BEPOBT, The Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister op Labour. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 30th May, 1913. 1 have the honour to present herewith the twenty-second annual report of this Department for transmission to His Excellency the Governor, in accordance with section 68 of the Factories Act, 1908, and section 12 of the Labour Department and Labour Day Act, 1908. The report covers the late financial year —viz., from, the Ist April, 1912, to the 31st March, 1913. I have, &c, J. Lomas, The Hon. the Minister of Labour. Secretary of Labour. The year just closed was a normal one from an industrial point of view. The first three months of the departmental year —viz., April, May, and June, 1912—gave promise of great activity in most manufacturing concerns, but after the end of June a falling-off was experienced in some trades, and although there was no undue slackness of work the call for more adult male workers was not insistent. The building trades were fairly busy right through the year, and competent hands lost no time whatever on account of slackness. In some branches of the trade there was an unsatisfied demand for men, especially for plasterers and bricklayers. Plumbers and painters had a very fair run of work, and the furniture-trade workers were also fully employed. Towards the latter end of the year (February and March) there were signs of slackness in the furniture trade (especially at Auckland), and a few men were reported out of work. The engineering trade had a steady run for about ten months, but in the last two months some hands were discharged- - generally unskilled workers-—owing to slackness of trade. As to unskilled workers generally the position was at no time acute, although during last winter the number of such applicants in the cities exceeded the demand for their services. The employment of unskilled workers is generally very intermittent during the winter season, especially for those who cannot, or will not, leave the towns. A very large number of men willing to take up country work was assisted by the Department, and this materially reduced the hardship on those remaining behind. A special and exhaustive inquiry was made by an officer of the Department into the extent of labour shortages in manufacturing industries. As you arc aware, employers had represented both to the Government and the Department that their operations were severely handicapped owing to the dearth of all classes of labour. Whilst the Department was aware, in a general way, of the conditions ruling, it was deemed advisable to get reliable data on the matter, and with this end in view Mr. J. W. Collins, of the Head Office, was deputed to investigate the matter and report on definite lines. In carrying out this quest practically all the leading manufacturers concerned in the Dominion were interviewed, and the summary of the reports on each of the manufacturing trades in the Dominion has already been sent to you. I consider the information collected will be of very great service to the Department and to the Government. The work was done in a thorough and systematic way, and showed not only where labour shortages existed, but the classes of hands required, rate of wages offered, and hours of employment. The report also dealt with the number of machines idle for lack of hands, and showed what attempts had been made by employers to remedy the shortages by advertisement and otherwise. Special attention was given to intermittent seasonal trades, and generally to those trades showing prospects of giving increasing employment as against those which are stationary or likely to fall off. The report will prove specially valuable as indicating the direction in which the Department might look for possible vacancies to place both men and women who apply to the Department for employment. It should be emphasized, however, that the report purports to be a statement of the shortages of labour existing at a definite period only, and it is probable that variations may occur from time to time in the supply of and demand for such labour. The representatives of the workers' unions throughout the Dominion were also invited to place their views before the Government in those trades where shortages of labour were alleged to exist.

Now that the ground has been so thoroughly covered, it would be wise, I suggest, to make a somewhat similar inquiry at regular intervals —say, at intervals of two years —to ascertain if the shortages still obtain. It is only by keeping in close and constant touch with manufacturers that the true state of affairs can be gauged. In respect to the work of the Department's employment branches, the following have received practical assistance since the Department's formation : —
The total number of men assisted by the Department during the year shows an increase over 1911-12; in that year 5,735 were assisted or sent to employment, as against 5,848 in 1912-13 (increase 113). Of the number assisted in 1912-13, 1,639 were married and 4,209 were single men and widowers. Of the total, 3,705 were sent to or given assistance to private employment, and 2,143 were sent to Government works. During the early spring and summer a steady demand set in for farm workers. The demand continued right up to the end of the year under review. The number of hands required was not available, and the Department found the utmost difficulty in getting labour for farmers, especially for the dairy-farmers in the Taranaki District. A distinct shortage of men was experienced also in the cheese-factories, the vacancies took some time to fill. A total of 719 farm hands was assisted to employment by the Department. The great majority of these hailed from overseas, and, beyond having a physical capacity and desire for such work, were not specially experienced or trained, in farm-work. Farmers find the immigrants, as a general rule, to be adaptable and capable, and those possessing a real desire to learn the work turn out very satisfactory workmen. There is one feature in regard to the assistance afforded to men by the Department which is deserving of special mention. The sum of £2,100 was voted by Parliament last year for the purpose of assisting men by means of advancing their fares to both Government and private employment. Of this vote £1,921 was expended, and £1,842 has been recovered from the men, representing 96 per cent, of the amount advanced. In the previous year the percentage was 946. The result for 1912-13 constitutes a record, and lam doubtful whether any other Labour Department can show such a result. FACTORIES ACT. In last year's report it was stated that a separate appendix to the report embodying a new system of industrial statistics was under preparation. So far as each district is concerned this appendix was duly completed and issued early this year as Table I, and attached to this year's report will be a further appendix showing the result (for the same year) as for the whole of New Zealand (Tables II and III). Table II will show the results divided into the various industries (for example, the workers engaged in, say, the meat-freezing industry generally throughout New

Zealand), while Table 111 will show the results divided into the trades upon which the workers were engaged, whether in the same industries or not (for example, the whole of the engine-drivers employed in New Zealand). While in past years the Department has been enabled to publish figures relating to a certain day in each year only, in these appendices employment in the whole of the trades has been covered for the full twelve months, and by this means important data has been obtained as to the duration of employment. The wages are shown separately for each industry and trade according to age and sex. Further tables arising out of these returns will probably be published during the current year. Dealing with the number of factories registered and the employees engaged therein during the year ending the 31st March, 1913, it is cause for satisfaction to note that there have been undoubted signs of healthy development. As compared with the year ending 31st March, 1912, there is an increase of 428 factories. The following table shows the number of factories and workers employed therein registered from 1895 to 1913 : —
The following table shows how the wages were distributed amongst the leading trades :—
Note.—The total wages paid in factories as shown in the various tables in this report are for the twelve months ending the 31st March, 1912 (not 1913). The figures for 1912-13 not being obtainable from the employers until after the 31st March, 1913, cannot be published until next year.

All the manufacturing trades show a very steady increase in wages paid, with the exception of the leather-working trades, light, heat, and power trades, and flax-milling. In regard to the slight decrease in the light- and power-producing trades (electricity and coal-gas), it is interesting to note that while there has been a decrease of £11,823 in wages paid in gasworks there has been an increase in the wages of power-house and dynamo hands of £10,002. It is probable that the erection of more modern plant used for gas-production, with its accompanying labour-saving devices, has in a measure been responsible for the falling-off in wages paid in that industry and, in a lesser degree, the recent exclusion from our figures of some hands, such as main-layers and labourers, who are, strictly speaking, not factory operatives. The flax-milling industry is a very intermittent one, and probably the price of the fibre on the English market was low during the year dealt with. As regards the increases, it is gratifying to note the yevy large additional wages paid in the iron and metal and the woodworking trades. This evidences fair progress and steady employment. In the other trades listed the increases are normal, and do not call for special remark. The following table shows the number of factories in the four chief cities of the Dominion, classified according to the number of hands employed at date of annual registration—viz., April, 1912 :—

Prosecotions. The various provisions of this Act continue to be well observed, and it is satisfactory to report that the offences, too, are mostly minor ones; the exercise of a little more care on the part of factory-proprietors should reduce the prosecutions to a minimum. Ninety-six cases were taken before the Court as against 108 during the previous year. Convictions were obtained in ninety-four cases, and two cases were dismissed. The different offences under the Act are summarized as follow : — Cases taken Failing to allow weekly half-holiday to females and boys ... ... 5 Failing to grant statutory whole holiday to females and boys ... 2 Failing to pay wages at not longer than fortnightly intervals ... ... 11 Failing to keep wages and overtime book ... ... ... ... 19 Employing persons under sixteen years of age in factories without certificates of fitness ... ... ... ... ... ... 11 Employing females and boys overtime without permits ... ... 21 Failing to report accidents within forty-eight hours of their occurrence ... 5 Failing to register factories ... ... ... ... ... 9 Miscellaneous offences ... ... ... ... ... ... 13 Of the dismissed cases, one, for failing to affix a label to work done in an unregistered factory, was dismissed on the ground that the defendants, who were shopkeepers, did not come within the definition of factory-occupiers for the purposes of the Act, owing to the work in question having been the alteration of a garment and not the making up of raw material into a garment (section 30, subsection 2, of the Act). The other case was against a Chinese laundr}'man for failure to keep a wages and overtime book. The defendant admitted the fact, but claimed that the alleged employee was a partner. The Magistrate upheld this contention. Overtime. The total number of hours worked by women and by boys under sixteen years of age was 359,786, a decrease of 5,842 hours compared with the returns of 1911-12. The dressmaking,

boot and shoe making, tailoring, clothing, printing, biscuit, and confectionery, and jam-making trades and laundering, in point of extra hours worked, were the busiest. The details, according to trades, are given in this report, page 85. Certificates of Fitness. During the year certificates were issued to 969 boys and 1,273 girls (fourteen to sixteen years of age) to work in factories. A return, giving details according to towns and standard of education, is given in this report (page 86). The number of certificates issued appears to be decreasing from year to year, especially in regard to those issued to boys. In 1911-12, 1,106 certificates were issued to boys, or 137 more than during the year just passed. The number of girls securing certificates is twenty less than the previous year. Accidents in Factories. There is a fair decrease in the total number of accidents recorded this year, and it is gratifying to note that the fatal and serious accidents in factories were very few compared with those happening in previous years. The following table compares the numbers reported for the past three years : —
The following is a- summary of the causes of the eight fatal accidents recorded : An engineer's machinist of Christchurch attempted, to effect repairs to a belt whilst the machinery was in motion :he was caught in the gearing and killed outright. A brickworks engine-driver in Auckland, while oiling machinery in motion, had his clothing gripped in the shaft and was carried round and killed. A tailor's presser, of Wellington, against instructions, used a passenger-lift, and was jammed between the elevator and the wall of the lift-well. An enginedriver in a Wellington plumbing establishment became entangled in a revolving shaft, his injuries resulting in death. A topman in a Christchurch brewery, while cleaning a vat, became overcome by the fumes, fell into the vat, and was drowned. An Auckland gasworks greaser was crushed in a coke-elevator, which was inadvertently set in motion whilst he was engaged in oiling same. A Christchurch gasworks engineer met his death under precisely similar circumstances. A sawmill hand in Westland was struck on the head by a log which fell off a trolly : he was killed instantly. The table hereunder shows the accidents for each industrial district : — Northern Industrial District ... ... ... ... 401 Taranaki Industrial District ... ... . ... 3 Wellington Industrial District ... ... ...' .. ... 204 Marlborough Industrial District ... ... ... ... ... 2 Nelson Industrial District ... ... ... ... ... 3 Westland Industrial District ... ... . . 12 Canterbury Industrial District ... ... ... ... ... 187 Otago and Southland Industrial District ... ... ... 149 A chart, illustrating the accidents in factories during the years 1903 to 1913 inclusive, is included at the end of the report. SHOPS AND OFFICES ACT. The statistics published annually in regard to the number of . shops, employees therein, wages paid, ore, are omitted this year, and, on account of the difficulty in obtaining reliable data, are not likely to be included in future. Other reasons for their non-inclusion are as follow : So many shops—mainly the smaller shops—change hands from time to time, either to different owners in the same trade or to owners in different trades. The shops not employing assistants cannot be compelled to furnish the returns required; and as a considerable number of small shops employ assistants at one time and none at another, a good deal of confusion is caused. A large number of shops carry on several classes of business, with the result that there is a great deal of overlapping—for example, groceries and fruit; groceries and stationery; fancy goods and stationery; and so on. In most cases the employees are engaged in the several classes of

business carried on and not in the separate trades; it is impossible, therefore, to classify the returns under the respective trades. Then it is frequently difficult to distinguish between a purely retail business and a wholesale business. For these reasons it has been found impossible to make an adequate comparison of the number of shops and of the assistants employed therein from year to year. It is to be regretted that this step is necessary, but the utmost difficulty has been experienced in getting reliable statistical information, for the reasons stated. A simple return will, however, be collected from shopkeepers from year to year, as it is essential that some annual iecord be kept of the shops carrying on business. Prosecutions. The following details show the number and nature of the prosecutions under the Act during the year : — n «„ „ Number of offences - Cases taken. Failing to close in terms of requisitions by which the hours are fixed by a majority of shopkeepers concerned ... ... ... ... 67 Failing to close on statutory half-holiday ... ... ... ... 43 Failing to grant weekly half-holiday to assistants ... ... ... 10 Failing to pay wages at not longer than fortnightly intervals 4 Employing assistants after hours prescribed for assistants ... ... 28 Employing assistants more than the prescribed number of. hours ... 13 Employing assistants overtime wdthout permission ... ... ... 8 Failing to pay overtime rates to assistants ... ... ... ... 4 Failing to keep holiday-book in hotels and restaurants ... ... 15 Failing to keep wages and time book ... ... ... ... 25 Total ... ... ... ... ... ... 217 Altogether 217 cases were taken against shopkeepers, compared with 298 during the previous j'ear. The decrease is mainly accounted for by the fact that the proprietors of hotels and restaurants have become accustomed to the working of the Act of 1910. Out of the 217 cases taken, twelve were dismissed, as follow :— Two against chemists, for employing assistants after hours, were dismissed owing to conflicting evidence. One against a boardinghouse-"keeper, for employing an assistant longer than fifty-two hours per week, was dismissed, as the S.M. held that, as defendant generally did not supply meals to the public, but sold only occasional meals, his place was therefore not a restaurant. (An appeal was lodged by the Department against this decision, but it was dismissed.) One against a private-hotel keeper, for failing to pay two waitresses for overtime worked, was dismissed, as the information had not been laid within one month of the offence being committed. One against a pork-butcher, for failing to close his shop on the statutory half-holiday; defendant kept a lunch-room at the back of his shop, and at 1 p.m. on the holiday he placed a screen in position so as to shut off the shop. The S.H. held that this was sufficient to comply with the provisions of the Act. (An appeal is pending.) One against a hawker, for selling on the statutory half-holiday, was dismissed, as a definite sale could not be proved. One against a pork-butcher, for failing to close his shop in terms of a gazetted requisition from butchers fixing their closing-hours, was dismissed, the Court holding that the requisition did not apply to pork-butchers' shops, as the trades of butcher and porkbutcher were separate, they being separately mentioned in the Second Schedule of the Act. One case against a tea-room proprietor, for failing to pay wages at not more than fortnightly intervals, was dismissed, the Magistrate holding that, as there was a dispute between defendant and the worker as to the amount of wages due, he would not convict defendant. One against a butcher, for employing an assistant more than fifty-two hours in one week, was dismissed for the reason that the worker in question was not employed for more than fifty-two hours as a shopassistant. The evidence showed that the assistant was engaged for some hours per week slaughtering for defendant's brother. One case against a fancy-goods dealer, for employing two assistants after hours, was brought before the Court, but was dismissed owing to there being insufficient evidence to convict. Two Chinese grocers were prosecuted for selling tobacco and cigarettes after the hours fixed by requisition for the closing of tobacconists' shops. The S.M. held that in each case subsection (5) of section 25 had the effect of restricting the whole section to occupiers of shops who were British subjects, and as defendants were not naturalized no offence had been committed. The cases were accordingly dismissed. This case discloses an

obvious error in the section, which should be rectified. One against an undertaker, who sold wreaths and other funeral furnishings, for not closing on the statutory half-holiday, was dismissed, the S.M. not being satisfied that the defendant was a " shopkeeper " as defined by the Act. INDUSTRIAL CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION ACT. The past year has been the most notable for serious industrial unrest in the history of the Dominion, no fewer than thirty-five strikes having occurred. Happily the major portion were of a minor nature, but three disputes were of some magnitude—namely, those affecting the Waihi Gold-miners, the Reefton Gold-miners, and the slaughtermen throughout the Dominion. The •first-mentioned was one of the most serious industrial disturbances in the history of New Zealand, and was remarkable for the fact that the dispute lay not between employers and their workers, but between two bodies of workers — i.e., those in favour of the Act and those opposed to its principles. The most regrettable feature to record was that there was much rioting and disorder, which, unhappily, ended in the fatal shooting of one of the participants. The Reefton dispute may be considered as second to the Waihi trouble in point of magnitude, the industry affected being at a standstill for a period of six months. The slaughtermen's strike, which was one sympathetic dispute, spread practically throughout the Dominion, took place when the season was at its height, and consequently must have resulted in serious loss and inconvenience to the freezing companies and to the farmers. The following are details of the circumstances of each dispute : — Waihi Gold-miners (from 13th May to 20th November, 1912). —The majority of the miners and other workers employed at the mines were members of the New Zealand Federation of Labour, which was opposed to registration under the Act. The engine-drivers, winders, &c, employed at the mines seceded from the Miners' Union and formed a separate union, which it registered under the Act, and the miners belonging to the Federation of Labour refused to work with them. The mines were accordingly closed down, and a total of about two thousand men was thrown out of employment. The actual number of strikers was about seven hundred. Up to the year 1911 the Waihi Miners' Union, to which all the employees in the mines belonged, was registered under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, but it then cancelled its registration and joined the New Zealand Federation of Labour. The award under which the union had been working ceased to exist, on the cancellation being completed, as its currency had expired. Ihe engine-drivers, wishing to continue to work under the Act, registered their union in order to enter into an " industrial agreement " as to conditions of employment with the employers. The estimated loss in wages to the workers concerned in the strike was about £180,000. The strike lasted for six months, when the Federation of Labour declared it "off,'' as it had practically collapsed. Sufficient men were by that time available to enable the companies to effect a resumption of work, and the mines were accordingly reopened. The strikers' places were gradually filled by other men, and the employees are at present working under " industrial agreements," having formed unions and registered them under the Act. Matters now appear to have recovered something near their normal level. The strike was not illegal within the meaning of the Act, as there was no award or industrial agreement in force affecting the strikers, and therefore no action was taken. Inangahua Gold-miners (from 18th May to 16th November, 1912). —In. this case the trouble arose over the company's decision to work the newly introduced Waugh drill machines (commonly known as "poppers") single-handed instead of continuing to employ two men on each popper, although it is understood that the question of working under the contract system was also at stake. The men's union resolved that it would not accede to the company's determination, and when the men were asked to work the poppers single-handed they refused to do so and were paid off. Work was thus brought practically to a standstill, and as a consequence 519 men were rendered idle. The industrial agreement under which the men and the company were working specified that in the event of questions arising which were not provided for in the agreement a person to be appointed by the Arbitration Court Judge should act as arbitrator, but neither side apparently made any suggestion that the trouble should be thus settled. The deadlock continued, and after five weeks twenty-four blacksmiths and engine-drivers (who had not so far been affected by the dispute) ceased work, allegedly through intimidation of the union and the idle miners. After work had been at a standstill for nearly six months an agreement was . arrived at between the parties and filed as an " industrial agreement," to come into force on the 16th November, 1912. It was agreed that where poppers were in operation the work should be performed by workmen in pairs; that the employers should have the right to require stoping

and other work to be done by contract; and that there should be no victimization of the members of the union who had taken part in the dispute, but that all men employed in the mines when the trouble commenced should, as far as practicable, be reinstated if they applied for work within fourteen days of the date of the agreement. Preparations were made for reopening the mines, and on these conditions a-resumption of work followed. The loss in wages tc the workmen concerned is estimated at £40,500. The company and the men were bound by an industrial agreement, and thus came within the lockout and strike provisions of the Act. No action was taken against the company as, on the advice of the Law Officers, it was found that there was not sufficient evidence to show that the discontinuance of work was due to the orders of the company, ■ but rather that it was due to the men acting themselves in pursuance of a resolution of the union; the company had made certain demands upon the men which the latter were unwilling to comply with, and on account of the men's precipitate action in refusing to work under the proposed altered conditions of employment it was unnecessary for the company to enforce its demands, which could have been done probably only by means of a lockout. Regarding the men's action, we were advised that no strike under the Act had occurred, as the cessation of work was not with the intention of compelling their employers to agree to new terms of employment or to comply with any demands made by the workers. The workers had made no demands; they had merely refused to work under a changed condition, of employment imposed on them by the employers. Slaughtermen (January to March, 1913). —This strike was one sympathetic dispute operating throughout most of the Dominion. It commenced towards the latter end of January and lasted until well into March. The men demanded an increase of ss. per hundred on the ruling rate for killing, which was £1 ss. per hundred, together with other conditions of work, which the companies refused to entertain. They offered, however, to effect a compromise at the rate of £1 7s. 6d. per hundred, but this the men declined. Five hundred and six men accordingly ceased work, thus rendering over fourteen hundred workers idle. The various works were at a standstill for two weeks and upwards, after which other men (non-unionists) were engaged at the companies' terms (£1 7s. 6d. per hundred), and work was gradually resumed. In some cases a few of the strikers applied and were taken on again. The districts of Auckland, Masterton, Nelson, and Invercargill were not affected by the strike. The total loss in wages to the workmen concerned is estimated at £30,800. The unions had cancelled their registrations under the Act in order to engage in the strike, if their demands were refused, without incurring penalties. The effect of the cancellation was shortly afterwards to terminate the awards and industrial agreements under which they had been working, the said awards and industrial agreements having run out their specific currency just before the men struck. The men had also given the notice (required by section 9 of the Act in the case of public utilities) of their intention to cease work if their demands were not conceded. The strike was therefore not illegal, and consequently no action was taken. Coal-miners, Kaitangata (from 9th August to 16th August, 1912).- —The cause of this strike was the company's refusal to concede the demand for the reinstatement of a winchman who had refused to obey orders (i.e., to attend to urgent duty during crib-time) and who had consequently been dismissed. One hundred and twenty-three men ceased work, throwing a total of 145 men idle. The company paid off all hands who did not resume work, and decided to re-engage men on condition that those taken on should join the Miners' Union registered under the Act, and comply with the industrial agreement entered into between the company and the union. Work was accordingly resumed and the strike gradually " fizzled out." The monetary loss occasioned to the workmen was about £400, whilst the corresponding loss to the employers is estimated at £3,000. No action was taken against the strikers, as their action was not illegal, there being no award or industrial agreement in force at the time they struck. Firemen, Trimmers, and Greasers, s.s. " Regulus," Wellington (from 10th January to 28th February, 1913). —In this case the three firemen employed demanded the employment of two trimmers on the vessel on account of the heavy work alleged to be involved on them through the insufficient staff employed. The company refused the men's request and the latter accordingly struck, rendering the ship's company, totalling sixteen men, idle. Other men could not be obtained to fill the strikers' places, and the ship was in consequence put out of commission and subsequently sold, all endeavours to effect a settlement of the trouble having failed. The monetary loss occasioned by the men's action was, to themselves over £300, and to the employers about £2,000. As there was no award or industrial agreement in force governing these workers the strike was not illegal.

Firemen, Trimmers, and Greasers, s.s. " Mapourika," Wellington (from loth January to 19th February, 3.913). —A similar strike took place on this steamer, the men employed alleging an insufficient staff in the stokehold. In this case the number of strikers was eight, whilst a total of forty-four men were rendered, idle. After the ship had been laid up for five weeks the company compromised by agreeing to employ one additional man. The ship then resumed her trading. The loss in wages to the men was about £460, whilst it is estimated that the company suffered approximately to the extent of £1,500. No action was taken against the strikers, for the same reason as in the " Regulus " case. Slaughtermen, Oamaru (from 4th June to 16th July, 1912). —In this case thirteen men ceased work owing to the employer refusing to concede their demand for the dismissal of a learner who had been engaged against their wishes. The men contended that there were enough learners employed without the additional one. As a result a total of seventy men were rendered idle. The men did not resume work, and the factory was closed down for the season. The company estimates the duration of the strike at six weeks, because in the ordinary course of events the season would have lasted that long after the date the strike occurred. The monetary loss sustained by the workmen, concerned through loss of employment was about £850, whilst the employers suffered to the extent of approximately £500. The thirteen men who struck were summoned before the Magistrates' Court for a breach of the strike provisions of the Act, and were each fined £1; they accepted the decision of the Court, but it was then too late in the season to reopen the works. There was, however, no trouble when the following season commenced, and the learner about whom the dispute arose found other employment. The whole of the amount of fines imposed has been paid. Dredge Hands (Gold-dredging), Waikaia, Southland, (from 15th February to Ist March, 1913). —In this case six men demanded an increase in wages from 9s. per shift (the award rate) to 10s. per shift. The company refused to increase the rate of pay, and the men accordingly left work. The dredge was idle for two weeks, after which work was. resumed, a new crew having been engaged, at 9s. per shift. The loss in wages to the men is estimated at £37, whilst to the employers the loss was considerable, being given as nearly £650. Proceedings against the strikers are pending.* Tunnel Workers, Lake Coleridge, Canterbury 23rd September to sth October, 1912). — The chief causes of this strike were the employers' refusal to concede certain demands of the men, the principal of which were time-and-a-half rates of overtime, and double time for Sunday work; also the reinstating of an engine-driver who had been discharged owing to an accident, the cause of which was alleged to be attributable to his negligence. Fifty-two men were idle for twelve days, after which work was resumed, as the employer granted the demands of the men in nearly every particular. The loss in wages to the men concerned is estimated at £720, whilst the employer's loss is put down at £30. As there was no award or industrial agreement in force governing these workers the strike was not illegal. There were also several minor disputes, which were either (1) of a trivial nature, for which reason it was not considered necessary to take action, or (2) did not come within the scope of the Act, there being no award or agreement in force. The following cases come under heading (1) :— Coal-miners, Huntly (one day). Firemen, &c, s.s. " Maori," Wellington (six days). Flax-mill workers, Manawatu (one day). Gold-miners, Karangahake (one day). The following cases come under heading (2) : — Gold-miners, Thames (one day). Labourers, Taranaki Oil-wells (one day). Newspaper Company's employees, Whangarei (two days). Waterside Workers, Timaru (two cases : one day and eight days respectivley). A summary of the whole of the strikes which have occurred in New Zealand since the inception of the Act is given in the following return. It will be noted that, of a total of ninety-eight strikes over a period of nineteen years, forty-three, or nearly 45 per cent, of the whole, are regarded as trivial. Of the ninety-eight strikes, sixty-three (thirty-three of which were important) were outside the scope of the Act, and thirty-five within it. The loss to workers was estimated at £283,206, and to employers £160,414. * They were summoned before the Magistrates' Court and subsequently fined as follows : Two ringleaders, £5 each • two others who took an active part in the trouble, £3 each; and one, 10s.; whilst one case was dismissed, as the evidence showed that the worker in question was not on the dredge when the others at first decided to go on strike. £13 10s. of the amount of the fines imposed has been paid, the remaining £3 being due by one man, who has since left the district and cannot be traced at present.

