DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR (REPORT OF THE).

Presented to both House* of the General Assembly by Command of Ills Excellency.

X B PO RT. The Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister of Labour. Sir,--- Department of Labour, Wellington, 30th June, 1920. 1 have the honour to present herewith the twenty-ninth annual report of this Department, for the information of His Excellency the Governor-General, and to be laid before Parliament, in compliance with the Labour Department and Labour Day Act, 1908, and the Factories Act, 1908. The report covers the financial year Ist April, 1919, to 31st March, 1920. Owing to the acute shortage of paper and to the pressure of important work, the report has been made as brief as possible I have, &c, F. W. Rowley, The Hon. the Minister of Labour. Secretary of Labour. Conditions of Trade and Employment. The reports from branches generally indicate that almost without exception the demand for labour has exceeded the supply. A return compiled in November last from information obtained from the occupiers of factories in the, various trades, in fact, revealed a considerable, shortage of labour in many of the Dominion's manufacturing industries, and that quite a number of machines have been idle —viz., woollen-milling, clothing and boot manufacturing (all branches), motor and general engineering, the various building trades, sawmiUing, furniture-making, and fruit and confectionerymaking. Men's Employment Bureaux. Number of engagements, 4,205, with 2,709 dependants; 1,638 were sent to private employment and 2,567 to Government works. Women's Employment Bureaux. —Number of engagements: Auckland, 401 ; Wellington, 421 ; Christohuroh, 303; Dtinedin, 242; Nelson, 39: total, 1,406. The number is Mo less than for the previous twelve months, which in turn showed a decrease of I 10 on the preceding year's figures. During the year two ladies representing the Imperial Government visited bhe Dominion for the purpose i f making inquiries as to the opportunities for women workers hen , particularly war workers who have had experience as institutional cooks, housekeepers, &C. Every assistance was given them, and it is hoped that before long a considerable number of domestic workers will come to New Zealand. Seeing, however, that there, is also an acute shortage of Ihese workers in England and elsewhere, it would be well if those persons in the Dominion thai need assistance in their domestic work would look to the possibilities of overcoming the difficulty by the. establishment of communal kitchens and laundries, and by introducing into their houses every possible labour-saving device. This has been urged, and some examples relating to Ihese matters have been given in the Department's last two annual reports. 1 understand that it is now proposed to establish a communal kitchen in Dunedin.

Apprentices. In order to ascertain the movement in the number of apprentices in the principal trades of the Dominion, employers in those trades in which apprentices are employed were requested to furnish returns showing the number employed by them as at April in each of the past six years. The table given below has been compiled from the information thus obtained :--

The decreases in the several building trades are significant. As the apprentice question has become an important one, it is proposed to collect similar information each year, and these particulars will be published annually. Occupations of the People. Several years ago a, table was prepared by the Department showing, from the census returns of 189.1 to 1906, the number of persons engaged in each occupation throughout the Dominion, from which could be ascertained the extent of the migration of the people from the country to the towns, and whether the population was engaged in as useful occupations in 1906 as in 1891. It will be remembered that the statistics of the population of the various boroughs, counties, and other local districts suggested that there has been a steady migration at a considerable rate from the country to the towns, and that while a few years ago the larger number of the Dominion's population was in the country, that position has since been reversed. The figures are : .1891- counties, 56 per cent, of the population ; boroughs, 43 per cent. 1916 —counties, 46 per cent, of the population ; boroughs, 53 per cent. The information gathered from the above-mentioned table indicated, however, that there was in fact (at all events during that period) an Increased proportion of the people engaged in farming and other productive pursuits. Probably the impression given by the statistics showing the increase in the population of the towns was partly caused by the fact that a tendency has existed from year to year to widen the area within the jurisdiction of boroughs and town districts, thereby showing an apparent movement of the people where no such movement has actually taken place. An up-to-date; table showing the present grouping of the people in the various occupations and the movement that has taken place from 1906 to date would no doubt be of great interest sit the present time in view of the urgent need for increased production of various commodities of the Dominion, but as the last census taken was in 1916, when a large number of men were as the war, it will be necessary to postpone the compilation of such table until 1921, after the next census is taken.

