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, 3rd July, 1905. I have the honour to present herewith the fourteenth annual report of this Department for transmission to His Excellency the Governor, in accordance with.section 65 of " The Factories Act, 1901," and section 12 of " The Labour Department Act, 1903." The report covers the late financial year —viz., from the Ist April, 1904, to 31st March, 1905. I have, &c, Edward Tregear, The Right Hon. R. J. Seddon, Minister of Labour. Secretary.
Reviewing the position of the whole body of labour in the colony during the year just closed, it appears to be a highly satisfactory one. New Zealand has continued to expand its internal energies and augment its possessions. There has been inequality of employment in some trades if we compare them with the returns of the preceding three or four years, but on the whole the advance has been very great and well sustained. An analysis of the imports would show a general purchasing-power not only of the necessaries of life, but of its luxuries, which betokens a very flourishing condition for the average colonist if compared with his expenditure of a few years ago. This might perhaps presage a danger if the exports had not expanded in still greater degree, and if the amounts deposited in the savings-banks had not in ten years risen from £3,966,849 to £8,432,958, thus showing that the working-classes (from whose ranks most savingsbank depositors are drawn) have not forgotten to "provide for a rainy day." The continually expanding returns showing numbers of railway passengers is another indication of the easy circumstances which allow such expenditure of time and money by the families of the colonists. Of course, there are workers who are individually no more wealthy at present than before, and who depend on wages from week to week and from day to day, but the power of giving employment to such wageearners largely increased, and with it such employment was offered and accepted. Had it not been so generally we could not have quietly absorbed into our population the tens of thousands of immigrants from Australia and elsewhere who have thrown in their lot with us during the last five years, and who are still further helping to lay within the colony the foundation of a powerful nation. Analysing the employment in different skilled trades, the remark may be made that it varied greatly in different parts of the colony. The building-trades were kept busy in the North Island, particularly in Wellington, where some very fine edifices were erected. In Dunedin it remained at about the level of former years, but in Christchurch, while carpenters and painters found little employment, masons, bricklayers, and plasterers were kept very busy. This latter position is more and more accentuated every year in our larger cities, where handsome buildings in brick and stone are replacing wooden structures. The boot and shoe trades were well filled, especially during the year 1904. The business looks far more healthy than it did six years ago, although manufacturers still complain loudly of the competition caused by cheap imported goods. The furniture and upholstery trades were busy throughout 1904, but slackened with the new year. i-H. 11.

Agricultural-implement makers had a very busy year, but engineering and the iron trades generally were reported dull. Notwithstanding this, the numbers employed in the iron trades and engineering increased largely. Tailoring made little advance, but those employed had increased in numbers so greatly (see diagram at end of report) in preceding years as to supply a reason for a temporary check. There was a large increase of those engaged in dressmaking, &c. With the exception of their hosiery branches, the woollen-mills slackened considerably after the halfyear was over; the high price of wool has affected the profits of local manufacture considerably, and cheap shoddy imports are also greatly complained of. Sawmilling and the timber trades had a good year, a very large increase of numbers being apparent in these employments. Flax-milling was brisk, and a large number of hands were engaged in excess of those at work in this occupation during the previous year. Unskilled labour was in excellent demand throughout the period under review. In Christchurch the construction of electric tramways absorbed surplus labour, but the completion of similar tramways in Wellington set free a great many persons for whom work had to be provided. I may mention, in passing, that Mr. Kerwin, the constructing engineer of the Wellington electric tramways, when leaving for Europe paid a high compliment to the colonial working-men. He said on a public occasion that "before he came to New Zealand he had been made somewhat nervous by talk about advanced labour laws, and by warnings that he would find he was not driving niggers in the Southern States of the United States of America; but, having constructed tramways in the Northern and Southern States, and in Glasgow and in England, he was never better pleased in his life. A great deal of this result had to do with the dignity and pride the working-men in New Zealand possessed. Coming to this colony two months late, he finished the work six months ahead of contract time, and he could not have done this without good men, so he gave credit to New Zealand workers." In the country districts work was plentiful, and workers also; there was no pressure on either hand. In the following table will be found the annual numbers of those practically assisted by the Department to obtain employment in New Zealand. To the numbers of the bread-winners thus assisted should be added those of the persons dependent upon them, and it will be seen that the Department has in this branch of its duty been of effective service to 115,652 people.
Number of Men assisted by the Department since Institution to Date.
It will be noticed that the proportions of the unemployed have changed in character, comparatively few married men now requiring assistance. For instance, Wellington District sent away 719 single against 211 married. This is a cheering sign, as it shows that there are fewer families in need of help, and that more permanent occupation than formerly available has been obtained by married workers. It is now the floating and unstable members of the community — the single men —who mostly avail themselves of the opportunities offered by Government. Another point of interest is the greater ability shown by the officers of the Department in providing private employment for applicants. In Wellington District those sent to private work numbered 715, against 215 sent to Government works; and in Auckland 729, against 306. This shows that the Department is gaining the confidence of private employers to a great degree. At one period during the year it was for some time difficult to get the number of men required for the cooperative works of railway-construction,

Factories. The factories of New Zealand maintained the steady ratio of increase which has been the rule of late years. The value of buildings, plant, machinery, &c, was materially added to, and the numbers of those employed were also steadily augmented. The annual increment appears as follows: — Year. Factories.

There was difficulty experienced in some factories in the direction of obtaining young people to assist in the work. This is probably caused by the long period of prosperity that has been extended over the colony. People are not as anxious in good times as in bad to take their children from school and send them either into the factories or into domestic service. The overtime hours worked in the four chief centres are as follows: — Men. Hours. Women and Youths. Hours.

Among the offences against the Factories Act there was only one which demands particular notice —viz., that of an occupier who was an employer of tailoresses in Southland. This employer had for a considerable time made false entries in his books, and obtained receipts from his seamstresses and tailoresses for higher wages than he actually paid them. The Stipendiary Magistrate considered that the factory-owner had for a considerable time carried on this dishonest practice for the purpose of obtaining an advantage over more scrupulous competitors. The defendant was fined £20, and costs £4 11s. Shops and Offices Act. The Act in force during half the year continued to be well obeyed, and its provisions were observed with little friction between occupiers of shops and the officers of the Government. A far different aspect of affairs became visible when the new Shops and Offices Act of 1904 came into existence. The trouble arose over one section of the Act in particular —viz., section 3 —which directed that in the four chief centres the shops should be closed at 6 p.m. By a legislative inadvertence no exemption for certain trades had been allowed for in the Act, and it was particularly on these trades that the hardship of early closing fell. Although hundreds of small shopkeepers are inimical to compulsory early closing, it is probable that the movement against the peccant section would have lost some of its virulence had fruiterers, confectioners, &c, been exempted from early closing, as they had been from the half-holiday closing. The agitation was so widespread that great circumspection was necessary in the administration of the Act, and almost at once a test case had to be brought before a Stipendiary Magistrate relating to the validity of a combined district. Appeal was made from the decision, and the judgment of the Supreme Court had not been given during the period to which this report refers. The subject of the compulsory closing of shops is a most delicate and difficult one. It is necessary to be very certain of the ground to be covered before any arbitrary regulations for
III
h,—ii
such a purpose be made. Strong desire to make the economic conditions of shopkeepers and shop-assistants more easy and to give evening hours for recreation, mental improvement, and domestic comfort to thousands whose time is now unreasonably requisitioned should not blind us to the injustice (if it exists) of pressing with undue stringency upon the owners of small establishments struggling hard for a living. We may recognise that the ideal condition of employment is one in which every man and woman has at least the evening hours for purposes of leisure; but having, as practical persons, to take into consideration the present framework and motive power of social life, it must be acknowledged that without some fundamental and universal change these conditions cannot be obtained. It is impossible that the sailor, the engine-driver, the restaurant-keeper, the waiter, the actor, the doctor, the policeman, the night-watchman, should be made to leave off work at 6 p.m. So also it appears that in some trades latitude should be given to the hours of closing shops which are a convenience to their local public and an honest livelihood for their occupiers. While strict statutory regulation should govern the hours of all shop-assistants, it would probably be the only method approaching fairness to allow the time of closing to be settled within each trade by the shopkeepers themselves. The balance to be sought is that between a man's energy and his highest advantage. If it is considered desirable to abridge the power of the shopkeeper to keep open all night (as he does in some parts of the world), then it would be better for the shopkeepers by a majority vote to govern the hours of their trade than for the Government by statutory interference to paralyse business in certain occupations, unless it.be settled beyond all possibility of doubt that compulsory closing by Act is necessary for the health and comfort of the workers and the general public. I may add that the institution of electric trams has considerably affected suburban business, as, if outlying shops are closed at 6 p.m., the daylight trade is deflected to the large shops in the main streets, which can be reached by a penny fare, and where large choice of goods and cheap bargain-sales handicap the small trader. Housing of Wobkers. I beg again to emphasize the tenor of the remarks made by me last year in' a memorandum presented to Parliament, and entitled " High Wages and their Exploitation." The subject grows hourly to greater importance. Its bearing, particularly on organized labour, in connection with the rents demanded in cities is of a.very serious nature. In order to procure statistical data for this branch of tlie subject, circulars were sent out to workers' unions all over the colony, and sufficient response has been made to enable valuable conclusions to be arrived at (see schedule, page 99, of this report).* It may be noted that considerable difference exists between the rates of rent in cities and in rural districts, the town-dweller having a far heavier levy on his resources than the agricultural labourer or rural artisan. To counterbalance this, the town-dweller draws a higher wage, but —and I ask for special notice for this pomt —in no fair ratio; the higher wage is no real equivalent for the increased outlay. A large factor in the town-worker's expenses does not show in his direct rent-bill. While the rural worker pays less rent, he in almost every case either grows his own vegetables and fruit, or could do so if he chose, while in town the fruit and vegetables have had a considerable addition to their cost made by being sold in heavily rented shops. This is true, of course, also of other things besides fruit and vegetables. The groceries, the meat, the bread, the garments, the boots, are all heightened in price to the consumer indirectly by excessive rents, so the heavy direct rent of the worker's house is supplemented by the universal extra rent levied through his supplies. It is therefore no wonder that under this pressure of direct and indirect rent-charges the cost of living increases day by day, and the wages of the worker have less and less purchasing-power. The slight advance in workers' wages has kept, I repeat, no fair ratio with the advance of the price of the necessaries of life. Mr. Coghlan, the Government Statistician of New South Wales, affirms that wages in New Zealand increased 8J per cent, in fifteen years. As house-rent in the cities has increased at least 30 per cent., and many of the necessaries of life from 10 per cent, to 50 per cent, in that time, the reason for what employers stigmatize as "the incessant demand for higher wages" becomes not only to be understood but to be excused. If, as is sometimes alleged, the cost of house-rent had risen on account of the higher price of timber and increased wages paid in the building trades, such rise in rent would have a reasonable basis. Nine out of ten, however, of the houses (especially in Wellington) were built before
* Generally the return shows that the rents are in ratio to earnings—in Auckland, 28 per cent. ; in Wellington, 33 per cent.; in Christchurch, 25 per cent.; in Dunedin, 25 per cent.; in Gisborne, 27 per cent.; in Napier, 23 per cent.; in Wanganui, 24 per cent.; in Nelson, 26 per cent.

