolonged even than at present, since the two Courts instead of one would be invoked, and the delay in the latter of these is the cause of such amendment being proposed. The appointment of another Judge of the Supreme Court would, by easing off the work of the Court of Appeal, sensibly assist the Arbitration Court.

Should an amending Bill be introduced it would be highly desirable for a clause to be inserted therein making plain the intention of Parliament concerning section 87, subsection (3), of the Act of 1900. This subsection states that "The award, by force of this Act, shall also extend to and bind every worker who, not being a member of any individual union on which the award is binding, is at any time whilst it is in force employed by any employer on whom the award is binding; and if any such worker commits any breach of the award he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds, to be recovered in like manner as if he were a party to the award." Legal opinions differ as to the meaning of the above section, but at present there is good reason to consider that by its terms non-unionists are brought under the award, but individual unionists are not. The union is regarded as under the award, and is presumably able to control its members, but the supposition entails hardship. All men in a union are not its whole-hearted supporters, and some of them either wilfully or inadvertently accept wages or earnings not permitted by the award. If there is a case proven against an employer who breaks an award by paying less than specified wages, the recipient of such wages is also a defaulter and should be prosecuted. Although in a few cases this has been done in order to make an example, still in the large majority of cases the employer alone is prosecuted, as it is considered that there is probably pressure from several directions before a man will accept less for his work than that to which he is properly entitled. But it is asserted that if unionists accept such wrong wages or rates the union is at present liable for its members breaking the award, and it is hard for a union that has had the trouble and expense of bringing a justifiable action to find itself also in the position of a delinquent. Either industrial unions should be directed to pass rules giving them power to control their members financially so far as to recover fines from them, if through their fault the union is mulcted in penalties, &c, or Parliament could, by putting the individual unionist on the same footing as the individual non-unionist, make the worker personally liable for his own breach of the law. It is worthy of consideration whether there should not be a limit to the time for which back wages should be paid in a breach of award. That a very large sum (in one case £73, in another £88) should be paid as back wages to a worker who has broken the award by receiving illegal remuneration appears hardly defensible in a general way, however justifiable in a particular case. If prosecuted such worker would be fined instead of rewarded, and although, as stated above, the case of employer and employee are not exactly on the same footing as to indirect compulsion, there is reason to fear that, unless there has been proof of continued remonstrance as to wages, a policy more characterized by cunning than honesty may dictate silent acceptance of less pay than the award prescribed, while there is concealed the purpose of claiming the difference as a lump sum in the Arbitration Court. Ido not infer or suggest that such has hitherto been the case in any action for breach of award, but the weak place is there, and should be exposed. At meetings of Trades and Labour Councils and by delegates at the Labour Conference there has been expressed an intention to work towards making " preference for unionists " compulsory. A motion to that effect was negatived in the House of Representatives last session. Several members of Parliament who are friendly to trade-unions voted against the motion, on the expressed ground that the unions would be stronger composed of volunteers united in one cause, as at present, than if composed of conscripts forced to join the union by legal process. They considered leaving " preference" for the decision of the Court in each case as preferable. As a general rule, the Court of Arbitration only gives " preference " when coupled with conditions, but in one case, extending over an entire trade and over the whole colony (the New Zealand Federated Boot Trade; 24th September, 1903), the union can demand and obtain the dismissal of any non-unionist if his place can be adequately filled by a unionist. However, as practically the whole of the members of the trade are unionists, there is no hardship, and the award ratified the terms of an agreement already settled between employers and employed. On one very important point in regard to the Act opinions, even legal opinions, are decidedly at variance. We have even had cross-rulings in the Arbitration Court on the subject. It is as to the interpretation of section 86, subsection (3), of the Act of 1900. Some read this section as implying that only those employers cited in the award are under its provisions, holding that it is unfair to bind a person who has not received notice that he was pecuniarily interested in the case. Others hold that the section binds all employers in the district whether cited or not, whether original parties or not, and that the unfairness
H.—ll
lies on those who would bind certain employers and leave others free to pay what wages, &c, they choose. Certainly under the latter reading some startling abuses are occurring. In a North Island industrial district, while every little carpenter's shop in one town is under the award, two large timber-woiking establishments in another town are "freelances," thus making most invidious commercial distinctions and promoting unfair competition. The evil may arise through shortness of time or funds preventing a union's secretary ascertaining all the industrial establishments in his trade in a district. This is the probable cause, but there is room in the future for corruption by the omission of certain names from citation. It would be unwise to leave the interpretation in its present state, and it needs legislative pronouncement. If some more extensive advertisement should be made by direction of Parliament as to the lists of cases to be heard by the Court, there could be no reason for citing every person, as in the case of an industrial agreement. It is the business of an employer to acquaint himself with matters relating to his trade, the wages awarded, &c, and ignorance should be no defence any more than in regard to Factory Acts or common law. This matter of wider advertisement applies to both sides equally. At present a union of seven workers can bring forward a case before the Court, and have conditions fixed without the knowledge of hundreds of men of the same business working at a distance from towns, and these latter might (like their employers) have something to say on the subject. No better illustration of the value of legislation compulsorily regulating industry could be brought forward than that of the Outtrim (Victoria) strike, which has just been declared " off." For sixteen months the coal-miners at Outtrim (who had asked for an increase of pay) have had to endure the privations, the irritation, and ruin of a lost living. Their places have been filled by others, and the miners have had to wander away to other places in search of employment. They have lost £176,000 in wages; they have spent £100,000 subscribed by friendly unionists from their own hard earnings; and the owners have lost fully £200,000 in profits. So that in this one instance alone the Colony of Victoria has thrown away at least half a million of money, which would have been saved by an Industrial Arbitration Act. The Inspectors of Awards have had their hands full in some districts. One Inspector recovered over £300 of back wages for workers, in addition to fines and costs of witnesses. The result of appointing Inspectors fully justifies such appointment, as the operatives have been greatly benefited and protected, not only by the cases actually taken to the Court, but by the existence of officers whose duty is to see that the law is not evaded or abrogated. The amending Act of last year has been of great service in allowing the examination of the wages-books, &c, as, formerly, even when it was known by documentary evidence to an Inspector of Factories that the awarded wages were not being paid, he was powerless to use that knowledge for the purpose of the Arbitration Act, while now as an Inspector of Awards he can do so. New Zealand received an official visitor from the United States Department of Labour in the person of Mr. Victor S. Clark, Ph.D. A very exhaustive and able report on our Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act was presented by Dr. Clark as the result of his inquiries here, and was printed at full length in the Bulletin of the United States Bureau of Labour, November, 1903. He speaks in complimentary terms of the working of the Act in this colony, but considers that the people of the United States are under such different economic and social conditions that " compulsory arbitration " would be unfitted for adoption there at present. The expenses incurred under the Act are as follows :* 1901—2—Conciliation Boards £2,611, Arbitration Court £2,034 ; 1902-3 —Conciliation Boards £404, Arbitration Court £2,289 ; 1903-4 —Conciliation Boards £461, Arbitration Court £2,428.