Expenditure of Councils and Court. Councils of Conciliation, £3,981 (increase £239) ; Court of Arbitration, £4,244 (increase £149) ; total, £8,225. Tliia includes the salaries of the Conciliation Commissioners (£1,750) and of the members of the Court (£2,800). Registration of Industrial Unions and Associations. During the period twenty-five new workers' unions and one employers' union were registered. The usual statutory return (to 31st December, 1919) of the unions registered'under the Act, with their membership at that date, is published herewith as an Appendix. Comparison with the previous year's records shows that there has been a decrease of eight in the number of employers' unions, with a decrease in membership of 200. The total number of workers' unions increased by ten and the total membership by 1,105. Owing to there having been a large number of amendments to rules, many involving complete levision, this branch of the Department has been very busily engaged. A booklet, " Notes on the Registration of Industrial Unions under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, together with Specimen Rules," has been published by the. Department. This booklet . tate as fully and clearly as possible the present law relating to industrial unions and associations, and contains lour sets of spacimen rules. It is hoped that the publication of this booklet will obviate the delay and misunderstanding that has in the past occasionally taken place in connection with the registration of rules, and that the booklet will be a, convenience to industrial unions and a, (sociations. Decisions of Interest given during the Year. Vase arising out of ike Influenza Epidemic. —in a case taken in the Magistrate's Court by an Inspector of Awards against the licensee of a hotel it was decided that, provided the engagement has not been terminated by the requisite notice, an employer is obliged to pay wages to an employee dujing his temporary absence through sickness or for the period when places of business were closed by order of the District Health Officer during the influenza epidemic. This ruling, if applied to other cases, is of course subject to the terms of the engagement and to the provisions of any award or industrial agreement affecting it.—(Book of Awards, Vol. XX, p. 490. J War Legislation and Statute Law Amendment Act, 1918, Section IS.-- This section provides that the Court of Arbitration may, if it thinks fit, on the application of any industrial union, amend the provisions of an award or industrial agreement with respect to the rates of wages on account of the increase in the cost of living. in a memorandum dated 19th April, 1919, the Court gave an indication of the general principles upon which, it is proposed to deal with applications under this section. For the purposes of uniformity it was p oposed to fix the basic wages for skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers at Id. 7|d. Is. 4|d. to Is. 6d., and Is. 3|d. per hour respectively,* which wages should not be subject to variation during the currency of the award except*that in addition a bonus would be given from time to time to compensate for the increase in the cost of living. The Court decided to adjust these bonuses half-yearly as at March and September in each year in accordance with the rise or fall in the cost of living as ascertained for the Dominion by the Government Statistician (Book of Awards, Vol. XX, p. 403). A very large number of increases of wages have been given under this provision. Prosecutions. During the year 777 prosecutions were instituted by the Department, of which two were against workers for breaches of an award arid 119 were against employers for breaches of awards, agreements, and various provisions of the Act. Proceedings were taken for nineteen strikes, nine against the unions concerned, and ten against the workers, numbering 047. Particulars of the chief cases are as follow :- - Industrial Disturbances. Then; were sixty-live industrial disturbances during the year, thirty-nine of which involved the cessation of work for only one day or less, and may therefore be classed as trivial. In addition to the complete stoppages of work, a " go-slow " policy was put into operation in nil the principal coal-mines in the Dominion in September, 1919, following on the refusal of the mine-owners to accept the miners' terms at a conference in Wellington. At a second conference in February, presided over by the Prime Minister, an agreement was reached, and normal work was, it is understood, resumed about the Ist March. We are informed that the approximate loss in output due to the operation of the goslow policy amounted to 186,850 tons in all, and the estimated loss in wages to £50,790. The following is a short statement of the more serious of the other industrial disputes that required attention within the period : Otaihape Slaughtermen and Freezing-works Assistants- Eighty-five employees demanded an increase in wages on the rates being paid to them in pursuance of an award of the Arbitration Court. The increase was granted on the understanding that the men would work harmoniously for I lie remainder of the year. On the following morning demands relating to dining-room accommodation and improved cooking facilities were made, and the workers, not receiving an immediate reply from the manager, who had to submit the matter to his directors, struck work. The demands were conceded, and the men resumed after being out for three days. Proceedings were taken. Kive were fined £5 each, forty-six others £1 each, while in the remaining cases proceedings are pending. Butchers in Retail Trade, Auckland. — Demands for increased wages were made, and, not receiving a, reply within the time stipulated, the, members of the union, numbering approximately 250, struck. After the strike had lasted three weeks the dispute was settled by adopting as a basis the wages

