1922. NEW ZEALAND.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR (REPORT OF THE).

Presented, to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

RE POET. The Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Mtntrter of Labour. Sir, — . Department of Labour, Wellington, 15th May, 1922. I have, the honour to present herewith the thirty-first 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 Act, 1908, and the Factories Act, 1921-22. The report covers the financial year Ist April, 1921, to 31st March, 1922. In accordance with instructions, the report has again been made as brief as possible. I have, &c, F. W. Rowley, Secretary of Labour. The Hon. the Minister of Labour. Conditions of Trade and Employment. In common with other countries, the somewhat depressed condition of trade reported in my previous report has continued throughout the current year, and the number of unemployed as disclosed by the applications filed with the various employment bureaux of this Department has been in the neighbourhood of eleven hundred practically throughout the, year. The, Department's organization throughout the Dominion has again been utilized in receiving applications for work and in placing men in suitable positions where, available. The, special relief works set up by the Government in different districts have been continued, and, while many men have for various reasons refused this employment, it is believed that practically every case of real distress has been met by the offer of relief work, which is fixed at 12s. a day for married men and 10s. a day for single men. Total number of engagements at Department's employment bureaux, 4,989 (previous year, 3,364), with 4,719 dependants —private employment, 2,833; Government works, 2,156.

Factories Act.

It will, be noticed that, notwithstanding the, trade depression, both the number of factories and the number of workers employed have again slightly increased. There are now a greater number of factories and a greater number of factory workers than have ever previously been reported, the drop during the war years having been fully recovered. As explained last year, the large increase of 11 012 shown in. tlie 1920-21 returns was due to the " absorption " of our men from the war.

Accidents in Factories.

Every accident was inquired into in the usual way by an Inspector, and in only one ease, was it found that the, accident was due to negligence or to defect of machinery or appliances. In this case proceedings were taken by the Inspection of Machinery Department.

Certificates of Fitness issued to Boys and Girls under Sixteen Years of Age to work in Factories.

The fall in the number of girls for whom certificates of fitness were applied for is again marked) and is this year accompanied by a considerable drop in the number of certificates issued to boys. It may be inferred that, generally speaking, boys and girls are not being employed in factories to the same extent as in the past few years, when young persons were employed very largely in the. absence of adult male workers at the war. Other Matters. Prosecutions numbered twenty-one, a decrease of twenty-two as compared with last year's total. Convictions in nineteen cases ; the other two cases remain to be heard. During the year a consolidating Act, the Factories Act, 1921-22, was passed, incorporating the provisions of the Factories Act, 1908, and it amendments, together with a few minor additions. Shops and Offices Act. Prosecutions, 174, an increase of forty-five over last year's total. Convictions in 169 cases. None calls for comment. During the year an amending and consolidating Act was passed, bringing the Act up to date in all respects. Among the most important amendments are the following :— (1.) The hour beyond which females could not be employed in shops other than hotels or restaurants (except on Christmas and New Year's Eves) was extended from 9 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. ; boys under eighteen were included in the, restriction ; and the Act was made more clear in respect of those shops where the, business of a restaurant is combined with that of an ordinary shop such as a confectionery-shop. (2.) The hours of employment in hotels and restaurants arc reduced in all cases to forty-eight a week, Under the, former Act the maximum hours were sixty-two for men, fifty-six for women and boys in hotels, and fifty-two for women and boys in restaurants, although in many districts the hours had been reduced by awards and industrial agreements under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act to forty-eight in all cases. The previous provision that women and girls in restaurants could be employed under an overtime permit after the hour of 10.30 p.m. has been deleted. (3.) A provision is made to enable the proprietor of an auctioneering business to sell by auction fish, fruit, vegetables, meat, or other perishable goods on the, half-holiday with the permission of the Inspector. (4.) One, or more shops in a holiday resort in which the statutory closing-day is Saturday may, if the Inspector thinks fit in the interests of the public, be permitted to observe another day in lien thereof. (5.) The definition of "restaurant" for the purposes of this Act is extended to boardinghouses in which three or more persons other than the occupier's family are employed.

Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. 1920-21. 1921-22. Industrial agreements filed .. .. .. .. ..31 16* Recommendations of Councils of Conciliation . . . . .. 250 142 Awards of the Court of Arbitration .. .. .. .. 220 150 * Inclusive of 1.1 made bstween parties without referonce to a Conciliation Commissioner or Council. The awards and industrial agreements actually in force on the 31st March, 1922, totalled 548 (last year 563). The smaller number of awards, agreements, etc., made during the year is accounted for by the fact that on the worker's side there was little to expect in the way of increased wages, and on the employer's side the Court's stabilization scheme rendered it useless for employers to apply for a reduction. The reduction in the number of awards and industrial agreements now in force is explained by one award having taken the place of a number of agreements in several instances.

Work performed by Commissioners and Councils of Conciliation during the Year.

Out of a total of 147 disputes dealt with by the Commissioners and Conciliation Councils, 112 (equal to 762 per cent.) were settled or substantially settled by them without recourse to the Arbitration Court. It will be seen that the number of cases has declined from 258 last year to 147. This is due to the cause mentioned in connection with the number of awards. The proportion of disputes settled or substantially settled by the Commissioners has also declined considerably. Owing, no doubt, to the Court's stabilization scheme and to the fact that wages on the whole have tended to slightly decrease, one side or the other has preferred to a greater extent than in normal times to refer the matters in dispute to the Arbitration Court. Prosecutions. There were 184 prosecutions for breaches of the Act and of awards and industrial agreements, resulting in 162 convictions. Fourteen cases are still awaiting hearing. Registration of Industrial Unions and Associations. One association of workers' unions, twenty-one workers' unions, and one employers' union were registered. Four workers' unions, and one association of workers' unions were cancelled. Of the four cancellations of workers' unions, two were merely for the purpose of reorganization in some other form under the Act, while two were apparently cancelled for the purpose of terminating an award (the specified currency of which had expired), and thus bringing themselves under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act. It may be noted that in all only twenty unions have had disputes (numbering twenty-eight) dealt with under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act, while there are 548 awards and agreements in force, under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The usual statutory return (to the 31st December, 1921.) of the unions registered under the Act, with their membership at that date, is published herewith as an appendix. Comparison with the previous year shows that there has been an increase of one in the number of employers' unions, with a decrease in membership of forty-seven. The total number of workers' unions registered increased by seventeen, and the total membership by 1,369.