During the year the provisions of section 4 of the 1911 amendment to the Act, in regard to the making of an award to apply to more than one industrial district, have been given effect to by the Court, which has made a Dominion award affecting typographers, and another covering letterpress machinists, in the four chief industrial districts. In the cases of bakers and other trades it was found that the procedure provided for to obtain Dominion awards was complicated and lengthy. The idea was therefore abandoned, and on the advice of the Court the associations concerned arranged with their unions in the various districts to have local disputes filed in the usual way. The Court then made awards of a similar nature in each of the four chief industrial districts in each of the following trades : bakers, drivers, and iron and brass moulders. Associations of workers in other trades are taking steps to have uniform conditions fixed throughout the Dominion in a similar way. In eight instances recommendations of Conciliation Councils with which no disagreement had been filed by any of the parties concerned have, in accordance with the provisions of section 7 of the 1911 amendment, become awards. The Arbitration Court has, however, ruled that, owing to a defect in that section of the Act, these recommendations are not enforceable or binding on the parties in any way. In order to remedy this it is proposed to bring down a Bill during the next session of Parliament, which, when made law, will validate these recommendations, and its provisions will act retrospectively. A noteworthy feature during the year was the increase in the number of awards and industrial agreements that have come into force in the smaller industrial districts, particularly in Taranaki, Marlborough, and Westland. During the year a question was raised as to the effect of the 1910 amendment of the Shops and Offices Act on the Wellington Hotel Workers' award. This award, which came into operation before the passing of that Act, provides in clause 14 that if any change should be made by legislation in any of the conditions fixed by the award, the award would thereafter cease to * Of this total, thirty-one strikes were of slaughtermen—consisting of two separate sympathetic disputes spread mostly over the whole of the Dominion.

operate, and the conditions of employment would then be arranged between the employers and the individual workers employed by them, subject to such legislation. On the other hand, section 11 of the Act above referred to provides that any award in existence should, notwithstanding the Act, continue in force unaltered until the expiration of its. currency, and then be read subject to the award. In an interpretation of the award the Court held that the effect of the 1910 amendment to the Shops and Offices Act was to alter the hours of work fixed by the award, as it reduced them from a maximum of sixty-five per week to sixty-two for male workers and fifty-eight for females and young persons. As the period for which the award was made had expired, the provisions of the Act came into full operation, and under clause 14 of the award the provisions of the award ceased to operate. A case for enforcement of award was taken against a timber company which was in liquidation. The company contended that in accordance with the Companies Act no proceedings could therefore be taken against it without the leave of the Supreme Court. The Magistrate ruled, how ever, that as the Crown was not specially mentioned in the section of the Act prohibiting action to be taken as aforesaid, the Companies Act did not apply to any action brought on behalf of the Crown to recover a penalty payable to it. In the memorandum to the Auckland Farriers' award the Court ruled that it had no jurisdiction to embody in the award a clause contained in the recommendation of the Conciliation Council to the effect that an employee being allowed full time should not do any work pertaining to the trade for any other than his present employer. In the case of the Kaitangata coal-miners an industrial dispute between the union and the employers had been settled by agreement, which was forwarded to the Court to be embodied in an award. Application was then made by a representative of a section of the miners who did not belong to the union registered under the Act to be heard before the Court and to put forth their objections to the award being made. As the body of workers making the application was not a party to the dispute, the Court refused the application. It was further of the opinion that it was not desirable to depart from the principle embodied in the Act that workers can be represented before the Court only by a union duly registered under the Act. The Ngahauranga and Petone Slaughtermen's Union appealed against the decision of the Registrar to refuse registration, of the union under the Act. The reason for refusal was that there was, at the time the application for registration was made, a Wellington Slaughtermen's Union registered under the Act, to which the members of the appellant union "might conveniently belong." The evidence showed that the appellant union was desirous of obtaining registration in order to avail itself of the conciliation and arbitration provisions of the Act. In its decision the Court found that the Wellington union had not, either before it cancelled its registration, when its members went on strike, or after re-registration, shown any such desire to use the machinery of the Act to settle a dispute in which it was concerned. The Court also held that, as the object of the Act was to settle all industrial disputes by conciliation and arbitration, it would be intolerable if the existence of a union which had played fast and loose with the arbitration system, as the Wellington union had done, should bar the registration of another union the members of which had shown a bona fide desire to use the machinery of the Act. The Court was further of the opinion that the appellants should not be forced to accept the alternative of joining the Wellington union or of being deprived of the benefits of the Act. The Court also held that, under its rules", the Wellington union was in effect a close corporation. For these reasons it held that the existing union was not one to which the members of the appellant union might conveniently belong. The appeal was therefore upheld, and the Court accordingly reported to the Registrar that, in. its opinion, his refusal to register the appellant union should be waived. Particulars of other important judgments, under the heading " Applications for Awards in which no Award was made," will be found on page 51 of this report. Registration of Industrial Unions and Associations. The work in connection with registration of industrial unions continues to grow steadily, forty-six new unions being registered during the year, as against twenty-eight the previous year. The membership of the unions so registered totalled 4,091. at the time of registration. The number of employers' unions registered also showed a marked increase, twenty-one being registered (with 386 members) as against six in the previous period. Twelve workers' unions, and one association of workers' unions, voluntarily cancelled registration. Seven associations of workers' unions and one of employers were also registered. The provisions of the Act permit-
H.—ll
XIV
ting of amalgamation of unions connected with the same industry was responsible for the cancellation of two unions, which amalgamated and registered under one name. Five workers' unions and six employers' unions were cancelled as being defunct, having failed to send in returns as required by section 17 of the Act. Eleven workers' unions altered their titles (under the Amendment Act of 1910). These alterations sometimes mean a large accession of membership, as artisans or others in allied industries not covered by existing unions are often included in an established union by this simple procedure. Thirty-two complete and forty-six partial amendments of rules were accepted during the year. The usual annual return (to 31st December, 1912) of the unions registered under the Act, with their membership at that date, is published separately in parliamentary paper H.-11a, as required by the Act.
The following table shows the number of unions and members thereof (both employers' and workers') from the 31st December, 1904, to 31st December, 1912, inclusive: —
It will be seen that there has been an increase of five employers' unions, the total membership of which has increased by 159, and an increase of fifteen workers' unions, the total membership of which shows a very substantial gain of 4,993. This latter result is in contrast to the record of the previous year, when a decrease in the membership of workers' unions was shown, totalling 1,462, caused mainly by the cancellation of several large unions ostensibly for the purpose of joining a body opposed to the principles of the Act. The increase in membership this year is one of the largest recorded since the year ending 31st December, 1907, and it is apparently an indication of continued or renewed faith in the Act by a very large body of workers.

Expenditure on Court and Councils. The following table shows details of expenditure of (a) Conciliation Boards (under the old Act) for the year 1909-10; (b) Councils of Conciliation (under the present Act) for the years 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13; and (c) Court of Arbitration for the same period:—
This table includes the annual salaries of the members of the Court (£2,800) and of the Conciliation Commissioners (£1,500). It will be noted that the expenditure for the Conciliation Councils shows an increase of £344 19s. Id. compared with last year's figures, and Arbitration Court expenditure an increase of £902 6s. The increased expenditure was due to the greater number of cases heard by both the Councils and the Court compared with the previous year.
The expenses of assessors of the Councils during 1912-13 for fees and travelling-expenses are as follow :—
Comparing the totals with last }'ear's expenditure (£1,930 6s. 10d.), there has been an increase this year of £153 Bs. 2d.

to the satisfaction of the Court, were also dismissed. Full reports of the dismissed cases are given in the official Book of Awards, Agreements, &c, made under the Act. In the Arbitration Court cases the Department was successful in ten instances, whilst three were dismissed. In the Magistrates' Court 499 were successful and fifty-two were dismissed, whilst one is incomplete. In regard to the number of cases dismissed, it should be explained that many of them were debatable or technical, and were therefore mostly in the nature of "test" cases; in fact, it might be said that the number of deliberate breaches is much fewer than formerly. The fines ordered in the Arbitration Court amounted to £73, in the Magistrates' Court £853 lis. The fines in the cases taken by unions amounted to £20 (in the Magistrates' Court). The following is a table showing in detail the cases taken under the Act during the period : —

*In two cases the Department appealed to the Arbitration Court, which upheld the appeals in both cases; in two cases defendants appealed and both were dismissed ; in two other instances appeals are pending. f Four cases were referred to the Arbitration Court, in two of which the Court held that no breaches had occurred, in one that an offence had been committed, whilst one case is incomplete.

The following table gives a complete analysis of the collection of these penalties : — Return showing Total Cases and Penalties paid and owing by Employers as at Slst March, 1913 (from Inception of Act).

* This total includes fifty cases for instigating, aiding, abetting, or taking part in strikes. Two were against industrial unions of workers for instigating strikes. In one case a penalty of £60 was imposed, whilst the other was dismissed, as the Court held that the union was not responsible for the action of its secretary at whose instigation the men struck. The evidence showed that the union had not authorized the secretary's action, which, the Court held, could not be treated as having been done by him in the course of his duty as secretary of the union. Action was then taken against the secretary and fifteen of the men for taking part in the strike. The former was fined £20 and four of the latter £1 each, and one £5, whilst the cases against the remaining ten were dismissed, as the evidence was not sufficient to prove that they took part in the strike. Eleven were against butchers (engaged in connection with the supply of meat for domestic consumption) for striking without giving fourteen days' previous notice of their intention to do so. Seven were each fined £3, one (held to be the prime mover) £10, and one £1, whilst two cases were dismissed, as the Court held, from'the evidence, that the employers had told the men to leave work. Seven were against threshing-millers, four of whom were each fined 10s. and three each £1. Thirteen were against slaughtermen, each of whom was fined £1 ; whilst the remaining one was against an industrial union for allegedly instigating an unlawful strike. This one was dismissed by the Magistrate, his previous decision, convicting and fining the union £100, having been reversed on appeal by the Arbitration Court. Most of the other cases were for failure to keep wages and overtime book, including one against an employer who was fined £20, as the evidence showed he had endeavoured to mislead the Inspector by the falsification of his book; but the total also includes a few cases for failing to exhibit copies of awards in factories and shops, and three for making wilfully false entries in wages and overtime book. On c such latter case was dismissed, as the Court held that the evidence did not prove that the false entries in the book were wilfully made. In the other two cases fines of £10 and £.3 were imposed.

Of the amount unpaid, £182 Os. lOd. is owing by employers who have gone out of business and whose whereabouts are at present unknown; several are reported to have left the Dominion. £5 19s. 6d. is owing by employers who have promised to pay off their fines by instalments; £61 ss. by employers against whom warrants of distress have been issued, but who have " no effects " (several of these are bankrupt, but are now working for wages and are paying in small instalments); £60 2s. 6d. by employers who, through illness, &c, are in very poor circumstances, and cannot pay at present; £2 by an employer who was accidentally killed soon after the fine was imposed; and £80 of the total amount of penalties is owing by persons only recently fined.

Some of these workers were only recently fined, whilst others disappeared either before or just after the penalties were imposed). £3 13s. is owing by men against whom distress warrants have been issued, but so far without effect; £1 12s. 4d. by two workers who were drowned; £9 10s. by workers only recently fined, for the recovery of which the usual steps are being taken; and £59 ss. by an industrial union of workers, being part penalty imposed for instigating an unlawful strike. Out of the total amount of penalties inflicted on slaughtermen in the year 1907—viz., £1,330 —it will be noted that there is still an amount of £295 outstanding, or 22 per cent, 'of the whole. There is no change in these figures since the last report was published.

Councils of Conciliation. The result of the Commissioners' work is summarized in the following table : —■
Compared with last year the above results show that twelve fewer cases were fully settled during the present period. Since their establishment in January, 1909, the Councils have dealt with 426 cases, and of this total 292 have been fully settled, whilst the number referred to the Court (i.e., in which no agreement has been effected by the Commissioners and their assessors) totals fifty-five. Cases partly settled (i.e., leaving but a few clauses over to the Court) total seventy-nine. The reports of the Commissioners appear in this report (see page 45).
MONEY RECOVERED FOR WORKERS UNDER VARIOUS ACTS. The following table gives a list showing the amounts collected by the Department's Inspectors on behalf of workers :—
The total amount collected was £1,856 135., as compared with £1,901 14s. 4d. collected for the year ending 31st March, 1912. In all these cases the facts are fully inquired into by the Department's officers, and settlement without prosecution is agreed to in cases of inadvertence. WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT. During the year ending 31st March, 1913, twenty-four cases for recovery of compensation were taken into Court. In two cases the relatives of deceased workers were awarded full compensation, amounting to £500 each; eleven cases taken by workers who had been incapacitated by accident were successful; ten cases were dismissed, and one held over. The most important cases dealt with were as follow :— A miner whose wages had been 10s. 3d. a day claimed compensation on the basis of £3 Is. 6d. weekly earnings. The defendant contended that the average weekly earnings did not amount to more than £2 ss. 4d. This amount was arrived at by including in the period of employment certain days on which the plaintiff was absent from work during the period over which the work was spread. The Court ruled that in calculating such average weekly earnings within the meaning of section 6 of the Act no account should be taken of any periods during which the worker was absent from work, and that therefore claimant was entitled to compensation on the basis of his claim— i.e., £3 Is. 6d. per week. (Vol. xi, p. 1.0.) The representatives of a deceased worker claimed the balance of medical and funeral expenses under section 4 of the Act—viz., for maintenance at a hospital. The Court ruled that the term "medical or surgical attendance" did not include maintenance, and gave judgment for defendants. (Vol. xi, p. 14.)

A worker who was employed to work a hauler at a sawmill was travelling home after his day's work was finished on a truck of timber running on a tramway between the bush and the sawmill. He was travelling on it for his own convenience, and his employer was not under any obligation to convey him to or from his work. A bridge over which he was travelling collapsed and he was killed. It was held that the accident did not arise out of and in the course of his employment, and the case was dismissed. {Labour Journal, April, 1913, p. 263.) A worker employed in a livery-stable slept in a room which was reached by a stair from the stable. During the night he woke up, hearing a knocking noise in the stable. He got up to ascertain the cause of the noise and fell from the landing on to the floor of the stable, as a result ■of which he was permanently incapacitated from work. The Court decided that in going to ascertain the cause of the noise the plaintiff was answering a call of duty, and that therefore the accident was one arising out of and in the course of his employment, and he was entitled to compensation. (Labour Journal, April, 1913, p. 265.) The widow of a contractor's foreman claimed compensation on account of the death of her husband, who had been knocked down and killed by a passing train while going on his employer's business. It was held that the accident did not arise out of the deceased's employment, there being nothing in the evidence to suggest that in the performance of his duties he had to cross the railway-line more frequently than other people, or was exposed in this respect to anything beyond the oridnary risk. (Note. —It would appear from this judgment, and from the other decisions quoted in the judgment, that compensation is not payable merely where a worker meets with an accident while in his employment (i.e., "in the course of his employment"—section 3 (1) ), but the accident must be due to some risk which is incidental to the employment (i.e., "arising out of his employment" —section 3 (1)). (Ijabour Journal, February, 1913, p. 111.) A miner working in a coal-mine went from his working-place to another place in the mine, and whilst there was injured by a fall of coal. He went there for a purpose of his own, and contrary to the regulations under the Coal-mines Act. The Court held that in doing so he lost for the time being the protection of the Act, and his claim for compensation was dismissed. (Vol. xi, p. 34.) A motorman was killed whilst in charge of a motor-trolly in a tunnel. The employers raised the defence that the worker was killed through carrying the trolly-pole so that it was ahead of the motor instead of behind it, and this, being contrary to instructions, constituted " serious and wilful misconduct " within the meaning of section 15 of the Act. The object of the instructions, however, was to avoid damage to the employer's property, and not the safety of the workers. The Court awarded compensation, and in doing so laid down the rule that the question of what constituted serious and wilful misconduct was one to be decided according to the circumstances of each case, and that every violation by a worker of a rule in force in the factory or works need not be treated as amounting necessarily to serious and wilful misconduct. To constitute, serious misconduct within the meaning of section 15 the misconduct must be not merely serious in its consequences, but serious in itself. (Note. —This accident occurred prior to the coming into force of the 1911 amendment, under section 9 of which it is provided that when an accident results in " death or serious and permanent disablement " compensation is payable whether it is due to the worker's serious and wilful misconduct or not.) (Vol. xi, p. 11.) Another case w ; as that of a worker who, prior to making his claim in the Arbitration Court, had received compensation for part of the period of incapacity and signed a discharge in full settlement of his claim. It was clear from the medical evidence that he was mentally defective, and could not have understood what he was doing when he signed the discharge. Further compensation was therefore awarded by the Court. It was also held in this case that payments made to the worker under circumstances that showed that the liability to pay compensation was admitted precluded the defendant from subsequently alleging that the accident did not arise out of the worker's employment. (Vol. xi, p. 20.) An additional duty was given to officers of this Department by section 10 of the Workers' Compensation Act, 1911, which provides that agreements for settlement of the amount of compensation shall not be binding unless approved by a Magistrate or Inspector of Factories. During the past financial year seventy-two agreements were approved by Inspectors. SCAFFOLDING INSPECTION ACT. As the provisions of this Act are becoming better known the tendency to erect inferior scaffolding is decreasing. Constant vigilance, however, has in places to be exercised by our Inspectors, as unfortunately some employers continue to take undue risks by erecting scaffolding considered to be unsafe. The Wanganui officer mentions a case in point where he found work-
H.—ll

men engaged on a single plank 10 in. wide and 30 ft. in height from the ground; the standards supporting this platform were 3 in. by l\ in., and to obtain the desired length one peice was nailed to the side of another with al2 in. lap. No guard rails were provided, and not only did the scaffolding fail to come within the requirements of the Act, but it was considered positively dangerous to human life. Several of the Inspectors urge that power should be given by the Act to order the complete destruction of any gear found, whether in use or not —tressels, ladders, &c. —that are considered to be unsafe for use. The Inspectors may from time to time condemn any material that is being used, but as a further protection against its further use it is suggested that power should be given for unsafe gear, ladders, &c, to be destroyed in the presence of an Inspector. The accidents reported under the Act total 118 (last year 126), and the following table classifies them according to their severity : —
Nearly 85 per cent, of the accidents were slight —that is, necessitating very little loss of employment. There were two fatal accidents, as against five last year. These were sustained by a labourer engaged in bridge-construction who slipped and fell from a height of 42 ft., and by another labourer who stepped through an opening provided for a lift-well and was precipitated to the floor, a distance of 65 ft. The steady decrease in the number and seriousness of accidents occurring under the Act is a pleasing tribute to the careful administration of the Act by our several Inspectors. Prosecutions. There were twenty-six cases taken before the Court under the Act for the following offences :— Number of Offences. Failing to notify Inspector of intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 23 Permitting use of ladder which did not extend at least 5 ft. beyond the level to which such ladder was intended to afford access ... ... ... 2 For failing to make provision to the satisfaction of the Inspector of Scaffolding for the protection of workmen and others employed on or in the vicinity of a building in course of erection ... . .... ... 1 In this case the evidence showed that the defendant had been notified by the Inspector to provide proper and sufficient protection from accident for his workmen. The building was being erected under the supervision of defendant's foreman, and the Court held that defendant was responsible for the omission of his servant to have the Inspector's instructions carried out. The Court further held that it would appear to have been the duty of the Inspector to give the defendant some idea of what was required to make the scaffolding safe to his satisfaction; nevertheless that meiely providing loose boards on the floor of the building, leaving it to the workers to spread the boards so as to avoid accident, was not sufficient compliance with the requirements of the Act. Out of the twenty-six cases taken before the Court one was dismissed. In this case the Magistrate held that as the definition of " gear " in the Act includes ladders, planks, hangers, &c, the combination of these materials would not come under the definition of " scaffolding." Therefore no notice was required to be sent to the Inspector before the erection. SHEARERS' AND AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS' ACCOMMODATION ACT. Compared with last year fewer stations were visited by Inspectors in regard to the accommodation provided for shearers under the above Act. In the aggregate, however, a considerable amount of inspection was clone. Of the 353 stations actually inspected during the year, 268 were found to have satisfactory accommodation, and the remaining 85 stations had either full accommodation to provide or extensive alterations to make. A return on page 90 at the end of this report gives particulars of the inspections made and the alterations, &c., necessary to comply

with the Act. In the majority of cases requiring attention it is pleasing to. say that the notices served on owners were cheerfully and promptly complied with. In some cases, owing to various contingencies arising, an extension of time was granted within which to provide the necessary buildings, &c. Proceedings were taken against three stationholders during the year. Two of these cases have been decided and one is still pending. In one case a fine of £5 was inflicted, with a penalty of 10s. per day during the time the default continued; in addition the costs amounted to £8 7s. 9d. In the other case the occupier was ordered to comply with the notice, and to pay costs amounting to £1 17s. In a few instances permission was given to erect tent accommodation, the Inspector having first made a thorough examination as to the suitability of the locality for their use. The work involved upon the Inspectors in visiting stations in some of the districts was very considerable, and often necessitated an absence of from two to five days from headquarters. A number of complaints regarding inadequate accommodation provided was received from various sources during the year. These complaints were, as far as possible, investigated, and in the majority of instances it w T as proved that they were trivial. Before complaints are made to the Department it would be advisable for those submitting them to make themselves thoroughly conversant with the conditions existing, as it would obviate a good deal of wasted time and expense to the Department. In regard to visits paid to farm accommodation, several have been made during the-year. In the majority of cases the comfort of agricultural labourers has been well considered. Where alterations or additions have been ordered by Inspectors they have generally been complied with without question. In other cases there have been reasonable grounds for delay. It was found in connection with farm-accommodation inspection that the farmer was not always at fault, as the accommodation provided was adequate enough if the premises were kept in a cleanly state by the farm labourers themselves. It was obvious that a few minutes spent each day by the occupants in tidying up would greatly add to the appearance and comfort of the accommodation provided. x In respect to the accommodation provided for workers employed at sawmills and flax-mills : Following upon the amendment to the Act passed last session, regulations have been prepared which should materially benefit these workers. Immediately they are gazetted it is proposed to carry out a systematic inspection of all sawmills and flax-mills in the Dominion to see that the terms of the regulations are fully understood and complied with. In the next report a comprehensive statement will appear as to the inspections made. The visits made last year by several Inspectors and myself to some of these mills show that there is real and urgent need for improved conditions. WAGES PROTECTION AND CONTRACTORS' LIENS ACT. There were five prosecutions under this Act, four of which were against one contractor for failing to pay the entire amount of wages in money. He was convicted and fined in all four cases. The other case was against a hotelkeeper for paying an assistant by means of a crossed cheque. A conviction and fine were obtained in this instance also. LICENSING AMENDMENT ACT, 1910. BARMAIDS' REGISTRATION ACT, 1912. The latter Act, extending the time within which registration of barmaids may be effected, was largely availed of, and at the date of this report nearly two hundred applications have been received. Every care has been and will be taken by the Department to see that the required service as barmaid has been worked before registration will be granted. As the time for receiving applications does not close until the Ist June next, the work will probably not be completed until towards the end of that month. THE "SEDGWICK BOYS." It is pleasing to be able to report another satisfactory year of progress in respect to the boys brought to New Zealand in January, 1911, by Mr. T. E. Sedgwick. As you are aware, these fifty boys were collected by Mr. Sedgwick for farm-work in New Zealand; twenty-five of them came from Liverpool and twenty-five from London. Most of them were totally unacquainted with farm-work, and were sons of poor parents residing in the crowded areas of the two great English cities mentioned. In last year's report I mentioned that after fourteen months' experience I was able to classify the lads as follows : (a) Thirty-seven who have made good progress and have given the Department no trouble; (b) six whose conduct has not been entirely satisfactory, but who we expect will turn out all right eventually; and (c) seven whose behaviour has been so unsatisfactory that it is unlikely they will prove successful. Following the same classification after another twelve months' experience the result is not quite so good, as follows: (a) Thirty-five; (b) five; (c) nine. (The remaining boy died in the Wanganui Hospital of meningitis, after a short illness. Within a
H.—ll
XXIII
week prior to his death he was in farm employment beyond Wanganui.) Of the thirty-five boys in class (a), ten are now not under the control of the Department, having reached the age of twenty-one years during the period under review. In class (b) three of the boys are not in farm employment, and the behaviour of the other two has not been entirely satisfactory, although their misconduct'has not been of a very serious nature. The three former will reach the age of twentyone years very shortly. In class (c), in. addition to the seven reported as unsatisfactory last year, there are now two who have "cleared out." No special steps have been taken by the Department to bring them under control, as unless the boys are content to work in an amicable and friendly way with us I think it better to allow them to follow their own inclinations. I have no reason to believe otherwise than that some of the boys in class (c) are doing very well on their own initiative, and that some of them have continued in farm employment, though I doubt whether they are taking the same care of their earnings, and are studying the same necessity for thrift, as the forty boys who have been and are under the guardianship of the Department. During March last I had the privilege of giving evidence before the Empire Trade Commission on the working of this experiment, and the Commissioners were apparently pleased with the particulars placed before them and of the undoubted success of the experiment. The earnings banked on behalf of the boys by the Department now total £2,024 7s. 2d. The clothing, boots, &c, required by the boys are still purchased by the Department on their behalf. Very few of the employers now find their boys in clothing, as both parties have been content to ' leave it to the Department, owing to the purchases being made in a cheaper market. Serviceable articles of good quality only are sent to the boys by the Department. Beyond the illness and death of the lad already mentioned, the whole of the boys have enjoyed the best of health, and those visited by the departmental officers have greatly improved in physical appearance since their arrival. The Department again invited the lads to send Christmas presents to their parents and relations in London and Liverpool, and the response was very generous, most of the lads sending £2 in money. In other cases presents of cheese and frozen lamb were sent. In terms of the agreement made between Mr. Sedgwick and the Department the whole of the boys will be free of the control of the Department in January, 1914. I have little doubt that the lads concerned will appreciate the interest and care displayed in their welfare, and probably in later years will more fully realize the splendid opportunity afforded them of learning a useful occupation and of fitting them to become useful citizens in the new " Britain overseas." I have again to thank the farmers and the boys themselves for their loyalty to the agreements made, and also our several agents for the sympathetic interest displayed in the success of the experiment. SERVANTS' REGISTRY OFFICES ACT. There were only two prosecutions under this Act. One case was for keeping servants as lodgers; the other was for failing to keep a book of engagements. Convictions were obtained in both cases. It will be remembered that in last year's report a special inspection of the books of registryoffice keepers had been made, when it was ascertained that, despite the fact that the regulations of 1907 had reduced the fees payable by the workers and increased those payable by employers, it was found that the employers were either not charged at all for services rendered or that they paid only a very small fee. Instead of employers paying approximately double the fees paid by the workers, they actually paid only about two-thirds—£2,7B6 instead of £7,594 — which it will be seen is approximately £5,000 less than the registry-office keepers were entitled to charge. Following upon the publication of the figures a new scale has been drawn up, and it becomes operative on the Ist June next. The general effect of it is to reduce the fees payable by workers for engagements actually made by about 6d. all round. WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT BRANCHES. These branches of the Department still find their operations restricted very greatly by the dearth of applicants for domestic service. The number of persons assisted this year (2,072) is 143 less than for the previous year. The total persons assisted in each of the centres are as follow: Auckland, 591; Wellington, 649: Christchurch, 427; and Dunedin, 272. At Masterton and Nelson 133 women and girls -were assisted to work during the year. Although the conditions of work as to wages and hours continue to improve, it will be seen from the reports of the officers in charge of these branches that emphasis is made of the increasing difficulty in securing domestic workers. Of the total number assisted (2,072), 438 were married and 1,634 were single or widows; 381 came from Great Britain, 29 from the Commonwealth, and the remainder from within New Zealand. The -assistance afforded by oversea immigrants was slightly better than in previous years, but the number is still very far short of the legitimate requirements of mistresses.