There has been very little work done by the Conciliation Boards this last year. The result of the statutory amendment made in 1901 to the effect that an industrial dispute could be sent straight to the Arbitration Court (passing by the Conciliation Board) on the application of either of the parties concerned has been to practically suspend the operations of the Boards. General. As a rule, there has been good work performed by the Servants' Registry Offices Act. It has helped to protect a class of persons which at the time of the passing of the Act badly needed protection. The position of female domestic servants has altered of late years, and they have now more certainty of good treatment than formerly, but there is still considerable necessity for supervision in order to keep the respectability of registry offices up to the present standard. It would be of great advantage if an amending section could be introduced into the Act to the effect that a receipt should be given with a duplicate on the block of the receipt-book for every fee or other money received by a registry-office keeper from a client. There are complaints that more money passes than is accounted for as fees. It is doubtful whether the private-registry-office system is not altogether a mistake. There are constant reports from clients (especially from men clients) of such offices in regard to fees paid with almost their last pence, only to find that to keep the situations arranged for is an impossibility, and that the conditions have been thoroughly misrepresented. Unfortunately, the victims are seldom in a position, either pecuniarily or socially, to institute costly legal proceedings. "To bring the work and the worker together" in the most efficient way can hardly be done impartially by any one but a State officer, who has no temptation to make profit out of his client or desire for him " to come early and often." The duty of inspecting shearers' accommodation is no light one, but the improvement effected by the Inspectors is very marked. The Journal of the Department of Labour has been issued as usual, and is widely sought for, mainly because it contains reports of the latest cases under the Arbitration Act. It finds, however, many readers outside the colony, especially in Australia and the United States, where the details of New Zealand's " progressive legislation" are watched with interest. The fourth volume of the " Awards of the Arbitration Court" has been issued by the Department of Labour. It covers the year 1903, and includes industrial agreements, rulings, interpretation of awards, &c. The cases heard before the Arbitration Court under the Workmen's Compensation for Accidents Act are also issued in a separate publication. I have to acknowledge the very capable and willing manner in which the members of the official staff as well as the Inspectors of Factories have performed their duties. We have received very efficient aid from officers of the Police and Public Health Departments. The manner in which the Labour Department has been treated by employers and workers leaves nothing to be desired on the grounds of courtesy and good feeling.
Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 31st March, 1904. I have again to report a large increase in office and other work connected with the Department, notably in the administration of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Factories have also increased in numbers, and consequently the number of employees has increased in proportion. The following is a summary of the work performed by the Department during the year: There were 5,014 letters sent out, and 1,115 telegrams; whilst 45 circulars, totalling 4,300 copies, were sent to our agents, Inspectors, and others. The number of letters received was 5,800; telegrams, 980. Correspondence was received from all over the world asking for information re land laws, rates of wages, style and cost of living, and many other subjects too numerous to state here. These are answered to the best of our ability, and literature is also sent to inquirers. These replies have been the means in many cases of bringing to the colony a good class of people. Be unemployed : In Wellington 193 married men and 671 single men were assisted to employment. The Women's Branch found work for 386 domestic servants. For the whole of the colony 777 married and 2,083 single men were assisted, having dependent on them 3,085 persons In connection with this branch of the Department 124 letters were received from persons coming from England, and who sent references, &c, previous to their arriving in the colony. In many cases situations were procured for them before landing, the balance being provided for on or soon after arrival. It would be wise if artisans and farm and other labourers were advised to reach New Zealand, if possible, during the period of the year extending from September to the end of March, that being the busiest part of the year, when no difficulty is experienced by good men in procuring
vii
F.—ll
employment; while during the slack season, extending from May until September, some difficulty may be experienced in getting into immediate work. Tradesmen and farm and general labourers are the class of men that are in most demand, whilst clerks and men fitted only for light employment are at a discount, and should not come here unless prepared to stand the risk of being out of employment for a time, or of being forced (as in the case of clerks) to tackle hard manual labour. Be the Factories and Shops Acts : In Wellington there were only 4 cases under the Factories Act brought before the Court, and 2 under the Shops and Shop-assistants Act. For the colony there were 59 cases under the Factories Act, 38 under the Shops and Shop-assistants Act, and 5 under the Servants' Registry Offices Act. Labour Journal: This publication has, as usual, been compiled and issued monthly to twelve hundred persons in all parts of the world, and has elicited great praise from its subscribers. Books of Awards, &o. : Vol, iv. of this publication was also issued. It has been inquired for and sent to the principal European countries, the United States of America, and Japan, while in the Commonwealth it is in great demand. By far the largest sales are made to secretaries of industrial unions in the colony, who find the book invaluable for reference. Vol. ii. of " Cases under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act" was also compiled and published. Annual Report: The compilation of this, from the great mass of figures which has to be dealt with, occupies a great deal of time. It deals with the following subjects : — (a.) Reports from local Inspectors. (b.) Returns of cases dealt with by the Arbitration Court and Conciliation Boards. (c.) Statistics relating to unemployed assisted. (d.) Returns of accidents in factories and report on same. (c.) Legal decisions under the various Acts administered by the Department. (/.) Returns of permits to young persons, and of overtime worked. (g.) Reports on accommodation required for shearers. (h.) Statistics relating to factories. Schedules have been collected from every factory in the colony showing the number of hands employed, ages, rates of wages paid, description of buildings, and accommodation provided for employees. And here let me say that the accommodation and sanitary conveniences provided are on the whole first class, and leave nothing to be desired—a great advance on the condition of affairs existing ten years ago. Shearers' Accommodation Act: Strict inspection has been made of the accommodation provided for shearers, and great improvements have been effected. The accommodation provided for general farm-labourers has also been greatly improved. Breaches of awards : Since the passing of the Amendment Act of 1903 a great deal of extra work has been thrown on Inspectors of Factories in detecting and investigating breaches of the various awards of the Arbitration Court. Not the least important part of the work in connection with this Act is the number of personal interviews between the Inspectors, employers, secretaries and members of unions, and these interviews in many cases save endless trouble and annoyance owing to the advice and assistance given in settling minor disputes, and giving clear interpretations on points in question. The investigation of breaches of awards is often intricate and laborious, and Inspectors are to be congratulated on the able and impartial manner in which they have performed these duties. Under the Amendment Act of 1903 power was also given for Inspectors of Mines to act as Inspectors of Awards. These gentlemen are now acting in the latter capacity, and are doing good work. Their duties exclusively relate to the awards affecting mining, and their practical knowledge of the industry has been of great service to the Department. The following is a summary of cases brought before the Court by Inspectors: Auckland, 2; Wellington, 59; Christchurch, 21; Dunedin, 17 ; Nelson, 5; Reefton, 6. Registration of unions : Under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act 72 unions have been registered during the year, showing a total of 3,558 members—viz., 43 unions of workers, with 2,822 members, and 29 unions of employers, with 736 members. The total number of unions on the register is now 372, totalling 30,720 members, divided as follows : Workers, 266, with 27,640 members; employers, 106, with 3,080 members. During the year 29 partial and 21 complete amendments to rules have been revised and registered. Generally speaking, the year just gone has been a good one from an industrial point of view. The cry of the unemployed has not been heard, and, judging from appearances, will not be whilst the present prosperity continues. Owing to the large increase of office-work I have not been able to visit our Inspectors and agents as much as I should have liked, but with a slight rearrangement of the work I hope to be able to do a little more visiting this coming year. I have to thank the Head Office staff for the very cheerful way in which every call has been answered, and for the general all-round excellence of the clerical work. The Inspectors in the various cities and towns of the colony deserve a meed of praise; their work has been performed in an excellent manner, and it is largely due to their tact and discretion that so little friction exists between the Department and the representatives of the many conflicting interests we have to deal with. I have, &c, J. Mackay, Chief Clerk and Deputy Chief Inspector. Edward Tregear, Esq., Secretary for Labour.

EEPOETS OF LOCAL INSPECTORS OF FACTORIES AND AGENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR.
AUCKLAND. Sir, — Department of Labour, Auckland, 27th April, 1904. I have the honour to forward for your information my annual report on the working of the various branches of this Department for the year ending the 31st March last. Labour. During the year, 829 men have been assisted to work, of whom 216 were married, with 839 dependent upon them, and 613 were single; 469 were sent to Government works and 360 to private employment. In addition, twenty-one wives (with thirty-six children) were also assisted to join their husbands where working. The number of those sent to private employment being 272 in excess of the number sent last year is an indication that private employers are becoming more conversant with the advantages of applying to this Department for workers. As in preceding years, applications for work from skilled workers were, as a rule, limited to new arrivals—local competent workmen being generally well employed. During the year a fair supply of labour has been open, so that suitable workmen were in good demand. There has been an influx of workers from the Australian Colonies, America, and Europe. Robust men used to country-work were soon employed. There were, however, a good number seeking town and light work ; in many instances with little or no experience, and physically incapable of hard manual labour. Such men find it difficult to get a start. I think it is a mistake for this class (who probably give up work at which they make a livelihood, and leave the place where they have friends to assist them) to come to a place where their sphere is naturally very limited. Factoeies. Since its inception the Factories Act has been in general favour, and is now considered a great success. The cordiality with which it is supported by employers renders the work of a Factory Inspector pleasant and easy. With, I think, a corresponding benefit to all concerned, there has been a complete revolution of hitherto existing conditions under which workers laboured. There were 1,167 factories registered for the year, employing 10,384 hands—viz., 7,458 males and 2,926 females—an increase on the previous year of 124 factories and 1,017 employees (904 males and 113 females). This return does not include the railway workshops, where a large number of workers is employed. Five hundred and ninety permits to work in factories were issued to young persons under sixteen years of age—boys, 282; girls, 308. Of the boys, 107 had passed Standard IV., 82 Standard V., and 93 Standard VI. ; and of the girls, 131 had passed Standard IV., 102 Standard V., and 75 Standard VI. Although overtime has not been on the increase, being somewhat less than for last year, still it is carried on to a considerable extent. As I reported on former occasions, I think it would entail hardship on employers if this class of work were altogether prohibited, as there are seasons and times when it is almost an impossibility for manufacturers to meet demands within the ordinary working-time, and extra workers are not available. The check is to keep the remuneration for"such work up to a scale which will tend to prohibit overtime being asked for except in the most urgent cases. Warrants were issued to 1,417 females and forty-nine boys, who worked 45,751 hours. This is an increase in the number of hours worked and by less hands, which is attributable to the summer setting in so late. [For return of overtime see page 16.] One hundred and forty-four accidents were reported and inquired into. A youth was killed by a falling block, one man was struck in the abdomen whilst putting a belt on to a driving-wheel with a stick, one man fell from a fire-escape outside a factory, and a youth was killed by a descending lift in a warehouse. One accident (by the fall of stacks of raw sugar) injured ten men, four of them seriously, one having his spine injured, one his shoulder-blade fractured, and two each a leg broken. Of the other accidents, in two cases it was necessary to amputate a thumb, and in five cases either one or two fingers. None of the remainder were of a serious nature, being mostly slight cuts and bruises. With the exception of the man who was killed when shifting a belt (which was'attributable to faulty machinery, the mechanical belt - shifter having been removed for repairs), none of these accidents could properly be deemed working-accidents, as the boy who was killed by a falling block was at the time at play swinging on the tackle which let down the block; the man who fell from the fireescape chose that way to get into the workroom instead of the ordinary doorway; and the youth killed by the lift was at a warehouse, where he was looking over the protecting-bar for some reason not explained and his head was caught, and upon being extricated his reliever unfortunately lost hold of him, and the victim was precipitated to the bottom of the lift-well (a considerable distance), which caused his death. In all the minor cases the occurrences were purely accidental, and might possibly have been avoided by more care from the workers. Seven charges for breaches of the Factories Act were preferred against five employers. Convictions were obtained in six cases, and in the other case judgment was confessed, and the matter settled by the employer refunding the moneys in question. ii—H. 11.