provided in the Wellington Butchers' award. These men were bound by an award prescribing the minimum wages and other conditions of employment. Proceedings were therefore instituted, and a fine of £20 was imposed on the union. Slaughtermen and Chamber Hands, Auckland, Southdown, and Wetslfield. ■■- In order to compel the employers to comply with the demands made by the Butchers' Union in the foregoing case, the slaughtermen discontinued their employment, and the chamber hands refused to handle meat for the Auckland retail trade until the Butchers' dispute was settled. In each case the penalty to which they would reader themselves Liable was pointed out to them before they struck. The men were prosecuted, each of the slaughtermen being lined .£3 and costs, while in the cases against the chamber hands the Magistrate's decision has not yet been given. Imlay Freezing-works Employees (Wanganui).-- The employees discontinued work upon the company's refusing to accede to their demands for an increase for killing wet sheep. Three days later a conference was arranged at which the workers agreed to resume under the old conditions. The men being bound by an award, proceedings were taken, two men being fined £10 and costs, and twentytwo others £5 and costs. Flaxmitt Employees, Makerua (Manawatu). —These men were working under an award, and in an agreement between the employers and the union it was provided that should a revision of the scale of wages be necessary one month's notice on either side should be given. Considering that the flax was of poorer quality than usual, the. men demanded an increase of 2s. a ton ; the employer: conceded Is. a ton increase pending a conference, but the men, refusing to accept this, ceased work. Proceedings are being taken. Engineers, Iron and Brass Moulders, and Boilermakers , Unions, Chrislvhurch. The members of these unions, who were, working under awards providing for the payment of a war bonus in addition to the ordinary rate of wages, decided not to work any further overtime until the employers took into account the war bonus in computing the amount of overtime payable, which the Court had ruled they need not do, Proceedings were taken. The question at issue was whether the employers had the light to expect their employees to work overtime. The Magistrate decided that it is the duty of the worker to obey an order to work overtime, provided that such, order is reasonable. Bach of the three unions was fined £10. Roslyn Woollen-mills Employees. — Fourteen employees working under an award discontinued their employment as a result of the action of the employers in deciding to replace a sub-foreman who, the firm alleged, had insufficient control over the workers. Twelve adult males were prosecuted and fined £2 and costs. North Cape Coal-miners, Nelson.— A dispute arose because the employers transferred to different work a man employed on the surface on weekly wages—a right conferred upon them by the industrial agreement. The man, refusing to perform this work, was dismissed. The miners requested that he should be reinstated, and the company agreed to re-employ him as a trucker in the mine-- an arrangement, however, to which the miners would not agree. The men then struck. Proceedings were taken in the Magistrate's Court, where judgment was given for the defendants on the ground that the industrial agreement was invalid in that it was made for a longer period than that allowed by law. An appeal, was made to the Arbitration Court, which decided in favour of the Department. The case was then referred to the Magistrate, who fined each of the miners £5 and costs. Green Island Coal-miners, Dunedin. The. Miners' Union demanded a, variation in the workingconditions, to which the owners, who contended that such conditions were governed by the existing award, refused to agree. The men struck. After work had been discontinued lor ten Weeks the dispute was finally settled by a conference. Seventy-eight miners were prosecuted, and in each ease a fine of £2 and costs was imposed. Taratu Coal-miners, Dunedin.- These miners discontinued employment owing to the allegedly wrongful dismissal of a worker. After the mine had been idle for four days the men resumed unconditionally, and subsequently the dismissed worker was reinstated. The men being bound by an. award, proceedings were taken ; two were fined £3, forty-seven £2, and one £1, and costs in each case. Engineers, Boilermakers, and Iron and Brass Moulders , Unions, Auckland. -After the Arbitration. Court had decided that in computing the amount of overtime the war bonus was not to be taken into consideration, the above unions decided to work no further overtime until the decision of the Court was reversed or until a written guarantee that the war bonus would be included in the computation was obtained from the ironmasters' Association. In this action about six hundred members of the Allied Iron Trades Unions were involved. Proceedings were taken and each union was fined £50. No doubt, many of the strikes mentioned wore largely due to the general industrial unrest prevailing in other parts of the world, ft is a, curious fact that nearly all unions in New Zealand, including those that have taken part in the strikes mentioned, have preserved their registration under the Industrial. Conciliation and Arbitration Act, which makes strikes by the workers concerned unlawful ; while very few of them have elected to come under the alternative—Labour Disputes Investigation Act- which permits a strike taking place after a reasonable time, has been allowed for investigation and publicity.* Possibly this anomalous position is due rather to the impatience of the moment, one, of the aftermaths of the war, than to a determination to adopt the strike weapon as the, usual method of redressing grievances. The fact that so few unions have exercised their right to cancel registration under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act goes to support the view that the workers prefer to remain under the protection of that Act, which now provides for increases of wages from time to time on account of the increase of the, cost of living, in support of this view the, opinion has been recently expressed by those with a knowledge of the subject that industrial conditions throughout the Dominion are

