DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR (REPORT OF THE).

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

EE POET. The Acting-Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister of Labour. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, sth July, 1934. I have the honour to present herewith the forty-third 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, 1933, to 31st March, 1934. Owing to the continued need for economy the report has again been made as brief as possible. I have, &c., Henry E. Moston, Acting-Secretary of Labour. The Hon. the Minister of Labour.

UNEMPLOYMENT. The activities of this Department, so far as unemployment is concerned, are mainly restricted to the registration of unemployed men and the placing of such men in employment, and the unemployment figures given below are therefore confined to " registrations " and " placements." Details as to the total number of men employed under the various schemes of the Unemployment Board or being assisted from the Unemployment Fund and other information on the question of unemployment may be obtained from the annual report of the Commissioner of Unemployment. On the Ist April, 1933, there were 51,529 applicants registered at the Department's employment offices throughout the Dominion. With slight fluctuations, the number gradually increased to 57,352 on the 22nd July, 1933, thereafter decreasing steadily until the 24th March, 1934, when it stood at 44,408. The number on the Department's registers on the 31st March, 1934, was 44,441. This number is 7,088 less than the number on the registers at the close of the previous year. (Note. — Since the Ist April the number of registered unemployed has continued to increase, the maximum figure up to the present being 48,393 on the 30th June, 1934—-i.e., 8,959 less than the peak figure for last year.) During the year 24,343 men were placed in employment, 2,698 on Government works (being mainly relief works under arrangement with the Unemployment Board), and the balance in private employment, inclusive of those placed under the Unemployment Board's schemes (but apart from those employed on the Unemployment Board's No. 5 Scheme). In addition, 375 were assisted by advances of railway fares or otherwise. (Figures for the previous year were 2,041, Government works ; 27,901, otherwise : total, 29,942.) Of the 44,441 men on the Department's registers at the 31st March, 39,993 were employed under No. 5 Scheme, which provides temporary employment according to each man's circumstances. This figure varies slightly from week to week, the maximum number securing relief during the year being 52,384 on the 2nd September, 1933, when the total number of unemployed on the register was 56,901. The men employed under No. 5 Scheme are not regarded as " placements," and are not therefore included in the figure 24,343 (supra).

FACTORIES ACT.