Decisions of Interest during the Year. Union and Society in same Industry. —An industrial union of chirks and office employees, registered under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, sought to obtain an award fixing conditions of employment with certain warehousemen. This application was opposed by the employers and by the Wholesale Warehouse Clerks Society, which was not registered under this Act. It was proved that the latter society had a membership of over 90 per cent, of the workers concerned; that no request had been made to it for a meeting to consider wages or conditions ; and that no complaints had been made. It was held by the Court that under the circumstances no bona fide dispute existed between the registered union and the employers. Preference and Annual Subscription- -In a memorandum to the Northern Industrial District Rope. and Twine Workers' award the Court stated that the, union desired to be granted the usual preference clause, with the condition that the maximum subscription of members should be an annual one (£1 10s.) in place of the usual weekly contribution (6d. or 9d.). It was explained by the union advocate that this annual subscription would admit workers to membership not only in the applicant union but also in any of the unions comprised in a certain association of unions. The Court thought, however, that as the association in question comprised a limited number of unions, and the members of the union then before the Court would in many cases seek employment in industries where the unions were not included in the association, the payment of so large a subscription as £1 10s. would be a hardship to a worker who left his employment after a few weeks or months and entered another employment which necessitated his paying an entrance foe and subscriptions to another union. The employers' advocate did not object seriously to the proposed clause, but the Court thought it better for the protection of the workers to adhere to the usual preference clause. Preference and Levies. —An action was brought by the Auckland Waterside; Foremen and Timekeepers' Industrial Union of Workers against a company for a breach of the preference clause of their award. The award granted preference to the union on the condition that its rules provided for an entrance, fee not exceeding ss. and contributions not exceeding 6d. a week. The rules provided accordingly for a contribution of 6d. a week, but in addition provision was made enabling the union to strike, levies not exceeding £2 a member per annum. It was held by the Magistrate that levies must be included in the term " contributions," and that the union was therefore not entitled to preference. This decision was subsequently upheld on appeal to the Court of Arbitration. Cost-of-living Bonus. —In May, 1921, in considering what cost-of-living bonus (if any) should be, given for the period commencing Ist May, 1921, the Court found that the sum of 3s. a week was required to meet the increase that had taken place in the cost of living during the half-year ending 31st March, 1921. To this had to be added 2s. withheld from, the previous bonus, as mentioned in paragraph 4of last annual report. After the fullest consideration, however, the Court was satislied that under the conditions of trade then existing it was no longer possible, for employers to pay increased wages, and that any increase would lead to marked unemployment. In view of the fact that the market had already commenced to fall, it was therefore, decided to set off the ss. then due against the anticipated reduction that would be shown by the half-yearly figures in September, thus stablizing wages for a period of twelve months until the 30th April, 1922. Proof of extraordinary circumstances would be required to induce the Court to depart from this principle in any particular case. Industrial Disturbances. There were eighty-three industrial disturbances during the year ; of these twenty-throe were merely stop-work meetings, while an additional forty-nine may be classed as unimportant or trivial. The following is a brief summary of the more important disturbances. It will be seen that in only a few cases were the strikes due to claims by the workers for increased wages. (1.) Coal-miners, Millerton. —Owing to a qualified miner not going to work as usual at the, Millerton Mines his partner was unable to commence, work, and the Millerton Miners' Union held that under the circumstances work should be found for the partner in another portion of the mine. The company did not agree, and a four-days stoppage of work took place. Finally a compromise, acceptable to both parties was arrived at. The workers, 390 in number, were bound by an industrial agreement under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. (2.) Timber-workers, Kumara. —Thirty-four workers, bound by an award under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, employed by the K. K. Sawmilling Co., Ltd., Kumara, discontinued their employment to compel the employer to grant a special contract price for hill-country bush. A new contract party took over the contract at the old price after a delay of three days. (3.) Loco-drivers, Stockton Coal Company. —Arising out of a claim for payment on wet days, thirteen loco-drivers employed by the Stockton Coal Company discontinued their employment. The company granted an increase of 2s. a day, and work was commenced after a stoppage of four days. The parties were working under the Miners' national agreement, which in practice had superseded a previous award under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. (4.) Slaughtermen and Abattoir Assistants, Westfield, Auckland. —Seventeen workers employed by the Auckland City Council at the abattoirs, Westfield, discontinued their employment for approximately two months on account of their objection to sawing through the rumps of beasts in lieu of chopping through. The matter in dispute was referred to the Conciliation Commissioner at Auckland, who decided that the carcases should be sawn. The workers were bound by an agreement under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act, 1913. (5.) Gas-workers, Petone. —Owing to an alteration of working-hours made by the Petone Borough Council, sixteen men employed at the Borough Gasworks discontinued their employment. The men's places were filled by other workers. The parties were not bound by any award or agreement.