* There were on the 31st March, 1.9:20, 519 awards and industrial agreements in foroe, whiJe only eleven agreements were in operation outside of the Act.

satisfactory on the whole, and that the frequent reference to industrial unrest, which does not exist to any great extent, is not warranted. A good deal of criticism has, of late, years, been made respecting the work of the Arbitration Court and also regarding the constitution of that Court. In this connection it may be interesting to point out that the intention of the original Act was primarily to abolish "sweating" by fixing minimum wages for any workers that chose to register thereunder, leaving the. ordinary law of supply and demand to determine the actual wages to be paid, and in this the Court has fulfilled its purpose ; but the minimum wages have been in many cases forced into what has become a standard wage, with a tendency to levelling the workers' wages up and down towards that amount. The fixing of a standard wage is no doubt practicable enough in unskilled or semi-skilled employments like those of waterside workers and coal-miners, but in skilled occupations some supplementary machinery (such as the setting-up of a shop committee for each establishment) seems to be required to fix the actual conditions, over and above the minimum, for the particular workers concerned, according to their skill. Labour Disputes Investigation Act. Very few industrial disputes have come within the scope of this Act since its inception in 1913, nearly all unions evidently preferring to maintain their registrations under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act and have their disputes dealt with thereunder. Pour disputes were heard during the period under review. The unions concerned were all situated in Auckland, and the claims were for increased wages and improved conditions. With one exception satisfactory settlements were arrived at and agreements died. Particulars of the four, oases are as follow :

Disputes dealt with under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act, 1913, during Year ending 31st March, 1920.

Workkris' Compensation Act. During the year the Court of Arbitration heard and determined twenty-six cases under this Act, in eighteen of which oral judgment was delivered. No case calls for special mention. Shearers' and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Acts. Shearers. — In November last a new Shearers' Accommodation Bill, setting out in detail the accommodation to be provided, was passed by Parliament, to come into operation on the Ist July, 1920. In the requisitions that have been served during the year Inspectors have had regard to the requirements of the new Act in order that sheepowners may not be put to the expense of providing certain accommodation that year under the existing Act and having to alter it next year in pursuance of the 1919 Act.. The visit- of inspection made to sheep-stations numbered 71 (j, and 380 notices to effect improvements were served. In a, number of instances the accommodation had so far fallen into decay that entirely new accommodation was ordered. Owing to the shortage of labour and material, however, it has been found necessary in some cases to extend the time, allowed in order to enable employers to complete the work. In three instances cases were taken in the Magistrate's Court to have the notices enforced. Fresh notices were subsequently served on the owners to provide accommodation in pursuance of the new Act. Sawmill Employees. -169 inspections made, and thirty-one notices served to effect alterations. There have been considerable improvements in the housing conditions as a result. One case was taken in the Magistrate's Court against an employer in order to have the notice enforced, Threnhiv(f-miU Emploi/ees. -Thirty-nine inspections were made, and in four instances it wa-s necessary to serve notices to improve the accommodation. A clause in the Arbitration Court's award governing this industry sets out in detail the accommodation that is to be provided for the workers.