the time when such a plea could be advanced, and "the high price of labour at present" can hardly explain why a house should be let when it is old and rotten for £1 ss. per week which when new produced only 17s. The answer is, of course, that the present cost of labour and materials has nothing to do with the question. The high rent is demanded because persons needing houses are driven to sacrifice an undue portion of their income through the necessity of having roofs of some sort over the heads of their families. Therefore the project entertained by the Government of assisting the wage-earners by obtaining land for them, and by making advances to enable them to build their own dwellings, is hailed with delight by the workers, especially by the workers in towns. The project opens up a door of escape against the crushing system of exploitation by which the owner of private lands and private dwellings in cities and suburbs is taking an ever-increasing portion of the wages paid in industries. There can certainly be no reason why the town worker, who as a taxpayer has to share the guarantee by means of which the country settler obtains cheap money wherewith to improve his property, should not have a reciprocal duty performed for him in his turn. A scheme insuring cheap houses in the suburbs, and easy communication with industrial centres by low fares for "workmen's trains," would not only be a direct benefit to workers, but to others, by relieving the competition for town residences, and would exercise a highly desirable check on the growing rents of town dwellings, now occupied almost (through want of alternative) by compulsion. With the pressure of population removed from the centres, not only will this compulsory payment of high rents comparatively cease, but this will also probably lower the indirect rent-burden, as shops, following the workers' suburban settlement, will then not necessarily be situated in a few crowded thoroughfares; nor will the shopkeeper find that, hard as he may toil to pay his rent, the rent increases at a racing pace with the expiry of each short lease. Occupying wider spaces and healthier breeding-grounds, the cities may then have a chance to rear citizens under conditions which Dr. Mason, Chief Health Officer of the Government, declared in his last annual report to be impossible in the congested state of our present urban life. Arbitration. There is a strong and persistent feeling existing among trade-unionists that " preference to unionists" should be made statutory, and that such preference should not be of a shadowy nature. There is reason for congratulation in noting the results which have followed the appointment of Inspectors of Awards. Not only have officials of industrial unions been relieved of the very invidious duty of becoming prominent in actions against employers, but, as Inspectors grow more acquainted with general conditions and particular awards within their districts, their efficiency is increased, and the benefits accruing to workers are considerably more weighty. I may cite, as an example of this, that during the year they laid informations for 295 cases of breach of award, out of which they won 232. They also settled 312 cases without having recourse to the Arbitration Court, and in these cases were enabled to obtain £1,463 Bs. 4d. of back wages for the workers. This was considerably more than the back wages obtained in the cases brought before the Court —in the latter the fines inflicted were £529 10s., and back wages £450. Of course, it must be remembered that the Court had to adjudicate on the doubtful and difficult cases; where the employer had only been guilty of inadvertence the undisputed amount was more easily obtained through the action of the Inspector, Nevertheless, the value of the Inspectors' services in saving the time of the Court and preventing needless industrial friction is at once apparent. Among notable decisions of the Arbitration Court during the year may be specified that of the Auckland Builders and Contractors' Labourers' Industrial Union of Workers v. Arthur E. Clark (Book of Awards, Vol. v., p. 190). The information was laid against a chimney-builder for employing a workman at a rate below the minimum wage named in the award. The defence was that the employer had not been cited or served with any notice concerning the making of the award, and it was pleaded that Clark knew nothing of the existence of any award. The Court ruled that an employer who is not mentioned in the award is not bound in the award. In another case, where a similar ruling was given—Auckland Builders and Contractors' Union v. Hannan (" Awards, &c," Vol. v., page 194) —the circumstances were somewhat different, as the respondent, who is a draper, employed the workmen on erecting a building, and therefore was not an employer engaged in the building trade. The position in this respect was set right by section 2 of the amending Act of 1904. Another case of importance was that of an interpretation of the Wellington Drivers award, as to the proper mode of computing the double time allowed for working on holidays. It was ruled that 15s. is to be paid (in addition to the weekly wage) for work done on Sundays or holidays.

They plead that the eight hours from bank to bank provided for by Parliament is nullified by the provision that such hours are subject to "the provisions of any award now in force," and that until the old award can be superseded by a new one they cannot obtain the advantages conferred by Act; therefore that their being unable to obtain a new award entails great injury on them in the way of lost time. On the other hand, it is evident from the long and exhaustive statement on the subject made by the President of the Court that very careful and judicial inquiry and consideration were given before such refusal was made. (For decision at full length see Labour Journal, No. 146, 10th April, 1905, p. 264.) The question is an important one, and I beg to draw the attention of the Government to a position which is causing dissatisfaction and needs serious attention. It is proposed that all Trades and Labour Councils should be able to register as industrial associations. At present, through a technical omission, they are unable to do so; but as some were already registered under the old Act, the exclusion of others appears invidious. The departmental suggestions thought necessary for the improvement of the Arbitration Act are condensed into an amending Bill brought down by Government.
Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 10th April, 1905. I have again the pleasure to report on the general work of the Department as carried out during the year 1904-5. The correspondence shows an increase on that of last year, and, summarised, it is as follows: Letters sent out, 5,252; telegrams, 1,098; circular letters, 30, with an average of 150 copies each circular sent out; letters received, 6,400; telegrams, 1,104. Among the letters received were the usual large number asking for information about the colony, prospects of employment, rates of wages, nature of land and labour laws, &c. As showing the far-reaching effect that a few letters from successful colonists have, the following is an example: During the months of February, March, April, and May, 1900, there were something like 145 people that arrived here, having been induced to come to New Zealand by the lectures and writings of Mr. William Ranstead, who is now a settler in the Waikato. Many of these were tradesmen, such as engineers, carpenters, bricklayers, &c.; some were farm labourers, and some ordinary or general labourers. THey were all of a good class, and were determined to succeed; they have, we are assured, been the means of bringing to the colony more than a thousand persons, and they are all doing well, or, at least, as one of them said, many times better than
VI
EL—ll
ever they did in the old land, and these people keep on writing home for others, and so the circle keeps widening. One man of the original party has brought out over twenty people himself, and they are, as far as we know, all doing well. Large numbers of people arrived during the summer months from England, Canada, and the United States. Most of these succeeded in getting employment from Wellington; others were booked to different parts of the colony, and our agents were instructed to give them every assistance towards obtaining suitable employment. Several new arrivals simply turned round and went back to England, which, in my opinion, was better so, as they were totally unsuited for colonial life; having been brought up to clerical and other light employment, they had neither the physique nor the pluck to tackle something else. As to persons emigrating to New Zealand. It seems to me that some one should be at the other end, thoroughly up to date as to the sort of labour that is mostly required in New Zealand, also one who has had great and varied experience in colonial life, and who would be able to judge by examination and personal appearance as to whether the proposed emigrants would be fit persons to come here. Many of the arrivals are totally unsuitable, but, of course, these do not all go through the Home New Zealand Government Agents, therefore in many cases no check can be applied. Employment generally throughout the year has been good, and little difficulty has been experienced in finding employment for those who applied during the winter months of 1904. A block of bush was given to the Department as a means of disposing of surplus labour, but we did not avail ourselves of it to any great extent, owing to its situation which made it extremely difficult to get at, thus entailing considerable cost of transport. If something similar has to be done during 1905 it would be advisable to have it where there are reasonable means of access. Taking the period from beginning to end work has been fairly plentiful, and in the dairying season hands were very scarce. The young colonial of to-day does not seem to like the idea of going up-country, preferring the attraction of city life. During the year the Wellington office assisted to Government and private employment 211 married men and 719 single, with 710 dependants. For the whole colony we assisted 953 married and 2,177 single men, with 3,425 dependants. Factories Act. This Act continued to give general satisfaction, and very little trouble is encountered in administering its provisions. There is one thing which I would like to bring under your notice, which, in my opinion, is a most important one —viz., the desirability of amending the Act in the direction of making it compulsory , for an employer to give a girl or boy leaving his employ a certificate showing how long she or he has been in his employment. This is beginning to be found absolutely necessary in view of the requirements of section 31 of the Act of 1901, and section 3 of the Amendment Act, 1902. When a woman or young person has to be given a regular yearly increase of salary great difficulty sometimes has been experienced in tracing the various periods a worker has been employed, so as to arrive at a proper estimate as to what amount she is entitled to receive as wages. With the certificate no trouble woald ensue, as each employer would note on the certificate when he or she started to work, and the date the worker left. I trust something will be done, as the present system, or want of system, is a source of great annoyance to the Department, the employer, and the employee. The sanitary conditions of factories in New Zealand have greatly improved during the last few years, good, comfortable, well-lit, and well-ventilated premises with all conveniences required being the rule instead of, as formerly, the exception. Employers are finding it is to their own benefit to have their hands comfortably housed during working-hours. A scarcity of women workers in various lines was experienced during the year. Shops and Offices Act. At the time of writing very little can be said about this Act, excepting that its general provisions are being fairly well carried out. Section 3is at present inoperative, awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court. The Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. This Act has increased the work of the Department considerably, as owing to the amendment of 1903, and also the attitude the Court has taken against unions bringing breaches of awards before it, it has practically doubled the work of Inspectors ; but I think the change is a good one, as we, having facilities which are denied to union officials, obtain information which puts the matter in dispute in quite a different light, and leads in many cases to an amicable settlement being made, thus avoiding unnecessary and vaxatious litigation. The number of breaches of award investigated by our Inspectors throughout the colony and ultimately taken to Court totalled 295, divided among the individual districts as follows: — "r f D F e :vou, in ■"—*■ Withdraw, Auckland 39 29 7 3 Taranaki ... ... ... 4 4 0 0 Wellington ... ... ... 151 126 21 4 Canterbury ... .... ... 48 39 5 4 Otago and Southland ... ... 53 34 18 1 Totals ... ... 295 232 51 12