The figures as to the number of factories and workers employed therein do not purport to coincide with those of the Government Statistician (annual statistics of factory production), as his returns, which are drawn up purely for statistical purposes, do not cover various small establishments that are included as factories under the Factories Act. It might be explained that the above figures are those ascertained at registration-time (April in each year), except that in order to include factories in seasonal industries which might be closed in April any new establishments opened during the year are added. The figures shown for 1933-34, therefore, chiefly represent the numbers in April, 1933. There has been a substantial decrease in the number of factories registered due to the closing-down of small businesses, while the decrease in the number of factory workers is negligible. A decided improvement is noticeable in a number of industries viz., clothing and white working, bootmanufacturing, and sawmilling and other trades connected with the building industry. The improvement in boot-manufacturing has been contributed to to some extent by the action of the Unemployment Board in supplying locally made boots to the unemployed, while the operation of the Board's No. 10 Scheme has undoubtedly been responsible for the revival (even if merely temporary) of the sawmilling and other trades connected with the building industry. The raising of the rate of exchange which was originally done for the purpose of benefiting the Dominion's primary producers has also been of considerable advantage to New Zealand manufacturers in that it has increased the landed cost of imported goods, thereby enabling the locally manufactured goods to secure a larger share of the market. This result has been particularly noticeable in the case of the clothing, white working, and other similar industries, where it was found necessary to work a considerable amount of overtime, and it is anticipated from the registrations that have so far been effected for the present year that the beneficial results observable during last year will be more than maintained during the coming year so far as factory employment is concerned. The establishment of the following new industries during the past year may also be regarded as an indication of the improved tone of manufacturing in the Dominion : — Rubberware-manufacturing. Flax woolpack and textile manufacturing. Vacuum packing of primary produce. Eel-canning. Manufacture of wooden matches. Manufacture of dry-cell batteries. Refining of crude oil into various grades of lubricating-oil, and the preparation of ethyl petrol. Accidents. In order that the accident statistics may be comparable with the statistics of other countries, as urged by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians in 1923, the figures cover the calendar year instead of the financial year. The total number of reported accidents to workers in factories is 2,747 (2,615 males and 132 females). Of the total number, 37 of the accidents occurred to workers under sixteen years of age, 550 to those between sixteen and twenty, and the remaining 2,160 to those above that age. Of the 6 fatal accidents 3 were caused by or were due to machinery. Of the total accidents, 357 were caused by or were due to machinery. The other principal causes of accidents were found to be as follows : Falls of persons (from stairs," ladders, platforms, &c.), 252 ; stepping on or striking against fixed objects, 108 ; faulty handling of tools, 896 ; handling of other objects—viz., objects dropped or tipped over, objects falling, or strain due to handling, 778 ; handling of poisonous, hot, and corrosive substances, 92 ; others (miscellaneous), 264 : total 2,747. Disability caused: Temporary disability, 2,655 ; permanent partial disability, 86. Fatalities, 6. The cases in respect of which time lost is available —viz., 2,601 —show that a total of 48,829 days were lost, or an average of 18-8 days for each worker. In cases where the amount of compensation paid is known —viz., in 2,685 out of the total of 2,747 —the total amount paid is £32,596 2s. lid. The following particulars are given of the fatal accidents that occurred during the year : — The manager of a sawmill died in hospital as the result of an accident which occurred while he was attending to one of the drive belts in the mill. No one witnessed the accident, but apparently the deceased in endeavouring to wipe some oil off the belt with a piece of cotton waste was caught up and thrown to the ground some distance away.

A worker in a sawmill received fatal injuries when a stack of timber of the rack type fell upon him. The collapse of the stack was considered to be due principally to the timber forming the support frame having rotted at the base. n . l A worker in a sawmill was assisting in rolling a log down from the skids to the sawbench and was walking ahead of it towards the bench when the handle of a jack caught in his trousers and tripped him up. The log rolled on to his body inflicting fatal injuries. While a worker in a sawmill employed at the head of the breaking-down bench was moving the bench forward to cut a log which was overhanging the bench he was caught between one of the roof supports and the overhanging portion of the log and crushed to death. A worker engaged on a machine for stamping out heel-protectors had a finger of his right hand crushed between the plunger and the shaper. Tetanus supervened.. A worker engaged on machinery repairs was assisting to hoist a coil. The derrick used for the purpose collapsed, striking the worker, with fatal results. The following fatal accidents to persons other than " workers " within the meaning of that term as defined by the Workers' Compensation Act were reported The manager of a sawmill was engaged in supervising the lowering of a log down a chute into the mill when the log jammed in the chute. An endeavour was made to draw the log down by means of a winch, but immediately the winch was started the log came off the chute and struck the manager a fatal blow in the abdomen. . The owner of a small mill who was engaged on his own property cutting timber with a circular saw had just finished cutting a length of timber when the piece which he had left on the bench came in contact with the saw and, flying up, struck him on the head with fatal results. The manager of a dairy factory was standing on a platform emptying bags of sugar into a vat of boiling water when the platform collapsed, precipitating him into the boiling water. Inspections, etc. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 3,815 were made, in the course of which wages-books were examined to see that the provisions of the Unemployment Act, 1930, and its amendments, had been complied with in respect of the deduction of the emergency unemployment charge. Prosecutions numbered 27, in 22 of which convictions were obtained ; the fines totalled £26. No case calls for comment. Complaints were received respecting 231 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 19 prosecutions and 132 warnings. In 63 cases investigation showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Eight prosecutions were instituted for breaches which were discovered by Inspectors, and warnings were given in other cases, being either first offences or of a minor nature. , ; There were 278 requisitions served to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for limewashing ; safeguards for workers employed on machinery, &c. ; sanitary conveniences ; fireescapes ; renovations and structural alterations ; heating-appliances ; ventilation; first-aid appliances ; and dining-rooms in the case of establishments employing over six women and girls and boys under sixteen.