The number of publications housed in the departmental library continues to grow, and there is now a large number of volumes available dealing with economic, industrial, and social matters in all parts of the world. Particulars of all new volumes added are given each month in the Labour Journal under the heading " Recent Accessions." Many valuable publications have been received during the year, amongst which may be mentioned those issued by the British Board of Trade, dealing with the earnings and hours of workpeople in the United Kingdom. From the United States Government reports have been received dealing with the condition of women and child wage-earners. The determinations of Wages Boards and awards from the several Australian States also continue to be regularly supplied. As has been previously explained, the library is open during office hours to any person interested in social and economic affairs. DEPARTMENTAL PUBLICATIONS. During the year the various awards and judgments of the Arbitration Court and agreements under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act were published in the usual way in the Book of Awards (comprising eleven separate parts). The bound volume for 1912, which is the thirteenth edition, is about to be published, and will contain a complete index of the various recommendations, agreements, awards, and important judgments under the Act since its inception to the 31st December, 1912. This index should prove very useful for reference, and the latest award or agreement in force in each industry is very clearly indicated. Volume xi of " Decisions of the Arbitration Court under the Workers' Compensation Act " for 1912, was also issued. It contains a complete index of cases published in Volumes i to xi, together with a digest of important cases contained in the volume. This digest, together with the digest of the decisions published in Volume xiii of the Book of Awards, was compiled by Mr. W. A. Sim, Barrister and Solicitor, Wellington. The Journal of the Department has also been issued at regular monthly intervals. The information, compiled by the several agents of the Department, as to trade and employment conditions generally is widely read. A very large number of these reports is sent monthly to the High Commissioner for distribution to correspondents inquiring as to employment conditions in New Zealand. I would like to see a larger list of subscribers in New Zealand itself. If the Journal is to be maintained at its present high standard the public must be prepared to give it a more generous support. GENERAL. During the year the correspondence branch has been brisk. There was a total of 13,372 inward letters and 1,439 telegraphic communications, whilst the corresponding figures regarding outward matter were 17,100 and 1,632 respectively. There have also been the usual circulars despatched to occupiers of factories and shops in connection with annual returns required ; notices to the number of many thousands sent out with copies of awards of the Arbitration Court to employers concerned; and the usual large number of circulars dealing with other matters. The work of this branch continues to steadily increase. During the year the Department lost the services of a very valued and zealous officer in Mr. James Shanaghan, who retired on superannuation at the end of December last. Mr. Shanaghan joined the Department in February, 1892 (almost at its inception). During the last seven years of his service he was stationed at Auckland as Officer in Charge. Right throughout his twenty-one years' service Mr. Shanaghan retained the confidence and respect of the departmental officers, and his retirement was viewed with very general regret. Mr. Shanaghan was not only universally popular'in his own Department, but a large circle of friends outside — both employers and workers — testified to his sterling worth as a zealous, painstaking, and thoroughly conscientious Civil servant,

REPORTS OF LOCAL INSPECTORS OF FACTORIES AND AGENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. AUCKLAND. Sir, — Department of Labour, Auckland, 21st April, 1913. I beg to submit the annual report of this branch of the Department, in connection with the administration of the various labour laws, for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. The period under review has been one of steady and solid progress in every respect, both as regards Auckland City and generally throughout the whole province. The large increase of population has had the result of keeping trade of every description busy for the greater part Of the year. Building and allied trades have, as a consequence, kept a large number of men at constant employment, except during the latter part of the period, when, owing to a tightness of the moneymarket, the trade slackened off somewhat. The Auckland City Council and suburban local authorities issued 1,233 building licenses for the erection of buildings (valued at £573,100), a large number of which will be up-to-date factory and business premises. The leather trades do not advance as they undoubtedly ought to do. The bootmaking industry should employ a very much larger number of men than at present. It is stated by manufacturers that this is due to imported boots, which seem to be preferred by the public to the local production, although in some instances the former are of inferior quality. These remarks also apply to the saddlery trade, which is greatly affected by imported goods. The furniture trade experienced a prosperous year, and during part of the period competent tradesmen were in demand, especially in the country districts. The engineering trades have kept going fairly well; at times men have been in demand. but. for the most part of the time matters have been about normal. In the clothing trades there continues the want of female labour, it being claimed by employers that several hundred more female workers could be continuously employed if they were available. Owing to the shortage of workers, clothing which would otherwise be manufactured in the Dominion has to be imported. This is an important matter, and should be given full consideration. Unskilled-labour work has been plentiful, owing to the very large drainage-works in hand in or about Auckland City. Throughout the country districts also a good deal of work has been carried out, although the strikes at Waihi and Huntly caused some considerable disorganization of unskilled labour, by throwing a large number of men on the labour-market. There has not at any time throughout the year, however, been any congestion of labour. The weather has also been a factor in permitting good time to be made by outdoor workmen. A very good year has been experienced by the retail traders. In many old-established businesses a record trade has been done, while the number of shops has greatly increased in nearly every kind of business. The kauri-gum industry is at present in a prosperous condition, consequent upon the high price ruling for that product. It is stated that there are at present over a thousand men employed and earning good wages, and that the prospects indicate that this will continue for some time. Owing to the dry weather experienced the season for this work has been an excellent one. Factories Act. The administration of this Act has been carried out with a minimum of friction, although it occasions a considerable amount of work. Visits of inspection have been made to all factories where hands are employed, and special attention has been given to ventilation and sanitation. With regard to the latter a number of factories are not as satisfactory as they should be, owing to want of drainage facilities, but when the drainage-works now in progress are completed the question will receive attention with a view to improvement. It is also worthy of note that a number of up-to-date factory premises have been erected, and the accommodation provided shows a distinct improvement upon the class of building which was considered satisfactory some years ago. Registration. —The number of factories registered this year is 1,658, employing a total of 12,235 persons; in addition to these, there are 1,869 occupiers actually employed at factory work, thus bringing the number of persons engaged up to 1.5,104. The details are: Male employees, 9,470; female employees, 3,765. These totals show an increase of 50 factories and 1,710 employees on last year's returns. Permits to Young Persons.— Certificates of fitness to work in factories were issued to 504 young persons under sixteen years of age—242 to boys and 262 to girls. This is a decrease of 60 as compared with last year. The 1910 amendment, providing that boys or girls over thirteen years of age and under fourteen who have obtained a certificate of exemption under section 150 of the Education Act, 1908, may be employed. is not generally known, and has therefore not been taken advantage of to any extent.

Overtime. —Permits have been granted to 2,149 boys and women to work 62,449 hours overtime; this is a considerable decrease as compared with the overtime worked last year. Most of the overtime was worked in the following trades : Tailoring and clothing, 850 persons worked 27,670 hours; laundry-work, 195 persons worked 6,775 hours; dressmaking and millinery, 465 persons worked 6,698 hours; printing and bookbinding, 176 persons worked 4,864 hours; sail and tent making, 60 persons worked 3,123§ hours; biscuit and confectionery, 44 persons worked 2,140J hours. Accidents in Factories. —A total of 329 accidents in factories has been reported. Of these, I was fatal, and 58 were moderately serious—viz., loss of eye, leg amputated, loss of thumb, fingers, &c, caused chiefly whilst using circular saws, planiisg-machines, &c. In this connection I may say that when guards to machinery are provided it is often very difficult to get the workmen to take the trouble to use or adjust same, and many accidents are the result of this neglect. The trades in which most of the accidents occurred were —Sawmilling, 100; engineering, 40; joinery, 16; bottling, 15; confectionery-manufacturing, 12; cabinetmaking, 11; coachbuilding, 11; potterymanufacturing, 11; and saddlery-making, 10. The fatal accident occurred to a man whilst oiling the bearings of a coke-elevator. It was the practice to stop the machinery during certain periods each day, and the man's duty was to oil the bearings of the elevator before the machinery" was restarted. On the day the accident happened the man had not finished, and became entangled in the gear. Instructions were given that in future a signal shall be given before restarting the machinery. In all cases careful inquiries were made as to the causes of the accidents, and in many instances it was found that the principal cause was a want of care on the part of the worker. This is often the case, even with the most experienced workmen. Prosecutions. —It has been found necessary to prosecute employers in 28 cases; 23 have been decided, and there are 5 cases yet to be heard. In all the cases heard convictions have been obtained and penalties amounting to £23 10s. imposed, with £10 4s. costs and £3 2s. Inspector's expenses. Of the above cases, 12 were taken in Auckland City and suburbs, and II in the country districts. Particulars of the cases are: Employing workers in laundry after 7 p.m. without permit, 7 cases; failing to keep wages and overtime book, 6 cases; failing to affix labels to garments made in an unregistered factory, 2 cases; failing to report accidents, 3 cases; failing to keep record of garments made outside factor}', 1 case; employing boys under sixteen without certificate of fitness, 1 ease; failing to allow three-quarters of an hour for meal, 1 case; employing female worker after 6 p.m. without permit, 1 case; failing to pay overtime rates, 1 case. In addition to the above, a number of slight breaches was discovered and adjusted. Arrears of wages amounting to £173 19s. B|d. were obtained and paid over to workers; this course has been followed where investigations clearly indicated that the employers had inadvertently committed the breaches. I may say that practically all employers have used their best endeavour to comply with the provisions of the Act, and have assisted the Department by their willingness to carry out any alterations that were deemed necessary. Shops and Offices Act. There were 2,221 shops registered, an increase of 106 over those of the previous year. The number of hands employed was 2,561 males and 1,294 females. In the inspection of shops particular attention has been given to ventilation, air-space, light, sitting-accommodation, and sanitation, especially where the two sexes were employed. Owing to the increased number of females now being taken into shops and offices, some difficulty has been experienced in providing the necessary accommodation in the old buildings, but new buildings are being fitted to meet the requirements of the Act in this respect. The amendment to the Act requiring all shops to be registered in the name of one person only is now working smoothly, and has been the means of inducing many shopkeepers to close at the hour at which the assistants leave. The provisions of the Act relating to hotels and restaurants have received careful consideration. The working-hours have been adjusted to suit the businesses, and little difficulty has been experienced. In some cases, however, where the hours : are arranged in short shifts of a few hours each, the assistants are required to be available for duty, with short intervals between, for fifteen or sixteen hours daily; and there seems to be no remedy for this, as the assistants must be in attendance at the busy hours of the day. The keeping of the holiday-book has caused some trouble, owing to the difficulty of fixing the half-holiday for each employee concerned, and, in some instances, owing to the failure of assistants to sign the book. Shopkeepers who employ assistants have now complied with the provision of the Act requiring them, to keep a wages and time book, and this provision has tended to check irregularities in the payment of wages. The majority of the shopkeepers express approval of the regulation, form of book to be kept, as it has been found to be helpful in other ways relating to the businesses of shops. Requisitions, by which the majority of the shopkeepers in a trade may fix the closing-hours for the trade, are in force in 7 trades in the city district —namely, boot and shoe retailers, bicycledealers, chemists, furnishers and house-furnishers, grocers, hairdressers and tobacconists; also in several other trades in the country districts. The closing-hours have been well observed, and very few T attempts have been made to evade the law. During the Christmas holidays an attempt was made to defy the Act, and 4 shopkeepers were prosecuted and fined. A considerable amount of overtime at stock-taking and special work has been worked in shops,, showing an increase of 2,591 hours over last year. Permits were granted for 1,017 persons, who worked 16,560 h0ur5—12,236 by males and 4,324 by females. Arrears of wages due to assistants amounting to £30 3s. 10s, have been collected and paid to them.

h!—ii
There were 48 prosecutions under this Act. Four cases were dismissed, in 3of which it was held that, although assistants were employed after hours, they were not regular employees. It was, however, admitted that they were handling the goods and assisting to arrange the stock in the shop. In 40 cases convictions were recorded, with costs, against the defendants; the penalties amounted to £55 155., with £19 7s. costs. There were 33 cases heard..in the city and suburbs, and 15 cases in the country districts, in which Inspector's costs to the amount of £6 15s. were allowed. It is pleasing to report that the provisions of the Act have been well observed by shopkeepers generally. There is a strong feeling expressed by shopkeepers that there should be a uniform hour for closing all shops (exempted shops to close at a later hour if necessary) without inconveniencing the general public. This, it is claimed, would make the Act easier of interpretation by the parties. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The administration of the Act has caused a very large amount of work. The extension of awards to the country districts has occasioned a great deal of travelling by Inspectors throughout the Auckland Province—from Hokianga in the north to Lake Taupo in the south. In addition to Auckland and the suburbs, prosecutions for breaches of awards have been taken in the following towns : Dargaville, Thames, Hamilton, Whangarei, Tauranga, Opotiki, Whakatane, Rotorua, Cambridge, Warkworth, Te Awamutu, Pukekohe, and Taumarunui. Complaints to the number of 595 were received from various sources, but in a large number of these no breach was disclosed. One hundred and seventy-six breaches of a minor character which had been committed inadvertently, or which were first offences, were settled out of Court on paj'ment of back wages, a warning being given in each instance. The cases referred to the Magistrates' Court totalled 177, of which 33 were against employees. Convictions and penalties were obtained in 125 cases, 5 cases were dismissed, 8 were withdrawn, and 33 are waiting to be heard. Penalties amounting to £287 12s. were inflicted, with £39 16s. 7d. costs. Of the above cases, 94 were taken in Auckland City and suburbs and 83 in the country districts. In addition to the above, 6 cases were taken by trades-unions. In 4 cases penalties to the amount of £20 ss. were inflicted, with £8 Bs. costs, and 2 cases were withdrawn. Forty-five cases for breach of section 58 of the Industrial' Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, in failing to keep wages and overtime book, have been taken in the Magistrates' Courts —namely, 28 in Auckland City and suburbs, and 17 in the country districts. Conviction was obtained in every case, except one, which was withdrawn, and penalties amounting to £169 Bs. were imposed, with £24 3s. costs. Thirteen breaches were referred to the Arbitration Court; 6of these have been heard; and penalties amounting to £13 imposed; the other 7 cases are waiting to be heard. For a breach of section 3 of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1908, in taking part in a strike, proceedings were taken against the Waterside Workers' Union. The case was dismissed by the Arbitration Court, owing to failure to definitely prove concerted action by the Union. Proceedings were then taken in the Magistrates' Court against the secretary of the union and 24 individual members : of the cases 10 were dismissed and 9 were withdrawn. The secretary of the union was fined £20, with £8 Bs. costs; and in the remaining 5 cases convictions were obtained and penalties amounting to £9 were imposed, with £7 7s. Id. costs. Proceedings were also taken in the Arbitration Court against the Auckland Builders, Contractors, and General Labourers' Union for instigating and taking part in a strike, and a penalty of £60 was imposed, with £15 Is. costs. Arrears of Wages. —Arrears of wages, &c, amounting to £538 14s. 3d., have been collected and paid to workers concerned. Under-rate Workers' Permits. —Under-rate permits have been granted under awards to 35 persons in various trades. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are 26 offices registered under this Act, and, owing to the careful inquiries instituted prior to issue of the licenses, very little trouble has been experienced. One license-holder was prosecuted for failing to keep proper records, and was fined £1, with 12s. costs. Workers' Compensation Act. A large number of inquiries were made in the course of the year by injured persons as to the compensation they were entitled to, and every care was taken to see that their interests were safeguarded. The amendment Act of 1911, providing that agreements as to compensation made between the injured workers and the employers are not valid unless approved by a Magistrate or an Inspector of Factories, has proved very beneficial to the claimants. In this district most of the cases were dealt with by the Magistrate. Workers' Dwellings Act. A large amount of work has been done in connection with the erection of 39 dwellings, which are now nearing completion, at Ellerslie. and Otahuhu. These homes are very popular with the workers, and are in great demand. Many applications have boon received regarding the opening-up of the adjoining sections. Barmaids' Registration. The Act of 1912, permitting further application for registration up to June, 1913, has resulted in a number of additional applications being made. Owing to the qualifying period

of service being considerably over two years ago—viz., the twelve months prior to November, 1910—considerable trouble and time have been expended in dealing with these applications. Employment Bureau. Work has been fairly plentiful. There has not been very much Government work offering, but the local authorities have kept a very large number of labourers employed. Farm hands were, as usual, in great demand during a part of the year. Applications for "work through this office were principally from unskilled labourers; some, of course, were not of the best class, and it was often difficult to place them. Many applications have been received from men unable to do hard work, and desiring clerical work or other employment of a like nature instead. It is only rarely that we have been able to place this class of worker. Conclusion. In conclusion, I have to express my sincere appreciation to all the members of the staff of their conscientious work whilst I have been in charge; also to the police officers and others acting as local Inspectors in the country districts, who have always been ready and willing to forward the departmental work, both during office-hours or after them. I also desire to report that the work of the Inspectors has been greatly lightened by the reasonable manner in which employers have carried out any directions given by the Department. I have, &c, W. Newton, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. WELLINGTON. Sir, — , Department of Labour, Wellington, 21st April, 1913. I havo the honour to submit for your information my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. General. During the period under review the employment of all classes of workers has been generally up to expectations. Taking the manufacturing trades in their alphabetical order, it can be stated that the bootmaking industry has provided practically full-time employment for all workers, the overtime worked being slightly in excess of that of last year. Cabinetmakers have also had a good year; whilst females employed in dress and millinery workrooms have been exceptionally busy. Laundries have also experienced a very busy time, and workers have been in constant demand. The printing and allied trades have furnished fairly constant employment to the workers engaged therein. Shirt and underclothing factories continue to complain of shortage of hands. Tailoring, so far as bespoke trade is concerned, has been faixly busy, notwithstanding the increased output of ready-made suits, whilst the factories engaged in the manufacture of box and chart order clothing have been exceptionally active, and employers are still in need of workers, especially machinists and female apprentices. Woollen-milling has been so busy this year as to require overtime to be worked to twice the extent of that of last year —viz., 7,848 hours as against 3,707 hours for 1912. The shortage of boy and girl labour is said by many employers to be a serious menace to the advancement of the manufacturing industries. The building trades have been steady; the erection of the General Post Office, several theatres, banks, business premises, and other work have provided employment for all workers engaged in the industry. On different occasions during the year there was a considerable demand for plasterers, and carpenters were also in fair demand, while painters had practically no slack time. The Factories Act. During the year there were 1,186 factories registered, being an increase of 9 as compared with last year. Certificates of fitness to work in factories were granted to young persons under the age of sixteen years as follow : To 118 boys and 322 girls, a total of 440, as against 163 to boys and 251 to girls last year. The falling-off in the number of boys applying for certificates is especially significant. Overtime amounting to 61,249 hours was worked in factories by 2,014 boys and females, and this shows an increase of 2,378 hours over that of last j*ear. The accidents reported numbered 97, as against 141 for the previous year. Of these accidents, 85 proved to be of a minor nature, resulting in slight cuts and bruises, &c, 9 resulted in loss of joints of fingers, 1 in severance of left hand, and 2 were fatal, one man being crushed in a lift which he was using contrary to instructions, whilst the other worker had his clothing caught in moving machinery and was carried round, eventually dying from the injuries so received. There has been but little difficulty experienced in the carrying-out of the provisions of this Act, and it is specially pleasing to report that no cases have been taken before the Court. All factories have been visited and inspected, and strict compliance with the provisions of the Act has been required from all occupiers, and especially where food is prepared for human con-

sumption. Several alterations to bakehouses were ordered, and these have been satisfactorily attended to. Prosecutions. —As previously stated, no cases were taken under the Act. I desire again, however, to bring under your notice that the limit of time during which an information must be laid under section 6 for offences against sections 32, 38, and 54 is too short for practical purposes. For instance, after becoming aware of a breach having been committed the offender may be found to have left the district, and therefore may be difficult to locate. By the time his whereabouts are discovered it is sometimes too late to lay the information. I suggest, therefore, that the limit should be extended to six months to prevent wrongdoers from escaping citation. Shops and Offices Act. The inspection of shops, including licensed and private hotels and restaurants, carried on throughout the year proved that on the whole employers had paid proper attention to the requirements of the Act. Very strict attention is given by the City Council Inspectors to the supervision of butchers' shops, dairies, restaurants, and similar places open for the sale of articles for human consumption. This inspection has had a good effect, and has removed some of the causes for complaint which hitherto existed as to the proper cleanliness and sanitation of these premises. As has been pointed out in previous reports, the existence of so many requisitions fixing closing-hours in the various kinds of trades necessitates constant vigilance on the part of Inspectors. lam of opinion that the fixing of a general closing-hour of, say, 7 p.m. on ordinary nights and 10 p.m. on the late night would remove much of the difficulty of inspection which at present exists. Overtime —The amount of overtime worked by shop-assistants (8,766 hours) is just about half of what was worked last year. Hotel and restaurant assistants to the number of 95 were granted permission to work overtime to the extent of 2,024 hours, a considerable increase over last year's total of 672 hours. Employers continue to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded them by section 7 of the Amendment Act, 84 notices of arrangement with employees to allow accumulation of holidays having been received. Permission to employ hotel assistants on the usual half-holiday was granted under special circumstances in 35 instances. Servants Registry Offices Act. There were 7 renewals of licenses and 4 original applications granted during the year. Regular inspection of the books and records of these offices revealed no breaches of the Act, but the practice of charging the engaged employee more than the suited employer still exists to a considerable extent. Workers' Compensation Act. The provisions of the Amendment Act which require agreements of settlement to be approved by either a Magistrate or an Inspector of Factories have caused considerable additional work during the year. Every endeavour has been made to deal equitably between the parties concerned —namely, the insurance companies, the employers, and the workers. The amount of compensation involved in the agreements approved of by me totalled £3,050 19s. Bd. i Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The period under review has been marked by four strikes of a more or less serious nature. In three of these the men concerned were ships' firemen and trimmers, whilst in the remaining one the slaughtermen at Petone and Ngahauranga were involved. None of the strikes came within the provisions of the Act, and therefore no action was taken by the Department. In one instance a steamer engaged in the Wellington-Lyttelton ferry service was put out of commission for six days owing to the appearance of a paragraph in the Press which th<; men alleged reflected seriously on them. The cause of the trouble in the two other cases, in which firemen were concerned, was that an insufficient number of hands was alleged to be employed in the stokehold, thus entailing an unreasonable amount of work on those who were then engaged. In these instances the two steamers concerned were idle for five and seven weeks respectively. The slaughtermen's strike (which took place in other districts also) was the outcome of the freezing companies' refusal to grant the men's demand for an increase of ss. per 100 on the ruling rate for killing. The factories were idle for some three weeks, when other men (nonunionists) were engaged in the strikers' places; work was gradually resumed, and the strike eventually " fizzled out." The administration of the provisions of the Act and of the various awards and industrial agreements in force has entailed a considerable amount of work in the way of both general inspection and in the investigation of breaches or alleged breaches reported. During the year the number of complaints received was 331. In a considerable number of cases the Department had reasonable grounds for believing that the offences discovered were due to inadvertence, and these were settled by a letter of warning being sent or arrears of wages where due being paid. The amount of £82 12s. 6d. was recovered in this way and paid to the workers concerned. Prosecutions. —It was found necessary to take 98 cases before the Court. Of these, 86 were for breaches of awards or agreements —viz., 71 against employers and 15 against workers. The majority of these cases were taken before the Magistrate, 84 having been dealt with in that Court, whilst 2 were taken before the Arbitration Court. Favourable judgments towards the Department were given in 77 cases, and penalties amounting to £67 ss. were imposed; 8 cases

were dismissed on account of insufficient or contradictory evidence, whilst 1 was dismissed as an excusable breach. In 2 cases defendants appealed to the Arbitration Court, which dismissed the appeal in both instances. Proceedings were also taken against employers in 10 cases for failing to keep a wages and overtime book under section 58 of the Amendment Act. Convictions were obtained in each instance, and fines amounting to £11 imposed. One employer was prosecuted for making wilfully false entries in wages and overtime book, and a conviction was obtained and a fine of £3 imposed. A case taken during the previous year against an industrial union of workers for instigating and aiding an unlawful strike was appealed against by defendants during the period under review. The Arbitration Court upheld the appeal, reversing the Magistrate's decision by which the union was convicted and fined £100 and when the case was referred back to the Magistrate he accordingly dismissed it. The following is a tabulated statement showing number of cases for breaches of awards and agreements taken before the Court, with details of the offences: — Against employers— Failing to pay the minimum wage ... ... ... .. ... 27 Failing to pay overtime rates ... ... ... .. ... 2 Failing to pay travelling time ... ... ... .. 1 Failing to give preference to unionists ... .. ... ... ... 9 Failing to pay wages weekly ... ... ... .. . . ...13 Failing to provide sanitary conveniences for use of workmen .. ... 2 Failing to employ a stableman in stables where more than fourteen horses were used 1 Failing to notify Inspector of employment of apprentice ... ... ... 3 Failing to employ a trimmer on Sunday morning shift... ... ... ... 1 Employing a fireman at other work than attending to steam, water, and stokehold machinery ... ..." ... ... ... ... ... ... 1 Employing a driver in excess of weekly limit of hours prescribed ... ... 1 Employing a carter in the bakehouse ... ... ... ... ... 1 Employing a boy casually ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 Employing more than the proportion of assistants to journeymen ... ...

Very few workers have apparently found it necessary to take advantage of the " underrate" clause in the various awards, and, as a rule,'the unions concerned in the cases above mentioned were in accord with the Department's action. I have, <fee, D. Carmody, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. CHRISTCHURCH. j4 ih> . Department of Labour, Christchurch, 15th April, 1913. I beg to submit my report on. the administration and the working of the various labour laws, awards, industrial agreements, and other work of the Department in this district for the year ending 31st March, 1913. The year just closed has been well up to former years in volume of business done, in goods manufactured, and in matters pertaining to the welfare of the workers in this district. The recent strike of the slaughtermen at the different freezing-works in the Canterbury District, however, caused a cessation of work in these factories for some considerable time, and resulted in a loss of wages to the strikers and to many other workers in allied trades. The difficulties were eventually tided over, and at the present time the works are in full operation. In all other respects the year just passed has been a very successful one. Many retailers report a steady increase in their annual takings. Workers in the various manufacturing trades have had fairly good employment, have been nearly constantly employed, and in no trade has there been a slump.

H.—l3=
Towards the end of the year there was a slight slackening-off in speculative operations, on account of a hardening of the rates of interest, as a result of the tightness of the money-market. The building trade in every branch has had a very busy year. Indeed, in some branches workers have been difficult to obtain. Many fine buildings have been erected in the centre of the city, and factory premises have been improved. No doubt much of the rebuilding has been caused by the steady increase in the value of central sites. In the suburbs building has gone on apace, the town is being extended in all directions, and now covers a very large area. Unskilled labour has been plentiful in the towns, but in the country districts an outcry has, at certain periods of the year, been raised at the difficulty in getting workers. It is stated that the difficulty has to some extent been the dearth of dwellings suitable for married couples in country districts. If suitable dwellings were available for workers in the farming centres, no doubt many of those persons now working in the towns would avail themselves of the opportunity to take up country work, and in this way help to solve the difficulty of obtaining labour in country districts. The extension of the tramway up the Port Hills, to Spreydon and to other districts, has found employment for many unskilled labourers, and some difficulty was experienced in supplying hands for the extension of the railway at the Cass and for the tunnel .works at Otira. Factories Act. The administration of this Act has not been difficult, as employers were well conversant with its provisions. A careful inspection has been made to see that proper ventilation and sanitation have been provided; also, that fire-escapes have been erected in accordance with the Act. Wages and time books have been examined to see that the workers have received their proper wages and increases when due. Due. consideration was also given to the various awards and industrial agreements in respect to the wages paid, time worked, &o. Some complaints were received as to the necessity of heating arrangements for workrooms, and in every case representations were made to the employers concerned, who willingly provided the means of increasing the temperature of the workrooms. It would be advantageous to provide for the heating of workrooms in any future amendment of the Act. It has been found necessary to take proceedings in 25 cases against the occupiers of factories for various offences —viz., 8 for occupying unregistered premises; 9 for employing assistants longer than the prescribed hours; 4 for employing assistants under sixteen years of age without first obtaining certificates of fitness; 2 for failing to report accidents that happened in factories; and 2 for failing to pay wages on due date. Judgment was given in favour of the Department in every case, and the penalties amounted to £17 ss. The total amount of arrears of wages collected by the Department under this Act was £103 ss. 3d., which was paid over to the various workers concerned. During the year 1,271 factories were registered, in which 10,808 workers were employed —viz., 7,312 males and 3,496 females. There were also personalty engaged as employers, managers, and others, 1,338 males and 192 females. Certificates of fitness to work in factories were issued to 417 young persons under sixteen years of age—viz., 194 males and 223 girls. During the year 2,407 males (under the age of sixteen years) and females worked 79,389 hours overtime. The number of accidents reported during the year shows a substantial decrease on the previous period's figures, the total dropping from 145 to 111. Of that number, the usual large majority were only slight,, resulting in more or less grievous cuts or scratches, and generally they were the outcome of carelessness or sky-larking,on the part of the workers injured. Twelve may be termed serious. One employee was severely burnt about the face when firing a boiler, and in the other cases broken bones or severe cuts, necessitating amputation in more than one case, were the outcome. In 3 instances death resulted. One of these was exactlj similar to that reported last year —the unfortunate man's clothes were caught, and he was whirleo round the shafting, death resulting instantly. In the second case, a brewery employee was suffocated by the fumes of the fermented liquor, which had been drawn from a vat. In the last case the deceased was fatally crushed by the endless chain of a coke-elevator. I would reiterate my former suggestion that some provision be made forbidding the dangerous practice of putting on belting on moving machinery, by which the first of these fatalities was caused, as the list of such accidents is mounting higher and higher each year. Shops and Offices Act. The scope of the operations of this Act have been extended during the past year in that a movement has taken place in respect to early closing, the shopkeepers in several additional trades having availed themselves of the provisions of section 25 of the Act by fixing their closinghour. There was also a tendency in these " requisitions "to shorten the hours. There are 1,348 shops in this district, employing 2,002 males and 1,290 females. It was necessary to take 33 cases against shopkeepers for failing to comply with the provisions of the Act. These included the following : Failing to close in accordance with " requisition " by which the majority of the shopkeepers had fixed the closing-hours, 13; failing to close on statutory closing-day, 11; employing assistants later than prescribed time, 3; employing assistants on half-holiday, 2. Judgment was given in favour of the Department in 32 cases, and 1 was dismissed. The penalties amounted to £19 15s. The amount of £8 Bs. 10d., arrears of wages, was collected and paid over to the various employees.