Vol. v. of the Book of Awards has been published, also Vol. iii. of the Decisions under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. Included in Vol. v. of the Awards is an Appendix containing for each district reference to every award and agreement in force, according to trades. This Appendix will be brought up to date as each subsequent volume is published It has been often felt that a great want to unions, when compiling rules, is the absence of some guide so as to clearly bring them into line with the requirements of the Act. To supply this need a set of model rules has been compiled, which already has proved of great assistance to secretaries and others, as the requirements of the Act are set out in plain language understandable by any one. Such model rules have saved the time of unions and likewise that of the Department. Registration of Unions.--During the year 32 unions have be:en registered, with a total of 914 members —viz., 24 unions of workers with 783 members, and eight unions of employers with 131 members. The total number of unions now on the register is 392, with a membership of 32,828, divided thus: 279 workers' unions, with 29,754 members; 113 employers' unions, with 3,074 members. During the year 32 partial and 23 complete amendments of rules have been received, revised, and registered. Sheareus' Accommodation. Thorough inspection right throughout the colony has been made of accommodation provided for shearers and rouseabouts; great improvements have been effected, and, taking it generally, the accommodation is good. The Journal of the Department of Labour is still being issued, and efforts are continually being made to bring it up to date and impart the latest information re labour, not only in this country but throughout the world. Our subscribers are also worldwide, and evidently it is appreciated as almost without exception the subscription is renewed. "Precis of the Labour Laws " : Under this title a handy little book has been compiled and issued, showing the principal requirement of all the Labour Acts now in force in New Zealand. It will be found exceedingly useful for the busy man, who, at a glance, wishes to ascertain particular points in this class of legislation. In conclusion, I may say that from personal observation during the course of my visits to the various cities and towns, also the back blocks of the colony, the only conclusion to be arrived at is one of satisfaction with the conditions of the people. This is confirmed by communication with all and sundry during the course of these visits. True, in the back blocks there have been complaints of roads unmade, &c, but these are details of administration which do not come within my sphere. I have exceptional opportunities of meeting both employers and employees, and, as my journeyings are not confined to the beaten tracks, I meet many people whose opinions are not often obtained, and the majority concur that things in general are fairly good. I have to thank'the office staff for their general desire to push the work of the Department along, and their readiness to oblige when an extra effort is required. The Inspectors throughout the colony are men who thoroughly understand their duties, which are, as is well known, of an exceedingly arduous nature. In all cases they endeavour to hold the scales of justice with an equal poise as between master and man, and, as I have said in previous reports, it is owing to their indefatigable efforts so little friction exists between the many and varied interests we have to deal with. I have, &c, J. Mackat, E. Tregear, Esq., Secretary for Labour. Chief Clerk and Deputy Chief Inspector.
REPOETS OF LOCAL INSPECTORS OF FACTORIES AND AGENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR.
AUCKLAND. Sib, — Department of Labour, Auckland, 10th April, 1905. I have the honour to forward for your information my annual report on the working of this Department for the year ending the 31st March last: — Labour. During the year 1,035 men have been assisted to work. Of these, 725 were single and 310 married, with 1,082 persons dependent upon them. Government works employed 306, and 729 were sent to private work. The number sent to private employment for this year is more than double the number sent in previous year, which is practical evidence that the efforts of the Department in this respect are more appreciated. Although during the year we had a large influx of workers from almost all parts of the world, I am pleased to report that any approach to an " unemployed " difficulty was avoided, although quite a number of the arrivals were unsuitable for hard manual labour; this renders the task of finding them employment more difficult. The very large* drop in the price of kauri-gum has caused a large number of men to leave the gumfields and seek work elsewhere,
VIII
H.—ll
In skilled labour employment was generally good. In the building trades, towards the latter end of year, it fell off somewhat, but has since considerably improved. There appeared to be a large influx of engineers, fitters, and workers in the iron trade, and, as this industry is very limited, there appears to be a surplus of this class of workers. In addition to the men sent to work, thirty-eight wives (with fifty-nine children) were assisted to join their husbands where working, fares being refunded by the husbands from their earnings. Factories. There were 1,229 factories registered, employing 10,901 hands —viz., 7,748 males and 3,153 females —an increase on last year of 62 factories and 509 employees (409 males and 100 females). Four hundred and ninety-six permits to work in factories were issued to young persons under sixteen years of age —boys, 259; girls, 237. Of the boys, 99 had passed Standard IV., 71 Standard V., and 89 Standard VI.; and of the girls 88 had passed Standard IV., 79 Standard V., and 70 Standard VI. Overtime warrants were issued to 1,574 females and 94 boys, who worked a total of 44,840 hours. Although the number who worked such overtime is greater than last year, the time worked is considerably less. As far as remuneration is now being paid for overtime, and the hours and circumstances carefully regulated, 1 do not think that it entails any hardship on workers, who, I am aware, consider otherwise, and are rather pleased to get the extra payment which it brings, and which helps to make up for any slack portion of the year. lam also of the opinion that any curtailment of this overtime would, at certain periods, be very detrimental and prohibitive to production, and a consequent loss to employers. One hundred and sixty-three accidents in factories were reported. Full inquiries were made into them, and advice tendered when required in each instance. None were fatal. The most serious were: one employer had his hand taken off at the wrist, through getting foul of the knives of a planing-machine; a girl had her arm and hand crushed between rollers of a steam mangle; and a lad had his thigh badly lacerated in cogs of a brickmaking-machine. In about twelve other cases the injuries were more or less severe, necessitating a long spell from work. All others were of a minor nature. In addition, fourteen accidents were reported as having occurred at the Government Railway Workshops, none, however, of a severe nature. Sixteen charges were preferred against six employers and convictions obtained in every case. Re the working of this Act: There cannot be said to be the slightest friction. Satisfaction is generally expressed. The usual attention to sanitation, payment of wages, regulation of hours of work, &c, has been given. Shops and Offices Act. Warrants to work overtime were issued to 219 shop-assistants, who worked 1,524 hours during the year. As the same conditions re payment for overtime and regulation of time now prevail as in factories, I consider that any evils that existed under this system are now ended. Four charges were brought against two employers, who were convicted on each charge. As the operation of section 3 has been hung up during the last few months, awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court, not much can be said as to the effect it will have on the shopkeeping class, but there is sure to be strenuous opposition to it, especially by those running small shops; it is almost certain, in my opinion, that some amendment will be required Servants' Registry Offices Act. Twenty-four registry offices were licensed during the year. In reporting on the working of this Act I would state, as I have done formerly, that I am of the opinion that it requires consideration as to whether it is effecting the benefit to workers that was intended. [am decidedly of the opinion that it does not, because, owing to keen competition, registry-office keepers do not charge employers the fees as laid down in the regulations, hence the employer may be careless as to the number of men who may pass through his hands as he is at no cost, and the more men the registryoffice keeper can send the larger the amount of fees received. Ido not say this is done, but it may tend in that direction should competition become keener. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. As predicted in a former report, this Act is now working well, without the slightest friction, and testimony has been largely borne by both employers and employees as to the beneficial conciliation and other work carried out by Inspectors of Awards. The Judge, from his position on the Arbitration Court bench, has also on more than one occasion expressed very high approval of the work done by the Department. During the year thirty-one applications were made for enforcement, and convictions and penalties were obtained in all but two cases. Since power has been given to Inspectors to act, adjustments have been made in over seventy cases, which would otherwise have been referred to the Court. . ii—H. 11.

In conclusion, I have to express sincere thanks to every person with whom my various duties have brought me in contact, and, although this embraces all sorts and conditions of men, I received nothing but the greatest courtesy and assistance, which had the effect of brightening what might otherwise have been very arduous work. I have, &c, H. Ferguson, The Chief Inspector. Inspector of Factories.
WELLINGTON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 10th April, 1905. I have the honour to report on the carrying-out of the various awards under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act for tEe Wellington District for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. Thirty-one cases investigated by me have been dealt with by the Court, resulting in twenty-eight convictions. Ninety-six complaints from secretaries of unions and others have since been investigated, out of which thirty cases have been filed, and are now waiting to be dealt with by the Court. The rest were settled without reference to the Court, resulting in the payment of £50 back wages. These cases covered a greater part of the Wellington District, and included Wellington, Palmerston North, AVoodville, Masterton, Feilding, Foxton, Carterton, Featherston, Pahiatua, and Taihape. The taking of these cases before the Court has had a very salutary effect on towns outside of Wellington, but I am sorry to say that breaches of the various awards in Wellington are still being frequently committed, and complaints of such are being daily reported. I have endeavoured to settle many cases which have not been of a serious nature (and which have not been wilfully committed) without reference to the Court, and I found that this way of dealing with these cases has, in most instances, acted as a warning to those offending, and they have strictly observed the terms of the award under which they work. I have experienced great difficulty in many cases in getting information concerning breaches which have been reported. Many employers do not keep their books in a manner showing clearly the hours worked and wages paid, and the employees, in man)' cases, will not give a correct statement of time worked or pay received, either wilfully or because the) 7 have not kept a record of same. I notice in the Sydney Drivers' award a clause is inserted requiring employees to keep a record of time worked and wages received. If a clause of this description were inserted in the various awards in this colony it would very materially assist Inspectors in detecting breaches which may be committed. Under the Wellington Drivers' award I have experienced very great difficulty in getting employers to pay their men for time occupied in going from and returning to their stables. In most cases the men do not keep a record of time so occupied, and, although they complain that this time is not being paid for, they are not able to give a record of this time, and, therefore, it is impossible to prove these cases before the Court. These men also have an erroneous idea as to the manner in which their overtime should be computed, and are in the habit of computing such time daily. For example, if a man worked ten hours in a day he would count two hours' overtime, whereas the next day he would perhaps only work six or seven hours, and at the end of the week he would not have exceeded the number of hours which constitutes a week's work. Overtime under this award can only be counted after 47Ahours per week have been worked. In the sawmilling trade the same difficulty has been experienced as last year in regard to payment for broken time. The award provides for forty-six hours per week at a daily rate of pay; this does not give six days of equal length. I have explained to employers that in such cases wages should be computed at per hour, dividing the weekly pay by 46. Employers are now doing this, and there is very little trouble. I have received many complaints re employers failing to indenture their apprentices, but T found that these breaches had been committed through neglect on the part of the employer rather than through wilfulness, and in all cases where I requested an employer to indenture a boy my request has been complied with. Yours, &c, C. E. Aldridgb, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories. Inspector of Factories.
Sib, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 10th April, 1905. I have the honour to submit, for your consideration, my report for year ending the 31st March, 1905. During the period ending on that date I visited factories and workrooms in all parts of the colony where women are employed, and, speaking generally, I found them in a satisfactory condition. I find employers willing to comply with any instructions given for alterations or improvements which will add to the comfort and convenience of their workers. Women workers generally have been kept fully employed during the year; the only trades in which there has been any slackness are the woollen trade, stock tailoring, and shirtmaking. Workers in these trades
XI
hare not really lost much time, but the trades in themselves have not been so busy as in previous years. Employers claim that this slackness of trade is due to the large amount of cheap goods which is imported into the colony. Excepting these three mentioned, other trades in which women and girls are employed have kept busy, and the full extent of the overtime allowed has been worked — in fact, in many instances much more overtime would have been worked could the Department have allowed it. The questions of the provision of dining-rooms, certificates of fitness for persons under sixteen years of age, and payment for overtime have received the strictest attention. I may mention that it it, however, much more difficult to keep the small employer up to the law than the man who is employing in a large way, and it is sometimes very difficult to know how to deal with this class. In laundry-work, for instance, we find a good many women who are themselves very poor employing a few others to whom they have to pay wages, and, as these small employers find it all they can do to make ends meet, they are tempted occasionally to try and make a little more out of their employees than is quite legitimate, and sometimes these employers are so poor that it is painful to have to compel them to compiy with the law; still, in the interests of the workers, it has to be done. Section 31 of the Factories Act still remains a very important section, and one that is generally very much appreciated. Starting with ss. per week, an annual increase of 3s. per week is considered to be a wise and just provision. It was at first feared that if this section of the Act were strictly enforced it would mean that many of our young people would be cast out of employment, but such has not been the case, for in most trades employment could be given to many more young boys and girls than can be got at the present time. In administering section 31 in regard to young persons who change about from place to place, but continue in the same trade, much difficulty is still experienced in ascertaining how long the particular person has really spent at the respective trade. 1 would, therefore, again beg to suggest that it should be made compulsory for persons affected by this section of the Act to carry with them a certificate, showing the exact time spent at the trade, and bearing the signature of each employer. An exact copy of the same to be entered in a book to be kept at this office. This would, I feel sure, greatly facilitate the work of Inspectors, and would be much more satisfactory to employers than as matters stand at present. The Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act is still proving a great boon to those workers who have organized and taken advantage of it. Working-women, however, are, lam sorry to say, slower than men in realising the benefits to be derived from organization, consequently they are unable to take advantage of the Act. Taiioresses, shirtmakers, hosiery-workers, wax-vesta makers, woollen-mill employees, and a small society of dressmakers are registered under the Act, and it has proved of great benefit to them. Servants' Registry Offices Act: This Act has worked smoothly throughout the year. I have not had any difficulty in getting office-keepers to observe its provisions. With regard to shop-assistants. A question lam often met with is, why women shop-assistants should have to work fifty-two hours per week as against forty-five worked by factory workers of the same sex, and it is a question I have no reply to, as my own opinion is that a shop-assistant who has to stand all day, very often in cold, draughty shops, requires the short hours as much us the factory workers, who are sitting in clean, well-lighted and well-ventilated workrooms. And, further, with regard to assistants who are employed in refreshment-rooms, there should be some stipulated time for starting and leaving business. As the Act stands at present, an employer can have his workers back to business at 2 o'clock in the morning if he wishes to do so. I have, &c, M. S. Hawthorne, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
g IR) — Department of Labour, Wellington, Ist April, 1905. I beg to submit for your consideration my report for the year just ended. I am pleased to be able to state that the year has been a very busy one, that in most trades in the district factories have been kept busy, and that there lias been a very satisfactory increase both in the number of factories and persons employed. The building trade has been very active during the year. The boot trade and clothing trades have been in a normal condition, furniture-makers and upholsterers have been busy, but the iron trades and engineering especially have been very dull, and there has been a considerable falling-off in the numbers of men employed in the trade. A comparative glance at the overtime returns for last year and this year will show a falling-off of over a thousand hours for men, and that is mainly in the engineering trade. It is a matter for regret that such an important industry should be falling back, nevertheless it is a fact that the trade is in a depressed condition all over the colony, and tradesmen have to seek in other channels for work. . . There are 79-1 factories registered for the year, an increase ot 49 over last year, employing 8,030 persons—viz., 5,678 males and 2,352 females, an increase of 624 males r,.nd 85 females; there is an increase in the number of boys employed under sixteen years over last year of 33, and a decrease of 1 i girls also under sixteen years of age. There is a considerable falling-off in the number of certificates of fitness issued—viz., 36 boys and 36 girls—the figures being, 1903-4, 186 boys and 195 girls: 1904-5, 150 boys and 159 girls. Of the boys, 53 passed Standard IV., 47 Standard V., 36 Standard VI., and 14 Standard VII. Of the girls, 48 passed Standard IV., 51 Standard V.,' 33 Standard VI., and 27 Standard VII.