Flax-mill Employees. —Seventy-seven inspections were made, and two notices served to effeci improvements in the accommodation, No complaints have been received during the year. Agricultural Labourer*. Two hundred and nineteen visits of inspection were made, and eighteen notices were served on employers to effeci improvement*. Generally speaking, the agricultural labourers are well housed. Scaffolding Inspection Act. In view of the housing shortage and of the difficulty of obtaining materials and labour, it is pleasing to note that a considerable increase in the number of notices of intention to erect scaffolding lias taken place during the year. The following shows the number of notices received in each of the years 1913-14 to date: 1913-14,1,488; 1914-15,1,453; 1915-16,937; 1916 17,888; 1917 18, 706 ; 1918-19, 666 ; 1919 20, 897. Although these figures refer to large buildings (i.e., where scaffoldings over 16 it. in height are required) they indicate that building operations generally are increasing, and the effect of the war on the trade will no doubt be less apparent from now on. There were fifty-six accidents, one of which was fatal. No blame was attachable to any one, all precautions having been taken. Five other accidents were of a serious nature. There were five prosecutions. Otherwise the provisions of the Act appear to have been well observed. Servants' Registry Offices Act. Number of offices registered, 70. Only one complaint of a breach of the Act was received, and generally the businesses are conducted, in a satisfactory manner. There were no prosecutions. Footwear Regulation Act. A large number of inspections have been made under this Act in both town and country districts by the footwear inspectors, in conjunction with their other duties as Inspectors of Factories. Shops, &c. Inspectors report that the requirements of the Act have generally been well observed and that very few complaints have been received. Although a small amount of shoddy material was detected it was in most instances stamped as required by the law. The absence of shoddy stocks is attributed to the fact that during the war and up to the present time New Zealand goods have largely taken the place of imported footwear.

War Legislation Amendment Act (Rent Restriction).

These figures show an increase of eighty-six over the total number of applications received last year, and an increase of twenty-six for Wellington. It will be seen that in 157 of the 320 cases filed the inquiries made by the Department resulted in the reduction of the rents. The Act has continued to prove of considerable benefit to tenants, especially in Wellington, and also to returned soldiers. As the rent-restriction law is a, war measure it is of a temporary nature, and will, unless revived, cease to operate in August next. It is recommended that it be continued for a further twelve months. Some comment continues to be made on the fact that in numbers of instances tenants who are protected by the rent-restriction law have made undue profits by subletting parts of their houses, even to the extent of enabling themselves to live rent-free or to make a profit above that. It does not appear to be generally known yet thait the Act applies to a part of a house that is let for residential purposes as well as to the whole of it, although, for various reasons, it may be somewhat difficult to give efiect to this provision. The Department makes careful inquiry into any case of this kind that is brought to its notice. Complaints continue to be made respecting the payment and receipt of bonuses for obtaining the rental of dwellinghouses. The existing law provides sufficiently against such sums being received by owners, but as these bonuses are usually paid to other persons —for example, to the outgoing tenants — I would recommend that the receipt by any person of such amounts be made unlawful.

This Act does not in any way touch the question of the sales of dwellinghouses at an unreasonably increased price, and the scarcity of houses has caused a great many complaints of this kind to be made. This is a matter that might receive attention. The Department lias, under the Housing Act, made a, number of purchases of houses for applicant workers where it has not been possible to build for them immediately at a reasonable cost. Care has been taken in every case to see that the dwelling is one that is not likely to fall in value below the price paid. General. An increasing amount of work is being performed by officers of this Department for other Departments of the service, the Department's Inspectors being in many cases in a position to obtain the information desired. On behalf of the Census and Statistics Office the Department collects monthly from wholesale and retail dealers in the chief towns the prices of commodities for the purposes of the cost-of-living statistics, and in connection with the industrial census is responsible for the service and collection of returns from manufacturers. The investigation of profiteering complaints and inquiries in connection with the standardization of boots are dealt with on behalf of the Board of Trade ; applications to local authorities for permits under the regulations respecting the restriction of nonessential building are reported on by Inspectors of Scaffolding ; and on behalf of the Coal Control Committee investigations are made into complaints of coal-hoarding. Staff Notes. The additional appointments to the staff of the Department referred to in my report of last year have now been made, viz. : (1) Four women Inspectors of Factories ; (2) a Dominion Inspector of Accommodation for Shearers, Flaxmill and Sawmill Employees, and Agricultural Labourers ; and (3) a de partmental Librarian. All the officers who have served abroad with the Expeditionary Force have now returned to duty. Housing Branch. —On the passing of the Housing Act last session a, separate branch of the Department was established to deal solely with the administration of this Act. Additional appointments provided for in the Act viz., Architect, Housing Inspectors, besides clerks —have been made, and these officers have taken up their duties. A separate, report on housing is printed as H.-IU. Expenditure of the Department during the Yeah 1919-20.