Permits for overtime were granted for special work, such as stocktaking, &c. 1,355 assistants worked 19,780 hours —viz., 744 males worked 12,296 hours, and 611 females worked 7,511 hours. Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act. A fair number of farms and sheep-stations were visited during the past year, and in a few cases employers were called upon to make improvements. In most cases the requisitions were cheerfully complied with, and in a few cases only have the employers resented the demands made. The worst cases of accommodation discovered, were generally in connection with threshing-mills, which travel from place to place, sometimes late in the evening, and where it was sometimes necessary to pitch camp on damp, muddy ground, &c. Inspections were made in the following districts: Amberley, Waipara, Waikari, Hawarden, Culverden, Hanmer, Pigeon Bay, Methven, and Chertsey. I'understand a complete set of regulations under the Act will be issued shortly, which will clearly specify the accommodation to be provided on farms and stations for the convenience of the workers employed, Men's Employment Bureau. In this branch the year just past 'has been a particularly busy one, and work has been secured for almost all callers. There was practically no unemployment difficulty during the winter, as plenty of work offered at the time on the various, public works at Mina, Cass, and Otira. Farm-work has also been fairly plentiful, and employers' needs have been readily attended to. The chief trouble in dealing with this work has been the difficulty in finding suitable employment for workers, who, by reason of sickness or general incapacity, have been unable to undertake the heavier forms of labour offering. Some men also objected to leaving the town, and it was these and the previously mentioned class who were hardest to deal with. The records for the year show that 1,079 men —226 married and 853 single, with a total of 700 dependants—have been placed in employment, of which number 592 were engaged on various Government works and 487 by private individuals. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. During the past year there has been the usual large number of new awards and industrial agreements made, necessitating vigilance on the part of the Inspectors. The number of complaints made by secretaries of unions and others shows no diminution, and, as is usual in these cases, a large number on investigation were found to be either trivial offences or breaches committed by the employer in ignorance. When making the usual inspection of factories or shops Inspectors have discovered a number of breaches of awards, and those wilfully committed have caused the offenders to be brought before the Court. When errors have been, made by employers or their servants, or where an award has been misread, the Department has allowed the employers to correct matters by the payment of the arrears due to the various workers. Where doubt has existed as to the meaning of a clause of an award or agreement, appeal has been made to the Arbitration Court in the form of an application for interpretation. The following amounts (arrears of wages, (fee.), totalling £141 10s. Bd., have been collected from employers, and paid over to the workers concerned in the following trades : Boot trade, £7 6s. 2d.'; coach-workers, £24 19s. lOd. ; dairymen, £11 16s. Bd.; drivers, £7 lis. lid.; labourers, £14 Bs.; metal-workers' assistants, £6 16s. 6d.; moulders (iron and brass), £21 1.65. 4d.; tailoring trade (order), £5 16s. Bd. ; tailoresses and pressors (factory), £13 is. 2d.; also sundry amounts in nine miscellaneous trades. The cases for breaches of awards and industrial agreements taken before the Court number 47 against employers and 10 against workers; 48 cases were decided in favour of the Department; 6 were dismissed; 1 was referred to the Arbitration Court by the Magistrate; and in 2 cases judgment was reserved. Several of the cases dismissed were taken to get an interpretation of the award, and no costs were given against the Department. The total amount of penalties for breaches of awards was £51 15s. The number of prosecutions for breaches of the various awards and Acts shows a falliug-off, and indicates that employers are becoming more familiar with the Acts or awards under which they are bound. The following is a return showing the number of cases taken before the Court with the particulars of offences: — Against employers — Failing to pay minimum wage to journeymen ... ... ... 24 Failing to pay overtime rate ... ... ■■• ••• ■•■ 1 Charging employees a higher rate for board than provided by award ... 4 Employing an assistant later than the prescribed time ... ... 3 Discharging a shearer because he refused to shear wet sheep ... ... 1 Failing to notify the secretary of the union of the engagement of a nonunionist ... ... ■•• -■■ ■•• ••- ■•■ ° Miscellaneous ... •-■ -•■ ••• ■•• ... 11 Total ... ••■ •-■ ••• ••• 47 .Against employees — Leaving employment without giving employer a week's notice ... 3 ' Working for less than the minimum wage ... ■•■ ••■ ' Total ... ... ... ..- •-■ 10

Four cases were taken against employers for* failing to keep a wages and overtime book Decisions m favour of the Department were given in all cases. Penalties, amounting to £2 15s and costs, were imposed. Permits to Under-rate Workers. The provisions is some of the awards making it compulsory for applicants to serve five years at the trade before they are entitled to an under-rate worker's permit has restricted the number of applicants for permits. Some of those issued were to old men, and the issue of permits in these cases will no doubt be a recurring one. Seventeen such permits were issued by the Department. J r Workers' Compensation Act. Since this Act has become better known greater interest has been taken in the procedure for the recovery of compensation. The Amendment Act of 1911, making provision that agreements for the settlement of compensation claims for permanent injuries must be approved by either a Magistrate or an Inspector of Factories before the settlement becomes binding, has caused employers and employees to make careful inquiries at this Department as to the amount of compensation payable or claimable. Advice has been given to hundreds of inquirers. This amendment of the Workers' Compensation Act has considerably increased, the work of the office, but has given general satisfaction to those affected. The following is a list of the settlements of compensation for permanent injuries which were approved : — Total Compensation. £ s. d. Loss of sight of left eye ... ... ... ... ... 85 14 4 Loss of part of middle finger of left hand ... ... ... 32 310 Loss of thumb and forefinger ... ... ... 176 8 0 Left leg fractured ... ... ... ... ... ... 150 0 0 Muscles of arm ruptured ... ... ... ... 70 0 0 'Sinews of forefinger cut ... ... ... ... 60 0 0 Injur;\' to chest through being run over by cart ... . .. 12 0 0 Fnjurv to forefinger by knife cut ... ... ... ... 71 0 9 Loss of joint of middle finger . ... ... ... ... 34 18 9 Right foot crushed and small toe amputated ... ... ... 160 17 4 Injury to left arm through falling off a building ... . 84 18 9 injury to head through horse pulling back ... ... 800 Loss of two joints of finger ... ... ... ... ..'. 45 16 0 Loss of forefinger of left hand ... ... ... ... 45 3 0 Loss of three fingers and one joint of finger ... ... ... 1.79 10 7 Injury to left leg ...

Workers are realizing the benefits to be derived under this Act, and many of those holding long leases of dwellings have decided to purchase them under the system inaugurated by the Act of 1910. In a few other cases where the leases have lapsed, and the dwellings are in occupation of monthly tenants, the latter have also availed themselves of the provisions in the Act, and are purchasing them on the system therein laid down. Six new- dwellings have been erected at Addington during the period under review, thereby using up all the available land at Sydenham and Addington. The whole of the supervision of the dwellings erected has been carried out by Mr. Stringer, the Scaffolding Inspector, acting as clerk of works, with very satisfactory results. A small block of land has been recently purchased at North-east St. Albans, and a number of the sections have already been applied for. There are now 51 dwellings in this city, either in occupation by leaseholders or on monthly tenancy, or by purchasers under the new system. The work in connection with the reletting of unoccupied dwellings, and the attention and supervision given to repairs, &c, has been heavy. My statutory duty as a member of the Workers' Dwellings Board for this district has necessitated visits being made to Ashburton, Timaru, and other districts for the inspection of land offered to the Government for workers' dwellings, and the proposal to extend the operation of the Act to the country districts will probably have the effect of improving the lot of the country worker, will provide him with a home with all conveniences, and put him on a footing with the town worker. Barmaids Registration Act. In consequence of the above amendment many additional applications have been made by barmaids for certificates of registration. Careful investigations as to period of previous service and character have been made in all cases. Women's Employment Branch. This branch has been of great service to employers and employees in this district, and has succeeded in placing all suitable applicants for employment. The same difficulty as last year

has been experienced in getting suitable female labour for domestic service, and, indeed, for various manufacturing occupations. Many who had decided before leaving England to reside in this district were offered employment on their arrival in Wellington, the first port of call, and in consequence the time taken in making arrangements for their employment here has been wasted. A separate detailed report is furnished by Mrs. Way, the officer in charge of the Women's Department here. Servants' Registry Offices Act. Careful supervision has been made under this Act to see that its provisions have been properly carried out, especially in respect to the charges made for engagements. Care has been taken also to see that new applicants for licenses are fit and proper persons to conduct servants' registry offices. .The return taken last year from the books of the registry-office keepers disclosed the fact that the employees generally were charged an unfair proportion of the fees payable for engagements; indeed, in many cases it was shown that many of the employers had not been charged the full fee prescribed, and in other cases they had failed to pay anything at all. The regulations just gazetted providing for a more equitable payment by the parties to engagements should give very satisfactory results, and will tend to compel registry-office keepers to make a charge on the employers for engagements made. During the year 3 licenses were cancelled, 7 were renewed, and 6 fresh licenses were issued, making a total this year of 13 registry-office keepers in Christchurch. I renew my suggestion that provision should be made in any future amendment of the Act for the registers kept by registry-office keepers to show dates of engagements, also the fees paid by workers and employers. The present book of engagements as laid down by the Act does not make such provision. General. During the year under review the correspondence has been considerable; 5,659 letters, 9,900 circulars, and 890 telegrams were sent outwards. In conclusion, I have to thank the officers of other departments, also the officials of the various unions, for their courtesy and assistance in supplying information when required. It is satisfactory to note that the rulings or opinions given by the Department have generally been accepted by the persons concerned. 1. have, &c, W. H. Hagger, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. DUNEDIN. Sir, — Department of Labour, Dunedin, 21st April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report on the work of this Department, together with a brief summary of the condition of trade during the year ended 31st March, 1913. The year has been one of steady progress; trade has been well maintained and employment in nearly all skilled industries has been plentiful. The building trades have been busy, and several large and imposing edifices which were in hand a year ago have been completed, and are now in use. At present there is a number of large buildings in course of construction, some of which are for business premises, and others are for the purpose of education, recreation, and amusement, as well as a number being built for residential purposes. The only branch of this industry that suffered through real slackness was stonemasonry. Some of the masons were unable to find employment at their trade for several months, but they are now in regular work. There were others, of course, who lost time on account of wet weather, and through shifting from one job to another, but there is nothing to indicate that the past year has been worse than usual in that respect. The engineering and iron trades, with the exception of fitting and turning, have had a satisfactory year; although there has been no gieat rush, employment has been regular. The complaint often heard in this trade is that the industry is not sufficiently protected through the Customs to enable firms to compete with many stock lines now imported. Boot and shoe manufacturing has been busy, and there has been an almost continuous demand for labour, especially for females for the upper-closing department. There is no doubt that if hands were available considerably more trade could be undertaken. Other branches of the leather trade, such as saddle and harness making, leather-bag and portmanteau making, have maintained a good steady trade. Woollen-mills and hosiery-works have been very busy, and the full limit of overtime allowed by law has been worked. This industry is cramped for the want of female labour, especially the hosiery portion of it. The clothing-manufacturing trades have had a very satisfactory year. The factories have been much busier than usual, owing to Government contracts for military uniforms; but apart from this special work, I understand that orders came to hand more freely than usual, with the result that some of them had to be reluctantly refused. The order-tailoring line went through its usual busy and slack periods, but, on account of the scarcity of male workers, there was very little lost time during the. slack seasons. Dressmaking and millinery, like tailoring, also have their busy and slack periods, but in the main employment appears to have been fairly regular. Felt- and straw-hat making has provided steady employment for all engaged in this calling.

Biscuit and confectionery making has been very busy, and a good deal of overtime was necessary in order to cope with orders. Other industries such as brushmaking, matchmaking, condiment, patent medicine, and jewellery manufacturing have all been busy, and there has been no loss of time through slackness. Furniture-manufacturing has been busy in all branches, and there have been no tradesmen idle. Unskilled labour : This class of worker has also been better employed than for several years past; at no period has there been any great difficulty experienced in finding employment for those anxious to avail themselves of it. There have been times when the names of men who could not be placed were on the books, and at the same time there were vacant positions which could not be filled, but these are the ordinary difficulties experienced in every labour bureau; in the main the employment branch has been able either to place most of the applicants or to advise them where to get employment. Factories Act. The requirements of this Act have, on the whole, been well observed by employers, and, although in several instances fairly large sums of money had to be expended by manufacturers or owners to bring workrooms into conformity with its provisions as regards fire-escapes, ventilation, and sanitary improvements, very few have demurred. Of all the labour laws, this is the most thoroughly understood, consequently there is less friction in its administration. All factories have been visited, and very few irregularities discovered either in regard to working-hours, wages, or other conditions. On the contrary, improvements were noticeable in many factories. In addition to the factories in the local district, several in the country districts were visited. The number of factories registered was 1,153, employing 10,001 persons—viz., 6,503 males and 3,496 females. There were also personally engaged in the factories as employers, managers, and others, 1,183 males and 188 females. These figures show a decrease of 3in the number of factories. Of the males 285 and of the females 321 were under sixteen years of age. Overtime. —The number of hours of overtime worked by boys under sixteen years of age and women totalled 91,896. This shows an advance of 6,045 hours on last year's figures. The principal trades working overtime were:— Persons. Hours. Biscuit and confectionery ... ... ... ... 208 9,715 Clothing-manufacturing ... ... ... .... 604 33,326 Dressmaking and millinery ... ... ... ... 376 8,381 Printing and bookbinding ... ... ... ... 172 7,964 Shirt-making ... ... ... ... 200 4,593 Woollen-milling ... ... , ... ... ... 147 10,698 Permits to Young Persons. —Four hundred and nine certificates of fitness to work in factories were issued during the year —viz., 158 to boys and 251 to girls. This is an increase of 37 on last year. Prosecutions. —Five cases for infringements of the Act were taken during the year, but in no case is there call for special mention. Conviction was obtained in each instance, and penalties and costs totalling £5 were imposed; while in eleven other instances where breaches of a trivial nature were discovered warnings were given without recourse to the Court. In the interests of public health it was found necessary to send notices to two bakers that their premises would not be again registered as factories, and sufficient notice was given to allow them to obtain other suitable premises. In all matters pertaining to sanitation I have had the willing assistance of Mr. Cameron, of the Public Health Department, and his services have been much appreciated. Accidents. —There were 122 accidents reported during the year. These were all fully inquired into, and all necessary information and advice given to the injured workers. The most serious was the loss of the greater portion of a thumb in a circular saw. In no instance were accidents attributable to faulty or insufficient guarding of machinery. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 1,396 shops were registered, in which 1,674 males and 1,041 females were employed, making a total of 2,715. In addition to these, there are 1,168 male and 397 female occupiers engaged in the various businesses. Compared with last year's returns, this shows an increase of 71 shops and 82 assistants. Thirty-one breaches of the Act were discovered, and 22 prosecutions were instituted. Penalties and costs amounting to £24 9s. were imposed. In 9 cases a warning was given that repetition of the offence would be followed by prosecution. The sum of £18 ss. 3d., arrears of wages, was recovered, and paid to the workers interested. Overtime. —ss7 assistants worked 7,460 hours overtime. This shows an increase of 653 hours as compared with last year's returns. Inspection. —The shops have all been visited by Inspectors, and' very little cause for complaint was found. The most frequent difficulty was with the comparatively small shopkeeper for not keeping his wages and time book properly entered. This is generally due to carelessness or pressure of business, but it is calculated to lead to trouble if the warnings given are not heeded; otherwise there has been very little trouble with the majority of shopkeepers in the observance of the Act. Complaints are frequently made by employers of labour in regard to those employing no labour remaining open at night after the other shops are closed, and I believe that an amend-
PL—ll
12
merit to the Act compelling all shops (other than confectioners and the like) to close at a specified hour would be welcomed. The feeling in favour of observing Saturday afternoon as the half-holiday is growing, but I am not sure that a majority of shopkeepers are as yet favourable to it. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The number of alleged breaches of awards reported to this office during the year was 391, an increase of 56 on the number reported last year. Thorough investigation was made into each complaint, and in 154 instances breaches were found to exist, but were mainly of a trivial nature, or due to oversight. In 45 cases applications for enforcements were made, and in 35 of these penalties and costs totalling £48 15s. 4d. were imposed, hi 3 cases breaches were recorded merely without penalty, and in 3 the Department was nonsuited, while 4 cases were dismissed. In several cases the Department was not successful owing to the ambiguous wording of the awards in question, and were more in the nature of applications for interpretations, or in order to settle vexatious points arising in the administration of the awards than with a view to obtaining penalties. In 49 instances it was discovered that the full award rate of wages was not being paid. This was mainly due to the copies of the new awards not coming to hand in good time, or to awards being made to operate retrospectively. A total of £244 14s. Bd., back wages, was recovered and paid to the workers concerned. The principal amounts were under: Coal-miners' award, £11 45.; Drivers' award, £14 12s. Id.; Engine-drivers' award, £11 95.; Hotel-employees' award, £14 6s. 6d.; Woollenmilling award, £135 18s. 6d.; also sundry amounts in 10 miscellaneous trades. Two charges were laid under the Act for failing to keep overtime and wages book, and in both cases penalties and costs, amounting to £4 25., were imposed. Under-rate workers' permits were issued to 24 persons, including 6 issued by unions. There is no doubt that the work in connection with the awards made under this Act is steadily growing; at times the office is inundated with complaints, and each person is anxious that his complaint should have immediate attention. In quite a large number of these cases it is found that there is no actual ground for complaint, and it would be a saving of expense to the Department, also of some annoyance to employers, if a little more care were used before alleged breaches were referred to the Department. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are 14 licensed registry offices in this district, two having obtained their licenses this year, the others having been, in business for some time. One license-holder was prosecuted for keeping servants as lodgers, and a penalty of 10s., with 7s. costs, was imposed. Several complaints were made to this office against license-holders, but inquiries went to show that there was not any cause for them. Workers' Dwellings Act. This Act has not been so largely availed of as has been the case in other centres. The reason 1 assign for this is that a large proportion of the skilled workers already own their dwellings, ■and therefore the demand for cottages is not so acute as would otherwise be the case. Two applications have been received, and cottages are in course of erection for the applicants. The cottages already built have been well occupied throughout the year. They have been thoroughly renovated, and the hot-water system and a sewer-drainage system installed. The whole of this work, and also the erection of new dwellings, has been successfully carried out under the supervision of the Inspector of Scaffolding. Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act. There are only a few sheep-stations within this district. Two sheep-stations and 1 farm were, however, visited by Inspectors from this office. In 2 instances these inspections were made in consequence of complaints received stating that the accommodation for shearers and agricultural labourers was not in accordance with the Act, but in both instances it was found that the complaints were not justified. Workers' Compensation Act. This Act is working satisfactorily, and has been of great benefit to many workers who have had the misfortune to meet with accidents. In all cases where accidents in factories and on buildings were reported to this office the cause of each was inquired into, and information was given to the injured as to the amount of compensation and medical expenses to which they were entitled. There was also a number of accidents that happened to persons who were not employed in factories or on buildings, and many of these people called at this office for information and advice. Employment Bureaux. Women's Branch.—See separate report by the officer in charge, page 44. Men's Branch. —The number of men assisted to employment for the year was 893. Of these, 564 were single and 329 were married, with 1,150 dependants. For the most part those seeking employment and who obtained it through this office were of the unskilled-labour class. 476 were placed with private employers and 417 on Government works.

GISBORNE. Sir, — Department of Labour, Gisborne, 24th April, 1913. 1 have the honour to submit my annual report on the working of the Department in Gisborne during the year ending 31st March, 1913. I have to report that prosperous times have continued throughout the year. Excellent prices have been obtained for local products, and a considerable area of new land has been opened up. There has been much activity in the building trade, the number of building permits issued by the Borough Council for the year amounting to 303, while the total value of the buildings was £114,192 16s. 6d., an increase of £22,000 over last year. A sewerage system has been installed, and a section of tramway completed, which will be opened for traffic in a few days. The harbour-works are still in progress, and the work done has already effected a considerable improvement to the port. The exports from this port for the year show a total value of £1,217,614, an increase of £145,014 on last year's returns. The opening of a fresh section of the railway has enabled local builders to get the advantage of the district's timber resources to some extent. Factories Act. During the year 200 factories have been registered, giving employment to 1,716 people. Overtime warrants were issued to 144 women and boys to work 3,338 hours. Permits have been issued to 24 young persons under sixteen years of age to work in factories. There were 51 accidents reported, but none of these were such as to cause serious permanent disablement. There were 5 cases taken to the Court for breaches of the Act. Employers are generally observant of the provisions of the Act, and, as a rule, are quite willing to remedy any remissness pointed out to them. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 239 shops have been registered, employing 858 persons. Warrants have been issued to 187 person's to work 2,945 hours overtime. Six cases have have been taken to the Court for breaches of the Act; 5 of them related to restaurants and tea-rooms under the Act of 1910. I have found some difficulty in inducing the occupiers of these establishments to observe the provisions of the Act in regard to the number of hours to be worked. Apart from this there has been no difficulty in administering the Act. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. During the year 6 new awards and industrial agreements have been brought into operation. The Slaughtermen's Union cancelled its registration under the Act, and being thus free to do so without incurring the penalties of the Act, went on strike. No difficulty was found, however, by the employers in filling the places of the strikers, and the output of the meat-freezing works was not materially affected. Legal proceedings were taken against 16 shop butchers who had taken part in an unlawful strike within the meaning of the Act. A fine of £3 and 7s. costs was ordered in each of 7 cases; in 1 case a fine of £1 and 7s. costs; and in another case a fine of £10 and 7s. costs. Two cases were dismissed and 5 withdrawn, as it was shown that the employers had dismissed the men before the strike occurred. The strikers were idle eighteen days, when a few left the district, and the remainder were taken on again under an industrial agreement. Seven, cases have been taken before the Court for breaches of awards and industrial agreements, and a total of £3 10s. fines and costs inflicted. Accommodation for Shearers. During.the year 54 stations have been inspected, covering over 500 miles of travelling. It was found that 20 employers had provided new accommodation or made additions. Notices have been served on 1.0 employers to provide accommodation or to make improvements. In many cases it has been ascertained, that the notices previously issued have been complied with. Section 6 (2) of the Act, requiring notices to be served not later than the first day of June in each year, causes unnecessary complication, as in this district shearing commences about October, and for many reasons the best time for inspection is while shearing is in operation. The same section also requires the notices to be served personally on the employer or by leaving the same at his usual or last known place of residence. There seems to be no reason why a receipt for a registered letter should not be accepted as proof of service. An amendment of the Act in this direction would relieve the Inspector of a. good deal of unnecessary work and the Department of some considerable expense. Employment Bureau. During the year 372 applications for employment were received, and 65 persons have been sent to employment. Very few of the applicants called a second time, and it is fair to conclude that the remainder found employment without the assistance of the bureau. The year has been an exceptionally good one for all classes of labour, but more particularly in the skilled trades. Although skilled tradesmen are likely to find no difficulty in getting employment for some time to come, there are indications that there will be a lessening of the demand for unskilled labour during the coming winter. Several of the municipal works which have employed a considerable number of men during the past year are drawing to a finish, and, generally speaking, as far as the country district is concerned, labour is not much in demand during the winter season.

Servants' Registry Offices. There are 5 servants' registry offices, and all are well conducted. Scarcity of labour lias placed the license-holder somewhat at a disadvantage, as men and women coming into the town have readily found employment without applying to any of the offices. Conclusion. During the year I have extended my visits as far as Te Araroa, in the extreme north of this district, and in doing so travelled some 300 miles on the return trip. I found that the various Acts and awards administered by the Department have been fairly well observed. I have, &c, W. H. Westbrooke, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. NAPIER. Sir, — Department of Labour, Napier, 21st April, 1913. I beg to submit my annual report from this district for the period ending 31st March, 1913. It is gratifying to state, at the outset, that the district has experienced a very prosperous year in every respect. The sheep-farmers have obtained an exceedingly high price for their wool —the highest on. record—and the seasons have been excellent, as the following table of exports shows. The total values of imports and exports from and to the Port of Napier for the year ending 31st March, 1913, are as follows: Imports, £580,844; exports, £1,877,889. The principal products are as follows: Wool, £1,185,233; meats, frozen, £476,008; sheep, without wool, £51,059; sheep, with wool, £5,642; sausage-skins, £8,650; tallow, £43,511; mutton stock and oleomargarine, £7,504; hides, £3,435; horns and hoofs, £147; butter, £24,305; cheese, £55,545; phormium, £4,537; tow, £433: total, £1,866,009. Amongst the remaining items of export not set out are included hair (value, £274) and horses (value, £1,064). The building licenses taken out in Napier during the year totalled in value £65,680. The building and allied trades, also the engineering trades, have experienced a busy year, considerable overtime being worked on country jobs. Sash and door factories and the town sawmills have been busily engaged. The timber forests in Hawke's Bay are, however, getting exhausted, and sawmill-owners have now to go a long way back into almost inaccessible places in order to reach the remaining patches of standing timber. Clothing trades : The tailoring and dressmaking trades have been brisk throughout the year, in many instances the maximum amount of overtime being granted. In numbers of cases employers have not been able to obtain enough hands to meet the demand. Woollen-milling has also had a good year, and the output has been coped with by the hands regularly employed. Retail trades : The volume of business transacted by the various tradespeople throughout the year is stated by them to be very satisfactory. Factories Act. There were 282 factories registered during the year, and visits of inspection have been made to all the principal factories. It is pleasing to report that the administration of the Act has been free from friction; whenever employers had any doubt concerning the provisions, of the Act they usually consulted the Department, and were guided by its advice. Certificates of fitness have been issued to 20 boys and 26 girls under the age of sixteen years to work in factories. In the various trades 4,491 hours overtime has been worked by 12 males under sixteen years of age and 160 females. There have been 38 accidents reported, one of which ended seriously; in this case the worker, who was engaged in the sawmilling industry, was in the act of splicing a wire rope when one of the ends loosened and sprang back in his face, inflicting a severe wound in the left eye; he was removed to the hospital, where the eye was taken out. In every instance the injured worker was covered by insurance. Arrears of wages, amounting to £3 Is. Bd., which had been inadvertently short paid by employers, were recovered by the Department for workers. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 384 shops were registered. It was found necessary to prosecute employers for breaches of the Act in 12 instances; 9 were fined, and 3 convicted and discharged. The fines amounted to £17 Is., and costs £3 3s. Of these cases, 7 were taken in Hastings, 1 in Waipawa, 1 in Dannevirke, and 3 in Napier.