(6.) Waterside Workers, Wellington. —Fifty-two men engaged in unloading coal from the schooner " Alice, A. Leigh " objected to the use of " skips " and discontinued their employment. The matter indispute was referred to the Disputes Committee provided for in the Waterside Workers' industrial agreement under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, under which the men were working, and it was finally agreed to use grabs until the " skin " of the hold was reached and then to use " skips." The men resumed work after an interval of five days. (7.) Coal-miners, Ohm, Nightcaps.- As a consequence of the, introduction of forks in place of shovels, fifty-six miners employed in the Linton Coal Company and Wairaki Coal Company's mines at Nightcaps discontinued their employment. Free labour was engaged to work the mines, and subsequently a number of the former employees were re-engaged. The disturbance occupied twentyeight days. The parties were not bound by any award or agreement. (8.) Waterside Workers, Auckland. —Eighty-four men engaged in unloading allegedly dusty coal from the s.s. " Kawatiri " at Auckland discontinued their employment to compel the employers to pay " dirt " money. The dispute, which involved a cessation of work for three days, was referred to the Dispute Committee provided for in the industrial agreement under the industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, under which the. men were working, and it was decided that the demands of the men should be conceded. (9.) Coal-miners. —As a protest against the terms contained in the recent awards of the Court of Arbitration covering the coal-mining industry, which made certain decreases in. wages in accordance with the fall in the cost of living, a large number of miners in Westiand, Otago, Southland, and Waikato discontinued their employment. Altogether about 1,547 workers were concerned, and the various stoppages of work ranged from periods of four to twenty-four- days. Work was then resumed at the new award rates. (10.) Coal-miners, Millerton. —Owing to a section of the Millerton Mine being idle it was found impossible to employ all the workers, and in consequence 420 men, who were bound by an award under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, discontinued their employment. The stoppage occupied eight days, the men returning to work on the employers' terms. (11.) Coal-m/iners, Blackball. —260 employees of the Blackball Colliery adopted the " go slow " policy for two shifts in an endeavour to show that certain clauses of the- award under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act under which they were working resulted in a restriction of output, and in addition to compel the employers to reinstate a dismissed worker. The workers' demands were not conceded, and work was resumed under the same conditions as before. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1921. By this amendment provision was made for the acting nominated member of the Court of Arbitration to sit whenever the nominated member might be absent, and for the appointment of a temporary member if at any time neither the nominated member nor the acting nominated member should be present. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1921-22. The following are the more important provisions contained in this amendment: — (I.) A maximum of five votes is prescribed for any one union in the election of a representative on the Court of Arbitration. (Hitherto each union was allowed one vote for every complete fifty members, without restriction as to the total number of votes.) (2.) The Court is given power to amend awards for any purpose with the consent of all the parties. (3.) Local authorities and Harbour Boards are, exempted from the payment of award rates in employing labour on relief works. (4.) Section 18 of the War Legislation and Statute Law Amendment Act, 1918, empowering the Arbitration Court to alter wages and hours in awards and industrial agreements according to the cost of living, is replaced by a provision giving the Court wide powers to make such amendments or alterations by means of a general order, having regard as before to a fair standard of living, and with a proviso that on application the Court may make a special order in any particular case.

Workers' Compensation Act. During the year the Court of Arbitration heard and determined sixty-seven cases under the Act. No case calls for comment. Sheaeebs' Accommodation Act, 1919. During the year ninety-nine visits of inspection were made to shearing-sheds, and it was found necessary to serve sixty-three notices on employers to effect improvement in the accommodation. Since the appointment of the Dominion Inspector of Shearers' Accommodation a very complete inspection has been made of the accommodation provided throughout the Dominion, and. with the exception of the sixty-three cases mentioned, the accommodation is now of a satisfactory nature in practically all cases. The need for careful inspection is therefore not so pressing. Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act, 1908, and its Amendments (including Accommodation for Flax and Sawmill Workers). Sawmilling and Flax-milling. —Sixty-four visits of inspection were made and twenty-nine notices to effect improvements were served on various employers. Farm Labourers. One hundred and twenty-nine visits of inspection were made and two notices were served requiring alterations. Scaffolding Inspection Act. The following shows the number of notices of intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height received from 1914 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; 1920-21,955; 1921-22,946. These figures in themselves give some indication of the fluctuation in the amount of building done during the past nine years. 2,750 visits of inspection were made, and there were nine prosecutions. There were 106 accidents in connection with scaffolding during the year, three of which were fatal. One case in Auckland, where a beam on which scaffolding had been erected gave way, resulted in four men being precipitated some 75 ft. to the ground with fatal results. The accident was due to a fault in the beam which was not noticed by the men themselves or by the Inspector of Scaffolding. The beam was also placed on the flat instead of on edge, and as a result was not able to bear the weight placed on it. The Inspector concerned has since left the service of the Department. In the other two fatal cases the accidents were not due to faults in the scaffolding. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are ninety-four offices registered in New Zealand, an increase of five since last report. In no case has it been found necessary to institute a prosecution for a breach of the Act. Footwear Regulation Act. There have been 606 inspections made throughout the Dominion under this Act, but in no case has it been found necessary to take action for a breach. The Act appears to be now well understood by manufacturers both in New Zealand and abroad, and the necessary branding is carried out in all cases where leather is not used. Weights and Measures. In January of this year effect was given to Cabinet's decision that the inspection of weights and measures should, for purposes of economy, bo undertaken by this Department, whose Inspectors can attend, to such work while making inspections of factories, shops, &c, under the Factories, Shops and Offices, and other Acts. A new Act is now in course of preparation to facilitate inspection and administration.