Shops and Shop-assistants Act. I am sorry to again have to report that I do not consider that the provisions of this Act are satisfactory, especially those for the closing of shops—the half-holiday closing extending over the whole week, and other times of closing varying to almost any hour. Again, the Act in itself has been amended so many times that it has to an ordinary inquirer become bewildering; so that I consider that a consolidated Act, fixing a daily hour for closing all shops, and prescribing definite provisions for such closing, would be highly desirable for employers, employees, and the general public. Warrants to work overtime for stock-taking purposes were issued to 121 persons, who worked 1,114 hours, during the year. Eight charges were brought against five shopkeepers; four convictions were recorded, and the other cases were dismissed. Seevants' Registby Offices Act. There are twenty-four licensed registry offices in this district—an increase of three on last year. I have been called upon to regulate matters with respect to certain complaints, which I was enabled to do without resorting to prosecution. It is a question which I think requires serious consideration, whether a legalised system of charging fees to persons seeking employment for obtaining work is a right system. It probably often occurs that the work so provided is barely worth the fees paid, and the expense of arriving at and returning from the scene of work. Industeiad Conciliation and Aebiteation Act. The working of this Act by an Inspector of Factories as an Inspector of Awards entails a material additional responsibility, and a large amount of extra work. At the present time I have cited before the Court of Arbitration twenty employers, charged with forty breaches of award. I trust this will have the desired effect of acting as a deterrent, and I am sanguine that, now that employers are aware that responsible officers, with power to acquire information, are enforcing conformity to awards, breaches in future will be greatly lessened, and the provisions of this Act will be adhered to, with as small a degree of friction as in the case of other Acts controlled by this Department. I have, &c, H. Fbeguson, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories. Inspector of Factories.
WELLINGTON. g IB Department of Labour, Wellington, 7th May, 1904. I beg to submit for your consideration my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904, and am "pleased to be able to state with confidence that the work of the various branches of the labour laws under my control is progressing steadily and satisfactorily. Trade in all branches has been very good during the year. Factories have been kept busy, and few complaints have been heard. The iron trade has not been brisk during the year, and there have been many fitters out of work. This state of things has been brought about chiefly through the falling-off in the demand for dredging machinery, which three years ago caused such an abnormal increase in the number of men in the iron trade. The building trade has been very brisk during the year, and there are still several large buildings in course of erection, so that there is every prospect of the trade being kept busy for some time to come. The old wooden buildings are disappearing, and brick ones are steadily growing in their places in all parts of the city. The city tram-construction works, street-formation, and paving have given employment to a large number of men, and have added largely to the general prosperity of trade in the city ; though it is to be regretted that so much of the rolling-stock should be imported ready-made. There are 750 factories registered in the Wellington District this year —an increase of 57 over last year. There are 7,278 persons employed—viz., 4,540 men, 485 boys under sixteen years of age, 1,831 women, and 422 girls —an increase of 691 males and 130 females over last year's return. The overtime difficulty is with us still, and I am inclined to think it will remain in spite of restrictions. There are trade seasons when it appears that a large amount of work must be done by overtime, because the persons employed in the factories cannot cope with it during ordinary working-hours, and employers say they cannot get extra hands to meet the extraordinary demands during those busy seasons. This is very noticeable in the tailoring trade. [For table of overtime worked during the year see page .] Permits have been issued to 381 young persons to work in factories—viz., 186 boys and 195 girls. They passed standards as follows : Boys—63 Standard IV., 54 Standard V., 49 Standard VI., 20 Standard VII.; girls—s3 Standard IV., 57 Standard V., 47 Standard VI., 38 Standard VII. Care ii taken to obtain correct particulars of age and the production of school certificates before permits are issued. There were 137 accidents reported during the year —two fatal, eleven of a serious nature, and 124 of a slight nature, incidental to factory-work where machinery is employed, and necessitating absence from work for a few days. The fatal accidents were thoroughly inquired into, and in each case a verdict of " Accidental death " was returned. The other cases were inquired into, and in every case where it was possible to guard a machine so as to minimise the risk to the worker the employer was called on to so guard his machinery at once. There were four prosecutions during the year, and convictions and penalties were secured in each case.
H—ll
Shops and Shop-assistants Act. I regret to report that the system of broken time has been introduced into the district during the year. By " broken time " I mean that by assistants (junior or female) coming to work late in the morning, or by losing time during the day, they can be brought back or kept back to work at night to complete their full time ; thus the shops in Newtown are kept open every night except the half-holiday night, and the assistants are in attendance till 9 o'clock. 1 have frequently questioned them as to the time of starting, and their answers are to the effect that they are working within their legal hours. Nevertheless it is to be regretted that the practice has come into vogue, and there is no power in the existing Act to cope with it. Overtime has increased this year in spite of my efforts to keep it down ; 305 persons (women and juniors) have worked 4,882 hours, as against 247 persons working 3,010 hours last year. Section 12 of the Act is exceedingly unsatisfactory. The question of which is the best day for the weekly half-holiday has been agitating the minds of a large number of business-people lately, and quite a number of business establishments have taken the matter up in earnest and have agreed to close their premises on Saturday from 1 o'clock. I hope they will be rewarded for their courage by the Legislature coming to their assistance and making Saturday a colonial half-holiday, with no late night: that late night is a barbarous institution—each hour that an assistant works at night is worse on her than three in the daytime. If the shops were obliged to close every evening at 6 o'clock, not one in a thousand would suffer any inconvenience after the first month. There were two prosecutions during the year. Convictions and penalties were obtained in each case. Servants' Registey Offices Act. This Act is working very satisfactorily. There is little trouble with it, and the only complaints I hear are from the licensees, who complain of the difficulty they have in getting servants to fill their engagements. There are thirteen offices registered in the district. Industeial Conciliation and Aebiteation Act. The enforcement of awards under this Act has given an enormous amount of additional work, and will take up a great deal of time. To date I have filed sixteen applications for enforcement of awards, which have been successfully adjudicated upon, and penalties and costs secured in each case, and in nine cases substantial amounts in back pay were ordered to be paid to the persons who had been short-paid. In conclusion, I have to thank all with whom my duties have brought me into contact for their courtesy and readiness to conform to my requirements. I have, &c, James Shanaghan, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
Sic, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 10th May, 1904. I have the honour to report on the carrying-out of the various awards under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act for the Wellington District during the past year. Fifty-four alleged breaches have been filed by me for hearing by the Court; twenty-six of these have already been adjudicated upon, twenty-three being proved. The Court awarded substantial penalties in each case, besides witnesses' and other expenses; also back wages to a considerable amount. These cases covered nearly the whole of the Wellington Industrial District, and included Wellington, Masterton, Woodville, Hastings, Napier, Palmerston North, and Foxton. The employers in most cases appear anxious to observe the law, and, indeed, they frequently report cases of other employers underpaying their workers and unfairly competing with their particular trade. There are many employers, however, in isolated districts and in small towns who have been under the impression that because they were not in business at the time the dispute was before the Court the award in their trade does not apply to them. I have explained the provisions of the Act in this respect—that an award is binding on all employers commencing business after the award is made. The greatest difficulty I have found is in obtaining information from the workers, especially in towns where there is no branch of a union. The amended Act of 1903 giving Inspectors power to make examinations of books, &c, has greatly simplified matters, and has been the means of bringing to light numerous breaches that would probably never have been detected in any other way. The cases taken before the Court in the various towns have had a very salutary effect, and many inquiries are made by employers as to whether they are abiding by their award. I have always given any information asked for, and I also find that the Labour Journal containing the various awards and decisions of the Court of Arbitration is proving very useful and is much appreciated. In the sawmilling trade some little difficulty has been experienced by employers in paying for broken time, as the award provides for a forty-six-hour week at a daily rate of pay. This does not give six days of equal length, as many mills usually work five days of eight hours and six hours on the Saturday. Employers have endeavoured to pay their men at a daily rate, and broken time then varies according to the length of the day. I have explained that in such cases wages should be computed at per hour, dividing the weekly pay by 46. Some employers have got over the difficulty by paying for the broken time at the rate of Is. or 2s. a day more than the minimum wage This shows a desire on the part of the employers to keep within the award.

In tradesln which™the awards have provided for apprentices to be indentured some difficulty has been experienced in country districts through many employers failing to indenture their youths, who, after serving twelve months or more at the trade, have been discharged or have left of their own accord. This is greatly to be regretted, as the result has been to swell the number of incompetents; but I believe this will be rectified within a short time, as nearly all awards made by the Court provide for indenturing all apprentices. Complaints are freely made that the great delay in obtaining the decisions of the Court causes much annoyance, as not only are workers and employers left many months before their cases are settled, but there is frequently great difficulty in obtaining witnesses, as men frequently leave for other parts of the colony. No doubt this state of affairs will be soon remedied by some other method being adopted of hearing simple breaches. I have, &c, W. H. Haggee, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
Sic, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 10th April, 1904. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1903. During that period I visited factories and workrooms throughout the colony where women and girls are employed, and have found them, with few exceptions, in a very satisfactory state. Strict attention has been paid to the sanitary condition of these places, and employers show every willingness to comply with any suggestion made by Inspectors when it has been found necessary to have alterations or improvements effected. Notwithstanding the additional restriction placed on overtime work, still the full extent allowed by the law seems to be worked. Strict attention has been given to the regular and proper payment for such overtime, and due notice given to employees previous to working such overtime. Be section 31, compelling an annual increase of 3s. per week to persons under twenty years of age : When this section of the Act was first introduced the argument was used that it would work out to the detriment of these young workers. Still it has now been in force three years, and no radical change has taken place. These young people have gone on just as before, but are enjoying the privileges of better wages, and in very many trades many more of these young persons could be employed if they could be got. The very greatest attention has been paid to the regular payment of these increases, and, as a general rule, very few attempts to evade it have been discovered. Some difficulty is experienced in this matter in instances where workers change their place of employment. This is especially marked in the dressmaking trade. Frequently girls have been with as many as two or three different employers in a very short space of time. To meet this difficulty I would suggest that a provision be introduced compelling these young persons to procure a certificate showing length of time at any particular trade, such certificate to be signed by their previous employer. This would not only facilitate the work of an Inspector, but would also be a great advantage to employers. Section 17 of the Factories Act, which compels the keeping of a correct record of all wages paid, is now found to be an important section, and especially so since the introduction of section 31, providing for regular increases of wages. Great difficulty is experienced in getting employers to keep this record, more especially with small employers, who may employ only a few young girls. It takes them a long time to realise that the interests of these few girls in a small factory are just as important as the interests of those employed in larger establishments. The buildings where the larger industries of the colony are carried on, such as woollen-mills and clothing and boot factories, are a credit to the country. The laundries of the colony have also improved very much. They are mostly large new buildings, with all the latest improvements in the way of ventilation, sanitary arrangements, &c, for the comfort and convenience of workers. The improved machinery which has been introduced into this line of business has proved of great advantage to the employees. I may add that the introduction of improved machinery into this industry does not mean a reduction in the number of persons employed. On the contrary, more workers could be employed if they could be got. Shops and Shop-assistants Act and its Amendments. There is little or nothing fresh to report with regard to these Acts. They seem to be working smoothly, and most shopkeepers appear to be thoroughly acquainted with their provisions. There is, of course, still the necessity for a colonial closing-day. I should very much like to see waitresses in refreshment-rooms and hotels brought under the provisions of the Acts, just as the ordinary shop-assistant is. These girls have to work long hours, and have no Act to protect them. I have come across many instances where these girls have to keep on duty from twelve to sixteen hours, and if they are not satisfied with this their only remedy is to go to another employer, who will treat them very little better. Also the sleeping-accommodation which is provided for these workers is a matter which should receive careful consideration. Seevants' Registey Offices Act. This Act has worked smoothly during the year, there being but few complaints made against office-keepers, and even these were of a trivial nature. I have, &c, M. Scott Hawthoene, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