Each case was inquired into, and where necessary steps were taken to, as far as possible, minimise the risk to workers by fencing or otherwise guarding machinery. There were sixteen prosecutions during the year, and convictions were secured and penalties inflicted in each case. " The Shops and Shop-assistants Act, 1894 " : This Act was in existence till the Bth November, when it was repealed; during that period it worked very evenly. There were four prosecutions, and a conviction and penalty was secured in each case. I; The Shops and Offices Act, 1904," came into operation on the Bth November, and considerable opposition was very shortly raised over section 3, which provided that shops wherein two or more persons were employed should close at 6 p.m. on four working-days in each week, and 9 p.m. on one day in each week. A question was raised as to whether the district boundaries were regularly gazetted, as required by the Act, and a case was brought against Mr. Tanner, of Newtown, for failing to close his shop at 6 p.m. The case was recognised as a test one, and the Stipendiary Magistrate, after hearing argument, decided against the Department; the decision is being appealed against, and the case is now before the Supreme Court. Under both Acts overtime has been worked as follows: 455 persons have worked 6,817 hours —viz., 144 male assistants have worked 2,708 hours, and 311 female assistants have worked 4,109 hours; of course, the overtime of male assistants dates only from November last. Servants' Registry Office Act: This Act is working very smoothly, and there are no complaints of abuses of its provisions; there are 17 offices registered in the district, an increase of 3 over last year. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act: This Act is working very well, and is doing a great deal of good in the district by checking and redressing abuses that would otherwise go unchallenged. It certainly entails a very considerable amount of work and worry on Inspectors, but there is the satisfaction of knowing that much benefit results to the workers, and also to fair employers. There were 55 cases for breaches of award taken before the Court during the year; in 46 convictions were secured, 7 cases were dismissed, and 2 were withdrawn, and during the year a number of cases have been settled with employers and workers without taking them before the Court. They consist of the indenturing of apprentices, preference to union men wherever required by the awards, arrears of wages, and overtime, involving a large amount. Quite a number of complaints have also been inquired into in which it was found there was not sufficient evidence to establish a breach of award. In conclusion, I have to thank all parties with whom nvy duties have brought me into contact for their courtesy and forbearance. I have, &c, James Shanaghan, Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector. Inspector of Factories.

CHRISTCHURCH. Sir, — Department oi' Labour, Christchurch, J Oth April, 1905. I have the honour to submit report of the work of this office of the Department for the year now closed. GENERAL. The experience of the year has been one of a somewhat varied character in the skilled trades and industries that come under our supervision. The engineering and iron trades have not been quite so buoyant as could be hoped for, some branches having shown a downward tendency; this applies more particularly to the engineering and boilermaking branches. The blacksmithlng, range-making, and moulding departments maintained a fairly satisfactory condition excepting during one or two very brief periods. It is difficult, however, to predict with any conlidence the future prospects of these industries. The agricultural-implement trades have had a remarkably busy year, and a considerable amount of overtime has been worked. Trade, however, has been much quieter during the last two months; this is, of course, to be expected, owing to the season, still, all hands were able to find steady employment. The building trades have been far from active, and during the year 1 have observed a great falling-ofi, especially in the building of cottages, so that carpenters, joiners, and painters have been idle at different periods of the year. Stone masons, bricklayers, and plasterers have on the whole had a busy time, this being due to the erection of several very large buildings in brick and stone in the city. During the last two months of the year carpenters, joiners, and painters made a little better time, and the outlook is much improved. The furniture trades which enjoyed such a run of good work continued very busy until about three months ago, when there was a considerable falling-ofi. In some of the factories several men were discharged, but I think the lull is only temporary, as there seems no manifest reason for this sudden declining in the trade. The boot and shoe trades, although they showed a much better tone at the beginning of the year, have not maintained the progress that was expected. There has been a greatly increased output in the lighter lines; employers still tell me, however, that they cannot compete with the imported article. Much difficulty is experienced in getting suitable girls as machinists and tablehands. The tailoring, clothing, and dressmakiug trades have had a much quieter year than for years past. In the intervals between the really busy seasons trade has been exceedingly slack, and no one in the branches named seems able to account for it; so far as I can learn it must have been due to the dullness that exists in some of the other industries. The saddlery and harness trades have remained all through the year in a most unsatisfactory condition; this is partly due to the imported saddlery, and also I believe to the introduction of motor car and 'bus, and possibly to the prospective influence of the electric-tram service. The outlook in this industry is discouraging. Laundry-work lias more than kept pace with the years that are past; this is due in a large measure to the fact that domestic servants and laundresses in private families are at a premium. The woollen-mills, which commenced the year with signs of continued prosperity, closed with a diminishing output, due, no doubt, to the increased price of wool and the large quantities of imported English shoddy goods. The number of hands has been considerably decreased; the hosiery department has remained in a fairly normal condition. Unskilled Labour. The unskilled-labour market has at no time during the year been difficult to deal with. The demand for good men of this class has been practically easy to supply. There have at some periods of the year been more single men put on to the co-operative works than for years past, because married men were not available at the time. A good percentage of the applicants were men from the other colonies. Those that we were not able to place in employment were directed to districts where employment could be found. The starting of the construction-works in connection with the new electrical tramway service employed a large number of hands; these works naturally brought a goodly number of men from other parts. There is no doubt but that the starting of these works was the means of inducing quite a number of Australians to migrate to this city. During the year 362 men, with 428 persons depending upon them, have been sent to private and co-operative employment by this section of the Department. Factories. The Factories Act: Very little friction has been experienced in carrying out the provisions of this Act, and it is without doubt fairly easy to administer, considering that is it so far-reaching in its effects. The section of the Act which provides for annual increases has perhaps given us more trouble than any other section; this has been due more to the lack of keeping proper dates when these young people started than to any disposition to evade the requirements of the law. In every instance where omissions of this nature have occurred the arrears of wages have been paid. A number of new up-to-date factory buildings with modern sanitary and ventilating provisions and fire-escapes lias been erected during the year. This year 1,181 factroies have been registered, employing 11,086 hands--viz., 7,540 males and 3,546 females. 2,074 women and young persons under sixteen years of age have worked 46,162 hours' overtime, and 627 males over sixteen years of age have worked 27,323 hours' overtime during the year.
H.-.11
Three hundred and ninety-five certificates have been issued to young persons under sixteen years of age—2o3 males and 192 females. One hundred and two accidents have been reported this year. For the year now closed there were seven convictions under this Aot. Shops and Shop-assistants Acts, and " The Shops and Offices Act, 1904." The 1894 Act and the amendments thereto being in force for eight months of the year naturally require to be touched upon in this report; under this Act there have been seven convictions and one case dismissed. The new " Shops and Offices Act, 1904," which came into force in November last year, has hardly yet had a fair trial, as, owing to section 3 being hung up awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court, much cannot be said, only that it apparently is bound to cause a great deal of opposition, especially among the smaller shopkeepers. During the year 182 males worked 2,038 hours' overtime, and 70 females 530 hours. Servants Registry Office Act. This Act has given little or no trouble; 1 believe the registry-office keepers do their best to observe the provisions of the law. No serious complaint has reached me, and there have been no prosecutions during the year. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. This Act has increased the work of Inspectors to a very considerable extent; the industrial difficulties which are constantly arising require great care and discretion in handling so as to do justice to both employer and employee; many of the awards and industrial agreements that we have to administer bristle with technicalities of the trade that sometimes are a puzzle to those who are parties to them, and occasionally to the Court itself. A very large number of alleged breaches have been investigated by myself and my assistant, Mr. W. H. Hagger, which, upon investigation, turned out to be no offence at all. Twenty-three cases came under our notice where employers had failed to pay the award rates; they satisfied the Department however that the omissions were neither intentional nor wilful, and expressed their willingness to pay up all arrears in full, which they did. Forty-one cases for breaches of awards and industrial agreements were brought before the Arbitration Court; convictions were obtained in 38 cases, 1 was withdrawn, and 2 dismissed. Seven of these cases were conducted by the Assistant Inspector, who is a very careful, and painstaking officer. There are also 30 cases of breaches awaiting the sitting of the Court of Arbitration. 1 am convinced that if due care is exercised by employers and employees in carrying out the provisions of the various awards there will be a diminishing number of cases for the Court to adjudicate upon. In closing this report I desire to express my indebtedness for the courtesy and kindliness which I have always received at the hands of both employers and employees alike during my long and close connection with them. I have, &c, John Lomas, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq, Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
DUNEDIN. Sir, — Department of Labour, Dunedin, 10th April, 1905. 1 have the honour to submit my report on the working of tKis branch of the Department for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. It is indeed pleasing to be again able to say that the period just ended has been satisfactory to employer and employee. Most factory-owners take a pride in having their workrooms kept in a manner that is a credit to themselves and a comfort to their employees. True, there are a few who wish to stand in the way of progress and improvement, but they form only a very small part. The general comfort and welfare of the worker is becoming one of the first considerations with most factory-owners. The sanitary conditions of all factories have been well attended to. True, they could be further improved; but all this will be provided for when the city drainage scheme that is at present being pushed ahead is completed. I have again to thank the Health Department for the assistance it has given me in all matters pertaining to sanitation in shops and factories. During the period there has been a very satisfactory increase in the number of factories in my district, and every prospect of a still further increase next year. The number of factories this year is 822, as against 648 last year, showing an increast of 174 for the year. The number of persons employed is 9,753 —6,698 males an 3 3,055 females. It is now plain that Dunedin has fairly recovered from the effects of the dredging business, which had such a telling effect on all business and workmen.