H.—ll.

A number of complaints was settled without recourse to the Court, letters of. warning being deemed sufficient to ensure compliance with the Act. A complete inspection of all the shops has not been effected this year, owing to pressure of business in other departments. Complaints have come to hand during the year as to the allegedly long hours worked by office employees in some of the large stores that come within the exemption clause of section 27. I think provision ought to be made in this section fixing the hours of employment in all these offices, and providing for overtime rates. The total amount of overtime worked in the various shops by 124 males and 59 females was 3,288 hours. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Owing to the number of new awards coining into operation this year, a considerable amount of time has been devoted to the parties cited in order to assist them to comply with the workingconditions of the awards. Legal proceedings have been instituted in 30 cases for breaches of awards; 3 cases were dismissed, in 3 the Department was nonsuited, and in 24 cases fines were imposed, totalling £34 10s., and costs £6 15s. 6d. Costs against the Department amounted to £2 12s. Fourteen cases were heard in Napier, 12 in Hastings, 2 in Waipawa, 1 in Ormondville, and 1 in Dannevirke. Arrears of wages were recovered for workers, under various awards, to the amount of £30 17s. Bd. The following list shows the number of lads that have been apprenticed to the various trades throughout the year: Engineering, 13; blacksmithing and coachbuilding, 4; tailoring, 3; cabinetmaking and upholstering, 3; moulding, 1; boilermaking, 1; painting, 1; carpentry, 1; saddlery, 1 : total, 28. Employment Bureau. The Department assisted 156 applicants to employment during the year. The cessation of the Napier-Gisborne railway-construction, works caused a large number of men to be thrown on the labour-market. These men have since been employed elsewhere. The local electric-tramway construction works are employing a fair number of labourers at present. There has been a big demand for domestic servants, but no supply to meet it. Of the new arrivals from England, very few have made inquiry in this office for employment. Shearers' Accommodation. Under the Shearers and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act considerable attention has been given and time occupied in inspecting the accommodation provided by employers for shearers. Numerous notices have been served on sheep-farmers to comply with the Act, and, as a result, a great amount of comfort has been added to the lot of the Shearer during the season of his work on the stations. Complaints are, however, still made as to the accommodation provided for shearers, especially in remote parts of the district. There were 3 prosecutions under the Act during the year against one employer, who was mulcted in a fine of £5, with £12 lis. 9d. costs. Workers' Compensation Act. Section 10 of the Amendment Act, 1911, which provides that in most cases agreements for settlement of claims for compensation shall not be binding unless approved by a Stipendiary Magistrate or Inspector of Factories, has thrown a serious responsibility on Inspectors, as, amongst other things, it is necessary before signifying approval to ascertain that the injury caused to the worker is not likely to recur. It would, I think, be an advantage to the workers if provision were made that compensation be paid weekly. Injured workers frequently have waited several weeks, and even months, before the}' have secured compensation, and this has sometimes entailed hardship. In only one instance during the year was final approval refused; this was in a case which came before the Stipendiary Magistrate. Owing to the tubercular nature of the accident (the worker having been injured through his finger being pierced by a bone from the dead body of a tuberculous cow), the Magistrate refused to approve unless he had evidence from the surgeon that the man was permanently cured. This was a case where the worker was incapacitated for twenty weeks before receiving his first payment under the Act. Conclusion. During the year practically the whole of the outlying towns of this district have been visited. A general inspection of the shops and factories has been made, and it was found that the labour laws were being fairly well observed. v I have, &c, John Jackson Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

NEW PLYMOUTH. ' Sir, — Department of Labour, New Plymouth, 23rd April, 1913. I beg to submit my annual report of the work of this branch of the Department for the year ending 31st March, 1913. General. Satisfactory conditions of employment and of trade generally have been maintained. Building and drainage permits in the Borough of New Plymouth have been issued to the values of £28,320 and £2,520 respectively. The amount spent on public works in the borough from loan is £2,097 45., and on sewer-extension work £2,121 10s. lOd. Wages paid on maintenance work amount to £4,321. Loans to the value of £42,000 for street and water works, and of £55,000 for electric tramways have been sanctioned by poll of ratepayers, and there is every indication that the present year will be a busy one from a labour point of view. In the various building trades work has been constant and steady, and there has been practically no unemployment; in fact, owing to the erection of a large refinery at the oil-wells, a number of boilermakers and bricklayers lias been imported from the other centres. Butter and cheese factories have had an exceptionally busy year, and a number that formerly dealt with butter only have installed new machinery in the manufacture of cheese. The question of the extraction of casein is also being dealt with in several instances. The meat industry has had a very satisfactory season, and, although a strike of slaughtermen occurred, the local works suffered very little inconvenience. Furniture-manufacturing has been busy throughout the year, and there has been a demand for competent cabinetmakers and upholsterers, whilst sash and door and boxmaking factories have been kept busy, and the prospects are bright. Engineering trades, including cycle and motor work, have kept well up to the average, especially in respect to repair work. In the various branches of the clothing and in the millinery trades business has been good, and a considerable amount of overtime has been worked by the operatives. Retail shops have every reason to be satisfied with the turnover, money having been plentiful, owing to a great extent to the good season experienced. Employment at the local wharf has been fairly constant. Good progress is being made in the petroleum-oil industry. There are three companies operating here at present, and a large refinery for dealing with crude oil is being erected. This industry has provided employment for a large number of skilled and unskilled workers. Men's Employment Bureau. Very little difficulty has been experienced in dealing with the applications for employment made at this office. The total number of men assisted to work was 48, 36 of whom were sent to private employment and 12 to the Government railway-extension works. A number of applications has recently been made by dairy-farmers for youths for milking at wages averaging from 15s. to £1 ss. per week and found, but the supply of this class of labour in the district is below the demand. Factories Act. During the year 242 factories have been registered, as against 230 for the previous year. The number of persons employed was 927 males and 118 females. There have been hours overtime worked by 67 women and boys. Nineteen certificates of fitness to work in factories have been issued to 8 boys and 11 girls under sixteen, years of age. The number of accidents reported is 6, but none of them was of a serious nature. All the factories in the district have been visited, special attention having been given to sanitation and ventilation, and in every case where improvements have been required the request has been readily complied with. There have been 3 prosecutions under the Act, and a conviction recorded in each case, fines, &c, to the amount of £6 2s. Bd. being inflicted. Arrears of wages to the amount of £6 17s. sd. have been recovered from employers and paid to the employees concerned. I have also visited Waitara, Eltham, Urenui, Inglewood, Stratford, Hawera, Patea, Manaia, Whangamomona, and Okato, and have found the provisions of the Act complied with in a satisfactory manner. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 277 shops, including 16 hotels, employing 423 males and I 31 females, were registered. Permits were issued to work a total of 583 hours overtime. The Act is well observed, and only one case has been taken to Court —viz., that of a Chinese shopkeeper, for failing to comply with a gazetted requisition by which the majority of shopkeepers had fixed the closing-hour. A fine of ss. was inflicted, with £1 Is. Bd. costs. At the time of writing the towns in the Taranaki district are being canvassed with the idea of obtaining Saturday afternoon as the statutory half-holiday; shopkeepers generally, however, seem to be against the idea. A thorough inspection of the seating-accommodation for female shop-assistants has been made, and been found to be satisfactory, and much appreciated by the assistants. Special attention has been given to the foodstuff shops, and a number of requests has been made in the matter of cleanliness; in each case the request has been complied with, - - •- •--., 1 i I ■■"'*

H—ll
A number of disputes between employers and employees in the hotels have been referred to this office, chiefly in regard to wages and notice of dismissal or notice to leave. There is no award here covering this particular business, and a_s a majority of the workers come from districts in which awards are in force, a good deal of misunderstanding is caused. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The administration of this Act has taken up a great deal of time during the latter part of the year. Three building-trade awards have been made —viz., carpenters, plumbers, and labourers —and, as none of these industries was previously working under an award, the numerous inquiries made by the parties affected have caused a considerable amount of travelling about for the purpose of adjusting errors and giving information. The Department certainly appears to be of benefit in this respect, and the lack of serious or intentional breaches speaks well for the good feeling existing between employers and workers. Forty complaints have been received, and as the majority of these were in respect of what, on inquiry, proved to be misinterpretation of the meaning of the awards, the matters were, with the exception of 2 cases, settled immediately the error was pointed out. Two cases were taken before the Court, and penalties inflicted in both instances. Arrears of wages to the total amount of £37 Is. Ojd. have been recovered on behalf of employees. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are 3 offices registered in New Plymouth. No complaints have been received in respect to them, and they appear to be well conducted. Workers' Dwellings Act. Inquiries are being made at Waitara and Stratford with a view to the erection of a number of dwellings. Scaffolding Inspection Act. As Inspector of Scaffolding I have paid periodical visits to all scaffolding throughout the district (see separate report). Conclusion. 1 have to thank the various local Inspectors and other officials with whom I have come into contact for the assistance rendered while carrying out my various duties. I have, &c, VV. Slaughter, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. WANGANUI. Sl R; — Department of Labour, Wanganui, 18th April, 1913. 1 have the honour to submit to you my annual report on the work of the Department in the Wanganui district for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. General. The year just closed has been a prosperous one in both town and country. The weatherconditions throughout the year, on the whole, have been favourable to farmers. Good prices were- obtained for wool and dairy-produce, and the season gives promise of being an exceptionally long one. The freezing industry, although retarded somewhat by the strike which occurred in January, has now recovered, and at the time of writing the local woiks are fully staffed, and stock is coming in at a satisfactory rate. The prosperity of the town is reflected in the line buildings which have been erected during the period. There has been no relaxation in the building trade throughout the year, and it is interesting to note that the value of building permits issued by the borough for the year just ended exceeds that of the previous year by £19,266, the figures being 266 permits to the value of £107,144, as compared with 225 permits, value £87,878, for the previous year. In addition to the above, buildings have rapidly been erected in the suburbs, the value of permits issued in Gonviffe alone being £26,594. At the prerent time there is a large amount of work in progress, but future indications point to a slackening-off in the activities of these trades, owing to the tightness of the money-market. The trade of the port has increased considerably. Customs duties for the year ending 31st March, 1913. show an increase of £3,665 over the previous year. The value of the increase in exports for the same period amounts to £184,518, the total amount for the year ending 31st March, 1912, £411,992, and for the year end'ng 31st March, 1913, £596,510. The principal increases in exports are 14,738 carcases of frozen mutton, 20,075 carcases of limb, 6 981 bales of wool, 8,198 boxes of butter, and 2,279 crates of cheese. These figures in themselves are a sufficient indication of the steady development not only of the town, but of the country. Joinery and timber mills have experienced a very satisfactory year, and employment has
3—H. 11.
H.—ll
18
been constant. The furniture trades have also been good. Employment has been steady throughout, and there has been a demand for competent tradesmen. The textile trades have also been quite-up to the standard. At no period of the year has there been any unemployment in these trades, and during the busy periods prior to Christmas and Easter a considerable amount of overtime had of necessity to be worked. The engineering trades have been quiet; the business has been very spasmodic, and confined chiefly to repair work. Printing and bookbinding have experienced a satisfactory year, and no difficulty has been found hy employers in keeping regular hands fully employed. Men's Employment Branch. The number of men calling for employment throughout the year lias been comparatively small. During the earlier part of the period no difficulty was found in assisting all applicants to employment, and the demands for workers in the country were unsatisfied. There is, however, at the present time a surplus of unskilled workers, and, with the closing of the dairying and freezing seasons, the number of men out of employment is likely to increase. Builders' labourers and milkers were in keen demand, and the number of men offering was not sufficient to meet the demand. During the year 57 men were assisted to private and Government work. Factories Act. As in former years, this Act has worked very smoothly, and is so well understood by employers and employees that there is an entire absence of friction. It has occurred that new factories have been erected, and before registration of the same could be effected alterations in the buildings have been found necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act. In two cases the occupiers were put to considerable expense in carrying out the alterations, which would perhaps have been obviated by first submitting the plans to the Department. There have been 302 factories registered, employing 1,807 operatives—viz., 1,388 males and 419 females—an increase of 7 factories and 80 workers over the previous year. Certificates of fitness to work in factories were issued to 51 persons under sixteen years of age —viz., 31 boys and 20 girls. During the year 26 accidents were reported, but none was of a serious nature. Inquiries were made into the causes; in no case was the accident traceable to negligence or defect in appliances. During the year 217 women and boys worked 4,037 hours overtime. This is a slight decrease over the previous year. Only 1 prosecution took place under this Act. Shops and Offices Act. The number of shops on the register is 326, an increase of 23 over the previous year. Warrants for overtime were issued to 299 assistants, who worked 3,579 hours, which is a large decrease over the previous year. These warrants have been issued only where it was shown that the work necessitating overtime was of a special nature. Six cases were taken before the Court for breaches of the Act, as follows : Employing assistants excessive hours, 3; employing assistants on statutory half-holiday, 2; failing to close shop on statutory half-holiday, 1. All the cases were decided, in favour of the Department, the penalties inflicted amounting to £5. Arrears of wages to the amount of £8 Is. -'id. were recovered and paid over to the employees concerned. Special attention has been given to the seating-accommodation for females. Most of the larger shops where females are employed have, at my request, affixed permanent seats behind the counters for the use of the female assistants. All shops, including licensed hotels, have been visited during the year, and very few irregularities have been found, conditions, on the whole, being very satisfactory. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. There were 126 complaints of breaches of awards received and investigated: 17 cases were dealt with in the Magistrates' Court, and convictions were obtained in 15 cases, while 2 were dismissed. Two cases for breaches of section 58 of the 1908 amendment Act for failing to keep wages and overtime book were also taken to Court, and convictions were obtained in both cases. The total fines amounted to £14. The sum of £23 2s. 9d., arrears of wages, has been recovered and paid over to the workers concerned. Six under-rate workers' permits under awards have been issued to workmen. In all cases old age or infirmity was the cause of the application. Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act. A number of sheds was visited during the shearing season, and in cases where notices had been served during the previous season I found that the requests of the Department had been complied with. Only one complaint was received respecting accommodation. In all cases brought under the notice of the Department there was very little difficulty in getting the necessary accommodation or alterations attended to. The main difficulty was that the sheds were situated in scattered parts and that the time during which inspection can be made is limited.
19
H.—ll
Servants' Registry Offices Act. Four licenses have been issued during the year, 2 new ones and 2 renewals. The Act appears to be well observed by the registry-office keepers. A few complaints have, however, been received, owing to employers deducting from the worker's wages the fees which should have been paid by themselves. The amounts were refunded when the irregularity was pointed out to the employers concerned. Workers' Dwellings Act. Thirteen dwellings have been erected during the past year, 6 in the Suburb of Wanganui East and 7at Gonville. The dwellings have recently been completed and taken over by the buyers. Workers' Compensation Act. Many inquiries have been made by workers entitled to compensation as to the mode of procedure in making their claims, and also as to the amount due to them. In all the cases brought under my notice the compensation "due to the worker has been readily paid by the insurance companies. Scaffolding Inspection Act. As Inspector of Scaffolding I have paid visits to all buildings in course of erection; and in the course of those duties I have visited Hawera, Patea, New Plymouth, Taihape, and Marton (see separate report). I have, &c, Henry E. Moston, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. PALMERSTON NORTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Palmerston North, 15th April, 1913. I have the honour to present to you my annual report upon matters receiving the attention of the Palmerston North district office of the Department (hiring the year ending 31st March, 1913. The year has been a very satisfactory one to both employers and employed. Trade generally has been even more encouraging than during the preceding year, retailers being specially congratulatory upon the busines done. Particularly during the Christmas season was this noticeable, several storekeepers declaring that their transactions were more numerous and more profitable than during any previous season within their knowledge. The outlook is still very promising. Outside employment has been fairly plentiful, thanks to the buoyancy of the money-market, and the weather-conditions combined. Several shops, offices, banks, and dwellings have been erected during the year, while other large premises are in course of construction. These, with several anticipated alterations to buildings during the ensuing year, lead one to believe that the labour-market will be also satisfactory for 1913. Building permits to the number of 31, and of the value of £71,128, were granted during the year. The Municipal Corporation paid £9,906 Is. Bd. in wages during the year, while some £10,776 18s. lid. was spent in public works, and £7,000 more is already allocated for the current year. Skilled labour generally has been sufficient to supply the demand. Carpenters have, however, been badly wanted, and in some instances have been advertised for all over the Dominion without success. One employer has paid as much as Is. Bd. per hour to good men. Tailors, tailoresses, and dressmakers have also been badly wanted, and in one or two cases are still required. With regard to unskilled labour, however, there have been a few more unemployed applicants lately than during the previous year. The suggestion, that these men will not go out of the towns, and that plenty of work is waiting for. them in the country, is met with the statement—and there is a large amount of truth in it—that the work on the country farms is not continuous, and that the jobs are so far apart. Until the land ,is more closely settled this will be the difficulty for some years to come. If the work could be so arranged among the farmers so that continuous employment of labourers could be guaranteed for a term, work could be found for all our men, and those men now frequenting the towns might be induced to remain in the country. Men will not risk going into the country to find only temporary employment awaiting them, with the probability of a tramp for miles before they can pick up other work. 150 persons with 69 others depending upon them have been assisted at this office witli railway tickets at reduced fares to places of employment. All were sent to private employment with the exception of one man who was sent to public works. The sum of £84 16s. 9d. was remitted for fares to the Railway Department, of which £21 4s. 2d. is defrayed by the Labour Department. Of the balance, all but £2 7s. lid. has been refunded by the workers concerned, and repayment of this small outstanding amount is guaranteed. Flax-milling. Probably the most important industry affecting the Manawatu district is flax-milling. The following opinions have been expressed by both employers and workers, and may therefore Be said to be a true report on the state of that industry. The hemp-markets throughout the world have seen a substantial increase in prices since this time last year. For this reason the industry in this district as well as in other parts of New Zealand has shown renewed activity, and many mills that have not worked during the recent depression have again, during the season, been in active
H.—ll
20
operation. Although it is almost impossible to predict whether this hardening of the market is going to be maintained, yet from present indications the prospects certainly point to the likelihood of the present prices ruling for another year. In consequence of the improved appearance of the markets, many flax areas have changed hands. Probably at no other time in the history of the industry has there been such a demand for good flax swamps, at prices which should give satisfaction to the vendors. Owing to this activity in the industry and to the improved prices most of the workers have obtained higher rates of wages than the minimum prescribed by the award. The employment of labour at flax-mills is, however, not continuous for the whole year, and during the winter season several of the mills close down. At the present time this closing-down process has commenced. The 1912-13 flax-milling season has been decidedly successful, most of the mills running overtime or double shifts, and this has been responsible for drawing a large body of ■workers to the district. Labour throughout the season has been able to cope with the increased production, the supply generally meeting the demand. Owing, however, to that increase a shortage in the supply of ready green is beginning to be felt, and consequently more than the usual number of mills are closing down for the winter months. The shortage of bleaching-grounds will compel the cessation of night shifts, and the same factor will determine the amount of overtime to be worked by the few mills which do not close down. Several mills are already closing down for the season, throwing some hundreds of men on the labour-market. The prospect, therefore, for the worker during the winter months cannot be regarded in a very favourable light. This, however, is but a usual occurrence, and the position is likely to last only until the mills start operations again in a few months' time when, from present appearances, it is anticipated that a successful season is in store for the ensuing summer. Dairying. This is also an important industry. The season just ended has been, on the whole, a very satisfactory one. The industry has during the past few years grown at a tremendous rate, and, owing to not being able to get experienced men, many of the factories have had to put on inexperienced labour. This applies to both the butter and cheese workers. The past year's transactions show a very large increase in manufacture, thus making the demand for labour very considerable. The prospects for the coming season are for a further increase, and further experienced labour will probably be needed. Regarding the output of both butter and cheese, this largely exceeds that of the previous year, although prices have not been equal. A large number of the factories which have been .making butter in the past have recently turned their attention to cheese, some of them having dual plants, whilst others have actually thrown out butter plants and " gone in " solely for cheese. One particular branch of the dairying industry that has increased very considerably is glaxo, a dried-milk product. Although there is only one factory working in New Zealand at the present time, the output has gone up by leaps and bounds, and the commodity finds a ready market. The business is being considerably enlarged, and is likely to employ a considerable amount of labour. The prospects for the coming season are bright, and it is hoped that prices will be well maintained. The rates of wages paid at various factories are laid down by an Arbitration Court award, but several of the factories are paying over the fixed rate. The accommodation available for workers at the various factories has been well maintained, and many companies have improved the men's accommodation to such an extent as to give them the best of comforts whilst they are off duty. This industry, like the flax-milling, is a seasonable one, and, with the approach of winter bringing about the usual falling-off in the supply of milk, factories reduce their staffs very materially, so that, while during the season there is a shortage of experienced hands, during the winter months many of these workers are out of employment. Future prospects, however, are good, and further expansion may be expected. Factories. The number of factories registered at this office during the year totalled 272—-7 more than last year. In these were employed 31 males, ages fourteen to sixteen; 129, seventeen to twenty; and 1,000 over twenty years of age: total, 1,160. Females: 30, fourteen to sixteen; 103, seventeen to twenty; 157 over twenty : total, 290. Grand total, 1,450. The wages paid amounted to over £93,000. Certificates of fitness, permitting young people under the age of sixteen to work in factories, have been granted to 24 boys and 31 girls —55 in all. During the year 4,070 hours overtime has been worked in 25 workrooms by 181 boys and females. Thirty-two accidents have occurred at 19 factories during the year. None was fatal, and the most serious was the case of the loss of an eye. In no case was the employer to blame in any way. In each case the insurance companies have been at once notified of the accident, and the worker has been made aware of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act. In only two instances was the Inspector consulted as to a final settlement of claims for compensation, and in both cases a satisfactory settlement was arrived at. All the factories within the borough are in a clean and satisfactory condition. In three instances the surroundings were not as cleanly as desirable, and in one case the factory was badly ventilated during the summer months, but upon attention being drawn to the matters complained of the occupiers at once effected the necessary alteration, and remedied the defects.

Shops and Offices Act. There has been 408 shops—nine more than last year —registered. In these, 862 males and 371 females (1,233 employees in all) were employed. The wages paid amounted to over £72,011. Overtime was worked in 21 shops by 163 shop-assistants, who worked 1,520 hours. The shops throughout the district have been in a very satisfactory sanitary condition, and the books have been generally well kept, and up to date. With the shops I include the hotels, the occupiers of which have given very little trouble in this connection. Young Persons under Sixteen Working in Shops. Again 1 would draw attention to the anomaly between the Factories and Shops and Offices Act in that there is no restriction as to the age at which boys and girls may be employed in shops. Time of Payment of Wages. Another matter which is frequently referred to the Department is the question as to when wages should be paid. Under the Factories Act wages must be paid at not longer than fortnightly intervals, but the penalty can only be inflicted if the employer is seven days in arrears (total, 21 days). Under the Shops and Offices Act wages must be paid within the same period, but action can only be taken if the employer is fourteen days in arrears (total, 28 days). Limit of Time in which Cases may be taken into Court. Another and I think more serious anomaly is the limit of time during which cases can be taken into Court. Under the Factories and Shops and Offices Acts prosecution in most instances must be commenced within one month of the offence being committed. It would be an advantage if these Acts were brought into line with the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, in which six months is allowed for this purpose. Prosecutions under Factories, Shops and Offices, Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration, and other Acts, and Cases settled out of Court.. Many warnings have been given during the year, and I am satisfied that those who have received them have endeavoured to comply with the laws, and to prevent a repetition of the offence for which they were warned. Prosecutions have not been entered upon without first giving those concerned every opportunity and facility for keeping their premises in order. Of the cases taken into Court 21 were under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act for breaches of awards. In every case a breach was recorded, and penalties and costs amounting to £29 10s. were inflicted. Nineteen cases were also taken under the Shops and Offices and Factories Act, in which the defendants were convicted and fined, the penalties and costs totalling £16 2s. - A large number of other offences and breaches were inquired into, and in many cases the complaints were found to be either of a trivial nature or unsubstantiated. In these instances no action was taken. In others again the employers were warned, and the disputes settled amicably by the payment, through the Department, of any arrears of wages owing or moneys wrongfully deducted. In this connection £175 7s. .Id. was recovered by this office and handed over to the workers. I am glad to say there has been very little friction in dealing with these matters, and, generally speaking, there has been harmony between employer and employed throughout this district. Workers' Dwellings. During this year 6 workers' dwellings have been erected in Palmerston North. There were originally 14 applications for houses, but owing to the delay in completing arrangements connected with sewerage, water, and road-making, 8 of the applications were withdrawn. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are 4 licensed registry offices in Palmerston North, and there have been no complaints concerning them during the year. Conclusion. During the year I have visited many of the towns and settlements within the Manawatu district, and have received every help from the constables in charge and local Inspectors. To these I desire to record my thanks. I also desire to thank the employers of labour and the occupiers of the shops and factories I have visited within the district for the kindly consideration and courtesy which at all times has been extended towards me. I have, &c, W. J. Culver, Inspector of Factories and Awards. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