Sic, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 9th May, 1904. I have the honour to report to you that the branch of the Department under my charge has found work for 386 women and girls during the year ended the 31st March, 1904 ; in thirty cases work was found on several occasions during the year. As few Wellington girls go to service, nearly all those assisted have come from other parts of New Zealand, England, and Australia, a most welcome addition to the ranks of domestic workers, who are few in proportion to the number of employers wanting help in their homes. The country employer finds it hard to get help of any kind. So anxious are some of them to get a servant that elderly women and women with a child to support, or even two children, are willingly taken into employers' homes, and get a fair wage as well. Hotels, as usual, get the pick of domestic workers. The wages given are high, and the privileges many. Waiting in tea-rooms is also an occupation much favoured by girls who have homes in Wellington. Factories and laundries employ so many of our working-girls that few are left to take domestic work. The reason given by the girls who have formerly been in domestic service and since taken to factorywork is the dullness and monotony of housework. Some maids assert that with some mistresses it is useless to get one's work done quickly and well, as other tasks are found for them to do, which they find very discouraging. I think there are few employers to be found nowadays who do not appreciate good servants, and do all in their power to make them as comfortable as possible and to retain their services. I think, from observation, that a much better understanding is gradually arising between mistress and maid, founded on mutual respect and usefulness to each other, and on the more solid basis of a business transaction—of being well paid for work well done, and leaving all personal feelings aside. lam sure the trifling differences that sometimes occur between mistress and maid will soon be a thing of the past, the reason being that domestic work will be considered one of the most essential acquirements of women, no matter to what class in society they may belong. Casual work has been found for a number of women with families to support, whose husbands are temporarily out of work, &c. The usefulness of the Women's Branch of the Labour Department to strangers is much appreciated, and really good work is done in helping girls by advice and practical assistance. I have, &c, Edward Tregear, Esq., Helen Staveley. Secretary to the Department of Labour, Wellington.
CHRISTCHURCH. Sic, — Department of Labour, Christchurch, 6th April, 1904. I have the honour to submit my report of the work of this section of the Department for the year now terminated. Geneeal. The period under review has been one of fairly satisfactory progress in most branches and departments of skilled trades. The engineering and iron trades maintained the steady advance with which they closed last year until about the middle or a little later in this year, when there was a considerable falling-off in the engineering, boilermaking, and blacksmithing branches. These branches have remained in a quiet condition, with no apparent immediate prospects of improvement. On the other hand, the moulding, range-making, and other branches are in a very healthy state, with fair prospects of a continuance of the present activity. The building trades have on the whole been very active during the year. Good and efficient tradesmen have been at a premium. A large number of underpaid journeymen carpenters have found employment in consequence of the scarcity of competent hands. Bricklayers, stonemasons, plumbers, gasfitters, and plasterers have had an exceedingly busy year. Since the end of February there has been a marked diminution in the joiner and carpenter branches, and quite a number of skilled artisans have had to be content with intermittent employment. The furniture trades are still in a buoyant condition, with plenty of employment for all hands engaged ; the outlook is bright and promising. The boot and shoe trades have a much better tone than for years past, and so far as one can judge the improvement is of a permanent character. The saddlery and harness trades are still, and to all present appearances are likely to remain, in a most unsatisfactory state, owing to the large quantity of imported goods coming into the market. The employment in these trades has been very irregular. Tanning, fellir.ongering, and wool-scouring works have not been so busy as during the two previous years. It is difficult, owing to the intermittent nature of these industries, to ascertain with any degree of accuracy their true state. The tailoring, clothing, and dressmaking trades have had a good year; in the busy seasons a considerable amount of overtime was worked—in many instances the full limit allowed by the Factories Act; and the present prospects are such as to inspire confidence. The woollen-mills have been exceedingly busy all through the year; they have had great difficulty indeed in securing anything like an adequate supply of females for their hosiery departments. By replacing the old looms with more modern and faster ones they have been able to increase their output considerably; they have also considerably enlarged the hosiery department by additional new and commodious buildings. Laundry-work has gone ahead by leaps and bounds, and the number of employees has about doubled during the year.

H.—ll
Unskilled Labotje. Year by year the unskilled-labour market presents a much more pleasing aspect; we have practically no difficulty in placing the bulk of bond fide unemployed, either in private employment or on some of the public works of the colony. We have had quite a number of unskilled labourers from the other colonies ; many of them have been assisted and directed into districts where employment could be found. Two hundred and fifty-eight men, with 305 persons depending on them, have been sent to employment through this office during the year—namely, 74 married and 184 single: 172 married and 99 single less than for last year. Factoeies. The Factories Act is, comparatively speaking, one of the easiest and most satisfactory we have to administer; every section of the Act is so well defined that there is little chance of a dual construction being put upon it. The annual increases in wages to persons under twenty years of age naturally affects those who through ineptitude cannot qualify themselves for the increased rate, but these are very few. There have been several instances where the annual increases have not been paid on due date, but when the employer's attention has been drawn to the .omission the arrears were paid forthwith. In most instances the oversight was the fault of the person in charge of the department, and not of the employers themselves. Several new and improved factory buildings have been erected during the year, also new iron fire-escape staircases with doors opening outwards on to the landings. A considerable number of sanitary improvements have also been effected. This year 1,091 factories have been registered in this district,employing 10,742 hands—namely, 7,350 males and 3,392 females. 2,218 women and young persons under sixteen years of age and 617 males over sixteen years of age have worked overtime. [For table see page 16.] Four hundred and fifty-five certificates have been issued to young persons under sixteen years of age—viz., 214 males and 241 females. One hundred and twenty-three accidents have been reported during the year, none of which have been fatal, the most serious being that of a master joiner who lost the four fingers of his right hand on a band saw in his own workroom. There have also been forty accidents reported from the Government Workshops at Addington, none of which were serious. There have been fifteen convictions under the Act during the year, and one case was dismissed. Shops and Shop-assistants Act and its Amendments. These Acts work remarkably well. I adhere to my previously expressed opinion that all shops not exempted under the Act should close on the same day ; and the provisions which apply to assistants in exempted shops, hotel-bars, banks, offices, &c, should be more clearly defined and made easier to administer. There have been ten convictions under this Act during the year. Permits have been given to work overtime to thirteen males, who worked ninety-one hours, and to 121 females, who worked 1,498 hours. Seevants' Registey Offices Act. This Act could be much more satisfactorily administered if the license-holders were compelled to give receipts for fees received from both employers and servants. There have been two prosecutions against the same registry-office keeper; penalties of £5 and £2 and costs were imposed, with two indorsements on the license—this was for charging excessive fees. With this exception the Act has worked smoothly. Industrial Conciliation and Aebiteation Acts. The Amendment Act of last session having made it mandatory for Inspectors of Factories to enforce awards, it naturally brings with it increased responsibility, requiring prudence and carefulness in dealing with industrial difficulties which arise from time to time. In some instances omissions will occur through inadvertence on one side or the other, and where such is the case, and the Department is satisfied that the omission is not wilful and the offending party is willing to put things right, the duty of the Department is easy ; but in all cases where a deliberate breach of any award or industrial agreement has been committed the Department has only one course open, and that is to bring the case before the Arbitration Court. I have investigated sixty-five cases of alleged breaches of awards during the year. I have had three cases before the Arbitration Court, and in each case the decision of the Court was in favour of the Department, the employers being ordered to pay up arrears of wages. In many of the other cases that have come under my notice arrears of wages and overtime have been paid, and in others wages have been adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. There are twelve charges of breaches of awards awaiting the next sitting of the Arbitration Court. In closing, I again acknowledge my indebtedness to both employers and employees for the kindly courtesy I have invariably received at their hands. I have, &c, John Lomas, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