The engineering trade in most branches has been fairly satisfactory, and must improve year by year as the prosperity of the district demands it. The amount of overtime worked in factories has again been very large, and is as follows: 945 males over sixteen years of age worked 112,448 hours; 1,413 women and boys under sixteen years of age worked 40,144 hours. The total number of hours worked by the 2,358 persons is 152,591. During the period 496 permits have been issued to young persons to work in factories —250 boys and 246 girls. Of the boys, 74 passed the Fourth Standard, 70 the Fifth, 106 the Sixth. Of the girls, 71 passed the Fourth, 96 the Filth, and 79 the Sixth. There have been sixteen prosecutions under the Factories Act during the period. AcC£DKNTS. There have been 92 accidents reported during the period, 2 of which were fatal, 21 were serious, and 69 of a slight nature, incidental to general work in a factory. The greatest care had been taken to protect all machintry and belting, so as to minimise the risk to employees and all who have access to the machinery. In all cases where guarding was necessary and requested to be done it was attended to promptly. "Shops and Offices Act, 1904." This Act has met with a great deal of opposition. Like all other reforms it was condemned in its infancy by those who knew little of the Act itself. There are many good points in this Act, some of which ars urgently required. Other sections with a slight amendment must make it acceptable to the masses. At first fruiterers considered it would mean ruin to their business, but after a short trial found it would improve their condition, and now ask to have the half-holiday in their business. Section 3 did not at first meet with the approval of shopkeepers, but when its provisions became better understood many who were opposed to it are now in its favour, and are now seeking for the early closing of shops. With a few exemptions this clause would meet with general approval. Section 15, defining exempt shops, was much needed, and gives satisfaction. Servants' Registry Offices Act. This Act continues to work satisfactorily. The only complaints are from registry-office keepers, who complain of the difficulty in getting suitable girls to fill places vacant from time to time. A very noticeable feature is that good domestic servants will not stay long where they do not get the treatment they deserve, and the time is not far distant when mistresses will realise that they must give their servants the liberty that they, as human beings, have a right to expect. Some office-keepers have adopted a system of only charging the fees to the servant. This is done in order to get hold of business. I am therefore of opinion that the system of charging fees to persons seeking employment is not the best, and the foregoing is a proof. It often occurs that the position or situation is not worth the fee paid for securing the same. It must be admitted the employer in most cases is more able to pay the fees than the servant, and the expense of going to and returning from the situation is, in most cases, charged by the employer against the servant. It has come under my notice that when the cost of fare, (fee, has been worked out the servant is discharged, and, therefore, left without means of support or enough money to return to her home, if she is fortunate enough to have one. I, therefore, think the Act should be amended so that the party looking for work should have no fee to pay. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. This Act is acknowledged to be what was much needed both for employer and employee. It is working very well, and it has the effect of doing away with the unfair trading, and tendering for jobs at less than a fair price, thus enabling the contractor to pay for the material and for the workers' wages : but, at the same time, the Act must be administered so as not to cause friction between employer and employee. This I have endeavoured to do. There are still those who argue that this Act does away with energy and merit, and therefore leads to idleness. But most employers honestly admit that this Act has been and is a great benefit to employer and employee alike. The prosecutions under this Act have no doubt been large, but, in most cases, these steps were only taken when all others failed, and the number of prosecutions is fast decreasing, for employers are making themselves acquainted with the agreement or award by which they are bound. Unskilled Labotth. During the year just ended 239 men, with 510 depending on them, have found employment on Government and private works through this branch of the Department. There has been a shortage of employment at different periods during the year, but this was brought about by the temporary stoppage of the eleclric-tramw;iy construction and the drainage-works. On the whole work has been more plentiful than during the previous year. At times the large numbers arriving from the Old Country and the different colonies had the tendency of temporarily flooding the labour-market, but ihose who were desirous of getting employment, if they could not find it in the city, readily found what was required in the country districts. It
EL—ll
may, therefore, be said that the period just ended has been a very prosperous one, and the prospects for the ensuing year are exceedingly good. In conclusion, I have again to thank all with whom my duties have brought me into contact for the courtesy I have invariably received at their hands. I have, &c, J. B. Lindsay, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
GTSBORNE. Sir, — Department of Labour, Gisborne, 10th April, 1905. I have the honour to submit to you my annual report on the working of the various branches of the Department under my charge at Gisborne for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. "The Factories Act, 1901." During the year 107 factories have been registered, an increase of 33 on the preceding year, employing 874 males and 109 females and boys under sixteen years of age; 14 permits were granted to young persons under the age of sixteen years. During the year just ended 1,972 hours' overtime have been worked—i.e., 12 males worked 872 hours and 63 females worked 1,100 hours. Twenty-five accidents have occurred in the various factories in the district, none of which, 1 am glad to say, resulted in either fatal or permanent injury to the worker. Arbitration Act. Three industrial unions are working under the awards of the Aribtration Court in this district, and, with the exception of three prosecutions on the application of the Carpenters' Union here, no serious irregularity has come under my notice, the relations between employer and employee being cordial. Servants' Registry Offices Act. This Act has worked well during the past year; no complaints have reached .this Department, and there has been an increase of one registry office during the year. In conclusion, I may state that the whole of the various Acts — i.e., Servants' Registry Offices, Arbitration, Factories, and Shearers' Accommodation Acts —administered by this Department have worked well, and without (except in the cases of the Carpenters' Union) any recourse to the Courts for their assistance in having the provisions of the above Acts carried out. The Shops and Shop-assistants Act and Shops and Offices Act. If I may take exception to the early-closing clause ihe former Act has worked well indeed, and 15 persons have worked 56 hours' overtime under that Act. The hours of closing in Gisborne were fixed at 6 p.m. on four days of the week, 1 p.m. on Thursdays, and 9 p.m. on Saturdays by the Minister on a requisition of the majority of the shopkeepers, but since being in force, from the Ist March last, the smaller shopkeepers in the borough have again petitioned the Minister to allow them to revert to the original hours of closing —in other words, to keep open as long as they like. The district has progressed steadily during the past year, and plenty of work for all bond fide applicants at this office has been found, and labour, whether skilled or not, has found a ready market in this district. I have, <fee, L. P. BULLEN, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
NAPIER. Sir, — Department of Labour, Napier, 10th April, 1905. I have the honour to present to you my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. Factories. Employment for all classes of factory and workroom employees has been good, and the conditions under which they work are generally all that can be desired. I have been very much struck with the healthy and well-cared-for appearance of the females and boys generally. The employers appear to study the comfort and well-being of their hands. The factories and workrooms are clean, well ventilated and lighted. One or two are not quite up to date in comparison with the majority, but there is nothing to complain about from a sanitary point of view. I have had no trouble at all with employers. The cheerful way any suggestions I have made were carried out has been very gratifying.

There were 156 factories and workrooms registered, a decrease of 11 on the previous year. The smallnees of the number registered at this office is accounted for by the fact that factories and workrooms at Clive, Farndon, and Hastings are registered .-it these places. There are 20 females and 12 boys under the age of sixteen years, and 294 females and 7!)() males over that age, making a total of 1,116 male and female workers. Overtime warrants have been granted Lo 17 factories to work 100 females and boys under sixteen years of age 1,006 hours; 65 adult males have worked 5,078 hours. The last-mentioned were principally engineers. Certificates of fitness have been granted to 5 males and 10 females under sixteen years of age. "Shops and Offices Alt, 11)04." On the coming into operation of this Act the opposition shown to it by shopkeepers in the larger centres was not noticeable, to any great extent, here. Shop and office owners accepted the inevitable with a good grace, attributable, no doubt, to the good feeling existing between themselves and their employees. Overtime warrants have been granted to 10 shipowners for 57 adult males to work 1,132 Hours, and 25 females to work 80 hours. There ha? been one prosecution during the year. Labour. The year has been a good one for tradesmen of all classes. At times the supply has not been equal to the demand. Work for first-class tradesmen in the building line is still plentiful, and will be for some considerable time to come. Large and expensive buildings for freezing and othei works are being erected, while many residences are to be bulit. There is also a good prospect that the building-trade hands will find considerable employment on the lands lately thrown open for selection. Unskilled labourers that really wanted to work have also had a good year, the local men being particularly fortunate, judging by the few applications for employment that have been made to this office and the difficulty experienced m getting men for co-operative railways and road-works. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. There has been some little friction with employers affected by awards and industrial agreements. In the greater number of cases carelessness on the part of employers was the cause of breaches. Employers generally are now observing the conditions of the various awards and agreements, and I am pleased to say that many of the unions see the necessity of acting in a more conciliatory spirit towards employers than they have done hitherto, the result being that all concerned are working in harmony. There were 75 cases brought before the Court of Arbitration ; judgment was given against the respondents in 68 cases, and 7 were dismissed, with costs allowed against the Department in three of them. Skrvants' Registry Offices. There are three licensed registry offices, all of which are well conducted. In conclusion, I have again the pleasure of informing you that this district is progressing in a satisfactory manner, and that, with the completion of the roads to the lakes, springs, and other beauty-spots, not a great distance from this town, still greater progress may be expected. I have, &c, W. J. Blake, Inspector. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
DANNEVIRKE. Sir, — Police-station, Dannevirke, Bth April, 1905. I beg to submit for your information and consideration my annual report for the period anding the 31st March, 1905. Factories Act. There are 73 factories and workrooms registered this year, employing 482 males and 35 females (total 517), against 66 last year, employing 407 males and 25 females (total 432), an increase in factories, &c, of 7, males 75, females 10 (total 85). Ten permits have been issued to young persons to work in factories —9 boys and 1 girl. Two have passed Standard IV., 5 Standard V., and 3 Standard VI. Be overtime: Little overtime has been worked here. Ten women worked 40 hours' overtime under permit at dressmaking. Sawmilling is the principal industry in this district. Twenty-six sawmills were registered, employing 243 men. The latter number includes only those actually employed in the mill, and not the bushmen and others, who are more than double that number. Three accidents occurred in sawmills; all were serious. One case, right arm, right leg, left leg and thigh were broken by a tree rebounding. One case, all fingers of left hand exit off about iii-H. 11.

middle joint, caused by foot slipping and hand going forward on the saw. One case, foot severely out by foot slipping on breaking-down bench and coming into contact with breaking-down saws. lam pleased to report rhat factory matters have still continued in a satisfactory manner. 1 have received no complaints from employers, and none have reached me from employees. I, therefore, conclude there are few abuses in contravention of the law. There are a large number of workmen from the Commonwealth States, especially bushmen and sawmill hands from Tasmania, who have found work in this district, and they seem to give general satisfaction. There were no prosecutions. " Shops and Offices Act, 1904." The coming into operation of this Act did not affect the closing of the shops here; it merely defined the hours of shop-assistants and office-assistants as defined by the Ace. By a requisition of the majority of the shopowners under section 21 of the Act, published in the New Zealand Gazette, 1905, page 255, all shops in the borough are directed to be closed at 6 p.m. on four working-days of the week —Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday —as from the Ist February, 1905. By a like requisition the above gazetted notice was varied and its effect limited to all shops in the borough, except tobacconists' shops, as from the 13th March, 1905. During the time the tobacconists' shops were compulsorily closed under the first-mentioned notice, from the Ist February, 1005, till the 13th March, 1905, they complained that the hotelkeepers were cutting seriously into their business from 6 p.m. till 10 p.m. by selling cigarettes and cigars. No doubt this complaint was well founded, but, on account of the buyer being in sympathy with the seller and the short space of time they were closed, I failed to obtain direct evdience of a sale. There was some slight friction with the chemists, the difficulty being that they stock goods and commodities other than medicines and medical appliances. However, with the above exceptions, the provisions relating to early closing seem now to be appreciated by both shopovvners and assistants, without any apparent inconvenience to the general public. The legal half-holiday is Wednesday and it has been strictly observed. There were two prosecutions under the early closing gazetted requisition notice —viz., a tobacconist, for failing to close his shop as directed by the said notice. He contended he did not come under the provisions of this notice, because he employed no assistants. He was convicted and fined. A Chinese storekeeper was prosecuted for failing to close as directed in the said notice. He contended he was not a shopowner, and was exempt under the provisions of section 21 subsection (5). He was also convicted and, fined. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are three licensed registry offices in this town. No complaints have reached me from employers seeking employees, or from persons obtaining or seeking employment. All seem to be conducted in a very creditable manner. Labour. The sawmilling industry in this district continues to employ a large number of men 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. Some few of the mills are nearly cut out, but that will enable the land to be cut up, and settlement will follow. Tradesmen. Bricklayers, carpenters, blacksmiths, saddlers, cabinetmakers, engineers, tailors, Ac, have all been busy and fully employed. All unskilled labour hiis been fully employed at buslifelling, roadmaking, scrub-cutting, grass-seeding, firewood-cutting, fencing, &c, and men who are willing to work had no difficulty in finding employment. Few swagmen have been seen on the roads, and those few have been mostly elderly men. Labour, both skilled and unskilled, lias had a good prosperous year. Trade, both wholesale and retail, has again been good and sound. The town still continues to grow rapidly. Some fine brick buildings (business) have been erected, and three fine brick shops are now under construction, with every indication of still more extension. There are no unoccupied houses in the town, with a keen demand for houses. The town and district are making sound and rapid progress, as the railway returns will show, in the gross being ahead of even Napier and Wanganui. A. Cruickshank, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
NEW PLYMOUTH. Sir,— Department of Labour, New Plymouth, 12th April, 1905. I have the honour to forward my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1905, herewith. The total number of factories and workrooms registered under the Act during the year were 125, employing 482 male and 100 female hands. This is a reduction on the numbers of the previous year of 5 factories, and of 47 male and 3 female hands.