War Legislation Amendment Act (Rent-restriction). Year ended 31st March, 1922.

These figures show a slight reduction from those of last year. Last year's amendment to the Act making it easier for an owner to obtain possession of a dwellinghouse for his own occupation has, to a certain extent, had the effect of throwing open more houses to let, though the fact that the economic position renders it now more difficult to sell is also a factor.

It should be noted that in any event the Act applies, both as to the maximum or standard rent and as to the right of possession, only to those houses (whose standard rental does not exceed £2 a week) that were first let before the 10th November, 1920. There is no restriction of any kind regarding houses first let after that date. Amending Legislation. The Housing Amendment Act, 1921-22, continued the Rent Restriction provisions of the War Legislation Amendment Act, 1916, until the 31st December, 1922, with the following additions and alterations :— (1.) The provision enabling the Court in an application for ejectment to take into account the relative hardship of the tenant and the landlord has been repealed, and an owner or purchaser is now entitled to possession if for his own occupation. (2.) It has also been provided that a landlord who obtains an order for possession on the ground that he requires the property for his own use shall not let the dwellinghouse or permit any person other than a member of his family to occupy it or sell or enter into an agreement to sell the dwellinghouse for a period of six months after he obtains possession, without the permission of a Magistrate. (3.) A penalty of £100 is provided for the offence of stipulating, demanding, or accepting as a condition of the tenancy of a dwellinghouse payment for furniture, &c, in excess of its value. Lead Poisoning in the Painting Industry during the Past Few Years. This subject has been carefully investigated by the officers of both the Labour and Health Departments, but owing to the lack of definite evidence so far as to the cause and prevalence of the disease it has been considered advisable to make chronic lead poisoning a notifiable disease under the Health Act. The result has borne out the opinion of the Departments that this disease is not common in New Zealand, owing mainly to the fact that paint is not largely used on the interior of buildings. It is recognized, however, that the use of white-lead may increase to such an extent as to warrant some precautionary measures being taken for the protection of the workers engaged in the painting industry, and a considerable amount of valuable information lias therefore been collected from other countries. Official tests are now being carried out to ascertain whether efficient substitutes for white-lead in paint are available which will be equally durable and reasonable in cost. Legislation in other Countries. During 1921 the Third International Labour Conference sat in Geneva, the session lasting from the 25th October to the 18th November, 1921. This meeting of the Conference might be regarded as the second rather than the third session of the General Conference, since the session at Genoa was a special one called to deliberate on the regulation of labour at sea. The Geneva session was, like the first session (held at Washington in 1919), occupied with general questions, although agricultural matters bulked largely on the agenda. Commissions were set up to investigate and report on the following subjects— viz., conditions of workers in agriculture (prevention of unemployment, protection against sickness, invalidity, and old age, and questions affecting women and children in agricultural employments) ; maritime questions (concerning the employment of young people on board ship) ; anthrax and the necessity of instituting a system of disinfection under an International Anthrax Commission ; weekly rest, and the eight-hours day and forty-eight-hours week; white-lead and the prohibition of its use in painting. A great amount of controversy ranged around the questions of the weekly rest day (which is the complement of the eight-hours day and forty-eight-hours week) and the prohibition of the use of white-lead, and the conventions resolved upon by the Conference were more or less the result of compromises effected between the parties. The delegates of the nations of chief industrial importance showed reluctance to bind their countries to introduce a weekly rest day or to prohibit the use of white-lead in painting. Neither of these conventions affects the position in New Zealand, as this country already has, generally speaking, an eight-hours day, and cases of white-lead poisoning are exceedingly rare. Apprenticeship. The matter of preventing boys from engaging in " blind-alley" occupations continued to attract attention in a number of countries throughout the year, and schemes of varying kinds were suggested to enable employers to overcome the growing world shortage of skilled men. In the United States, Canada, France, and Australia (particularly in New South Wales), the question received much attention. In the first-named three countries the employers have evolved plans providing for higher rates of pay, vocational training, and fixing commencing-ages for apprentices, sometimes with the co-operation of the unions concerned, and in the last-named State apprenticeship is being investigated by the Board of Trade, which recently issued a comprehensive report of its determinations and directions for overcoming the difficulties encountered in the training of youths in trades. Remarks upon this matter were made, in the annual reports of this Department for the years 1919 (pages 2 and 3), 1920 (page 2), 1921 (pages 7 and 8). Workmen's Compensation. In practically all countries where there is a workmen's compensation law the amount payable was increased to correspond with the rise in the cost of living. These increases were made in New Zealand by the Workers' Compensation Amendment Act, 1920. Vocational rehabilitation