DUNEDIN. Sic, — Department of Labour, Dunedin, 9th April, 1904. I have the honour to submit my report on the working of this branch of the Department for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. Factoeies. I am pleased to say the period has been one of general satisfaction to employers and employees. Factory-owners give more attention to the general arrangements connected with their workrooms than was customary in past years. Little or no difficulty is now experienced in their providing for the comfort of their employees in such matters as fire-escapes, sanitary arrangements, and cleanliness. The general welfare of the worker has now the attention it deserves ; and it is patent to all employers that better results can be obtained by studying the comfort of those employed in their factories. One of the chief factors is good ventilation, and this is most necessary. I think the time has now passed when employers were in constant temptation of securing wealth by means which were injurious to their workers. The new factories that have sprung into existence the last year have been a decided improvement on the old idea that any place was good enough for a workroom, for I find that employers have a great desire themselves to improve the condition of the worker in this respect. The Factories Act of 1901 is much admired, and is now working exceedingly well, giving general satisfaction to the employer. It is indeed pleasing to be able to say that not a single case has been brought against any employer for not adhering to or complying with the requisition to improve the sanitary condition of his workroom, and I wish to record the valuable assistance given me by the District Health Officer (Dr. Ogston) and his assistants, and by the city officials. During the period there has been an increase in the number of factories, which is now 648; and the number of persons employed is 8,329 —viz., 5,451 males and 2,878 females. It will be seen by the above numbers that Dunedin is capable of standing heavy knocks, such as last year, when the dredging slump affected so many, and the engineering trade suffered so heavily thereby, throwing a large number of men out of work. But this was only for a very short time. New life and energy have sprung into those industries again, and now every engineering shop is steadily increasing its hands; and I feel confident there will be a much larger increase next year, as everything points in that direction, The amount of overtime worked is as follows: 1,306 males over sixteen years of age worked 129,242 hours; 1,487 females and youths under sixteen years of age have worked 46,200 hours : making a total number of hours worked by 2,893 persons of 175,442 hours. During the year 502 permits have been issued to young persons to work in factories—viz., 219 boys and 283 girls. Of the boys, 71 passed the Fourth Standard, 69 the Fifth, and 79 the Sixth. Of the girls, 84 passed the Fourth Standard, 107 the Fifth, and 92 the Sixth. Accidents. There have been 55 accidents during the year. One was fatal and three of a serious nature ; the remaining 51 were of a slight nature. In all cases the machinery was inspected and inquiries made, and when additional guarding was necessary it was cheerfully done by the employers. It is now noticeable that in factories where machinery is used those in charge have a desire to guard and protect where necessary ; this is a great assistance to the Inspector in carrying out his duties, for if machinery is protected properly it must have the desired effect in reducing the number of accidents. Servants' Registey Offices Act. This Act is working very well. Very few complaints are heard; but where a complaint has been made I have at once made strict inquiries, and in most cases found there was little ground for such complaint. The great difficulty is in getting good domestic servants. The competition seems keen, and some of the licensees are making it a rule to charge only the applicants, which is most unfair to others who keep strictly to the scale of fees. There are sixteen licensed offices in the city, and all are well conducted. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. There is little to report on the working of the above Act, as the same difficulties still exist in administering it. A colonial closing-day is much needed. lam of opinion that there should be no exemptions for fruiterers; they ought to close on the closing-day of all other shops. As the law stands at present they can sell articles that other shops have to close for selling, as under the heading of a " fruiterer " they can sell what is customary to the trade. An instance of this was given in a prosecution here against two fruiterers for selling flowers on the half-holiday, while the florist a few doors away was compelled to close for selling a like article. It was held that it was customary for fruiterers to sell flowers, and the charges against them were dismissed. This has given rise to much dissatisfaction among shopkeepers, and it makes it very difficult for the Inspector to carry out his duties. Industeial Conciliation and Arbiteation Act. This Act is working as well as can be expected ; but, like most of the other Acts, it requires a large amount of attention and care, so that its use may not become an abuse. It is held by some employers to be one of the most equitable Acts on the statute-books of New Zealand. It was predicted by some that it would do away with energy and competition, but I think this has been proved to be wrong. In fact, the benefits of this Act to the employers and the workers and to the community as a whole are great. All differences can now be settled without having recourse to strikes or lock-outs.
H.—ll
I think the Act loses a large amount of its good by the long absence of the Court from any one district: sometimes nine months elapse before a dispute can be heard. Meantime those interested may have left the district. No doubt those matters will have the attention they deserve. It has been held that an individual member of a union cannot be cited before the Court for breach of award: if this be so, I think it is a defect, and ought to be remedied as soon as possible. Unskilled Labour. During the year 194 men have found employment on Government and private works through the Department. Very little difficulty has been experienced by men in search of employment in obtaining it; for those willing to work there was plenty in the country districts. The city has been relieved of its surplus labour by work being plentiful on the electric-tramway lines and on the drainage-works now in course of construction. Large numbers have come from the Old Country and the neighbouring States in search of employment. When calling at this office on arrival, if no employment was offered them they lost no time in moving into the country districts; it is only the undesirable class that hangs about the city. Taking it altogether, this has been a very prosperous year for the workers in general, and the prospects are exceedingly good for the ensuing year. In closing my report, I feel it is my duty to thank all employers and employees for the kind courtesy that has been shown me in the execution of my duties. It is a great assistance to any Inspector to feel that he has the confidence of both parties while doing his duty honestly and fearlessly. I have, &c, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. J. B. Lindsay.
RUSSELL. Sic, — Department of Labour, Russell, 31st March, 1904. I have the honour to submit for your information my annual report upon the working of the Factories Act in my district for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. I find that the Act has been working smoothly—there have been no complaints and no prosecutions. I am sorry to say that two accidents occurred during the year, details of which have been sent to your office. Business on the whole has been brisk. Mullet-canning. The mullet-canning factories at Russell and Purerua have had a limited supply of fish. The weather during the year has been most unpropitious for the factories and the fishermen. The Waikare factory closed down, and the plant was moved to Hokianga and re-erected there. Kauei-gum. The gumfields seem to be a reserve for the settlers and others to fall back on when other spheres of labour are dull. The high prices now ruling for gum have caused an influx of men to the gumfields. Good wages have been made by those digging in the swamps. Flax. The high prices now ruling for dressed flax have given an unusual activity to the industry in this district. No less than four flax-mills have been erected, giving employment to a large number of men. Whaling. The shore whaling at Whangaumu seems to be improved upon each season by those engaged studying closely the habits of the whales, and the manner in which they try to avoid the nets set to catch.them. Eighteen whales took the nets and were killed by the whalers, but only sixteen were landed. Two of the largest whales sank with the nets on them, and all efforts to recover the whales and the nets proved unsuccessful. This was a great loss to those concerned, because the whales were very fat and would have yielded a considerable quantity of oil, and the carcases would have made several tons of fish manure ; the two nets alone were worth £50. Dairying. The dairying industry is still in an incipient stage as far as this district is concerned. The butter-factory at Ohaeawai and the creamery at Okaihau are making steady progress. In the near future dairying will be the chief and permanent industry in this district, especially when the large blocks of Native land in and around Kaikohe and Ohaeawai are finally dealt with by the Maori Lands Council, and opened up for settlement. All the land in question is suitable for dairy-farming. Timber. This industry appears to be improving. The old sawmill at Opua was pulled down and a large and commodious mill, with modern machinery, erected in its stead. This mill commenced operations recently, and is now giving employment to seventeen hands, nine more than were employed at the old mill. The frequent heavy rains during the year caused freshes in the creeks, bringing out a large number of logs which had been lying in these creeks for nearly two years past. These logs are now in the booms at the mill. The first shipment—ll7,ooo ft. of sawn timber —from this mill was taken to Dunedin by the brigantine " Sarah and Mary " this month. This vessel is to return and take another load for that port. I have, &c, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector, Wellington. Wm. Pardy, Inspector.

ROTORUA. Sic, — Police-station, Rotorua, 2nd April, 1904. I have the honour to submit for your information my annual report upon the working of the Factories and other Acts in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. During the year 30 factories were registered, wherein were employed 146 men and 9 women, as against 23 registered in 1902, wherein were employed 103 men and 6 women. During the three months of the past year in which I have acted as Inspector of Factories in this district only one accident was reported—viz., an accidental fall of an attendant in one of the flax-mills while engaged screwing up a bolt. This was in no way due to any fault of the machinery, and, as stated, was purely accidental. There have been no prosecutions since I took over this office, and my predecessor informs me there were none during his term of office. So far as I have been able to see, everything in connection with the factories is highly satisfactory. No overtime permits were issued. Shops and Shop-assistants Acts. During the year these Acts have worked smoothly and well, and no complaints have been received from either employer or employed. Seevants' Registry Offices Act. There are now no registered offices for servants in this district, the only office that formerly existed having closed during the latter part of the year. Labour. No applications have been received during the year for employment, the local demand being sufficient to absorb any casual or surplus labour. The past year, from all I can glean, has been a prosperous one, and capital and labour have benefited thereby. I have, &c, W. T. Phaie, Sergeant, and Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
GISBORNE. Sir, — Department of Labour, Gisborne, 31st March, 1904. I have the honour so submit to you my annual report, as Inspector of Factories, for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. During the year 74 factories were registered—an increase of 5 on the preceding year—employing 688 males and 89 females, totalling 777 persons, an increase of 138 on the previous year. Ten permits were granted to young persons under sixteen years of age to work in factories. Five hundred and fifty-one hours' overtime were worked in factories by 64 persons, and 40 hours' overtime in shops by 11 persons. No accidents were recorded during the year. One license was granted and two renewed under the Servants' Registry Offices Act. The Factories, Shops and Shop-assistants, and Servants' Registry Offices Acts have worked well during the year, there having been no complaints and no prosecutions. The Accommodation for Shearers Act is having a good effect, the accommodation improving yearly. This district is prospering owing to large areas of bush being felled and the clearings grassed. A number of butter-factories and creameries have been erected. Work of all kind 3 is plentiful, and experienced bushmen and carpenters are being inquired for. I have, &c, Myles Doyle, Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
NAPIER. Sir, — Department of Labour, Napier, 2nd April, 1904. I have the honour to present to you my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. Factories. There were 167 factories and workrooms registered during the year, an increase of 8, employing 21 boys and 42 females under sixteen years of age, 241 females above that age, and 931 males, making a total of 1,235 workers—viz., 952 males and 283 females. Overtime warrants have been issued to 16 factory and workroom owners to work 129 females and boys 1,562| hours. Ninety-two males have worked overtime 9,216£ hours. Of this, 62 engineers have worked 7,716| hours, and tailors, approximately, 1,500. - Certificates of fitness to work in factories or workrooms have been issued to 18 boys and 28 girls. Three accidents have been reported, none of which was very serious. There were two prosecutions. Fines were imposed in each case. iii—H. 11.