The main support of Taranaki —viz., butter- lias still maintained good prices, and the quantity sent forward still increases, notwithstanding it late and wet spring, and, as the country still continues to open up and improvements are made, the increase may reasonably be expected to continue. Trade has not, however, been so lively as could be wished. The demand for houses has more than been met, with the consequence that the building trades are very slack, with only ordinary repairs and an occasional building in course of erection. The re-erection of the Moturoa Freez-ing-works in brick was one of the principal works completed during the last year. I regret to say that a brickyard, which was started to supply local wants, has not met with that success the enterprise merited, The sewerage, drainage, improved water-supply and electric-light works which are now approaching completion, together with the general improvements in formation, levelling, and filling-up of roads and streets have given good and constant work to the unskilled labourer. The sinking for petroleum which has been in progress at Moturoa for some time past has not come up to the expectation formed, and work in that direction has been suspended. A start, however, has been made with harbour-improvements, and the work of lengthening the breakwater will be continued for some time yet, and will improve the accommodation for shipping considerably. I regret to report the occurrence of three accidents in factories during the year. One, a rather severe one, was occasioned by faulty design. 'Die other two were such as will occasionally happen where machinery is employed, even when every care and precaution is exercised. The exhibits of colonial manufactures, &c, which were on view at the Exhibition here at Christmas and New Year, were, no doubt, an object-lesson to the numerous visitors as to the variety and quality of our colonial industries, and should result in obtaining preference to the imported article. No prosecutions were initiated during the past year. Seven permits to young persons under sixteen were given during the year, but in only one instance, and that was the youngest, had the Sixth Standard been passed at school. The Shops and Offices Act. The new Act, which came into force during the year, has made but very little difference. Very few shop-assistants were found to be working longer hours than allowed during the week, and in these instances the difficulty is got over by a rearrangement of the hours. No prosecutions were initiated under this Act. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are four of these registry offices in the town now, quite sufficient, I think, for all requirements. 1 have every reason to believe that the} r give satisfaction to employer and employee. I have, &c, W. H. Haddrell, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
HAWERA. Sir,— Hawera, 31st March, 1905. I have the honour to report for your information upon the working of the Factories and Shop and Shop-assistants Acts during the past year. There were 89 factories and workrooms registered, employing 323 males and 65 females, as against 87 factories and workrooms registered the previous year, employing 297 males and 75 females. Warrants for overtime were issued to 123 males and females, who worked 246 hours. Four accidents were reported during the year, none of which were of a serious nature. Three licenses were issued under the Servants' Registry Act. Four certificates of fitness were issued to young persons under sixteen years to work in factories and workrooms. Unskilled labour has been in demand at times. The building trade is falling off, but the district is in a fairly prosperous state, dairying being in a flourishing way. Several new dairyfarms have been started recently. There have been no prosecutions, the various Acts having worked satisfactorily. I have, Ac, J. S. Bernard, Sergeant, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
WANGANUI. g JR> Wanganui, 31st March, 1905. I have the honour to submit my report for the period ending on the above date. During the year the number of factories registered amounted to 165, an increase of 2 on the previous year. The number of hands employed amounted to I,l96—males 988, females 208, showing an increase of 13 workers since last report.
XIX
ii.-ii
Overtime warrants were issued to 17 employers, to work 119 women and boys 2,037 hours. Certificates of fitness were issued to 12 boys and 16 girls. Twelve accidents were reported, two of a very serious nature, but uone fatal. There was one prosecution under the Factories Act against a Chinaman, for being the occupier of an unregistered factory, a nonsuit being entered against the Department. The Factories Act works well in the district, and it is my pleasant duty to report that friction between employers and workers is almost unknown. Machinery is well guarded, and all the conditions of the Act complied with. Shopcs and Offices Act. This Act works smoothly in Wanganui, and has made very little difference to either shopkeepers or assistants. Very little overtime is worked, as employers strain a point to do as much stocktaking as possible during the day in preference to paying the overtime rate. During the year 10 shopkeepers employed 40 assistants to work 621 hours. There was one prosecution under this Act for refusing to allow assistants the weekly half-holiday. A conviction was recorded and penalty inflicted. Servants' Registry Offices Act. Eight licenses have been issued during the period under review. The offices are all conducted in a satisfactory manner. Shearers' Accommodation Act. In this district most of the shearing is done by local hands, who return to their homes in the evening. No complaints have reached me, and I have every reason to believe that everything is satisfactory. Labour. During the summer months work in all branches was plentiful, but in the autumn between harvest and bushfelling seasons very little was doing. Men willing to go to bushfelling found steady employment right through the winter. The building trade was very quiet during the winter months, but improved considerably in the spring. Everything considered, the workers of this district have had a fairly successful year. I have, &c, W. McQuarters, Inspector. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
PALMERSTON NORTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Palmerston North, sth April, 1905. I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year ending the 31st March. Factories. I have registered 206 factories during the year, as against 165 for the previous year, an increase of 41, showing a steady growth in the business of the town. 1,052 males and 223 females were employed. Certificates of fitness to work in factories have been granted to 4 boys and 10 girls under sixteen years of age. Overtime warrants were granted to 172 persons, who worked 1,944 hours. There were two prosecutions under the Factories Act during the year —one for failing to keep an overtime-book, and a record of employees under twenty years of age; the other for not observing the half-holiday. In both cases (ines, with costs, were inflicted. Servants' Registry Offices Act. Two new offices were registered during the year, while four were cancelled. There are now six offices doing business, &nd all are conducted in a satisfactory manner. No complaints Have been received. Accidents. There were eight accidents reported during the year, none of the cases being of a very serious nature. Shearers' Accommodation. Of the forty sheds visited by me last year all but two employ less than the number of shearers requiring inspection, and, as these small sheds are worked by small farmers who live near by on their own holdings, little accommodation is required. The two larger sheds have ample accommodation. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. Thirty-seven females worked 241 hours' overtime, and 11 males worked 110 hours. The Act is working smoothly, and no difficulty has been experienced in carrying out its provisions. There have been no prosecutions for infringement of any of the provisions of the Act, while employers and employees alike appreciate the half-holiday. I have, &c, H. H. Knowles, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

Sir,- Department of Labour, Palmerston North, 15th April, 1905. I have the honour to make my annual report on labour in this district. There were 96 applications for work during the year, consisting almost entirely of strangers from other parts, who were attracted here by reports that one had only to come to Palmerston to get work at once. Consequently the place has been rushed, and a number of labourers have found themselves very badly off, and the Relieving Officer has had nis hands full. I was able to get employment for a good number, and others tried other towns. The winter is a bad period for strangers in this district, as there is little or no work for outsiders. The flax-mills, which afford employment for a great number, are generally flooded out, and have to shut down. The number assisted by the Department is 9, while 6 paid their own fare or obtained a local guarantee. I have, &c, H. H. Knowles, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
MASTERTON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Masterton, 20th April, 1905. I have the honour to submit my annual report of the working of the various labour Acts in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. I have pleasure in reporting that the business of the district lias been very good throughout the whole period, signs of progress in the borough being most marked. The building trades especially have been busy, and the indications for the future are good. The clothing trade also has been busy during a portion of the year, a considerable amount of overtime having been worked. The retail trades have been prosperous, and the district is advancing satisfactorily. Factories Act. There were 101 factories registered, employing 422 males and 74 females, a total of 496 persons, as against 90 factories, employing 402 males and 68 females, totalling 470 persons registered last year, an increase of 11 factories and 26 persons. Overtime. The overtime has been principally confined to four trades —viz., tailoring, dressmaking, printing, and baking. In the tailoring, females have worked 357 hours and males 401 hours' overtime. In the dressmaking, 17 females have worked 506 hours' overtime. In the baking trade 5 males have worked 659 hours, and in the printing trade 15 males have worked 539 hours' overtime. The total overtime for the year is: females, 863 hours- males, 1,626 hours. Permits. Seven permits were issued to young persons —viz., 4 to girls, of whom 2 had passed Standard V. and 2 Standard VI., and 3 to boys, of whom 1 had passed Standard V. and 1 Standard VII. Three acidents have been reported during the year; all were slight. The factories as a whole have been well conducted, and business has been maintained well above the standard of previous years. "Shops and Offices Act, 1904." This Act is working smoothly as its provisions become more understood. The weekly halfholiday has been well observed. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are three offices registered under this Act doing a fair business, and are all well conducted. Shearers' Accommodation Act. The various shearing-sheds in the district have been inspected, and the accomodatiori found to be of a satisfactory character. I have, &c, W. Newton, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
BLENHEIM. Sir,— Blenheim, 10th April, 1905. 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 75, which is a decrease of 4 on that of the previous year. The number of hands employed was 371, and shows a decrease of 21 : the number of females increased by 3. The diminution is accounted for by the closiug-down of two or three flax-mills.

H.—ll
Labour was well employed during the year, mostly by private employment, which was rendered brisk by an exceptionally prosperous year, and work was also provided by a number of Government undertakings, such as the improvements at Cape Campbell Lighthouse, tree-planting at Seddon, survey operations on the Flaxbourue Estate, &c. The flax industry still employs a considerable number of hands. The cutting-up of Flaxbourne for close settlement, and the establishment of the uement-works at the Elevation, near Picton, which is expected to be in full swing this year, will no doubt give a considerable impetus to the district, and be the means of employing quite a large number of hands. Gold-mining has been quiet, although it is understood one or two syndicates are represented by prospectors in the Top Valley district, and they hope to start operations in earnest shortly. The building trade has been exceptionally busy, and it has been difficult to obtain good carpenters. Both agriculturists and pastoralists have had a good year. Good grain and stock returns are recorded, and prices have been high. The dairy and poultry industries have both shown advancement, particularly the latter several poultry-farms having recently come into existence. The Marlborough Industrial Exhibition proved a great success, and it is considered that its effects will be to the permanent benefit of the districts. It has been followed by the formation of the New Zealand Egg-laying Competition Association, and the establishment of a large Poultry Exhibition in the vicinity of Blenheim. This event should have very good results as an incentive to the local poultry industry. Carpenters, bricklayers, aud plumbers have been working under an award, and it seems to have given general satisfaction. No accidents have been reported during the year, and there have been no prosecutions. Shearers' accommodation in the district generally is good, although improvements have been ordered in two or three cases, which, no doubt, will be effected before my next visit. This Act and also the Shops Act are being well observed, and appear to be giving satisfaction. I have, &c, D. Caemody, The Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
NELSON. Sih, — Department of Labour, Nelson, 11th April, 1905. 1 have the honour to submit my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. I am pleased to state that the past year has been one of prosperity throughout the district to both employers and employees. There has been an increasing demand for labour in all branches of trade; this was very marked in the building and engineering trades. Several new factories have been built during the year, and every consideration has been given to the comfort and convenience of the employees. It is witli great pleasure that lam able to state that in all cases where I have asked for improvements to be made, either in the way of protecting machinery or for improved sanitary arrangements, my suggestions have been readily given effect to, and the general provisions of the Factories Act are being well observed. During the period 202 factories were registered, employing 925 males and 218 females, an increase on the previous year of 31 factories and 90 employees. Ovektime. The amount of overtime worked during the year was as follows: 85 males over sixteen years of age worked 2,253 hours; 135 females and 2 youths under sixteen years of age worked 1,386 hours, the total being 222 persons and 3,639 hours. There are certain seasons in the year when employers cannot cope with the increased work in the factories without working overtime, as labour cannot be obtained just for the short period of the busy season. This is noticeable in the tailoring and dressmaking trades during the months of October, November, December, and then again in April and May, and also in the jam and preserving works during December, January, February, and March. Permits. Permits were i~sued during the year to 31 young persons —viz., 21 boys and 10 girls. Of the boys, 7 had passed Standard IV., 2 Standard V., and 12 Standard VI; girls, 6 passed Standard IV., 2 Standard V., 2 Standard VI. Accidents. Eight accidents were reported and inquired into. The most serious occurred to a woodworking machinist, resulting in the loss of four fingers on the right hand; none of the others were of a very serious nature —chiefly cuts or bruises received by pure accident, which it would be impossible to guard against; on an average the men were back at work in the course of twenty-one days. "Shops and Offices Act, 1904." On the coming into operation of this Act there was a slight feeling of uneasiness amongst shopkeepers, especially in the Road Board and County Council districts. I am pleased to state that this has now died out, and I do not anticipate any trouble in carrying out the provisions of the Act. As regards offices, a feeling exists amongst both employers and employees that, although the extra time worked should be limited, it should not be paid for, but taken as a set-off against holidays and other lost time for which the clerks are paid.