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

SHOPS AND OFFICES ACT. The records stow 25,744 shops throughout New Zealand, of which 13,519 (approximately onehalf) were carried on without assistants. In the shops with assistants there were employed 18,878 males and 16,663 females. . During the year visits of inspection to the number of 5,922 were made, m the course of winch wages-books were examined to see that the provisions of the Unemployment Act, 1930, and its amendments had been complied with in respect of the deduction of the emergency unemployment charge Prosecutions numbered 109, in which 102 convictions were obtained ; fines, £97 15s. Complaints were received respecting 839 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 66 prosecutions and 493 warnings. In 249 cases investigation showed that no breach had been committed, while m the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Forty-three prosecutions were instituted for breaches which were discovered by Inspectors, and warnings were given in other cases, being either first offences or of a minor nature. Twenty-seven requisitions were served on occupiers of shops to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for sanitary conveniences, heating-appliances, seating-accommodation, and partitions.

Section 7 (5) of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1932, provides that where no settlement is arrived at in the case of a dispute in an industry or industries where female workers are employed the Court of Arbitration may, on application, make an order fixing the minimum rates of wages that may be paid to the female workers in the industry or industries concerned, such order to operate and be enforceable as an award, and to continue in force for a period of not less than six or more than twelve months, as may be specified therein. Up to 31st March, 1934, only two such orders have been made, one covering private-hotel employees throughout the Dominion (expired) and the other covering shop-assistants in certain trades in the Otago and Southland Industrial District, not covered by the existing Shop-assistants' award. Legal Decisions of Interest. Refusal to declare Industrial Agreement to he an Award. Where there was an award in force covering the whole industrial district and an industrial agreement was entered into under section 28 of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1925 (for the prevention and not the settlement of an industrial dispute), between the union of workers and certain employers parties to the award, and such employers employed a majority of the workers in the industry in the industrial district, an application to declare such industrial agreement to be an award was refused on the following grounds : (1) That there was an award in existence binding on certain employers not parties to the industrial agreement; (2) that neither the industrial agreement nor an order of the Court declaring it to be an award could supersede the existing award in toto ; (3) that in any event the employers bound by the existing award could not be made parties to another award in pari materia while the existing award remained in force. The present award must be cancelled or otherwise disposed of in the manner prescribed by the Act before such an application could be considered. Terms of Settlement of Industrial Dispute filed as Industrial Agreement declared void. Certain master butchers made application for the hearing by a Conciliation Council of an industrial dispute, the workers' union and a number of other master butchers being cited as respondents. The applicant employers recommended four assessors and the workers' union recommended a similar number. The respondent employers also recommended assessors, but the Commissioner, acting on the advice of the Court of Arbitration, disregarded the recommendation of the respondent employers and appointed the assessors recommended by the applicant employers and the respondent workers' union. The Council so constituted proceeded to inquire into the dispute, and, despite the objections of the respondent employers, purported to arrive at a-settlement of the dispute. The terms of settlement were set forth in writing, signed by all the assessors, the document being regarded as an industrial agreement binding on all the parties to the dispute, including the respondent dissentient employers. Action for a breach of this agreement was taken against one of the dissentient employers in the Court of Arbitration, which stated a case for the opinion of the Court of Appeal. Held by the Court of Appeal, That the objecting employers were entitled to recommend assessors, and such recommendation should have been considered by the Commissioner when appointing assessors to represent the respondents ; that what is required by section 5 (1) of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1932, is a settlement arrived at by agreement of the parties to the dispute who are present or represented at the inquiry, and terms of settlement, though they require to be signed by all the assessors, are, nevertheless, effective only if such parties to the dispute have agreed upon or consented to such terms. If any of the parties refuse to agree, there can be no settlement, and the only provision to meet such a case is contained in section 7 (1) of the Amendment Act. Semble, That the power to fix the closing-hours of shops conferred on the Court of Arbitration by section 17 of the Shops and Offices Amendment Act, 1927, cannot be exercised by a Council of Conciliation, and that any provision in the terms of settlement purporting to fix closing-hours would void the agreement. Registration op Industrial Associations and Unions. The usual statutory return (to the 31st December, 1933) of the associations and unions registered under the Act, with their membership at that date, is published herewith as an appendix. Comparison with the previous year shows that the total number of workers' unions has increased by 7 (to 407), and the total membership has decreased by 7,395 (from 79,283 to 71,888). Inspections, etc. During the year 1,690 complaints of alleged breaches of the Act and of awards and industrial agreements, &c., were received, but it was found on investigation that in 522 cases no breach had been committed. In 132 cases proceedings were taken, and in 953 warnings were given. No action was considered necessary in the remaining cases. Apart from the complaints mentioned above, a large proportion of the inspections of factories, shops, &c., included an inspection to ascertain whether the awards and agreements were being complied with in respect of wages, overtime, &c., and, as a result of these inspections, 14 prosecutions were taken and warnings were given in other cases. Of the 146 prosecutions, 131 were against employers and 15 against workers ; 125 convictions were recorded, 110 against employers and 15 against workers. Total penalties, £196 15s.