H.—ll
Shops and Shop-assistants Act. From what I have heard from employers and employees, this Act is, with one exception, giving general satisfaction. The exception is the one I have mentioned in former reports from another district—namely, the right employers have of having their employees, especially females, back to work at night. This, I trust, will soon be at an end. There has been one prosecution—four cases against the same person. Fines were inflicted in each case. Labour. From what I can learn from those who are most likely to know, tradesmen of all classes have had a fairly good year. Work for the unskilled worker has been exceedingly good for the last six months. The previous half-year, lam informed, was not so good. The unsettled weather made it hard for the outside worker to make fair wages. There are no applicants for work on the register at the present time. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. There were two cases under this Act brought by this office during the year for breaches of the Wellington Typographical Award. Penalties were imposed in each case, and the defendant was ordered to pay up all back pay. Servants' Registey Offices Act. There are two licensed registry offices in this town, both of which are well conducted. In conclusion, I am gratified to state that from personal observation this district is progressing in a steady manner. The buildings lately erected and those in course of erection would be a credit to a much larger town than Napier. Industries of all kinds are on a fairly large scale, and I think I can safely say that in a very few years the exports will exceed the expectations of the most sanguine. During the few months I have been here I have found the workers, with very few exceptions, a steady and industrious class. I have, &c, The Chief Inspector, Wellington. W. G. Blake, Inspector.
DANNEVIRKE. Sir,— Department of Labour, Dannevirke, Ist April, 1904. I beg to submit my annual report for the period ending the 31st March, 1904. Factories Act. lam pleased to report that factory matters are in a satisfactory condition. I have received no complaints from employers, and no complaints have reached me from employees, so that I conclude there are few abuses in contravention of the law of a tangible nature, or I should have heard something of them during the period under review. There are 66 factories and workrooms registered this year, employing 407 males and 25 females (total, 432), against 52 last year, employing 300 males and 18 females (total, 318); an increase in factories of 14, males 107, females 7 (total, 114). Nine permits have been issued to young persons to work in factories (all boys) ; 2 had passed Standard IV., 5 Standard V., 2 Standard VI. In each case I obtained proof of age from Registrars of Births. Be overtime : Very little overtime has been worked here. Six women worked 60 hours' overtime under permit at dressmaking. There are 25 sawmills employing 221 men scattered over this district; the number includes only those actually employed in the mill, and not the bushmen and others, who quite double that number. One accident occurred. Through inexperience or carelessness, a man got his hand severely cut by a breaking-down saw, which incapacitated him for many weeks. There have been numerous accidents to bushmen in the bush in connection with the sawmilling industry ; one was fatal. There were no prosecutions. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. The provisions of this Act have been fairly complied with. There has been no friction, and no complaints have reached me from those employed in shops or offices. The legal half-holiday is Wednesday, and it has been strictly observed. There were no prosecutions. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are two licensed registry offices in this town, both of which have been conducted in a creditable manner. No complaints have reached me from employers seeking employees, or persons obtaining or seeking employment. Labour. The sawmilling industry in this district employs a large number of men constantly, and at good wages ; all have to be skilled or partly skilled before obtaining employment at this work. All the mills have been busy and running full time, giving constant employment. All unskilled labour has been fully employed at bushfelling, road-making, scrub-cutting, grassseeding, &c. Very few swagmen have been seen on the roads, and those have been mostly elderly men.
xviii
H.—ll
Brickmakers, bricklayers, carpenters, blacksmiths, saddlers, tailors, cabinetmakers, engineers, have all been busy and fully employed. Labour, both skilled and unskilled, has had a most prosperous year. Trade, both wholesale and retail, has been very good and sound. So much so that the town has been growing with marvellous rapidity. Some fine buildings (business) have been erected, and several large firms have opened branches here during the period under review. As the sawmiller is clearing the land the dairy-farmer is following close up. There are now two large dairy factories. I have, &c, A. Cruickshank, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories. Inspector of Factories.
PALMERSTON NORTH. Sic, — Department of Labour, Palmerston North, sth April, 1904. I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year ended the 31st March. Factories. I have registered 165 factories during the year, an increase of fifty-seven on the previous year, which is evidence of the growth of business and population in this district. Certificates of fitness to work in factories have been granted to four boys and twelve girls under sixteen years of age. Overtime warrants were granted to 118 women of all ages, and boys and girls under sixteen, who worked 1,626 hours. There were two prosecutions during the year—one for working beyond the time specified by Act, and one for employing hands overtime without a warrant. In both cases fines with costs were inflicted. Servants' Registry Offices. There are five in the town, conducted in a proper manner, and I have had no complaints lodged. Shearers' Accommodation. I have visited forty shearing-sheds in my district, reports upon which have been forwarded to the Department. The sheds and houses were found to be satisfactory. Accidents. During the year four accidents have been reported to me. These happened to fingers and hands by saws and planing-machine, but were not of a very serious nature. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. The Act works fairly well. There have been no prosecutions under it. Notices have been served in several cases re sanitary arrangements, which were at once attended to. Forty-two females worked 530-J- hours and four males under eighteen years worked thirteen hours' overtime. I have, &c, H. W. Knowles, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories. Inspector of Factories.
WANGANUI. Sic, — Wanganui, 7th April, 1904. I have the honour to submit my report for the period ending the 31st March. Factories. During the year the total number of factories registered in Wanganui amounted to 163, an increase on the preceding year of 22, employing 943 persons—males, 791 ; females, 152. There have been two prosecutions—one under section 39, " The Factories Act, 1901," for failing to report accident, and one under section 35 for failing to pay girl's wages for statutory holidays. Convictions were recorded and fines inflicted in both cases. Overtime warrants were issued to fifteen occupiers of factories to work 145 females and boys 2,075 hours. Certificates of fitness have been granted to fourteen girls and sixteen boys. Two accidents have been reported—one to an employer, who lost three fingers at a circular saw. The Factories Act works well in this district, and seems to grow in popularity with both employers and employees. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. One employer was prosecuted for employing seven women for more than nine hours and a half in one day and over fifty-two hours in one week; he was further charged with failing to allow his assistants one hour for dinner. Convictions were recorded on all charges. Everything is working smoothly now, and a large number of the principal shopkeepers have a movement afoot to close their shops at 9 p.m. on Saturday out of consideration for their employees.

XX
Servants' Registry Offices Act. During the year nine registry offices have been licensed. On the whole, they are conducted satisfactorily ; but on one occasion I had to administer a caution for excessive charging, the amount in excess being promptly refunded to the applicant for employment. Laboue. Work in all branches has been plentiful. Thirty-four people have been assisted to employment. Several new factories are in course of erection, and new industries are about to be introduced to Wanganui. Industrially, Wanganui is progressing rapidly, and gives promise of becoming a large manufacturing centre. The Labour Journal continues to be eagerly inquired for by both employers and workers, and all parties recognise and appreciate its usefulness. I have, &c, W. H. McQuaeters, Inspector of Factories, Wanganui. The Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
HAWERA. Sic, — Police-station, Hawera, 31st March, 1904. I have the honour to report for your information upon the working of the Factories and Shops and Shop-assistants Acts during the past year. There were 87 factories and workrooms registered, employing 297 males and 75 females, as against 74 factories and workrooms registered for the previous year, employing 265 males and 52 females, which shows a large increase. A brickworks has been started here recently, which will employ several hands when in full work. Unskilled labour has at times been in great demand. The building trade has been very brisk. Dairying has been in a very flourishing state, a number of new arrivals in the district taking up dairy farms. Three new creameries have been erected in different parts of this district within the past few months to meet the requirements of suppliers of milk. Bushmen have been in demand, but cannot be got. There have been no prosecutions. The various labour Acts have been working satisfactorily. I have, &c, J. S. Beenard, Sergeant, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
STRATFORD. Sir, — Inspector of Factories' Office, Stratford, 7th May, 1904. In forwarding my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904, I beg to state that the Factories Act has worked smoothly for the past year, there being no prosecutions. No overtime or young persons' permits were issued by me. Fifty-eight factories were registered for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. The building trade keeps fairly busy, there being a number of new buildings in course of erection. The engineering trade, which includes plumbing, is very busy. Clothing trade fairly good. General retail trade not quite so brisk as this time last year, the general-store keepers going on cash lines, and not allowing the former undue-credit system. There is very little unskilled labour required in the borough, and the road contractors are reducing hands for the winter, so that I do not think this district will afford so much employment for unskilled labour as in former years. Many settlers on the East Road have notified me that they and their sons would like to get work on the Toko Branch Railway should the work be pushed on this winter. Thirty-one men, with 113 persons dependent upon them, have been assisted during the year by sending them on to the Toko Railway construction-works. Yours, &c, W. D. Ryan, Inspector. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
NEW PLYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, New Plymouth, 3rd May, 1904. I have the honour to forward my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904, as follows :— The total number of factories registered during the year ending as above was 130, the same number as last year, employing 529 males and 103 females, as against 483 males and 117 females last year, an increase of 46 males and a decrease of 14 females. The increase so far would lead to the conclusion that a fair advance has been made in business generally. - The past year has been unprecedented in the amount of butter sent away at good prices, but yet money is tight. The building boom which was in existence twelve months ago has fallen away, and at least two hundred artisans have sought fresh fields for labour. This, together with an increase in the number of business places, and a boom in values of suburban sections, is perhaps responsible for the complaints of business being dull.
FL—ll
A fresh industry has started during the past year—viz., brickmaking, on the Smart Road, a short distance from town—and is likely to do a fair trade. The borough works now in progress—-viz., drainage and sewerage, improved water-supply, together with the electric light—have been the means of affording steady employment to a fair number of the labouring-class. One conviction was obtained against an employer for working girls after hours without a permit. No accidents have taken place during the past year. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. Under this Act one employer was convicted for employing labour on the weekly half-holiday. Servants' Registry Offices Act. The three persons registered under this Act supply a want, and give satisfaction to all parties interested. I have, &c, Walter H. Haddrell, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
MASTERTON. Sir, — • Department of Labour, Masterton, 4th May, 1904. I have the honour to present to you my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. Factories Act. Under this Act there were 90 factories registered during the present year, employing 402 males and 68 females, making a total of 470, as against 438 males and 51 females for the year 1903, a decrease of 19 for this year. The decrease is accounted for by a few flax-mills closing down, the flax being cut out. Four accidents were reported during the past year, one man being killed at a sawmill by a tree falling on him ; the other three were slight. The factories have been well conducted, no complaints having been made and no prosecutions have taken place. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. The Act is working well. The holidays and half-holidays have been well observed, and no complaints were made by any one of not having obtained the holidays. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are three licensed holders under this Act. The registry offices are well conducted. I have received no complaints from those seeking or obtaining employment. I have, &c, Jas. O'Malley, The Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
BLENHEIM. Sir, Labour Department, Blenheim, 19th April, 1904. I have the honour to submit my annual report for the Blenheim district for the year ended the 31st March last. The number of factories registered was 79, a decrease of 3 on that of the previous year. The total number of hands employed, however, shows an increase, the figures being males 371 and females 23. The males increased by 10 and the females decreased by 7. The diminution among the females is due to the varying conditions of the dressmaking trade. Labour was comfortably absorbed during the year, either by public works or private employment. A factor which should tend to increase the number of employed in the near future is the establishment of the Wellington and Marlborough Lime and Cement Company's works, about three miles from Picton. It is expected that the industry will be giving employment within a year or so to sixty or seventy hands. The farmers have had a successful year, the returns being profitable, though the prices were not so high as those of the previous year; the harvest was a good one, though unfortunately some heavy individual losses were sustained through a flood of exceptional severity which occurred in March. Those farmers who suffered, however, bore their losses with an admirable spirit, and the particular localities affected have made a wonderful recovery. Wages on farms generally have been good. ...... . , The flax industry has maintained its propenty and still gives employment to a large number of hands, and it is without doubt due to the large number of men required at the flax-mills that so few unemployed have been seen during the year. In the gold-mining industry, which has been at a discount for some time, there is nothing new to report. , , ' The building trade has been very brisk, and good carpenters have been hard to obtain. The engineering trade has been kept fairly busy, operations being mostly in the nature of repairs. Trade in general has been good. Both the dairy and poultry industries have made solid advancement, and the extension of poultry-farming is a marked feature.
xxi
H.—ll
The shearers' accommodation as a whole is good. Exceptions were noted in the case of some back-country places, where the supply of timber and building-labour were matters of difficulty ; but the station-holders spoken to have agreed to make improvements. There was one prosecution under the Shops and Shop-assistants Act, and a conviction recorded. No trouble has been experienced in the working of this Act, employers generally looking forward to the half-holiday with as much pleasure as the employees. It is recognised, however, that the public convenience would be much better served if the shops half-holiday and the factories half-holiday were observed on the one day. Two accidents were reported during the year, both unfortunately proving fatal. I have, &c, D. Caemody, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
NELSON. Sic, — Department of Labour, Nelson, 31st March, 1904. I have the honour to report on the working of the various Acts in connection with this Department for the year ending the 31st March, 1904, as follows : — It is my pleasing duty to again report a prosperous year. The progress of the city during the last twelve months has been remarkable, and business generally throughout the district is steadily on the increase. Building trades generally have been very brisk ; a great number of buildings have been erected, and a large number are still in course of erection. Messrs. Griffin and Son's large biscuit-factory was destroyed by fire during the year, whereby about 115 hands were thrown out of employment. However, temporary premises have been erected and a number of hands again employed. The rebuilding of the new factory has commenced, and the company hope to again be in full swing before the end of the year with a much larger factory on more up-to-date lines. Factoeies Act. During the year 171 factories were registered, employing 806 males and 247 females. The Act continues to give general satisfaction to both employer and employee, and no difficulty has been experienced in carrying out its provisions. There seems to be a general desire on the part of factory-occupiers to comply with the Act, and I have had no occasion to prosecute any person during the year. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. This Act also continues to give general satisfaction here, and no difficulty has been experienced in enforcing its provisions. The shops are all kept in a very sanitary state, and the comfort of assistants is well considered. I have had no prosecutions during the year. Be the half-holiday : A feeling still exists among employees and also among a number of employers here that Saturday would be a better day for the closing of shops. I hope that before long Saturday will be appointed closing-day throughout the colony. Sheaeees' Accommodation. There are only three shearing-sheds in this district, and in each case the accommodation provided is satisfactory. Servants' Registry Offices. There are no offices under this Act in this district. Labour. There are very few unemployed in this district. Thirty-six men were sent from this office to the railway-works at Motupiko, and several others were sent to private employment. Any person really wanting work can easily obtain it. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. I have until quite recently had very little to do under this Act, as there were no awards or agreements here until a few months ago. The painters' agreement came into force in October last; since then I have had to cite two persons before the Arbitration Court for breach of the agreement in not paying the minimum wage fixed to certain employees, and three convictions followed. Industrial agreements were new to these persons, and they did not know to what extent the agreement bound them. The prosecutions thoroughly showed them their position, and I think will do a large amount of good. Yours, &c, C. E. Aldridge, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