Servants' Registry Offices. There is only one office in the district, and it is well conducted. Shearers' Accommodation Act. There are 5 shearing-sheds in the district, an increase on last year of 2 sheds. The accommodation in all cases was satisfactory, being well ventilated, clean, and ample room provided. In a few sheds improvements were being made in order to admit of machine shearing. General Labour. During the year 80 men have been assisted to work —32 married, with 105 dependent upon them, and 4-8 single. There has been a steady increase in the number of men coming into the district, and it speaks well for the prosperity of the place that the majority of these men found good employment in the country districts; there is, however, a number of men who do not care to go into the country, and, as the openings for general labourers in the city are limited, these find more difficulty in obtaining work. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. I now find very little difficulty in seeing the provisions of the various awards under this Act carried out. Employers and employees having now recognised the fact that the terms of awards must be carried out, they are therefore now working in harmony one with the other. In cases where any doubt exists as to the meaning of the award both parties ask for advice from the Department, and are guided thereby, and, so far, I have had no reason for prosecution. In closing my report, I beg to state that employers and employees alike have shown me every courtesy in the execution of my duty, and I likewise have to thank the officers of other Departments with which my duty has brought me into contact, especially the officers of the Health and Public Works Departments, for information and assistance given from time to time. I have, &c, S. Ttson, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
GEEYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Greymouth, 10th April, 1905. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the working of the various Acts in connection with the Department in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. I am pleased to state that the period under review has been one of advancement and prosperity, notwithstanding the depressing effects of the exceptionally wet season that prevailed during the last half of last year. Our staple industries are steadily expanding, and exports are rapidly increasing. The Factories Act. The Act is working well, and giving greater satisfaction to employers and employees as they become more conversant with its provisions. It has been well observed, and occupiers have shown an earnest desire to comply with all requisitions found necessary to improve the condition of their establishments, consequently no prosecutions took place. During the year there were 117 factories registered, an increase of 17 over last year, employing 740 persons—namely, 597 males and 14-3 females, an increase of 134 persons over the previous year. Permits. For the year 18 permits were issued for young persons —12 boys and 6 girls. Of the boys, 3 passed the Fourth Standard, 5 passed the Fifth, and 4 the Sixth. Of the girls, 2 passed the Fourth, 2 the Fifth, and 2 the Sixth Standards. Overtime. Overtime warrants were issued for 51 males over sixteen years of age, who worked 1,906 hours, and for 40 women and boys, who worked 2,085 hours. Total number of hours worked by all hands is 3,991. The following table shows the trades in which overtime was worked: — , Males. v , Females. , Number. Hours. Number. Hours.

H.—ll
There has beeu a considerable reduction in the amount of overtime worked this year as compared with last year —notably, in the engineering and tailoring trades. In the former the decrease may be accounted for by a slackness of trade, whilst in the latter it is chief!}' owing to the increased number of hands employed during the ordinary working hours. Accidents. Of the few accidents reported as having occurred in factories none were very serious. Sanitation. In some factories and shops the sanitary arrangements are perfect, but in others, principally in the smaller premises, they are very defective. There should be some means of compelling factory-owners and shopkeepers to adopt the latest improvements in water-closet appliances where a high-pressure water-service is available. With respect to old insanitary tenements it is hoped something will be done in the way of improvements or new buildings before the end of the next year. Shops and Offices Act. This new Act, which came into force in November, 1904, has been the subject of a good deal of comment and adverse criticism. Nevertheless, the most captious of critics must admit that, with all its alleged imperfections, it is a great improvement on the old Shops and Shop-assistants Act, and, like all new machinery, cannot be expected to work with perfect smoothness at first. With one or two amendments and given a fair trial the present friction will soon disappear, when it will, I think, be found to give satisfaction to both employer and employee. Overtime. Overtime warrants to work were issued for 19 persons —11 males, who worked 106 hours, and 8 females, who worked 52 hours; total hours worked, 158. follows : — Prosecutions. There were 10 prosecutions for failing to close shop on the statutory closing-day. There were 8 convictions and 2 dismissals. These convictions have had a good effect, and, for the time, have completely prevented the sale of goods during prohibited hours. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are no offices under this Act in Greymouth, which is a matter of surprise in a town of its size and importance. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. There has been no business transacted under this Act by this branch of the Department during the year just ended. Labour. The general conditions of labour in this district have been fairly satisfactory. As compared with last year there has been a slight decrease in the number of persons seeking employment, and, notwithstanding the large influx of population from the Australian States, there has been no visible display of the unemployed element, the new arrivals grachially becoming absorbed among our own people, and generally they prove themselves to be good citizens. One of the worst features noticeable about the employment of unskilled labour by the Government is the large number of single young men depending oct the Public Works for a living. In my opinion, the jounger generation lack the energy and independence of their forefathers. There were 139 persons sent to the various co-operative works during the year, having 353 dependents, while many others were assisted by the Department in finding private employment. Looked at from various points of view, it can safely be said the year has been a fairly prosperous one for the unskilled worker. Exports. The exports of timber and minerals from the Port of Greymouth for the year ending the 3lst March, 1905, were as follows: Timber, 21,763,934 ft. ; sleepers, 95,529; coal, 216,815 tons; coke, 1,864 tons; bricks, 1,465 tons. These figures show a substantial increase on those of last year in every product but sleepers. Shipping. The number and tonnage of vessels entering and leaving the port for the year ending the 31st December, 1904, were as follows: — Number. Tons. Steamers . . ... ... ... ... 593 226,506 Sailing-vessels ... ... ... ... ... 28 4,751 Total ... ... ... ... 621 231,257 In conclusion, I have to acknowledge the courtesy and consideration shown to me by every one whilst performing my duties. I have, &c, James Isdell, Inspector of Factories, Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

HOKITIKA. Sib,— Police-station, Hokitika, 10th April, 1905. I have the honour to forward my annual report for year ending the 31st March, 1905. The various Acts relating to factories, shops and offices, &c, are well observed. The employers appear quite as willing to carry out the provisions of the law as the employees, and, judging from the fact that very few employees leave for employment elsewhere, it would appear that they are quite satisfied and content. I have had no complaints. Thirty-nine factories were registered last year, giving employment to 202 hands. The district has maintained a steady, if quiet, prosperity. A few small boats are now making regular periodical trips with timber, and have established quite a respectable trade. If the entrance to the river could be deepened to admit large vessels the trade would soon be multilpied a hundredfold. The land in this part of the colony, which at one time was regarded as of very little value, is now being sought after eagerly. It is found that if not suitable for wheat yet it is suitable in every way for dairy-farming, cattle-grazing, and growing root-crops, and in this respect is equal to land in other parts of the colony for which very large prices have been paid. The butter factory at the Kokatahi, about twelve miles from Hokitika by a good road, is increasing its output every year of the best factory-butter, and thus retains in the district a large sum of money that was formerly sent away for the imported article. As a natural result, the value of land has increased considerably in this locality. There is now a movement among the farmers in the Arahura Valley also to have a dairy factory. I am not sure that it is quite within my province to make suggestions in my report, but, as it may have the effect of calling attention to a good payable industry that could be carried on in this district, I give that ns my reason for doing so. It has been for some time a matter of surprise that a bacon-curing factory has not been established on the West Coast. The climate is cool and fit in every respect for pig-growing and bacon-curing, and there is a ready and convenient market for its disposal throughout the Coast. At present all the bacon consumed on the Coast is imported, whereas with such suitable surroundings as we possess it should be one of our exports instead of imports, and it would thus become not only, as in the case of the butter-factory, a means of retaining money in the district, but also of bringing outside money into it. I have full confidence that such an industry could be successfully established and maintained on the Coast. I have, &c, Wμ. Folley, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
RANGIORA. Annual Report on Working op Various Acts. Department of Labour, Rangiora, 11th April, 1905. I respectfully report that there are 75 factories in this district, employing 340 hands —viz., 298 men and boys and 42 women and girls. Very little overtime has been worked during the year, 111 hours being the full amount of overtime worked, and that has been between tailoring, dressmaking, and laundrywork. The Act seems to be working very well in this district. On an average I visit all factories once a month, and by doing so I keep well in touch with the workers. In the winter months I find it rather difficult to visit so often, as some of the factories are ten miles from Rangiora, and the roads not fit for bicycle-riding. I further state that I should like to see threshing-machines put under the Factories Act; they seem to me to be factories just as much as sawmills, only they move about from place to place. Be the working of the Shops and Offices Act: It seems to be working fairly well. Some time after the new Act came into force things seemed to be rather mixed, but that difficulty has now been got over, and everything is getting along fairly well. There are now no servants' registry offices in this district. T. A. Evenden.
ASHBURTON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Ashburton, 31st March, 1905. I have the honour to forward my annual report for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. Factories. During the year there were 118 factories registered, an increase of 20 on the previous year, employing 687 males and 170 females. Trade, on the whole, has been very good, although the unseasonable weather in the spring was rather hard on some of the shopkeepers, who found they had some difficulty in getting rid of their summer goods. The building trade has been and still continues brisk, and I know of few local men losing much time, except from bad weather. The woollen-works have been well employed, have been working night shifts and also overtime, so as to cope with orders. The freezing-works have also been fairly well employed, considering that it is a business that fluctuates a good deal. IV—H. 11.
H.—ll
There have been only three slight accidents during the year. One young man at the woollenmills got slightly scalded in the dye-house; one boy had his finger hurt by a tin-cutting machine — both these were very slight. The other was an accident to an employer, whose two fingers were lacerated by a saw. Shops and Shop-assistants Act. I am happy to say that I find but little difficulty now in carrying out my duties in this department as the shopkeepers give me little trouble in regard to closing, especially on the statutory halfholiday. Servants' Registry Offices. There are three offices registered, all in the hands of competent people; they are very well conducted, and I have no complaints. Sanitation. In my last report I stated that for certain reasons I found that this part of my duties was a very difficult matter and required constant supervision, and I cannot say even now that things are as satisfactory as I should like to see them, but trust I shall get them all into line shortly. Permits to Young Persons. Certificates have been issued to 15 females and 6 males. Overtime Permits. Permits have been issued to 99 persons during the period, who have worked 4,101 hours. Trade on the whole has been fairly good during the last year, but not up to the expectation of some of the shopkeepers, who give two or three reasons for this —viz., (1) the keen competition from large firms from Christchurch, who send out vans all round the country; (2) the Farmers' Co-operative Association, who, as I mentioned in my former report, have launched out very extensively in the town. Laboxte. I have had a few applications from men from outside the district, who make a practice of coming here just before shearing, and stop over the harvest; local men have been well employed. Shearers' Accommodation. My annual visit to the bheds in this district disclosed a very satisfactory state of affairs, the sheds being in good order and accommodation good. In conclusion, I have to acknowledge the (with one or two exceptions) uniform courtesy and consideration shown me in carrying out my various duties. I have, &c, R. S. Bean, E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
TIMARU. Sir, — Department of Labour, Timaru, 31st March, 1905. I have the honour to submit for your information my annual report for the year now terminated. Factories. I am pleased to say the period under review has been one of general satisfaction to employers and employees alike. Factory-owners give much more attention to the general arrangements connected with their workrooms than was customary years ago. Little or no difficulty is now experienced in providing for their employees in such matters as sanitary arrangements and cleanliness, and, as the local Borough Council intend at an early date to go in for a drainage scheme. lam looking forward to still better results. The new factories that have come into existence during the period are a very great improvement on the old idea that almost any place was good enough for a workroom. lam also pleased to see that employees are evidently enjoying and appreciating the improvements, and are doing their best to keep their rooms clean and tidy. During the year there were 183 factories registered, an increase of 13 on last year. The number of persons employed is 1,372 —viz., 1,098 males and 274 females. Overtime. Sixty-one women and young persons under sixteen years of age have worked 806 hours overtime, and 335 males over sixteen years 18,152 hours; total overtime, 18,938 hours. These figures appear large, but the great bulk of it was done at the two freezing-works, as when shipping frozen meat they have to work night and day, so as not to detain the Home steamers longer than necessary. I may here mention that during the year the frozen meat and wool shipped from this port was as follows, viz: wool, 127,385 bales; frozen mutton, 559,902 carcases; poultry, 635 cases: total tons exported, comprising all kinds of produce (exclusive of wool and frozen mutton), was 81,196 tons.
During the year 46 certificates have been issued to young persons under sixteen years of age — viz., 34 males and 12 females,
XXVI
H.—ll
Accidents . During the year there have been twelve accidents reported, but I am pleased to say only one proved servious—that to a young carter who, while crossing the railway-line, got caught by an engine, and eventually had to have one foot amputated. The remainder were of a slight nature. " The Shops and Offices Act, 1904." So far I have not found much difficulty in working this new Act since it came into force. There are certainly a few anomalies in regard to office-assistants which require amending, and probably defining, but, on the whole, it is a great improvement on the old Act. Servants' Registry Offices. There are four licensed offices in this town, and all are well conducted. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. This Act is working as well as can be expected, and, as time goes on and people get educated up to it, I have great hopes of it in the future. At the same time, it requires a great amount of care, tact, and attention by the Inspector, but, as far as I can judge, its benefits are very great to employer and employee. I have been able to settle amicably several cases privately, which otherwise must have taken up a considerable amount of the Arbitration Court's time. Labour. During the year the unskilled-labour market has been a comparatively easy matter to cope with, although owing to the shortage of sheep for freezing purposes the two local works closed down much earlier than usual this season, yet the labour-market did not get congested. The building trade in all its different branches has been exceptionally busy, and, from information collected from reliable sources, I can safely predict another prosperous year in all branches of the trade for South Canterbury. Domestic servants, ploughmen, and milkers are still very scarce. I have, &c, P. Keddib, Inspector of Factories. Edward Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
OAMARU. Sir, — Department of Labour, Oamaru, 11th April, 1905. I have the honour to submit for your information my annual report upon the working of the various Acts under my supervision in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. Factories. Seventy factories and workrooms have been registered during the year in good and wellventilated buildings, in which were employed 377 males and 195 females. I have at intervals visited the places and found the rooms clean and well kept, and in only a few instances have I had any cause to complain. The Oamaru Woollen-factory has during the last twelve months added considerably to their premises by erecting a large stone building for making worsted cloth, all the machinery for which has been imported. The employees in this establishment speak very highly of the management and seem well satisfied. The Act is working well here, and its provisions are admired by both employers and employees. In two dressmaking-rooms it was discovered that the girls were not paid the wages as laid down in the Act, but the defect has been made good in both cases, the back wages having been paid to the persons entitled to it. There have been no accidents during the year. Servants' Registry Offices. This Act is working satisfactorily. I issued four certificates during the period and have had no complaints. Shops and Offices. I have little to report on the working of this Act, which is now fairly well understood and its provisions well carried out. The half-holiday, Thursday, is well observed. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. This Act is working well in Oamaru. As Inspector of Awards I have had no complaints, and found that all persons working under awards are well versed in the law. Shearing-sheds. I have inspected shearing-sheds and found the law complied with in every instance. Labour. The past year in this district has been very good, labourers finding employment without much difficulty, and' at good wages, which, in almost all cases, for ordinary workers is not less than Bs.