H.—ll

is beginning to be studied seriously in several countries, and a vocational Rehabilitation Act was passed late in 1920 in the United States, providing money to be appropriated for the purpose of rendering pecuniary assistance to encourage any State to set up systems of vocational rehabilitation. California and New York have already set up Bureaux of Vocational Rehabilitation. Arbitration and Conciliation. The past year has not witnessed any radical changes in other countries in the methods employed in dealing with industrial disputes. In Australia there has been a small amount of friction between the Commonwealth. Court of Arbitration and the Courts or Wages Boards in each State, which appears to be due to the fact that claimants endeavour to have their claims taken by the Court which appears most likely from the general tenor of its awards to meet their demands. In the United States attempts have been made, in Rhode Island and New York, to introduce, private members' Bills designed to set up Courts similar to the Court of Industrial Relations in Kansas, which has wide powers to prevent strikes in essential industries, and in the event of a strike can take over and manage any industry for the benefit of the public. In Germany it is proposed to introduce Labour Courts, which will be substituted for the special Courts (Industrial Courts, Commercial Courts, Mining Courts, &c), which at present exist, in order to provide a quick method for the settlement of cases by experts on the particular questions involved. These Labour Courts will possess many of the features common to the Arbitration Courts of Australia and New Zealand, particularly in respect of the fact that they will be competent to deal with all phases of industry and all civil disputes arising out of the relations between workers and employers. The Court will have additional, features in that it will be empowered to hear appeals of workers against dismissal, the calculation of pensions according to earnings, and the valuation of payments in kind in the case of agricultural workers. In Great Britain the Trade Boards (which deal with all questions of wages and, hours in certain unorganized low paid industries), the Industrial Court (which, is a permanent Court of Arbitration to which parties to a dispute can have recourse if they consent), and the Whitley Councils (consisting of committees of representatives of employers and workers for the settlement of disputes in particular industries), have continued to operate without any change in their constitution or method throughout the year. Staff Notes. Consequent on the reduction of work in connection with housing and the urgent necessity for reducing expenditure generally, the staff of the Department was reduced during the year by fortyfour—from 147 to 103. Four Inspectors of Weights and Measures were transferred to the Department from the Department of Interna] Affairs, making the staff of the Department 107.