WESTPORT. Sir, — Police-station, Westport, 2nd April, 1904. I have the honour to inform you that during the year forty-five factories were registered in the Westport district. One factory gave up business, and two new ones took its place. The Factories Act and Shops and Shop-assistants Act are working very smoothly, not the slightest hitch occurring between employers and employees. The Inspector is not given any trouble—shops and factories are shut regularly and holidays observed. I have, &c, Francis Cullen, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
GREY.MOUTH. Sir,— Greymouth, 7th April, 1904. I have the honour to forward you my first annual report on the working of the Factories Act and the Shops and Shop-assistants Act in the Grey district for the year ending the 31st March, 1904 Factories. During the year there were 100 factories registered, an increase of 38 on the previous year. These factories employed 606 persons —viz., 473 males and 133 females—an increase of 173 persons on the preceding year. Of the above number, 19 were females under sixteen years of age and 114 over sixteen, and 26 males were under sixteen and 447 over sixteen. Permits. For the same period 45 permits were issued for young persons—26 boys and 19 girls. Of the former, 3 had passed the Fourth Standard, 6 the Fifth, 15 the Sixth, and 2 the Seventh ; and of the latter, 1 bad passed the Fourth Standard, 6 the Fifth, 9 the Sixth, and 3 the Seventh. Overtime. Overtime warrants were issued for 160 persons —100 males who worked 3,559 hours, and 60 females who worked 2,650* hours ; total hours worked, 6,209*. The following table shows the trades in which overtime was worked : —
As a rule, employers discourage the practice of working overtime ; they find it more profitable to employ an extra hand or two than to work young persons longer hours. No prosecutions took place during the year, and no serious disputes occurred between employers and their assistants. A few complaints by employees were made, but they were easily and amicably adjusted to the satisfaction of both parties. Accidents. Several accidents occurred, one proving fatal; some were serious, such as fractured limbs, &c.; the others were of a trivial nature. Factory-owners have been very lax in the matter of reporting accidents. The Act has been fairly well observed by occupiers during the year considering that it was new to many of them, and where breaches did occur it was through want of knowledge of the Act rather than defiance of it. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. Although of a more complex nature than the Factories Act, this Act is working fairly satisfactorily. It might be worked more smoothly if there was less latitude allowed in the manner of observing the half-holiday. At present, while the majority of the shopkeepers close on Wednesday, there are some (small shopkeepers) who have chosen Thursday, Friday, or Saturday to close! Then, again, another day may be observed (very imperfectly, though) by request of the Mayor, and as a rule there is no unanimous desire to comply with such request; the consequence is that no strict half-holiday is kept at all that week. The indiscriminate choice of a day for closing interferes with the perfect administration of the Act. There should be a uniform hour for closing also, and permits for young persons should be issued as under the Factories Act.

Overtime. Overtime warrants were issued for 13 females over sixteen years of age, who worked 116 hours: and for 6 males over sixteen, who worked 43 hours : total, 19 persons, 159 hours. Sanitation. The sanitary arrangements of the town are not what can be called perfect. There were quite a number of improvements made in this respect in accordance with instructions given by the Deputy Chief Inspector on his last visit to the district. More personal attention is required on the part of employers to see that the ordinary laws of cleanliness are carried out on their premises, as employees are exceedingly careless in this respect. Labour. For the year ending the 31st March, 1904, employment was found for 125 men, having 284 dependants, on the co-operative works, Coal Creek Railway. For the same period 68 men were found work by the Railway Department at ballasting, while 18 others were sent to the North Island Main Trunk Railway and 12 to the Midland Railway ; many others were assisted towards getting private employment. Of the above number of men employed at Coal Creek works, it is gratifying to be able to record the fact that no disputes occurred to interfere with the progress of the works, or to harass the officers having control of them, and I deem it my duty to testify to the excellence of the cooperative system as being, in my opinion, an admirable and equitable one for all classes of workmen when administered by capable and practical officers. It is pleasing also to be able to state that, of the large number of "all sorts and conditions of men" seeking employment and passing through the books since I have had the honour of conducting this branch of the Department, the utmost good feeling and harmony existed in all dealings between the applicants and the Department, and one and all highly appreciate the efforts made by the Government on their behalf. Exports. The exports of timber and minerals from the Port of Greymouth for the year ending the 31st March, 1904, were as follows : Timber, 19,945,937 ft.; bricks, 1,349 tons; coal, 178,431 tons; sleepers, 97,776; coke, 1,848 tons. The sawmilling and flax-dressing industries are steadily expanding on the West Coast, and increasing their respective outputs. Business in all trades in Greymouth during the year has been very satisfactory, and at present is in a sound and flourishing condition, and there is every prospect of a continued prosperity, as the population of the town is rapidly increasing. Many additions and improvements have been made to business premises, and a number of handsome private residences have been erected during the year. The building trades have been very brisk during the year. In conclusion, I desire to state that, with one exception only, I have found factory-owners courteous and reasonable at all times to deal with, and willing to comply with the Act. I have, &c, James Isdell, The Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
HOKITIKA. Sic, — Police-station, Hokitika, 13th April, 1904. I have the honour to forward my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. The prosperity of this district, which has very perceptibly increased during the last few years, has made a still further decided improvement this last twelve months, with every prospect that it will be lasting. The railway-bridge, which is now nearly completed over the Hokitika River, will give easy access to the large and valuable bush south of the river. There is no lack of work, all classes being fully occupied, and house and land property is going up in value. The causes which have contributed most materially to this result are the timber, flax, and dredging industries, which have also been the means of considerably increasing our population. The burgesses of Hokitika have just decided to obtain a loan of £33,000 to expend in drainageworks, which will give employment to a large number for some time to come. Thirty-six factories were registered last year, giving employment to 161 hands. The various Acts are working very smoothly. No complaints have been received from either employers or employees. The weekly half-holiday is rigidly observed. I have, &c, Wm. Folley, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
RANGIORA. Sic, — Department of Labour, Rangiora, 6th April, 1904. I respectfully report that there are 68 factories in this district, employing in all 262 males and 42 females of all ages. There has been a fair amount of work done in all branches for the year. No accidents have been reported, and no prosecutions have taken place. The Shops and Shop-assistants Act appears to work fairly well in this district.

Be labour: There have been only three applications for work during the year; these were from passing swaggers, and work was found for them. There has been a fair amount of work about this district during the year, and all local hands have been fairly well employed. The builders have been very busy, and are likely to continue so for some time. The twine-mill has been working three shifts all the year. Flax-mills have worked full time. Very little overtime has been worked. The rate of wages paid to boys between fifteen and eighteen years of age at flax-mills runs from 12s. to £1 4s. per week, and men are paid from £1 16s. to £2 2s. I have, &c, T. A. Evenden, The Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
ASHBURTON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Ashburton, 31st March, 1904. I beg to submit my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. Factories : There has been an increase of twenty-nine factories registered this year. Trade generally has been good in all branches, especially the building trades. The freezing-works have been well employed, and the woollen-factory has been running night shifts to cope with orders. There have been seven accidents during the year. Two were serious : one was through a man's hand slipping on the smooth plate of a buzzer saw, resulting in the severing of part of two fingers ; in the other case a boy had two of his fingers torn by the teeth of a wool-washing machine. This last case was through the boy's own recklessness and disobedience to orders. The others were only slight and purely accidental. Shops and Shop-assistants Act: On the whole, I may state that the Act is well carried out, although at first I found the shopkeepers rather lax in closing at the proper time. Servants' registry offices: There are only three offices licensed; they are in the hands of competent people and are well conducted. Sanitary matters: In consequence of the principal business part of this town being so congested, I find great difficulty in keeping these matters up to a standard I should like to see, and I often avail myself of the services of the Borough Inspector to assist me in the work. Labour : I have had only a few applications for work—from men who have come from other parts of the colony. No applications have been made by local men, which is a satisfactory indication of the general prosperity of the district. Shearers' accommodation :On paying the annual visit to the sheds in this district, I am pleased to say that I found them all in good order, and the men well satisfied with the treatment they received. Permits to young persons: There have been 25 certificates issued during the year—l 3 to males and 12 to females. Overtime permits : Permits have been issued to 65 persons, who have worked 1,128* hours. In conclusion, I have to return my thanks to all for the courtesy and consideration accorded to me while in the execution of my various duties. I have, &c, R. S. Bean, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
TIMARU. Sir,— Department of Labour, Timaru, 10th May, 1904. I have the honour to submit for your information my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. Factoeies. lam pleased to say that several necessary improvements have been made during the year. I have had little or no trouble in getting factory-owners to comply with my requests, especially in matters pertaining to sanitary arrangements, and this is especially so when erecting new factories, every attention being given by employers to have everything up to date. These new arrangements are evidently being enjoyed by the employees, and no doubt pay the employer twofold, and. tend to a better mutual understanding. During the year there have been 170 factories registered, an increase of 45 on last year. The number of persons employed is 1,322—viz., 1,013 males and 309 females. During the year 59 certificates have been issued to young persons under sixteen years of age—viz., 38 males and 21 females—an increase of 24 on last year. Accidents. During the year only two accidents were reported—one of a slight nature, the other, lam sorry to say, proved fatal; a carpenter fell from a scaffold and eventually succumbed to his injuries. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. " I find a little difficulty in working this Act with hotel-assistants, but with the majority of shopkeepers I have little or no trouble. If there were one uniform day for closing all shops (including shops not in boroughs or cities), and all assistants, including hotel-assistants, were to have their half-holiday on that particular day, Inspectors would then be able to cope more fully with this work. iv—H. 11.