About thirty new houses have been erected in the town for the last year. I have, &c, Thomas O'Geady, E. Tregear, Esq., Secretary for Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Factories.
INVERCARGILL. fc>iß> — Department of Labour, luvercargill, 11th April, 1905. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1905. Gbnebal. It is my pleasing duty to have to report another prosperous year, not only for the workers but for the community generally. In reviewing the past year it is impossible to get away from the fact that very substantial progress has been made in nearly every part of Southland. Trade has been well maintained, and during the greater part of the year employment has been plentiful indeed, during the summer months it was often impossible to get men, although many were constantly arriving from Australia. At no part of the year has it been necessary to put men on io co-operative works —in fact, I have not put a man on Government works for relief purposes for over two years. Private employers have availed themselves of the opportunity of getting men from this office more than in previous years. The building trade has been very brisk, especially in Invercargill, Gore, and Bluff, and there is every appearance of it continuing so for some time to come. At present there is a considerable number of large brick buildings in course of erection, and I understand that contracts have been let for several others. A large brick warehouse is to be pulled down to make room for an entrance to an arcade, which is to run from Esk Street to Tay Street —that means, of course, that a large amount of building is contemplated. Many first-class dwellinghouses have been erected, and there are many others still in course of erection, and yet people looking for a house have considerable difficulty in finding one. The iron trade has been busy, and both the number of hands employed and the amount of overtime worked show an increase on last year's returns. Plumbers and tinsmiths have had a busy year, and there is an increase in the number of hands employed. This, of course, is due to the activity in the building, trade. The boot trade has been very steady ; there has been practically no lost time through slackness of trade, and there has been very little overtime. The clothing trade has been busy, though owing to the late season there was not so much overtime worked by either dressmakers or tailoresses as in the previous year. Still, a good number of them worked the full amount allowed by law. The flax-milling industry has made very rapid progress. The number of mills has increased and the output of dressed fibre has also increased, but I am afraid this state of things cannot continue much longer as the flax is getting scarce, and, as the mills cut out their area of flax, it is becoming very difficult to find another payable site on which to place the mill. The Factories Act. There are 254 factories and workrooms registered here, employing 1,955 persons—viz., 1,572 males and 383 females. All these figures show an increase on last year's returns. Eleven accidents were reported and inquired into. One was fatal. This occurred in a sawmill; a piece of timber fell on the back of the saw, and was hurled back at the benchman with such force that it broke his jaw and fractured his skull. He died a few hours afterwards. Four were serious—one young man lost his hand in a flax-scutcher, two lost a finger each in the pinions of flax-strippers, and one lost an eye in a foundry. The other six were comparatively slight. The fatal accident and three of those classed as serious occurred in mills registered in the country districts, as did also one of the slight ones, though in no case could the machinery be classed as dangerous; however, in order to prevent accidents as far as possible, I now insist on all pinions being guarded. Permits under section 26 were issued to 21 boys and 17 girls. The amount of overtime worked by males was 11,756 J hours, and by females 7,821 \ hours. This Act works very smoothly and there is not much difficulty in enforcing its provisions. I had one prosecution. Two charges were laid for making false entries in wage-book. It was a very bad case, and the full penalty, £20 and costs, was imposed on one charge; on the other the defendant was convicted and discharged. Shops and Offices Act. Up to the present I have had very little trouble in enforcing the main provisions of this Act. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are seven registry offices here. They are well conducted and give very little trouble.
H.—ll
Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. 1 laid 9 charges under this Act against 7 persons, and obtained a conviction on each charge, and back wages were allowed in 4 cases. I have now 8 charges waiting to be heard. Generally speaking, the provisions of the Act and awards under the Act are well observed. I have, &c, L. D. Browbtt, Inspector of Factories. E. Tregear, Esq., Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.
Reports have also been received from Inspectors of Factories at Akaroa, Alexandra South, Amberley, Aratapu, Arrowtown, Brunnerton, Carterton, Cambridge, Cheviot, Clive, Clinton, Coalgate, Collingwood, Cromwell, Culverden, Dargaville, Denniston, Fairlie, Featherston, Greytown North, Hampden, Hamilton, Havelock, Hawkesbury, Hikurangi, Hokianga, Hunterville, Huntly, Inglewood, Kaikoura, Kaitangata, Kawhia, Karangahake, Kihikihi, Kumara, Leeston, Lumsden, Levin, Marton, Mangaweka, Manaia, Malvern-Annat, Martinborough, Mercer, Methven, Middlemarch, Milton, Mosgiel, Naseby, Ngapara, Owaka, Opotiki, Otahuhu, Otautau, Ormondville, Otaki, Orepuki, Ongarue, Otorohanga, Palmerston South, Paeroa, Pahiatua, Patea, Papakura, Pembroke, Pleasant Point, Pahi, Porongahau, Queenstown, Riverton, Raetihi, Rakaia, Rotorua, St. Bathan's, Southbridge, Tauranga, Takaka, Te Aroha, Te Awamutu, Tenui, Tologa Bay, Te Puke, Te Karaka, Upper Hutt, Waipawa, Waipu, Waipukurau, Waitara, Wairoa, Waikaia, Waitahuna, Whangarei, Woodville, Wyndham, Whakatane, Westport, Winton. These reports show that as a whole the Labour Acts are working satisfactorily in the various districts, and that employment has been fairly plentiful.

August, 1904. Auckland.—(Factories Act) : Frederick Webley, tailor, was fined £3 and £5 11s. costs for failing to allow the Saturday half-holiday. The defence was that the employees were "partners" in the business. The following is a report of the proceedings in the Court: — Mr. Mays, representing the Crown Solicitor, proceeded to explain the circumstances, which, he said, were "very curious indeed." When the Inspector of Factories, Mr. H. Ferguson, visited the defendant's premises on 25th June, he found three of his employees working there at half-past 2in the afternoon, when they should have been away. He warned the defendant and went away, but when he returned at 4 o'clock he found them still there. The Inspector repeated his visits on 2nd July, and then the defendant told him that the women there were not his " employees," but his " partners," and that he (the Inspector) could not therefore compel him to dismiss them at 1 o'clock, as required by the Act. Webley refused to obey the directions given, putting the Inspector to a lot of trouble, and, besides that, the defendant was very impudent to him. As soon as the summons was issued it was found that the deed of partnership " would not hold water." The fact of the matter was that it was simply drawn up to evade the law. Their interest was so small that they could not earn by " profits " nearly as much as when they were paid overtime for their work. "It was a distinct and "deliberate attempt to evade the law," said Mr. Mays, " and it has been carried on for some considerable time past. Owing to the statement that he was going to set up a defence of ' deed of partnership,' the Department, to meet it, had been put to a great deal of expense, and for that reason applied for extra costs. The deed of partnership was most ingeniously drawn up." The defendant declared that he was not impudent to the Inspector, and said that in drawing up the deed of " partnership "he did not intend doing wrong. His reason for doing so was so that his work might be done better, and so it was. He had no intention whatever of evading the law. " Is that why you pleaded guilty ? " asked the Magistrate. " I pleaded guilty on the advice of counsel," said the defendant. The Magistrate pointed out that under the section the defendant was liable to a fine of £10 upon each information. He then imposed penalties of 10s. and costs upon each of the six charges, and allowed £3 3s. as solicitor's fee. The fines amounted to £3, and the total costs to £5 11s. Wellington. —(Factories Act) : Miss M. Barlow, dressmaker, was fined £1, with 7s. costs, for failing to grant half-holiday on Saturday. Davies and Sons, bakers, were fined £1, with 7s. costs, for failing to keep books. John M. Walter, laundryman, was fined 205., 10s., and 10s., with 235. costs, for employing women at overtime without permit, for failing to keep and produce overtime-record, and for failing to pay for overtime-work done. (Shops Act) : Thomas Brierley, baker, was fined 205., with 7s. costs, for delivering goods on the half-holiday. Nelson. —(Shops Act) : J. P. Black and Son, drapers, were charged with failing to close shop on the half-holiday. It was proved that this firm had sold the business, and the Magistrate dismissed the case, but without costs. Christchurch (Shops Act) : G. E. Fail and Fred. W. Collins were fined £1 and 7s. costs each for failing to grant the half-holiday to assistants. Temuka. —(Factories Act) : Miss J. W. Robertson, dressmaker, was fined 55., with £1 Bs. costs, for failing to register factory. J. Tangney, bootmaker, and Frederick Collier, brickmaker, were also charged with failing to register. In first case Magistrate held that the employee was the sole occupier, and dismissed the case ; in the other case it was explained that the factory had been closed down— also dismissed. September, 1904. Wellington.— (Shops Act) : G-. Christensen, hairdresser, &c, was charged with employing a youth under eighteen years for more than nine hours and a half on more than one day in a week. Defence was that an industrial agreement provided for longer hours than the Shops Act; but the Magistrate ruled that an industrial agreement could not overrule the Act, and it was pointed out further that defendant was not a party to the agreement. Under the circumstances, defendant was convicted without costs or penalty. Christchurch. —(Shops Act) : Charles Sycamore, grocer, and William Thomson, baker, were each fined £1, with 7s. costs, for failing to give assistants the weekly half-holiday. Timaru. —(Factories Act) : The Mayor and Corporation were charged, as a test case, with failing to register the Timaru Abattoir under the Act. Magistrate dismissed the case, considering that as abattoirs are already registered under the Slaughtering Act, the Legislature would have made provision in the Factories Act for the further registration if it was necessary to regulate the hours of labour and other matters in abattoirs. Notice of appeal given. Dunedin. —(Factories Act) : W. A. Smith, Taupo Explosives Factory, was fined 55., with 7s. costs, for failing to report accident. (Shops Act) : Henry Woodger, tobacconist, was fined £1, with 7s. costs, for failing to close shop on the weekly half-holiday. Annie Smith, florist, &c, was also charged with failing to close shop. For the defence, it was argued that as fruiterers, who are exempt from closing,
13
H.—ll
may sell flowers as part of their ordinary business, florists that sell fruit ought to be likewise at liberty to keep open. Magistrate ruled that defendant was not a fruiterer, and therefore a breach was committed in not closing. Fine 2s. 6d., without costs. Invercargill. —(Factories Act) : John W.