MASTERTON. Sir, —■ Department of Labour, Masterton, 21st April, 1913. 1 have the honour to submit herewith, for your consideration, the annual report of the working of the Department in the Masterton district for the year ended 31st March, 1913. General. The period just ended has not been very eventful, and no strike or stoppage of work has occurred in connection with the principal industries carried on throughout this district. The slaughtermen's strike, which occurred during the season at most of the freezing-works throughout the Dominion, did not affect this district, as at the time an agreement had been arrived at between the freezing-company directors and the men, and the arrangements then made were strictly adhered to. The season for meat freezing, preserving, and canning, &c, in this district has proved a record one, the output far exceeding that of the previous year, and, judging from the supply of stock offering, the season will continue for some time. A bacon-factory in connection with the works has caused a considerable amount of extra employment. The building trade has maintained steady progress throughout the year. The number of permits (50) issued in accordance with the by-laws within the borough shows a slight decrease on last year, and the approximate value of buildings erected has not been so great —viz., £22,000. There has, however, been a very considerable amount of building undertaken throughout the country districts, for which no permits require to be issued, amounting to even more than has been done in the borough, so that work has been plentiful, the demand for good carpenters and joiners on various occasions not being satisfied. Bricklayers, plumbers, and painters have also experienced fairly steady employment. Brickmaking has experienced rather a slack year, notwithstanding that building operations have been fairly brisk; this is accounted for by the fact that a large quantity of bricks has been obtained from outside the district, The cement-pipe-manufacturing trade has been very busy, keeping a number of hands steadily employed during the year. The sawmilling industry has revived somewhat during the year, and one mill which has commenced cutting in a new bush is expected to maintain a considerable output. Local mills are also very busy in cutting white-pine, principally for the boxmaking industry. Those in the furniture trades have experienced a fairly busy year, and tradesmen obtained much more regular employment than during the previous period. Stock manufacturing and special orders have required special attention, and retailers in the trade report that the turnover has considerably improved. The motor and cycle trade has developed rapidly, and there is now a large number of operatives employed in connection therewith. New factories have been erected and further additions to others completed. General repairs, alterations, and renovating of cars and cycles, &c, is undertaken in these factories, and good business is reported by dealers. Coach and carriage building has experienced rather a quieter year, which seems to be accounted for chiefly by the very great increase in motor traffic. Tradesmen throughout have, however, obtained steady employment, but there has not been much further demand. Engineering firms and agricultural-implement manufacturers report a very busy year, particularly in the latter branch. The leather trades —saddlery and harness making, also boot and shoe making—have been quieter during the year. A local company endeavoured to start a factory for the manufacture of boots and shoes, &c, but was unsuccessful, and the enterprise has been abandoned. Clothing trades : Tailoring has experienced a very busy year, and all operatives have obtained practically full time, whilst difficulty was experienced in coping with the orders at certain periods. Dressmaking has also been fairly busy, and a fair amount of overtime has been worked in each of these trades. There has been a fairly regular demand for skilled operatives. Shearing : During the season shearing was considerably hampered throughout the whole of the district owing to the continued wet weather, consequently shearers did not obtain the usual amount of regular time or tallies, and average earnings at this industry were in consequence much reduced. Flax-milling : Owing to the increase in the prices offered for fibre this industry revived considerably, and two mills in the district have been cutting and dressing a fair output. This has furnished employment for a regular number of hands throughout the season. Dairying : An important industry throughout this district is the manufacture of butter and cheese, and the season just closing may be considered almost a record one. The weather experienced did not prove too dry, and there was an abundance of feed; consequently, a very fair supply of milk has been sent to'the various factories. This industry employs a large number of workers, and it is usually difficult to obtain enough efficient milkers. This is now being obviated very much owing to the advent of the milking-machine, which is being extensively installed. " Retail trades: From general observation and also from regular reports obtained during the year it must be admitted that general retail business has been rather quiet. Somewhat more than the usual number of stocktaking and periodical sales have, however, been held in connection with most of the principal retail trades, and the results have been reported as fully satisfactory. Factories Act. During the year 140 factories were registered. The number of workers engaged in the factories was 606 —viz., 505 males and 101 females —and the wages paid in the various trades amounted to approximately £55,000.
23
H.—ll
Overtime warrants were issued to 15 employers to allow 66 women and boys to work 1,753 extra hours. The amount of overtime worked has considerably decreased this year, employers having endeavoured to do away with the overtime practice as much as possible. Certificates of fitness to work in factories were issued to 23 young persons—lB males and 5 females under sixteen years of age. Accidents occurring in factories have been few, and none of them were of a very serious nature. Machinery and belting protection is now more regularly enforced and provided for than formerly, and the risk of accident is thus considerably minimized. No prosecutions were taken during the year, the different clauses of the Act being so very well known by both employers and employees that a breach rarely occurs. The factories throughout the district have been visited from time to time during the year, and in several instances sanitary conditions have been improved; in this connection the Health Officers for the district have been of great assistance. The factories generally are in a very fair condition. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 182 shops have been registered, which is an increase of 5 over the previous period. The number of employees returned total 390—viz., 268 males and 122 females. The wages paid totalled approximately £35,000. Overtime permits were obtained by 16 employers to allow 103 assistants —viz., 64 males and 39 females —to work 1,344 hours. This shows a considerable decrease on the number of the previous year. Occupiers of shops are now well' aware of the provisions of the Act requiring a wages and time book to be kept where one or more assistants are employed; very little trouble is now experienced in this connection. Where " requisitions " (by which a majority of the shopkeepers fix the closing-hours in the respective trades) are in force punctuality in closing is very well adhered to. Practically the whole of the shops have been visited from time to time during the year, and the general arrangements have been found fairly convenient and satisfactory. Special attention has been directed towards seating-accommodation for female shop-assistants. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Several alleged breaches of awards were fully investigated; they were not found to be serious. In two or three instances under the Shearers' award differences of opinion arose at some sheds throughout the Wairarapa district in connection with rates of wages for shed hands, but on advice from the Department an adjustment was at once made in accordance with the award, and satisfactorily to all parties. After the Carpenters and Joiners' award came into force it was found that minimum rates of wages were not being paid by some country builders. Owing to the award being new the employers were allowed to rectify matters by paying any arrears that were due; £12 10s. lid. was recovered in this way through this office. In connection with other awards, similar adjustments were made with regard to overtime due to workers, the total paid amounting to over £60. Although there is quite a number of awards where provision is made for permits for underrate workers, it is satisfactory to state that only 3 have been granted during the period. The necessary inspection in connection with this Act and the awards has entailed a very considerable amount of travelling and investigation throughout the various parts of the district. Servants' Registry Offices Act. Two servants' registry offices continue to conduct business in this district. No direct complaint has been received of any irregularity, and, according to their books, the fees charged do not exceed those prescribed under the Act. Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act. A considerable amount of inspection has been carried out in connection with the accommodation of shearers. The most distant stations of the district have been visited and reported upon. In several cases improvements were ordered, and effected during the current season, even while shearing was being carried out; in others the alterations are required to be completed before the coming season. The accommodation throughout this district has been much improved generally, and there are numbers of stations where the conditions are excellent._ It cannot, however, be denied that there are also some stations where the accommodation requires considerable improvement, and steps are being taken accordingly. Workers' Compensation Act. Workers have regularly availed themselves of the opportunity of seeking advice from this office on the various clauses of this Act, and full particulars were furnished. Two agreements with respect to compensation for iniurv received have been arrived at and certified tolbv me under the statutory provisions made in 1911 to this effect ; the sum involved and paid amounted to £253 Is. lid. Workers' Dwellings Act. It is anticipated that the provisions made by the above Act for assisting workers to obtain homes will soon be availed of in this district. A block comprising over 9 acres of land, excellently situated within the Borough of Masterton, has been acnuired for the purpose of erecting workers' dwellings. Applications are now being made by bona fide workers.

Men's Employment Branch. There has not been any great difficulty experienced in dealing with unemployment during the past year. A fair demand for men has been maintained, and almost all classes of trade have been catered for. A considerable number of workers have called at this office, and when employment could not be found advice has been given as to the locality where work could most likely be obtained. The total number of workers assisted through this office during the year was 165—viz., 143 single and 22 married men with 53 dependants. They were all assisted to private employment. Women's Employment Branch. This branch is now fully established and appreciated by employers. (For further particulars 'see separate report, page 42.) Conclusion. During the period 1 have visited almost all parts of the Wairarapa district. I wish to express my appreciation of the assistance always received from those persons with whom my duties have brought me into contact. I have, &c, J. Georgeson, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. NELSON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Nelson, 28th April, 1913. 1 have the honour to submit, for your consideration, my report on the administration of the various labour laws and other work of the Department in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. General. The year just closed has been a prosperous one for both employers and employees. Reports from business people show that while there has been fluctuations in most trades good trade has been done, with an increase on previous years in nearly all departments. Except during the early part of the year trade has been very satisfactory in the building trades throughout the district. In the city 183 permits were issued, and new buildings to the value of £33,000 have been erected. In the country districts the estimated value of buildings erected is £20,000. In these trades the amount of labour available has not equalled the demand, and employers have continually made inquiries at the Department's office for men. This has been most noticeable in reference to carpenters and painters. The furnishing trade in all branches has been very active. A number of labour-saving machines has been installed in various factories, but, notwithstanding, there has been a good demand for operatives to cope with the increasing volume of work. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining competent cabinetmakers, a considerable amount of overtime has been worked in the trade. The increased demand for all classes of timber has had a good effect on the sawmilling industry, and all mills have made full time. During the month of February last sawmillers in the Sounds and Pelorus Valley had a very anxious time owing to bush-fires. These fires destroyed a considerable amount of standing bush which the district could ill afford to lose, as timber is becoming very difficult to obtain within reasonable distance of rail or sea, and, as a sequence, the price of timber advances as the distance of haulage increases. No difficulty lias been experienced in placing good sawmill hands or bush men. Engineering trades in all brandies have been normal, and tradesmen have made full time. Employers state that, although there has been no apparent rush of work, they are satisfied with the amount of business done for the year. There has been a steady development in the boot trade, chiefly on order work. Employers state that the public are demanding a better class of boot, and prefer boots made to measure. All operatives have been kept busy during the year. There are a set number of men employed in the saddlery and harnessmaking trade. Employers report that trade lias been quite up to the average of previous years. The tailoring, clothing, and dressmaking trades have had an exceptionally busy year. There has been a continual demand for all classes of labour in the tailoring and dressmaking workrooms, and it has been impossible to obtain hands to carry out orders. A considerable amount of overtime has been worked in all branches of the clothing trade. Trade in brick and pottery works has been normal, and at no time during the year has the demand for bricks exceeded the supply on hand. Notwithstanding the ever-increasing number of motor-cars in the district, the coachbuilding and wheelwright trade continues to grow. The demand for all classes of vehicles has been very good, and in one or two factories considerable extensions have been made to plants. The slaughtermen's strike in no way affected the local freezing-works, and the present year is the best experienced since the works were opened. Just now the works present a very busy appearance, and up to date 30,000 carcases of mutton have been prepared for export. Fellmongers and tanners report a prosperous year, with fair markets. The growing tendency is to deal with wool and hides locally, and new plants have been installed in one or
25
H.-l]
two yards to deal with this class of work. Men. employed in this industry have made full time during the year. Motor and cycle trades : The number of motor cars and cycles on the road has kept all shops busy for the year. Fruit-preserving, one of the most important industries in the district, continues to grow, and there is an ever-increasing demand for the products. Employers have from time to time increased their plants and employed the latest labour-saving machines; yet, owing to the growing trade, there has been a difficulty of obtaining sufficient women and boy laboui . The difficulty has been exceptionally acute this year, and several firms take orders subject only to a proportionate reduction if supplies fall short. In some instances supplies have had to be reduced by 75 per cent, owing to the scarcity of labour. Biscuit and confectionery factories report a very busy year, but employers state that, owing to the dearth of female and boy labour, they have been compelled to restrict their business in certain lines. Employers in both fruit-preserving and confectionery industries state that business could be increased at least 50 per cent, if labour were available. Lines of goods which were formerly made, and for which the raw material is grown in the district, are now imported. This causes a general loss all round —to growers, manufacturers, and the Dominion generally. Agricultural operations : The year has been a prosperous one in many respects, and the seasons have been good and crops heavy. The prices prevailing for stock and farm-produce have been quite up to the standard, if not better than in previous years. A considerable amount of clearing and planting has been done, and this is noticeable chiefly in connection with the fruit industry. At the present time there are several thousand acres laid down in apple orchards, and this year about 1,000,000 young trees have been put in. This work alone has found a considerable amount of employment for a number of men. The hop-crop for the year has been a very heavy one, which has caused juices to drop somewhat on last year's offers. The market opened with prices at from Is. to lOd. per pound. Growers state that the business will pay at that price, but will not leave much margin for profit. The hop-gardens gave employment to a considerable number of women and girls, and substantial cheques were made, an expert picker averaging about 10s. per day, while others earned much less. The price ranged from 2d. to 2Jd. per bushel for picking. Hop-growers complained of the difficulty of obtaining pickers this year. I am of opinion that the difficulty in this industry could have been very easily removed if growers had made application to the Department at least one month before the hops were ready for picking. Inquiries were made from the Department from all parts of the Dominion as to the likelihood of obtaining work at hop-picking for the season. Growers made little use of the office for obtaining labour. Shipping: The increasing trale of the district warrants direct liners visiting the port, and to facilitate their entry and departure a considerable amount of improvement has been made to the harbour during the year. The visits from coastal and intercolonial steamers totalled 1,506 ; direct liners, 8; and sailing-vessels. 361 : total tonnage, 408,537 tons (net); Factories Act. Nothing unusual can be noted in connection with the operations of this Act. Its provisions are well understood. The factories throughout the district have been visited, and special attention has been paid to sanitation, protection from machinery, and also to time and wage books. As a rule, these books are kept up to date, and there has been little difficulty in adjusting overtime rates and seeing that increases in wages were given to juvenile workers when due. Where new factories have been erected employers have given every consideration to ventilation, sanitation, &c, for the comfort of their employees generally. Where new bakehouses have been erected I have pointed out the advisability of putting in concrete floors, and I am pleased to state that without exception this has been done. During the year 282 factories were registered. The number of workers employed was 1,396 -1,124 males and 272 females. Certificates of fitness were issued to 16 young persons to work in factories —8 boys and 8 girls. Overtime: A total of 5,319 hours overtime has been worked by 162 females and boys, as against 4,711 hours worked by 131 females and boys last year. This shows a considerable increase in overtime worked, and indicates the briskness of trade and shortage of female and boy labour. The increase is mainly in connection with the fruit-preserving and clothing industries. Accidents: Three accidents were reported; none were of a serious nature. Inquiries were made in all cases, and in no case could any defect be found in the guarding of machinery. The persons injured were seen and made acquainted with the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act. Prosecutions : There were 3 prosecutions under this Act —2 for failing to pay wages at not more than fortnightly intervals, and 1 for failing to keep time and wage book. Convictions were obtained in both cases, and back wages amounting to £40 were recovered. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 310 shops were registered; they employed 889 persons —310 occupiers, 286 males, and 293 female assistants. The early-closing movement has gained ground, and there are very few trades which are not now closing under " requisition." There is a small minority of shopkeepers who object to early closing, and these have caused a considerable number of visits of inspection at all hours in the evening.
4—H. 11.
H.—ll
26
Visits of inspection have boon paid to all shops in the district, and special attention has been given to wages and time books, seating-accommodation for females, also to ventilation and sanitation. Prosecutions: Six prosecutions were taken under this Act. Convictions were obtained in all cases. Overtime: 226 overtime warrants were issued to 146 shop-assistants, who worked 5,385 extra hours. This shows a considerable increase on the preceding year. The conditions of employment as a whole were satisfactory, and tht< law was being fairly well complied with. Scaffolding Inspection Act. As Inspector of Scaffolding for the Marlborough and Nelson districts 1 have visited buildings in the course of erection throughout the districts (see separate report). Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. No difficulty has arisen in connection with awards under this Act during the year. There an- nine awards and six industrial agreements in force in the Nelson and Marlborough districts, and the necessary inspection lias entailed a very considerable amount of travelling and investigation, mainly in connection with the Nelson Tailors' and the New Zealand Typographical awards. Sixty complaints were received and inquired into. The majority of cases arose from complainants not understanding the terms of the awards, while others were of a trivial nature, and letters of warning met the cases. Four persons were proceeded against for breaches of awards. Convictions were obtained in all cases, the penalties and costs amounting to £1.1. 4s. 6d. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There arc no servants' registry offices in the Nelson district. Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act. There are 12 sheds in the district which come within the meaning of this Acl. The accommodation for shearers is satisfactory, and, with two exceptions, shearers take their meals at the homesteads, where cooks for the men are employed. Workers' Compensation Act. The amending Act of 1911, providing that agreements for the settlement of claims shall not be binding unless approved by a Magistrate or Inspector, has done much to safeguard the interest of injured workers. During the .year a number of workers has called see;king advice as to compensation for injuries received. Six memoranda of agreement were brought in for approval. The circumstances and conditions in connection with each case were inquired into, and only the full amount of compensation due was approved, as follows : boss of three fingers, £76 Us. 5d.; big toe, £36 Is.; top of finger, £23 15s. 2d.; part of thumb, £79 65.; loss of eve, £154 15s. Ud.; top of finger, £15 Bs. Workers' Dwellings Act. During the year much interest has been manifested in this Act by the, workers in the district. Inquiries were received as to general conditions governing workers' dwellings. Each applicant was supplied with the fullest information, and 12 applications were received. Land was then acquired by the Department for the purpose of erecting dwellings. The land has been cut up and surveyed, and contracts let for making roads and for sewerage. Gas and water mains have been put in by the City Council, and in the course of a few months the dwellings will be erected. Men's Employment Branch. There lias been a good demand for all classes of labour during the year. All local men have been fully employed, and no difficulty has been experienced in placing applicants willing to take farm-work, scrub-cutting, or bush-work. Applications have been received from employers from all parts of the district for this class of labour. In the manufacturing industries there has, as already mentioned, also been a shortage of labour. This is a very serious matter as far as the fruit industry is concerned, as the season lasts about eight months, when employers put on all labour available, whilst at the end of the season they shorten hands. I am afraid that until the problem of employment for the other four months of the year can be solved the difficulty of obtaining labour for the busy season will continue. During the year employment was round for 101 men, 30 of whom were married with 46 dependants, and 71 were single men. Women's Employment Branch. This department has done good work, and is much appreciated by employers and employees. The same difficulty with regard to the scarcity of domestic workers has been experienced as with various other workers. Employers are continually inquiring what chance there is of obtaining help, and this takes up a considerable amount of the time of the officer in charge (see separate report). Conclusion. In conclusion, I have to thank all those officers with whom 1 have been associated during the year for their assistance. ] have, &c, S. Tyson, Inspector of Factories.

GREYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Greymouth, 24th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit herewith my report on the work of this branch of the Department for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. The period under review cannot be said to have been one of progress. The coutributary causes were no' doubt the general tightening of the money-market and the strike of gold-miners at Inangahua. This strike doubtless exercised a retarding influence not only in the development of the resources of the West Coast, but also, indirectly, on the general trade of the district. Investors and tradespeople alike have been cautious, and, in consequence, there has been a general curtailment of business. The following figures show the export of gold during the past three years: 1912, 59,357 oz.; value, £235,241 : 1911, 83,609 oz.; value, £333,492: 1910, 81,235 oz.; value. £315,210. Turning to the other branch of mining, that associated with coal, the statistics for the last two periods show as follow: 1911-12, 376,476 tons; 1912-13. 343,273 tons. This shows a t'alling-off in our coal export of 33,203 tons. Coming to the timber industry it is found that the total output recorded as passing over the railway also exhibits a decrease: 1911-12, 57,30-1,109 superficial feet; 1912-13, 48,378,72-1 superficial feet; decrease, 8,925,385 superficial feet. Dealing with the minor industries, it is found that while wool and flax show a slight increase over last year, the output of bricks, coke, and sleepers has declined during the period. Building operations : The period just ended lias not been a good one from an artisans' point of view, and shows a falling-off since last year. The municipal permits issued were of a total value of £16,636, which is a decrease of £4,574 compared with last year's work. The local engineering and kindred trades have been kept fairly busy during the period, and have worked overtime aggregating 2,4-56 hours. Coaclibuilders and blacksmiths report a slack year, and no overtime has been necessary. Dressmaking and tailoring : The reports concerning these industries are not up to the standard of former years, although a fair amount of business was transacted at Christmas-time, particularly in the town. Men's Employment Branch. The completion of the various sections of railway-works throughout the district temporarily forced an amount, of unemployed labour on the market. This was relieved to a certain extent when the Government took over the Arthur's Pass Tunnel works, where 200 workers were taken on. As this work is being pressed on at top speed, employment could be found for a considerable number more capable men than appears to lie available at the moment of writing. Employment was found for 37 men in various other capacities with private employers, bringing the total up to 237, of whom 89 were married, 138 single, and 10 widowers, with dependants totalling 324. Factories Act. The number of factories registered is 141 since previous year. Certificates of fitness to work in factories were issued during the period to 14 boys and 2 girls under the age of sixteen years. The amount of overtime worked by females and boys under sixteen years of age in the various factories was 2,323 hours. There has been little difficulty found in administering the Act, any minor irregularity being usually of an adjustable nature. In only 3 instances was it necessary to seek the assistance of the Court; on each occasion conviction was obtained and fine imposed. Visits of inspection were made to all factories throughout the district during the period. A number of complaints were received from employees, principally with regard to the shortpayment of wages. These were all duly investigated, and most of them were proved to be of a baseless nature. In a few instances, however, it became necessary for the Department to interfere, and the sum of £46 2s. Bd., arrears of wages, was recovered and handed to the workers concerned. The number of accidents which occurred within the district was 12; 5 were of a more or less serious nature, and necessitated surgical operations, while 1 was fatal. The unfortunate individual in this case had his skull fractured through a log of timber canting off the trolly while being conveyed to a sawmill. The remaining 6 were of a minor nature. In every instance full inquiry has been made regarding the occurrences, and the injured persons' interests safeguarded. Shops and Offices Act. The number of shops registered was 238, an increase of 38 over the corresponding period of last year. The provisions of this Act appeared to be fairly well understood by the occupiers of shops, hotels, and restaurants throughout the district. The only difficulty experienced was in regard to the keeping of wages and time book. One prosecution was initiated for failure to close shop on the statutory half-holiday; a conviction was obtained and the defendant fined. With this exception a warning letter has sufficed to bring offenders to a sense; of duty. Very little overtime has been necessary throughout the period, the total amounting to 152 hours by 11 assistants.

Scaffolding Inspection Act. Visits of inspection have been made to all structures in course of erection, alteration, or repair throughout the Industrial District of Westland (see separate report). Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Strict, attention has been given to all industries throughout the Westland Industrial District affected by awards and agreements. It was considered necessary to prosecute in 2 instances. With these exceptions the Act has worked smoothly during the year, and amicable relations prevailed between employer and employee. Workers' Compensation Act. There have been no complaints within the district regarding this Act. The more important provisions appeared to be fairly well understood and highly appreciated by the workers, as was also the practical advice and other assistance which the Department placed at the disposal of those requiring it. Workers' Dwellings Act. Considerable interest is being shown throughout the district regarding the working of this enactment. After considerable trouble and unavoidable delay an ideal site for dwellings has been secured at Cobden on very reasonable terms. Tenders have been accepted for the building of 13 cottages of attractive design, and containing from four to six rooms each. A commencement has been made with the erection of these dwellings, and it is expected to have the various applicants in possession of their respective homes at an early date. Conclusion. The principal towns in Westland have been visited, and as thorough an inspection of the shops and factories therein has been carried out as time and circumstances permitted. I desire to record my appreciation of the ready assistance and uniform courtesy extended to me by the various officers of local bodies with whom my duties have brought me in contact. I have, &c, H. J. T orbit, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. TIMARU. Sir, — Department of Labour, Timaru, 26th April, 1913. 1 have the honour to submit, for your consideration, my report of the Department's work in the South Canterbury district for the year ending 31st March, 1913. Although a few industrial difficulties have arisen during the past year business has recovered itself, and I am glad to be able to report continued prosperity for the district generally. The sheep and dairy farmers throughout the district have had a very fair year, as the woolsales were very successful, the prices realized being exceptionally good, whilst dairy-produce has also brought good prices and feed had been plentiful for stock. The grain harvest has not been quite up to the average. The meat-freezing industry has again had a good year, notwithstanding the inconvenience and loss caused by the slaughtermen's strike at the beginning of the present season; at the present time both local works are working at their full capacity. The building trades have again had a very busy year, and the demand has been much larger than the supply available. During the latter part of the year, however, business has become quieter, and it is now about normal. Unless the money-market gets easier it is feared that the trade will be slack during the coining winter. The number of building permits issued by the Borough Council during the year was 212, and the approximate cost of the buildings was £1.13,862. The woollen-milling and clothing trades have been very brisk and apparently prosperous. Female workers arc still wanted, particularly in the woollen-milling (weaving department) ami tailoring industries. Retailers have, on the whole, done good business, although in some lines competition has been very keen, noticeable mostly in. the grocery trade. The' Port of Timaru is still"increasing its volume of trade, and last year (ending 31st Decern ber, 1912) the imports amounted to 99,026 tons and the exports 97,843 tons, making a total of 196,869 tons, which exceeds the previous year's total by over 1.1,000 tons. The principal imports and' exports were as follows: Imports —General merchandise, 22,217 tons; timber, 1,154,830 superficial feet; coal, 23,970 tons. Exports—Wool, 33,284 bales; wheat, 79,077 sacks; oats, 96,500 sacks; beans and peas, 6,087 sacks; potatoes, 15,820 sacks; butter. 1,709 cases; cheese, 1,727 crates. The declared value of foreign and intercolonial trade was £1,541,545, and the approximate value of coastal trade £700,000. The port still holds the third position in the Dominion for the export of frozen mutton and lamb, the total for the year being 739,787 carcases, which is an increase of 40,630 over the previous year's export.
29
H.^1.1
Factories Act. During the year 239 factories were registered, which is an increase of 6 over the previous .year. 1,538 persons were employed, comprising 1,1.90 males, 348 females. Forty-nine certificates of fitness to work in factories have been issued to 23 boys and 26 girls under sixteen years of age. There has been a decrease in the amount of overtime worked by boys and female workers, which is.shown as follows: Number of workers, 1912, 185; 1913, 276; overtime worked, 10,666 hours and 8,276 hours respectively. Seventy-five accidents were reported, nearly all of which were of a slight nature; the most serious was one in which a worker's arm was almost cut off with a circular saw, but, thanks to modern surgery, the arm has been saved, and it is likely that the man will be able to use it again very shortly. There were 3 prosecutions (2 in Timaru and 1 in Geraldine) taken under this Act, and penalties were imposed in both cases. Several warnings have been given to employers to comply with the provisions of the Act. I have again much pleasure in expressing satisfaction at the way in which factories were equipped and conducted, also for the readiness with which employers have complied with any alterations or improvements that I have suggested. All the town factories of any size have got their sanitary arrangements in good order, and connected with the new drainage system. In conjunction with, the Health Inspector I have made a large number of inspections in connection with these arrangements in both Timaru and Waimate, where drainage schemes have been introduced. Shops and Offices Act. The total number of shops and hotels registered in Timaru and suburbs (including St. Andrew's) was 307, which is a substantial increase over last year; but of this number 14 have since been .closed. This is not unusual with the smaller class of shops, which open for a short time and then close down again. Overtime permits were issued for 273 assistants to work 3,947 hours. The Act appeared to be well observed on the whole, although I had to prosecute in 16 instances; conviction with penalty and costs was entered in each case. Thirteen of them were for failing to close at the hours fixed by gazetted " requisitions," 2 for failing to close at 1 p.m. on statutory half-holiday, and 1 for not paying an assistant for overtime worked; 7 of the cases were taken at Timaru and 9 at Temuka. The shops, on the whole, were well kept and stocked, and their appearance and cleanliness are a credit to the occupiers. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are 3 offices registered under this Act, and they are well conducted, although the practice of charging fees to workers only, which I previously reported, is still in vogue. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Fourteen cases for enforcement of awards have been taken in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court and 1 in the Court of Arbitration, The latter was taken to obtain an interpretation, and the Court recorded a breach. Of the eases taken in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court, penalties were imposed in 10 instances, whilst 3 were dismissed, and in 1 a nonsuit was entered. In 2 of the cases dismissed the Stipendiary Magistrate stated a case for the Arbitration Court, and judgment was given for defendants on the Court's finding. Seven cases of breaches of awards were settled out of Court. Proceedings were taken against 7 men for taking part in a strike; each of them was fined, the penalties and costs given amounting in all to £5 2s. Two employers were proceeded against under the Act for failing to keep overtime and wages book, and each was convicted with penalty. Fifteen permits to under-rate workers have been issued : the bulk of them were renewals of former permits to persons physically unfit. In most cases employers and employees were working harmoniously, and, with the exception of the slaughtermen's strike, there has been little or no industrial difficulty. Workers' Compensation Act. A good deal of advice has been asked for and given under this Act during the past year, and all cases referred to this office have been settled without legal proceedings being taken. There was, however, a practice in vogue to which I would call particular attention. Several insurance companies expected the injured worker to pay for medical certificates required by them when the worker was fit to resume work. Another matter that should, if possible, be attended to is that when an employer admits liability for compensation the payment of half-wages should be made every week, say, after the first fortnight. I found that in many cases no payment was made until the workers resumed employment, and some hardship was thereby experienced. Workers' Dwellings Act. Eighteen houses have been.built in. Timaru and Temuka, and all have been taken up by the applicants, who have expressed great satisfaction for the benefits conferred by the Act, The houses are of four and five rooms, well built, conveniently designed, and situated at an eas.y distance from town. Enough land has been secured here for 9 or 10 more houses, and sufficient applications have already been received to fill the whole of this block; whilst T have little doubt that if more land were available it would be quickly taken up.