Seevants' Registey Offices Act. There are only two of these offices in this town, and they are conducted satisfactorily. Laboue. During the year the "unemployed" difficulty has been a comparatively easy matter to cope with, although some hundreds of young men from Victoria and New South Wales have arrived here, the great majority of whom found harvest-work at good wages. There has been and still is a great scarcity of good ploughmen in South Canterbury. We assisted during the year 112 men with 76 dependants—namely, 15 married and 97 single. The building trade in all its different branches has been abnormally busy during the year. Trades-people are all busy, and farmers are having a good time owing to the increased price of wool, and to lambs selling up to 17s. each, notwithstanding the low price of grain. I have, &c, P. Keddie, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
W AIM ATE. Sic, — Department of Labour, Waimate, 31st March, 1904. I have the honour of submitting to you my annual report on the working of the various labour Acts under my charge for the year ending the 31st March. During the year fifty-six factories have been registered, the same number as for last year. The sanitary conditions of the factories are good. Every branch of trade has been active. Three factory - owners have been prosecuted for employing females on the half-holiday; each was convicted and fined. There has been a large influx of Australians into this district in search of harvest-work. It being a bountiful harvest, all obtained employment. Notwithstanding the large number of Australians, there is almost an entire absence of swaggers on the roads; they mostly travel by rail to the various parts of the district in search of harvest-work. The Shops and Shop-assistants Act continues to work satisfactorily, and there is very little trouble in enforcing its provisions. I have, &c, A. Cheistie, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
0 AMARU. Sic, — Department of Labour, Oamaru, 10th April, 1904. I have the honour to submit for your information a report upon the working of the Factories Act, the Shops and Shop-assistants Act, and on the condition of labour in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. Factoeies. Sixty-three factories have been registered, in good and suitable buildings, well kept and well ventilated. I have found very little trouble in getting employers to carry out the provisions of the Act. The woollen-mill—the principal factory in my district—has been well managed, and the manager has shown a desire to do everything for the comfort and well-being of the employees. The other places registered as factories or workrooms have been well kept, and in only a few instances have I found it necessary to have certain improvements effected, which were always done at my request, the employers showing a desire to meet the wishes of the Department. I have issued permits to 5 boys and 6 girls under sixteen years of age, and warrants for overtime to 31 males, who worked 170 hours, and 80 females, who worked 1,028 hours. There are 335 males and 141 females employed in factories and workrooms in the district, and all seem content with the way they are treated. There was only one prosecution for working overtime without permit. A fine of £1 and coats was inflicted. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. This Act has worked satisfactorily. Thursday is the half-holiday. I have had little or no trouble in carrying out the provisions of the law, as the people now know what is required of them, and show a willing desire to observe the law. Laboue. I am glad to say that the past year has been a good one for labouring-people in this district. I have not had the same trouble as in previous years. This is accounted for to a large extent as most of the old hands were sent to co-operative works in the North Island, where many of them have settled on land, and taken their families with them. Farming and dairying provide employment for the youth of the district, who receive good wages, and settle down to it. All trades have been busy during the period, and it is often difficult to obtain good hands at higher wages. lam glad to report a great improvement in labour during the past year. As Inspector of Awards I have had some work with the Tailors' Union, but employers now realise their position, and I do not anticipate any trouble to speak of in future. I have visited and inspected shearing-sheds in my district during the progress of the work, and, with one exception, I found the sheds in good order, and the sleeping-accommodation good. I have, &0., Thomas O'Grady, E. Tregear, Esq., Secretary for Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.

WINTON. Sic,— Winton, 20th April, 1904. I have the honour to report that this district continues prosperous. Threshing for the season is about completed, and the yields on an average are very satisfactory; but the same quantity of oats is not being sent forward this season, as a number of farmers are holding owing to the prices being considerably below that of last year. It will be noticed that there are three factories less registered here this year than was the case last year. This is owing to these having their headquarters in Invercargill, where they register. There will be, I think, a few more flax-mills and one or two sawmills erected here before the close of the present year. All sawmills and flax-mills have been working full time during the year. Labour continues scarce. During the busy season of the year the same trouble existed as during last year, and good men were not to be had. There are no unemployed, so to speak, in this district. Any one able and willing to work can always find employment at good remuneration. Taking the district as a whole, there are signs of prosperity in every part of it. I have, &c, H. P. Rasmussen, The Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
Sir, — Police-station, Otautau, 14th April, 1904. I respectfully beg to submit my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1904. I am pleased to have to report that the Factories Act has worked very well during the year. I have had no trouble whatever in carrying out its provisions. There has been a slight increase in the number of factories registered—viz., 30 this year, as against 28 last year—but, as the schedules show, they are all small, with the exception of flax-mills and sawmills. There have been no overtime permits granted, no accidents have been reported, and no prosecutions for breaches have been necessary. The Shops and Shop-assistants Act is working well. No complaints have been received from employees or others, and the half-holiday has been strictly observed. The building trade during the year has been brisk. Carpenters have been fully employed at building dwellinghouses, more particularly farm homesteads. This in itself testifies to the general prosperity prevailing in the district. Painters and others connected with the building trade are kept constantly employed. Blacksmiths and wheelwrights are kept constantly employed. Sawmills and flax-mills have been very brisk during the year. The sawmills have not increased in number, but by the improvements in machinery and other facilities they are enabled to treat more material. As far as I can learn, the flax-mills are attracting attention, and the good prices at present ruling are making this a profitable industry. The dairy industry has been very satisfactory to the milk-suppliers, owing principally to the good season experienced and the unusual amount of good grass. Judging by the number of rabbits now being sent to the freezing-works, the output will not be nearly so great as for last year. However, this may possibly change in the course of the next few weeks, when the trade will be in full swing. Unskilled labour : There has been no application for work during the year ; local labouringmen do not complain. There is plenty of work, with fair wages, for all genuine working-men. There have been very few swaggers or loafers seen travelling, and very few complaints have been made as to lack of employment. In conclusion, I may mention that there is a great scarcity of trained capable domestic (female) workers. They can demand almost any wage in reason, and usually get what they ask. Most of the competent workers get employment at hotels. They like the high wages given, and they usually manage to get a few hours of leisure one day a week. Good servants are scarce; some of the girls employed are most crude in their knowledge of cooking and general housework, consequently this class of servant-girl does not remain long in one place. On the whole, the condition of the people has, at least in this part of the colony, considerably improved, noticeably so during the past couple of years, and, taking the district generally, it will compare favourably with any other part of the colony. I have, &c, P. Joyce, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
INVERCARGILL. Sir, — Department of Labour, Invercargill, 31st March, 1904. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending as above. Laboue. The period under review has been eminently satisfactory for both skilled and unskilled workers. - The building trade has continued brisk in all branches throughout the year, and there has been no difficulty in tradesmen finding employment; in fact, there has been a steady demand for good tradesmen, especially plasterers. Besides business premises, quite a number of good modern dwellinghouses have been erected, and yet one rarely sees an empty house.

Iron trade : Although the number of men employed in this industry is not so great as during the previous two years, the cause of which I explained last year, still those that are left have had a good year's work. I have not heard of any loss of time through slackness of trade, and the overtime returns show that a good deal of overtime has been worked. The boot trade has been fairly steady. There was a little slackness for about six weeks, but the loss of time was nothing like that usually experienced in this trade in the larger centres. The clothing trade has been good, and for several months was exceptionally so. With most of the firms the limit of overtime allowed to women was worked. Employment in other skilled trades has been good, except in coachbuilding, which was a little quiet for two or three months. Bush sawmills have all kept going steadily throughout the year, and there has at various periods been a good demand for competent men. Flax-milling: This industry is increasing very rapidly. There are now sixty-two flax-mills in Southland, which give direct employment to 930 men and boys. This estimate is based on an average of fifteen hands to each mill, which I think is not too high if flax-cutters, carters, and paddock hands are counted. These are not usually included in the annual factory returns, though there is no doubt the paddock hands should be included. I insist on their inclusion with all mills registered with me. There are twenty-two of these mills registered in the Wyndham Police District, and fourteen in this district. The others are scattered over the Orepuki, Riverton, Otautau, and Lumsden Police Districts, and, of course, are registered in the district in which they are situated. Last year two fatal accidents occurred in flax-mills, but this year, lam pleased to say, I have not heard of any serious accidents. Unskilled labour: This has been an exceptionally good year from a worker's point of view. At no time has there been any glut in the labour-market; in fact, for the greater part of the year the demand has been in excess of the supply, and the ordinary unemployed have been totally absent. Employment has been found for thirty-five men. Of this number only two were sent to Government work, and they were urgently required for bridge-building; the rest were sent to private employment, principally to flax-mills. The Factories Act. There are 231 factories and workrooms registered in this district, employing 1,832 persons— viz., 1,457 males and 375 females. Forty-three permits were issued to boys and girls under section 27, and two under subsection (6) of the same section. The amount of overtime worked by males was 10,060 hours, and by females 9,004f hours. This is fifty more than were worked the previous year. This Act is now working very smoothly, though, of course, it is necessary to be always on the alert. I laid seven charges for breaches of this Act, all of which were successful. There was only one charge laid in the Invercargill district ; the others were in Wyndham. Ten accidents were .reported and inquired into. The most serious was that of a young man who lost a finger and got his hand badly cut on a surface-planer; the others were all of a comparatively slight nature. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. This Act continues to work well. No prosecutions have been necessary to enforce its provisions. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are seven registry offices here ; they are well conducted and give no trouble. Industrial Conciliation and Aebiteation Act. The amendment to this Act of last year is calculated to cause more respect to be paid to awards, but for a time it will throw a great amount of work on Inspectors. This would be considerably lessened if breaches of agreements and awards could be taken before a Stipendiary Magistrate. As it is at present, a charge may be kept hanging for six or nine months, and in that time the witnesses may be scattered all over the colony. 1 have, &c, L. D. Beowett, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