Conclusion. During the year I have paid frequent visits to Waimate, Temuka, Geraldine, Fairlie, St. Andrew's, Pleasant Point, Wash dyke, &c, in connection with the various labour laws, and 1 desire to express my thanks to employers, employees, and others for their courtesy and assistance in carrying out my duties. I have, &c, Geo. H. Lightfoot, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. OAMARU. Sir, — Department of Labour. Oamaru, 25th April, 1913. 1 beg to submit my annual report on the administration of the labour laws throughout the North Otago district for the year ending 31st March, 1913. Trade generally has been fairly brisk during the year, and at no time has the unemployment difficulty become acute. This is shown in the fact, that it was not found necessary last winter to send any of the workers away to Government works elsewhere, there being sufficient employment in the district for all applicants. The dairying industry has experienced a record season, which has, to a large extent, compensated for the average light yield in grain crops. The recent strike of slaughtermen felt early in the season, but the freezing-works are now working at full pressure. Considerable loss to the district was caused by the strike of slaughtermen at the local freezing-works in June last, when 30,000 sheep had to be railed away to other works. Since my last report considerable improvements bave been made to a number of the business houses here, and this has added very much to the appearance of the town. Factories Act. The number of factories registered was 166. Several of them have been much improved and enlarged during the year. Forty-five certificates of fitness to work in factories have been issued to 2.") boys and 20 girls under sixteen years of age. Of this number, 7 boys and 8 girls had passed the Sixth Standard. The amount of overtime worked by boys under sixteen years of age and women was 3,927 hours, as against 2,494 hours for last year. Five accidents were reported and inquired into; only one of them resulted in permanent injury. In this case the Department has seen that the amount of compensation paid was in accordance with the Act. Arrears of wages amounting to £17 ss. Id. have been collected, and paid to workers. Although a number of warnings had to be given, it was not found necessary to lay any informations under this Act, Shops and Offices Act. The number of shops registered was 1.79. Overtime permits were issued to 63 assistants, who worked 1,124 hours, as against 686 hours worked last year. It has been necessary to give a number of warnings to shopkeepers during the year, but it was not deemed necessary to take any cases into Court. Arrears of wages amounting to £12 Is. 3d. have been collected from hotel and restaurant keepers, and paid over to workers, and from ordinary shops £7 10s. has been collected and paid to the assistants. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The provisions of this Act have been fairly well observed during the period under review, ■ but in 2 cases action had to be taken before the Magistrates' Court for enforcement of the lawviz., in one case a shearer left work without due cause before completion of his contract, and in the other 13 slaughtermen struck work at the Eveline Freezing-works whilst bound by an award. In both cases convictions were obtained and fines inflicted. Three cases were settled out of Court, and arrears of wages amounting to £29 os. Id. collected, and paid to workers. , . Servants' Registry Offices Act. There were 3 offices registered, all of which wore well conducted, and carried out the requirements of the law satisfactorily. Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act. Last year a number of sheep runs were visited for the purpose of inspecting accommodation, <fee., provided for the shearers. Seven requisitions had to be served upon owners requiring alterations and improvements, all of which have been duly attended to without recourse to tinlaw. Conclusion. During the year I have paid visits to Enfield, Kakanui, Papakaio, Weston, Pukeuri, Awamoko, Totara, and other parts of the district, and desire to thank both employers and employees for assistance given to me when carrying out my duties. T have, (fee, J. C. Yorke, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

INVERCARGILL. Sir, — Department of Labour, Invercargill, 25th April, 1913. 1 beg to submit herewith my report on the work of the Department in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. General . The year just closed has been marked by steady progress throughout the Southland district. In the towns business has been good, and few instances can bo recorded where increased trade and brighter prospects have not been the order. Improvements in buildings, streets, and other public services have been carried out. In Invercargill the electric-car service is an accomplished fact, and the patronage accorded lias surpassed anticipations. The farming community, especially those on the flat, country, experienced two disastrous Hoods in the growing season. In the early spring acres of young grain were washed away. Considerable areas were sown again, and the late harvest was on the fair road to completion when another flood, more extensive and disastrous than its predecessors, swept stooks, stacks, and .sacks of threshed grain right out. of existence. Besides the loss of crops, numbers of sheep, cattle, and horses were carried away, while the amount of fencing destroyed ran into hundreds of miles. Probably pastoralists were less unfortunate than the agriculturalists as the country generally devoted to grazing is of a nature not easily flooded. They had cold wet weather, however, to contend with in the early spring, just at the time when young lambs w-ere beginning to make their appearance. Profiting by their experiences of former years, many pastoralists have now provided shelter plantations for their ewes, and have thus minimized the danger of loss through sudden storms. The shearing was put through in good, time, and the clip reached the stores in prime condition. Prices received were quite up to the expectations of growers; a good clearance was effected, and as a result a considerable sum of money was put into circulation. Lambs came away well at the start, but had several checks during the growing season, and did not reach the freezing stage quite as early as expected. The first batches to come forward, however, were in good condition, and should prove profitable to the growers. At all times during the season there has been abundance of feed, the growth of clover being almost phenomenal. Winter feed is plentiful, and in consequence there should be no difficulty in carrying stock through the winter. Ground is still being brought into cultivation for agricultural purposes, and in the coming season there should be a considerable extent of country bearing its first cultivated crop. Noxious weeds have called for a, good deal of attention, as, on account of the moist season, the growth, especially on new ground, has been vigorous. . It is satisfactory to note that tile much-dreaded California!! thistle shows signs of dying out; everywhere the growth is more stunted than usual, and the plants do not appear to be maturing their seeds to any great extent. The demand for farm labourers has been quite as keen as in former years, but our young men do not seem to take kindly to the occupation. Dairying : The dairying industry is growing, and each year sees the number of factories increase; every small district will no doubt have its own factory eventually. The total quantity of cheese shipped from the Bluff for the year ending the 31st March, 1913, was 111,750 cwt., valued at £313,569. After adding to this the quantity consumed locally as well as that transhipped from other ports, £500,000 would seem a reasonable estimate to put down as the total value of the cheese output for the above period. As butter-making and milk-condensing form strong branches of .the dairy industry in this district, they must be considered when speaking of dairying generally. Although it would be a difficult matter to obtain actual figures showing the value of butter manufactured locally, the amount must run into five figures. The manufacture of butter from whey is the latest development of the dairying business, and plants have been installed for the purpose in some of the larger factories, where a very high-class article has been turned out. The success of the experiment in using whey is being closely watched, and within a very few years ever}- factory in the district will, it is expected, have made arrangements for obtaining a " second crop " from its milk. That milk-condensing is carried on in this district on a most extensive scale may be gathered from the following figures, which speak for themselves: Milk treated. 1,012,196 gallons, valued at £25.000. The dairy-farmers are also gradually improving their herds. A good deal has been done in the way of cow-testing, which is a sure sign that the farmers are taking a scientific interest in their business. With the opening of the bush lands, the number of dairy-farmers will increase, and the demand for new factories must therefore continue. Though the past season has been somewhat erratic, the supplies of milk have been fairly steady, and the factories, on the whole, have done well. Sawmilliug : Owing to the falling-off in building operations the demand for timber lias not been so keen as in the past few years, but, nevertheless, the mills have been kept going, and continue to employ large numbers of men. Bush areas within reasonable distance of the town are now few and far between, and each, year sees the mills pushed farther out, until, within a very short, time, a sawmill will be a novelty to town dwellers. Flax-milling: A sudden rise in the price of fibre towards the end of the year 1912 caused activity in the industry, and practically every mill in the district was put in commission as soon as men could be. found to fill the places. The season was not favourable, however, for drying and bleaching the fibre, and the paddocks soon got overloaded with wet material, consequently a good deal of time was lost, and the scutches were lying idle. Men were hard to procure at the" start, but later on, as the season advanced, all the mills were full-handed and good money was made. Considering the many disadvantages that millers have met with the quality of the fibre turned out has been good. Building trades: The close of the year 1912 saw the completion of most of the large buildings in course of erection, when a quietness set in all round, and has continued up to the
H.—ll
32
end of the financial year. Cottage building has, however, been pushed on very rapidly, and by this means carpenters, joiners, and other mechanics in the building trade have been kept going. Though it is not so apparent as during last year, there is a fair amount of work going on in the country districts, also in the inland towns, some of which are assuming fair proportions. The advent of spring should see a number of heavy jobs in hand in Invercargill. Iron trades: The different branches of the iron-working industry has made good progress during the year, and employers are satisfied and appear confident of further success in the future. Implement-makers had rather a peculiar season to deal with, but, nevertheless, managed to dispose of their lines as the season came round. In the general engineering there was always enough work on hand to keep all employees on full time, and overtime has been necessary in many cases to keep up with orders. Extensive alterations and additions have recently been made .in some of the foundries, which are now in a position to cope with all demands. Plumbing, gasfitting, &c. : All trades coming under this heading have had a very successful year, and there has at all times been a demand for good men. Gas and water mains have been extended to the outer areas of the town, and citizens have taken full advantage of the conveniences afforded. A new award was made in the plumbing and tinsmithing trade during the year, and, although a few misunderstandings in connection with it arose at the beginning, matters 'soon settled down, and everything is now working smoothly. Furniture trades: Notwithstanding that two large Dunedin firms have opened up branches here, all engaged in furniture selling and manufacturing have had a remarkably good year. At times the demand for locally made furniture was so keen that great difficulty was experienced in fulfilling orders. Coachbuilding : It is claimed that the work, turned out in our carriage-factories is equal to anything in the Dominion. There has been a good demand for vehicles of all descriptions, and all those engaged in the trade have had a good year. Motor-body building now forms a large portion of the work turned out, and at the close of the year all the workshops were full up with orders. Boot and shoe trade: Taken all round, trade has been very steady. In manufacturing a little time was lost by operatives during the early spring of 1912, but latterly every one has been fully employed. Retailers report very satisfactory returns, showing an appreciable advance on last year. Tailoring : Tailoring firms have every reason to be satisfied with the work of the year. From start to finish orders have been good, and operatives have had almost constant employment. The amount of overtime worked in this trade has been greater by far than that in any other industry in the town. Female operatives have been in keen demand, and the supply continues short. Dressmaking and millinery : Dressmakers were unable to complete orders within the limit of the ordinary working-day, and the amount of overtime granted almost, equalled that worked in the tailoring trade. Milliners were kept going very steadily, and with the assistance of a.little overtime managed to put in good time for the year. Men's Employment Branch. Only 50 men registered their names on the " unemployed " list during the year. Of the number 14 were married and 36 single. Eight married and 19 single men were assisted to employment immediately on their application being registered. There has not been any serious cause for complaint on'account of want of work, and throughout the whole period under review there has been some demand for able-bodied workers. During the shearing and harvest seasons a number of men passed through the town; very little was seen of them, and no doubt they found employment in some part of the district. Factories Act. The number of factories registered during the year was 357, which is the highest number vet recorded. Certificates of fitness were issued to 36 young persons under sixteen years of age to work in factories —viz., 1.7 boys and 19 girls. No doubt the spread of technical education will for a time have the effect of somewhat delaying the entrance of many young people of both sexes to the manufacturing and other industries; but the schooling must in the long-run be better for all concerned, as the children will have gained considerable educational experience, will be more settled in their ideas, and they will consequently be less inclined to shift about than they are when entering employment immediately on leaving the primary schools. Accidents. —Twenty-six accidents were reported and inquired into during the year. The injuries consisted chiefly of bruises, loss of joints of fingers, and broken limbs, accidents which are inseparable from industrial life. Two hundred and ninety-nine boys (under sixteen years of age) and women worked 11,040 hours' overtime. Prosecutions. —There were no prosecutions under the Act. Shops and Offices Act. There were 5 prosecutions under this Act—-2 for failing to close at 1 p.m. on the statutory half-holiday, 2 against one employer for employing female assistants longer than the stipulated number of" hours without an interval for meal, and 1 for working female assistants overtime without a permit. In all cases nominal penalties were inflicted. On the whole, shopkeepers have made an honest endeavour to keep within the law. _ The annual returns were collected from 389 shops, hotels, and restaurants during the year.
33
H.—ll
Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The number of awards under this Act keeps on increasing, and practically every industry in the district is working under an award of the Court. Frequent visits have been paid to country districts, where the working of awards has beep inquired into, and explanations and advice given where necessary. On the whole, there has been very little friction, and everything possible has been done to keep things running smoothly. Four persons were proceeded against for breaches of awards. In 3 cases penalties were inflicted, and I case was dismissed for want of sufficient evidence. Arrears of wages amounting to £48 9s. 9d., covering breaches of the Bakers and Pastrycooks', Butchers', Carpenters', and Timber-yards and Sawmills awards, were collected, and paid to the workers concerned. Servants' Registry Offices Act.. There were 8 persons, holding licenses under this Act in Invercargill, all of whom have apparently made every endeavour to comply with the requirements of the law. Workuks' Dwellings Act. A suitable block of land to provide sites for workers' dwellings has been secured in South Invercargill, and applications have been invited from workers desirous of securing homes under the Act. Applications were received for all the sections under offer, and no doubt the necessary houses to accommodate the applicants and their families will shortly be erected. Conclusion. Ifl conclusion, 1 have to express my appreciation of the services rendered by police officers acting as Factory Inspectors in the country districts. By their aid much heavy travelling has been avoided and time saved. I have, &c, H. B. Bower, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington. DARGAVILLE. During the past year skilled and unskilled labour have been in great demand throughout the district and high wages have been paid. In consequence of the increased amount of work a good deal of overtime has been worked, principally in the sawmilling and tailoring trades. For the greater part of the year the building trade has been brisk, but lately business has fallen off, and several carpenters have left the district. The flax-milling industry has also been brisk; two mills are now working in full swing. The kauri-gum industry is employing between 400 and 500 men, who are all making good wages on account of the high prices and demand for gum. During the year 10 informations were laid against 8 occupiers for minor breaches of the Acts, convictions being obtained in each case. The dairy industry is increasing rapidly in all parts of the district, and farmers from other parts are settling here. MANGAWEKA. The various trades have, on the whole, had a fairly good year. One or two businesses closed down, whilst others commenced operations. Owing to sewerage, water, and electric works being carried out here it was a most difficult matter to obtain sufficient labour to carry out the works, and good navvies were at a premium. The farmers have had a good year, and fair prices were recorded for wool, dairy-produce, and stock. During the annual inspection of shearing-sheds it was found that the accommodation was not satisfactory in some cases, and notice was given to effect improvements as required by the Act. HUNTERVILLE. Factories Act : All the factories in this district have been fully employed, but no overtime was worked. There have been no complaints, and no prosecutions have been necessary for breaches of the Act. The various trades appear to be prosperous and work generally has been plentiful. Shops and Offices Act: This Act has also given general satisfaction, and no difficulty has been experienced in carrying out its provisions. The statutory half-holiday is observed by all, and there have been no prosecutions during the year.

Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act : During the year nearly all the sheds in this district have been visited, and the accommodation is now very much superior to that provided in the past. Unskilled labour : The labour-market in this district has been in a very satisfactory condition during the past year and work has been plentiful. HASTINGS. A large volume of trade has been transacted here during the year, and there has been a fair demand, for skilled labour, especially in the building and joinery trades. The sewerage scheme has given employment to a large number of men, but it is now nearing completion. The district, taken as a whole, is in a very prosperous condition, there being practically no unemployed. Building licenses of a total value of £4,362 have been granted during the year. DANNEVIRKE. The year has been a fairly prosperous one for this district, notwithstanding the fact that sheep-farmers sustained considerable loss through the slaughtermen's strike. Owing to the prolonged spell of dry weather experienced about that time grass was scarce, and sheep could not be kept in prime condition pending the termination of the strike. Bush-fires also did great damage, especially to dairy-farmers settled on or near recently felled bush lands. A slight depression has naturally been felt throughout the district, and especially in Dannevirke. There were 98 factories registered, employing 243 males and 57 females. Overtime permits were issued for 24 females, who worked 294J extra hours. No complaints in reference to the working of the labour laws have been received. REEFTON. During the year the Factories and Shops and Offices Acts have been well observed. One prosecution occurred during the year : this was for failure to pay double time for working on a holiday. One hundred and fourteen shops and 27 factories were registered. The district is still feeling the effects of the labour trouble which began in 1911 and lasted until the end of 1912. The mines, which were practically shut down for several months, resumed operations at the end of last December, but are not yet working full-handed. The result is that business, although much better, is still far from satisfactory. WESTPORT. During the year trade and business generally have been slack, although men appear to have been fairly fully employed. There has been a decrease in the number of factories registered since the previous year, due to the general dullness of trade. No complaints regarding the working of the labour laws have been received. During the year a number of trades have availed themselves of the provisions of the Shops and Offices Act as to closing by requisition, and this appears to be a benefit to those engaged in business. HOKITTKA. During the year trade and business generally have been dull. The mining industry has been practically at a standstill, whilst the building, engineering, tailoring, cabinetmaking, and coachbuilding trades have experienced a quiet time. Dairying and agricultural farming have had a steady year. The timber industry has not been very flourishing. During the year 58 factories were registered, but 5 have since closed down. These include 3 sawmills and 1 cycle-factory. There have been no prosecutions during the period and no accidents reported. One hundred and twenty-eight shops, including licensed hotels and restaurants, have rendered returns : this is a decrease of 11 since the previous year. Generally speaking, the various labour laws have been well observed by employers and workers in this district.

REPORTS PROM INSPECTORS OF SCAFFOLDING. AUCKLAND. Sir, — Department of Labour, Auckland, 22nd April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. The building trade for the first nine months of the year was very brisk in all its branches, and most employers found it necessary to pay above the award rate of wages in order to secure hands. During the latter three months, however, a considerable amount of suburban buildinghas eased off, consequently more men are available for the larger buildings which are being erected in the city, and which require a large quantity of scaffolding. Trade for the ensuing year is likely to remain steady, several large buildings having just been commenced which will not be completed within eight months. During the year I have visited Te Kuiti, Tauinarunui, Frankton, Hamilton, Cambridge, Whangarei, Thames, Morrinsville, Pukekohe, Gisborne, and Huntly, where many buildings requiring scaffoldings have been erected. Many of these scaffoldings had to be altered, and when time permitted I waited to see the alterations carried out. During the twelve months 366 notices have been received from contractors of their intention to erect scaffoldings exceeding 16 ft. in height. 940 visits have been made to these scaffoldings, and many other smaller buildings were also visited. Several builders who had failed to send the necessary notice before erecting received strong letters of warning, as they were in most cases employers who had just commenced contracting. Six scaffoldings and a quantity of gear were condemned as unsafe for the use of workmen. Accidents. Fifty-six accidents have been reported as having occurred on buildings in course of erection, repair, or structural alterations. The majority of these were, slight. One case proved fatal, in which a man at Frankton fell a distance of 65 ft. through an opening used for hauling up material. For failing to report accidents 4 builders were cautioned. Prosecutions. For failing to send notice to the Inspector of their intention to erect scaffolding exceeding 16 ft. in height 3 builders were prosecuted. A conviction was recorded and fine imposed in each case. Conclusion. In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to those persons connected with the building trade with whom I have come into contact, and who have assisted me in making the Scaffolding Inspection Act run smoothly. I have, &c, Hugh Gresham, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. NAPIER. Sir, — Department of Labour, Napier, 21st April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report on the administration of the Act in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. Since the date of my appointment here last October 40 notices of intention to erect scaffolding have been received from various parts of the Hawke's Bay district. Thirty visits of inspection have been made, and in most instances it was found that the law had been fully observed. In one instance a ladder was condemned; in another ladders had to be lengthened and guard-rails put round the platform; and in one case I had to insist on the joists in the middle floor of a building being properly covered with boards, in order to protect workmen overhead from serious injuries in the event of a fall. There was 1 serious accident'during the period, which occurred through the total collapse of gantry and scaffolding from the front of an hotel in Napier. Fortunately all the workmen escaped uninjured, but a young lady who was passing along the street at the time was knocked down by the falling timber and seriously injured on the body and head. The injured lady is still weak as a result of the injuries she received. The cause of the accident has been ascribed to the sinking of the footpath, which had been weakened by the excavation of large cellars underneath the building, combined with the fact that the ground foundation became very soft through heavy rain. I noted that in a number of instances builders were using the Humphries patent brackets for scaffolding purposes in lieu of standards. This system of bolting iron triangles to the face of a building obviates the necessity of erecting poles in standards, and can be erected much quicker. The patent is considered safe, provided it is properly tested before working operations are commenced. Contractors were somewhat careless about putting guard rails round the platforms on this patent, and in consequence I have issued instructions that the usual precautions must be taken to safeguard the workmen employed on the patent. I have, &c, John Jackson, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

NEW PLYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, New Plymouth, 23rd April, 1913. 1 beg to submit my report on the operation of the Act in the Taranaki district for the period from the 15th October, 1912 (when I took up my duties), to the 31st March, 1913. Previous to my appointment as Inspector of Scaffolding in this district, in October, the duties were carried out by the Inspector at Wanganui. Since that time 18 notices to erect scaffolding of over 16 ft. in height have been received, and 47 visits of inspection have been made, while 32 visits have also been made in relation to scaffolding under 16 ft. The building trade has been farily busy, especially at Hawera, where several buildings are in course of erection. Very little trouble has been given by builders, and when alterations have been required the verbal instructions given have been immediately complied with. The inspection of ladders is a matter which requires constant attention, and I have had to condemn several which were unsafe. lam of opinion that Inspectors should be given the authority to have faulty or worn-out ladders destroyed. Two slight accidents have been reported. No prosecutions under the Act have taken place. I have paid several visits to Waitara, Inglewood, Hawera, Moturoa, and Patea for the purpose of inspection. I have, &c, W. Slaughter, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. WANGANUI. Sir, Department of Labour, Wanganui, 18th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. Forty-three notices of intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height from the base have been received. These related to the whole district, including the Rangitikei. In all these cases inspections have been made as far as possible while the buildings were in course of erection. The necessity of ' supervision is apparent, as in most cases, especially on the smaller jobs, sufficient care is not taken to provide a safe and proper platform to work upon. On one scaffolding which came under my notice in a country town I found workmen engaged on a single plank 10 in. in width and 30 ft. in height from the ground; the standards supporting the platform were 3 in. by 1J in., and to obtain the desired length one piece was nailed to the side of another with only from 12 in. to 12 in. lap. - No guard-rails were provided, and in no way whatever did the scaffolding comply with the regulations. This is perhaps the worst case which has come under my notice, but other cases, in some respects similar to the one mentioned, are still found. There is a growing tendency to use the Humphries brackets on wooden buildings in course of erection. While the use of these brackets may be considered satisfactory to work on where the work is of a temporary nature, or where no lifting is to be done from the platform, they are objectionable in most other cases, and it has been my duty to condemn their use on many buildings. Four prosecutions were taken for failing to give notice of intention to erect scaffoldingover the height of 16 ft.; a penalty was inflicted in each case. Six accidents were reported; none was of a serious nature, while in no case could the accident be traced to faulty scaffolding or neglect in carrying out the regulations of the Act. Throughout the year the building trade has been exceedingly busy, especially in the erection of the larger class of building, and at the present time there is a number of large buildings in course of erection. Tenders are also being called for the erection of several large business premises. In connection with the duties under the Act, I have visited New Plymouth, Hawera, Eltham, Taihape, and Marton. I have, &c, Henry E. Moston, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. WELLINGTON. Sir, Department of Labour, Wellington, 25th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st March, 1913. The year, generally speaking, has been an uneventful one, and the state of the building trades in this district can be said to have been about normal. I am glad to be able to state that very little friction has been experienced in the administration of the Act, and with a few exceptions I found that the people concerned were very willing to carry out any requirements when such were made known to them. During the year the size of the district under my control has been materially reduced. This was badly wanted, as the district was far too large before, and it was impossible to effectually keep inspected the different works situated over such a wide extent of country. It has been proposed during the year that the Scaffolding Inspection Act should be recast, and made to cover more fully all work done in connection with building operations and work pertainino- to such; this I consider very desirable and necessary. lam also of the opinion that the present Act could now be improved in some ways, as since the Act came into force (over five years ago) a good deal of alteration in the methods of building has taken place, and the nature of the materials used has also altered, steel, concrete, and stone having come more.into use. One
H.—ll
38
amendment also needed is to provide a better means of enforcing the regulations so that a prosecution could immediately follow a deliberate breach. At the present time a prosecution can not ensue until after the Inspector has given instructions to make the required alterations or additions to what is sometimes dangerous scaffolding or gear; it has often happened that temporary scaffolding of an unsafe description has been hastily erected for the purpose of doing some work on the chance that the Inspector would not discover it nor visit the place until the job was finished and the unsafe structure pulled down. During the year 304 notices of intention to erect scaffolding were received. With a few exceptions all the scaffolding was visited and inspected, and, of course, in some cases many visits were necessary. A large number of scaffolds required alterations or additions to be effected; the boarding over of open joists, the guarding of well-holes in floors, and the safety of ladders were matters that required continuous supervision. Nine prosecutions were taken for failing to give notice of intention to erect scaffolding. In 7 cases fines were imposed, 1 case was dismissed, and 1 withdrawn. Two builders were fined for permitting ladders to be used that did not extend to at least 5 ft. beyond the highest level to which such ladders were intended to afford access. These were the first cases taken under this provision. A builder in Napier was fined for failing to board over joists to the satisfaction of the Inspector, thereby causing risk of accident. During the course of a lengthy judgment the Magistrate held that the mere providing of loose boards on each floor of a building in course of erection, leaving it to the workers to spread the boards so as to avoid accident, was not sufficient compliance with subsection (2) of section 7. Thirty-four accidents were reported under the Act, none of which were fatal. One of the most serious was to a man in Wellington who lost his right arm through its being crushed while he was stacking steel girders. The majority of the accidents was slight. Taking into consideration the large number of men engaged at the building trades and the dangerous nature of the employment the proportionately small number of accidents must be considered satisfactory. In conclusion, I desire to express my thanks for the assistance, courtesy, and attention given by those with whom my duties have brought me into contact. I have, &c, R. A. Bolland, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. NELSON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Nelson, 25th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit for your consideration my report on the working of the Act for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. The building trade has been good during the year, and visits of inspection have been made to various places where buildings were in course of erection. Twenty-eight notices of intention to erect scaffolding were received, and visits paid in each case. On the whole, there was a decided improvement in the manner of construction of scaffolding, and very few scaffolds have been condemned. I 'am sorry to say that as far as ladders are concerned there was little improvement, and 20 ladders have been condemned during the year. Carpenters were the worse offenders in this respect, and often the employees were more to blame than the employers. It is pleasing to note that no accidents have occurred during the year, and this fact speaks fairly well for the class of scaffolding in use. One prosecution was taken for failing to notify the Inspector of intention to erect scaffolding, and a conviction obtained. I have, &c, S. Tyson, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. GREYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Greymouth, 24th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report on the working of the Act in Westland for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. Nine notices of intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height have been received. Visits of inspection have been made to all buildings in course of erection or undergoing alteration or repair, and wherever it has been necessary to suggest improvement in the construction of any scaffold I have personally supervised the work thereof. I have had occasion to condemn many trestles, ladders, and other gear used by workers on buildings, and as a further protection of life and limb I consider that Inspectors ought to be given power to order the destruction of such gear and to personally see this carried out. There is one description of platform which is not within the definition of scaffolding, and which I respectfully submit should be, especially where constructed of timber. I refer to fireescape platforms, and particularly the platforms running parallel to the face of wooden buildings. I have repeatedly seen these structures in quite a rotten condition, and unfit for use. If Inspectors were given power to condemn these platforms this undoubted evil would soon disappear. The various builders throughout the district appeared to be fairly familiar with the provisions of this Act, and little difficulty was met with in the administration of it. There have been only two occasions throughout the year on which it has been necessary for the Department to prosecute for non-observance of the Aot. These were for failing to give due notification of intention to erect scaffolding; in both instances convictions were obtained and fines ordered.

No accident of any moment has been reported during the period. In conclusion, I have to acknowledge the ready assistance and courtesy extended to me by the Inspector of Factories in country districts and by builders in the carrying-out of my duties. I have, <fee, H. J. Torbit, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. CHRISTCHURCH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Christchurch, 18th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report on the working of the Act in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. The year has been a busy one, and many large buildings have been erected, including the Government's new offices in. Cathedral Square, which are nearly completed. Many old buildings have been pulled down and replaced by new and up-to-date structures. Altogether, a total of £261,000 has been expended in the erection of these buildings, including residences, but this sum does not include the Boroughs of Spreydon, Riccarton, Sumner, New Brighton, Lyttelton, nor any other areas outside Christchurch City. During the year I received 536 notices from contractors of their intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height, and these necessitated frequent visits during erection. Many of the contracts carried out have been very large ones, and a considerable amount of scaffolding was needed to complete the work. There has been a general improvement during the period in the system of erection, and of the quality of material used for scaffolding, &c. It was necessary for me to take great care in seeing that the guard-rails, the lapping of boards, the fastening of ropes, splicing of poles, <fee, were attended to, as these defects are sometimes responsible for workers meeting with accidents by tripping, &c. In 88 cases attention has been drawn to these classes of defects. Seventeen scaffolds were wholly condemned as being unfit for men to work upon. Four derricks and some gear were also condemned. Fifteen batten ladders were condemned as being unfit for the use to which they were put, some of them being rotten. A fair number of scaffolding-poles or uprights used for the purpose of carrying staging was also condemned on account of their showing weakness or decay. A. close inspection has been made of all material used in the scaffolding. Visits of inspection have been made to Ashburton, Rakaia, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Oxford, Akaroa, Little River, Lyttelton, and the outlying districts of Christchurch. Four accidents on or about buildings in course of erection were reported; one of them was of a serious nature—viz., the foreman of the new Government buildings fell from a distance of 40 ft., breaking his leg and several of his ribs. The other cases were not of a serious nature. It has been necessary to take proceedings in 2 cases against employers for omitting to notify the Department of their intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height. Judgment was given in favour of the Department in each case, and penalties of £1 10s. were imposed. It would tend to a more effective working of the Act if the regulations under the Act forbade the use of rope guard-rails, batten ladders, and malleable cast bracket-eyes, used for carpenters' scaffolding, and compelled builders to use nothing but wrought iron or steel. It is desirable •also that the Act be extended, giving Inspectors more power to safeguard those workers engaged in demolishing walls, old buildings, &c. During the year it was my duty to supervise the erection of six workers' dwellings, and on their completion general satisfaction was expressed by the purchasers. It was also my duty to supervise all repair work in connection with 51 workers' dwellings in this district. The additonal work in connection with this Act entailed additional responsibilities, and a large amount of overtime work was essential for the carrying-out of my various duties. I have, <fee, Edwin J. G. Stringer, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. TIMARU. Sib, — Department of Labour, Timaru, 25th April, 1913. I beg to submit, for your consideration, my report on the working of the Act for the year ending 31st March, 1913. The building trade has been very brisk, but there was a marked falling-off towards the close of the year. I received 41 notices of intention to erect scaffolding, and all the scaffolds in connection with these have been visited, in most cases several times. I have also paid numerous visits to smaller buildings with scaffolding under 16 ft. in height, in which cases notices were not required to be sent to me. There has been a marked improvement in the class of scaffolding used on the larger buildings, but there were several instances where I had to request that alterations be made. The scaffolds on the larger buildings have been erected in accordance with the requirements of the Act, competent scaffolders were employed, and, as a rule, the men were very careful to see that every attention was given to the safety of the scaffold. There have been 13 accidents reported under the Act during the year; none of them was of a very serious nature, the worst being the fracture of a small bone in the right foot. On one
H.—ll
40
occasion a portion of a scaffolding collapsed, and precipitated 4 men to the ground, but fortunately none was seriously injured. I had visited this scaffolding two days prior to the accident, and after my visit another height of scaffolding had been erected by an inexperienced person in an improper way, and consequently as soon as the men commenced work it gave way under them. In conclusion, I would like to indorse the suggestion made by the Inspector of Scaffolding, Wellington, in his last year's report, that the Act should be amended by reducing the height of scaffolding in connection with which notice is required to be sent to the Inspector before erection. I consider this most necessary, as competent scaffolders are not usually employed on small buildings, and great carelessness is frequently shown in the erection of scaffolding in such cases. Very frequently the Inspector has not an opportunity of seeing it until it is practically completed. I must also express my thanks to the police constables acting as Inspectors of Factories in this district for their courtesy and assistance given me in carrying out my duties under this Act. I have, &c, Geo. H. Lightfoot, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. DUNEDIN. Sir, — Department of Labour, Dunedin, 26th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit the following report on the operations of the Act for the year ended the 31st March, 1913. During the period under review a considerable amount of scaffolding has been in use, principally on those buildings which were under construction last year. This fact accounts for the comparatively small number of new notices of intention to erect scaffolding exceeding 16 ft. in height which have been received during the year —viz., 68. In addition to the above, I have received a considerable number of notices re, scaffolding which did not attain the height of 16 ft. Of these I have kept no record. The number of buildings visited during the year was 182, to which 634 visits have been paid. Included in this are several extensive buildings. The whole of the scaffolding in the district has been erected and maintained in a satisfactory manner, and I am pleased to report that no accidents have ocurred on any building in course of erection during the whole of the year. On 114 different occasions I have found it necessary to call the attention of builders to defects and omissions in providing proper facilities for the safety of workmen. The most notable cause for complaint has been defective ladders. Ladders were taken on to a job in good order, but after a while in use they began to get out of repair, and no effort seems to have been made to put them into order until the Inspector complained, when the necessary repairs were executed. Some builders were worse than others in this connection, but all were to some extent remiss in providing for the proper maintenance of ladders. Another source of trouble was the neglect on employers' part to provide guard-rails around lift and stair wells and other openings in floors, and, although in some cases guard-rails were fixed, they were frequently taken away for some purpose or other and not replaced. lam continually complaining to some contractors of this practice, and they in their 'turn pass the blame on to the workers. Other defects noticed have been the bad tying of ropes, insufficient braces, and here and there a defective pole or ledger. A fair amount of work has been done in the country districts around Dunedin during the year, and I am sorry to say that the knowledge of scaffolding possessed by the employers engaged in the work has been mostly of a rudimentary character. I have consequently been required to exercise a considerable amount of supervision over them. It has been found necessary to prosecute 3 builders during the year for failing to notify the Inspector of their intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height, and in all cases penalties were inflicted. In conclusion, I beg to record my satisfaction at the desire shown on the part of both employer and employee to carry out the provisions of the Act, also the willingness with which any instructions given by the Inspector have been complied with. I have, &c, F. Barton, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding. INVERCARGILL. Sir, — Department of Labour, Invercargill, 25th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report on the work done under the Act in the Southland District for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. Twenty-eight notices to erect scaffolding were received. The total number is slightly below that of last year. I have made 145 visits of inspection to scaffolding of which notice had been sent in, and in most cases the provisions of the Act were fairly well observed. I also made 143 visits to 64 buildings in the suburbs where scaffolding was being used. Great improvement has been shown in construction of cottage scaffolding. Most of the builders have now disposed of the old makeshift ladders, and provided themselves with good and sound scaffold-planks. One scaffold in Gore was condemned and reconstructed, while two ladders in the same town were condemned and destroyed. During the year several large build-
41
H.—ll,
ings in Invercargill have been completed, including the Grand Hotel, over 70 ft. high; watercooling tower for Invercargill tramway power-house (about 70 ft.); chimney-stack for powerhouse (over 100 ft.); and chimney-stack for Waikiwi Brick-works (85 ft.). At present the" only large job under way is the new First Church building, which will require scaffolding of 95 ft. on the tower portion. I am pleased to be able to report that no accidents have occurred in connection with scaffolding during the year. The building trade has been good, and, although it is a little slack at present, several large, jobs are in the architects' hands, and will no doubt be started shortly, I have had no occasion to bring any prosecutions, any alteration required being immediately attended to. The builders in the district have given me every assistance in carrying out my duties, for . which I have to thank them. I have, &c, • James Brown, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding REPORTS OF WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT BRANCHES OF THE DEPARTMENT. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Auckland, 26th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. During the period just closed 2,258 applications were received from employers desiring servants and 857 from women desiring employment. Out of these numbers 591 engagements have been made — i.e., 72 married and 519 single women were sent to employment. This shows an increase on last year's operations. In addition to the above, a large number of women who through physical weakness and other causes were unfit to lead an active life has been assisted, to the best of my ability, throughout the year. In connection with this subject I would like to say that amongst the women applying for employment were a number who were not physically fit for work, while a few were somewhat defective mentally, so that in some cases they could not conscientiously be placed in domestic employment, especially where there were young children in the home. Generally the types enumerated were of strict moral character and good principle; most of them were friendless, and only temporary relief could be given. Immigration. There have been 135 immigrants placed in employment throughout the year. Those arriving, from Home were mostly housemaids, parlourmaids, and very good cooks, who demanded a wage over and above what is paid in the Dominion. Very few would accept general work. Hotelkeepers could get all the hands they required, but it was in the private home where domestic assistance is urgently required. The " general " (the maid of all work) who would be satisfied with a weekly wage of 15s. is the type of girl urgently needed in the Dominion, as it is only in the minority of cases where mistresses can really afford to pay more. I have had on an average about 60 applications for "generals" from private homes per month, and I have not had on an average 10 women who will accept this kind of work. The following is the summary of business done during the year :—
In many cases several engagements were made for one worker. I have, <feo., H. R. Morrison, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington, Officer in Charge,

, , MASTERTON. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Masterton, 25th April, 1913. 1 have the honour to submit, for your consideration, my report on the work of this branch during the year ended 31st March, 1913. The branch as a central agency for the assistance of female workers is now very well established in this district, and has been taken advantage of by employers requiring female assistants and helps. There have not, however, been nearly sufficient applications from female workers to satisfy the demand, and the dearth in this direction steadily continues. During the year 68 applications were received from employers for domestic helps and other assistants, whilst 27 applications were received from employees, of whom 17 were suitably placed in situations. Very fair wages have been offered, in some cases up to £1 7s. 6d. per week. I have, <fee, E. M. Ratner, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Officer in Charge. WELLINGTON. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Wellington, 22nd April, 1913. I beg to submit my annual report on the work of the Women's Employment Bureau during the year ending 31st March, 1913. The number of persons assisted —viz., 649—exceeded only in the year 1909-10, when 748 persons were sent to work. The total number of women workers actually assisted since its establishment five years ago is 3,258; of this total, 1,011 were married and 2,247 single women. The applications from employers far exceeded the number of hands applying, and during the last twelve months at least one out of every two mistresses seeking domestic workers has had to suffer disappointment, The demand may be fairly stated to be as acute as ever it was, while the rate of wages has increased considerably. It was not unusual a few years back to make the majority of engagements of domestics at wages ranging from 10s. to 12s. per week, but during the last few years the range has been from 15s. to £1 for domestics, and for other classes of workers as follows: Lady-helps, 10s. to 155.; house and parlour maids, 15s. to £1; nurses, 15s. to £1; housekeepers, 10s. to £1; laundresses, £1 to £1 55.; cooks, £1 upwards; seamstresses, ss. per day. As was pointed out last year, the rate of wages now ruling is claimed by employers to be beyond their ability to pay, as in addition to wage outlay (say, 1.85.) the extra cost of keeping a servant in a house in AVellington may be stated at 12s. per week, making an average total expense of £1 10s. per week. The inadequate supply of servants is met to some extent by the freer engagement of day-workers; an increasing number of such workers is available from to year, and a new feature of this phase of work is the entrance of comparatively young women and girls into a field hitherto frequented by widows and married women only. The ruling rate of wages paid to such workers is from ss. to 6s. per day with meals. This amount is freely offered for women able to wash clothes and do the heavier work required about a house. In my opinion the rate of 6s. per day (or 3s. for half-day) is little enough for the work expected. Some better arrangements for meals should also be effected, as at present an adequate midday meal is not always provided; this arises in most cases.out of pure thoughtlessness. Many of the day-workers leave home in the early morning to be at work at 8 a.m., and naturally look for something more substantial in the way of fare than a cup of tea and bread-and-butter. The employment available for women workers which is subject to awards or industrial agreements is still the most popular with the girls. Experienced waitresses for shop-work— i.e., in tea-rooms, <fee. —are fairly easily procured, as the hours are limited to fifty-two per week and the wages (£1 7s. 6d. per week) are considered to be fair. If domestic service could have defined conditions in a similar way it would certainly tend to attract more workers to it. In my opinion the girls are infinitely better off, from a financial point of view, in domestic service, as they can save practically the whole of their earnings that are not required for dress. The number of persons assisted, largely from Great Britain, was 131, which is the highest total reached during the last three years. The assistance afforded to employers by the immigration of these girls has not, however, been effective in coping with the demand made upon this office. I have, &c, E. R. Bremner, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Officer in Charge. NELSON. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Nelson, 28th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report on the working of this branch of the Department for the year ending the 31st March, 1913. The difficulty of obtaining women for all classes of work is still very serious, and an everincreasing difficulty has been experienced in obtaining girls for domestic work. All sorts of concessions have been offered by mistresses, but although restrictions are fewer, wages better, and
43
H.-ii
environments improved, girls have not been available. The town mistress welcomes and utilizes largely the day-worker, but the country mistress is debarred from even this assistance on account of distance. Only a small number of immigrants have called at the office during the year. Pea, fruit, and hop picking : As is usual in this district a large number of women workers has earned a comparative independence at pea, fruit, and hop picking, for which the weather and crops have been exceptionally good. Even in these industries growers complained, of the difficulty of obtaining labour. Dressmaking and tailoring : The dearth of girls willing to learn these trades has grown remarkably, and employers find it impossible to cope with orders. Jam-preserving and biscuit and confectionery manufacturing: Quite a large number of women workers is needed each year for these factories, and a large amount of fruit has not been handled on account of the scarcity of workers. During the year 525 applications have been received from employers and 132 from workers seeking employment. 116 of the latter were placed in suitable employment. I have, &c, M. Emerson, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Officer in Charge. CHRISTCHURCH. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Christchurch, 25th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit my report on the working of the above branch of the Department during the year ending the 31st March, 1913. There have been 2,777 applications received from employers and 493 from employees. Of the latter, 427 have been found suitable employment, 45 of whom were married and 382 single women. Compared with last year, there has been a decrease in the number assisted, but this is not surprising, as the difficulty in securing help of any kind is becoming daily more and more keenly felt. Higher wages have been offered to induce girls to accept positions, but only a very small percentage of help could be obtained in comparison with the demand. It has been equally hard to obtain women workers for other branches, especially for dressmaking and laundry-work. Great demands have been made for the latter, as, owing to the scarcity of domestics, people have been compelled to send their laundry-work out, There has been no difficulty in getting employment for women and girls, except for a class for whom it is always difficult to find employment —viz., those whose demands are too exacting. The majority of the workers have endeavoured to obtain positions in private homes or public institutions in or near the city, so that country residents requiring help have been put to great inconvenience through not being able to obtain it. Mistresses from these parts would willingly take inexperienced girls, train them, and pay them high wages, but they are not available. Constant inquiries about " Home " girls have been made at the office, and the arrival of vessels is eagerly looked for. Those girls who have called have been at once placed in good positions, and have often returned to express gratitude for what has been done for them. With few exceptions, these girls have given satisfaction. Great inconvenience has been caused at times by employers and employees omitting to notify us when they have been suited elsewhere. The remedy adopted in case of girls who, after making an engagement, disappoint an employer is to strike their names off the cards, unless a reasonable excuse is given.

DUNEDIN. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Dunedin, 22nd April, 1913. I have the honour to report on the business done for the year ended 31st March, 1913. During the period under review 1,372 applications have been registered—viz., 1,057 from employers and 315 from workers, of whom 272 were placed in employment. Of the latter number 35 were found employment on more than one occasion. The difficulty regarding the great dearth of domestic assistants has continued, and it is evidently a growing one, especially in the South Island, as most of the immigrant vessels arrive in the north. During the past year two overseas vessels which arrived here have been met, when advice was tendered and every assistance, including employment, offered to the new arrivals. Expressions of keen disappointment were manifest from would-be employers when it was found that not one domestic assistant was procurable from either of the boats. The growing distaste for domestic service can scarcely be questioned, and the solution of some remedy whereby such work would be made more congenial is urgently needed. Whilst conditions as to wages and outings have been greatly improved,, the long hours exacted in some cases is the bone of contention. If shorter hours of work were arranged for and payment made for extra hours worked as in other kinds of employment, which would be equitable to both employer and servant, I think that more domestic workers would be offering. The fact of being on the same footing as to hours and other conditions as their sister-workers engaged in other avenues of employment would encourage and attract girls to follow this calling, as well as tend to raise the status of the domestic worker. Something, however, may be said regarding efficiency, for while there are maids who take an interest in their work and delight in doing it well, there are, unfortunately, those who are incompetent and careless; consequently the latter class are tolerated only under extreme circumstances, and have to change about from place to place. The following is a classified summary of the applications received and the vacancies filled for the year : —

REPORTS FROM CONCILIATION COMMISSIONERS. AUCKLAND. Report of the Conciliation Commissioner of the Northern and Taranaki Industrial Districts for the Year ending 31st March, 1913. Sir, — Commissioner's Office, Auckland, 15th April, 1913. I have the honour to submit, for the Hon. the Minister's information, my report on 40 separate trade disputes, many of which cover the whole of the Northern (Auckland) Industrial District, for the year ending 31st March, 1913, which have been disposed of as follows : Fully settled, as per list below marked "A," 22; partially settled, " B," 9; referred to Arbitration Court, " C," 9 : total, 40. Nine disputes were settled amicably without the aid of assessors, and the remaining 31 were dealt with by the Conciliation Councils. In addition to the above disputes, I have presided over a large number of informal conferences, with the result that differences which had arisen in connection with various industrial matters have been satisfactorily adjusted without recourse to either the Magistrates' or Arbitration Court. An excellent conciliatory spirit has prevailed in all the disputes which have come before me, and both employers and employed have shown a desire to meet each other in a fair and friendly manner. Many of the partially settled disputes have been referred to the Court on one or two issues only. Even where it has been found impossible to arrive at a settlement, the disputes have been passed on to the Court without any ill feeling being engendered. In conclusion, I desire to gratefully acknowledge the courtesy and assistance I have at all times received from the officers of the Department of Labour. (A.) Disputes fully settled.

Applications for Awards heard by the Court in which no Award was made.
Trade. District. Particulars. Bakers and pastrycooks. . Wellington In this case the workers' association applied to the Court for directions in regard to the procedure to be followed in order to obtain a Dominion award under the provisions of section 4 of the 1911 amendment to the Act. The Court advised the association to abandon its attempt to obtain an award under the provisions of section 4. Tho procedure appeared to the Court to bo so complicated and confused that months would probably have olapsed before the hearing could bo reached. The Court recommended the association to have proceedings taken by the local unions in the industrial districts concerned, for the purpose of obtaining local awards in the usual way, and then, as there appeared to be no objection to having the whole case heard in one centre, the hearing of all the local disputes could take place in Wellington. The Court would then be able to make uniform awards for the industrial districts concerned, which would, in effect, be a Dominion award. (The Court's recommendation was carried out, and awards have since been obtained as suggested above.) What purports to be an agreement arrived at between the workers' union and the employers had been forwarded to the Court, with a request that the provisions of it should be embodied in an award. It, appeared, however, that no steps had been taken to have the dispute heard before a council of conciliation, and the Court therefore held that it had no jurisdiction to embody the alleged agreement in an award. In this case four employers were the applicants. An application for cancellation of its registration as an industrial union had been made by the workers' union, and it was postponed by the Registrar by reason of the supposed pendency of the conciliation proceedings. It appeared, howevor, from the proceedings in the hearing of the dispute that while the dispute was filed by the employers before the filing of the application for cancellation the commencement of proceedings under section 73 of the 1908 Amendment, deemed to be when the assessors for the hearing of the dispute are appointed, was subsequent to the filing of the application for cancellation. The Court had jurisdiction therefore to made an award, but refused to do so, on the ground that the union had legally been entitled to cancellation, and for tho reason that the ovideneo showed that the union and the employers employing 90 per cent, of the labour affected by the dispute were opposed to the making of an award. An application made under section 3 of the 1911 amendment to the Act, to doclare an industrial agreement an award, was refused on the grounds (a) that tho term for which the agreement had been made was in excess of the limit allowed by the Act—-i.e., three years from the date of making of agreement; and (b) that the evidence did not prove that the agreement was binding on employers who employed a majority of the workers in the industry to which it related in the industrial district in which it was made. The Court further expressed an opinion that it would be useless to make any further application under the section in question until it had been put into an intelligible shape.

Clauses 25 and 14, respectively, state that they " shall continue in force until any change is made by legislation in any of the conditions fixed by the respective awards: that on any such change being made all the provisions of the respective awards shall cease to operate, and that thereafter the conditions of employment shall be fixed by agreement between each employer and the individual workers employed by him." The effect of the Shops and Offices Amendment Act, 1910, was to reduce the hours of work of hotel assistants, but section 11, however, suspended its operation in regard to awards then in force. The respective periods for which these awards were made have now expired, so that the alteration has taken effect, and therefore the provisions of clauses 25 and 14 of the respective awards would appear to have come into operation, other provisions ceased to operate. The awards, other than Auckland City and Wellington City, have come into operation since the passing of the Shops and Offices Amendment Act, 1910, and therefore are not affected in the same way.

APPENDIX. STATISTICS CONCERNING THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES OF NEW ZEALAND. Showing the Actual Number of Persons employed in each Trade throughout the Yeah 1910-11; their Average Duration of Employment; their Average Weekly Earnings ineach Trade during the Period of Employment ; and their Average Weekly Earnings in each Trade throughout the Year. Hitherto the tables published by the Department, from its inception in 1891, have comprised merely the number of persons employed at a given date of each year —viz., at the time of the annual registration of factories—with the rates at which they were then employed. In the appendix to last year's report the first of a series of tables to be compiled upon the above subject was published. This table showed the information in the several cities and provincial districts. During the past year Tables II and 111 have been completed, and are now published in this appendix. Table II shows the results as for the whole of New Zealand divided into the various industries, while Table 111 shows similar results as for the whole of New Zealand divided into the various trades carried on, whether in the same industries or not. For example, while Table II shows the results for the whole of the workers employed in, say, the meat-freezing industry throughout New Zealand, Table 111 will show the information for the whole of, say, the engine-drivers employed (in the various industries) throughout New Zealand. The following are extracts from the introductory remarks to these tables as published last year and accompanying Table I : — In respect to the item " Aver-age duration of employment" (column 5 in Tables II and III), it should be noted that for the purpose of arriving at this information it has been assumed that when there were occasional and short breaks in the employment of any worker —generally not exceeding at any one time seven days —due to the fluctuation of the trade, to irregular attendance, to sickness, or other causes, he was not likely to have obtained other employment, and such periods have therefore been included in the period during which his total wages were earned —viz., "Duration of employment"; for example, a worker may have performed forty weeks' work during the year, but owing to occasional breaks it may have taken him forty-five weeks to earn the forty weeks' wages; in the tables the total wages thus earned have therefore been divided by forty-five instead of by forty, in order to arrive at the average earnings throughout the " duration of employment " (see column 8). The irregular attendance of female workers for reasons other than sickness has been the cause of frequent complaint by employers. It may be assumed that the average earnings of females as shown in columns 8 and 9 would generally have been higher had they attended more regularly to their employment. In any case where an employee worked in more than one factory, although his employment was shown in the return from each factory, he has, by means of the method adopted in the compilation of the tables, been counted as one employee only —viz., at the time when the greatest number were employed. In many cases, too, workers were employed in more than one city or district during the year, and in order to ascertain the actual duration of employment in the trade generally throughout New Zealand, with the average earnings throughout that period, it will therefore be necessary to refer to Tables II and 111. Thus, while in each of four districts there might have been 100 persons employed in a given trade for an average of 40 weeks, earning £2 10s. per week throughout that period, the result of the whole would be, say, 350 persons (not 400) for 45 weeks, and earning £2 10s. 9£d. per week throughout that period. In Tables II and 111 it will be seen that the number of workers employed in each month of the year is given in respect to each trade, and in this way the tables disclose interesting information as to the tendency of each trade to increase or decrease in its demand for labour, and as to those other trades in which employment is intermittent. In regard to the increasing trades, it should be noted, however, that this information does not in all cases disclose the full extent of the tendency to increase the demand for labour, as in a number of cases—principally of females and boys in the clothing trades —the supply of labour has at times been insufficient to meet the requirements of the employers; had the supply been sufficient the figures would, of course, show a larger number of persons employed. Coming to the intermittent trades, the following results are ascertained in respect to meat-slaughtering, which is probably the most fluctuating of all trades: The highest number employed in Wellington City was in' January, 157; Christchurch, April, 195; Auckland District, February, 106; Hawke's Bay, December, 157; Canterbury (country), May, 314; and so on. Placing the returns for the various districts of New Zealand together, it has been ascertained that the number employed throughout New Zealand varied from 162 in September, 1910, to 1,155 in March, 1911. Therefore, 1,155 has been taken as the actual

number of employees; their average duration of employment was 33' 12 weeks, and the average earnings throughout that period was £3 4s. 2£d., and for the whole year £2 Os. lid., per week, in respect to the average earnings in this industry, however, it should be explained that the 33 - 12 weeks' " duration of employment " includes a number of occasions when the few slaughtermen then employed were engaged for only an hour or two per day; so that, while during the main portion of the period the earnings averaged up to £7 per week, the actual average earnings throughout the whole period was £3 4s. 2jd. In regard to column 5, "Duration of employment" : it should perhaps also be explained that in those eases in which the number of workers increased during the year (as ascertained from the total number employed in each month) column 5 does not in all cases indicate the average number of weeks in which employment was available, but merely the average number of weeks' work performed. The extent to which each trade has increased or decreased, in the number of workers employed, or the extent to which it has been intermittent, will be readily seen from the number employed in the various months. The amount of wages paid to casual hands, and referred to in the footnotes to the various trades, is the total amount paid in wages to all employees who worked in any factory for a shorter period than four weeks during the year. In some cases the employees to whom these amounts were paid were no doubt the same employees as are included in the tables, and a slight increase in some of the figures shown might therefore have been made. As no definite information on the subject was obtainable, and the amounts were small, no increase has been included. It will be seen that in Tables II and 111 the figures relate to the whole of the persons employed in the various trades, irrespective of age. In this connection it is proposed, should an opportunity offer during the coming year, to compile a further table setting forth the average earnings, the duration of their employment, &c. X of journeymen and journeywomen only (in the various trades). This table will probably be published as an appendix to next year's report.