Industrial Disturbances during the Year. There were in all sixteen industrial disturbances during the year. The following is a summary of the more serious stoppages — Seamen and Firemen.—The seamen and firemen on a number of intercolonial and coastal vessels ceased work, refusing to accept a proposal by the owners for a further reduction of 5 per cent, in the rates of pay in addition to the 10-per-cent. reduction already in operation. The cooks and stewards, although not affected by the proposed reduction, ceased work in sympathy. Some delay in shipping was occasioned, but the more important services were maintained. After about ten days, a conference between the parties agreed upon a 2|-per-cent. reduction, and work was resumed. Waterside Workers. —The waterside workers in several ports refused to work overtime on a number of ships unless the shore gangs were paid for the same hours as the gangs employed on the hatches. In one case the Department proceeded against the fifty-eight men concerned for a breach of section 9 of the Labour Disputes Investigation Act, 1913, and obtained judgment against each of the defendants. The men have appealed against the convictions, but the cases have not yet been heard by the Court of Arbitration. LABOUR DISPUTES INVESTIGATION ACT, 1913. During the year thirteen agreements were filed pursuant to section 8 (1), the agreement in each case being reached without recourse to a conference under the Act or to a Labour Dispute Committee. These agreements were as follows : — Tramway, omnibus, and power-house employees, Christchurch. Tramway employees, Auckland. Tramway and omnibus employees (traffic section), Christchurch. Glassworkers, Auckland. Coal-miners, Waikato. Dairy factory managers, Wellington Industrial District. Tramway workshops employees, Christchurch. Tramway, omnibus, and power-house employees, Christchurch. Chain grocery store employees, Canterbury. Dairy-produce and cold storage workers, Wellington. Hardware-merchants employees, Wellington. Tramway, omnibus, and power-house employees, Christchurch. Clerical and showroom employees (Gas Co.'s) Auckland. Arising out of the disputes filed under the Act since its inception to date, only six ballots have been necessary, and in none of these cases did a strike take place in pursuance of such a ballot. There were on the 31st March, 1934, twelve agreements in force under this Act in the following industries :— Tramway and omnibus services (including power-house employees). Grocery trade employees in chain-stores. Managers in dairy factories. Storage workers in dairy-produce and cold stores. Hardware-merchants' assistants (wholesale). Glassworkers. Coal-miners. Clerical and showroom employees (Gas Co.). APPRENTICES ACT. This Act, which was passed in 1923, places the regulation of apprenticeships in the control of the Court of Arbitration. It also provides for the establishment of Committees representative of employers and workers ; these have such powers as may be delegated to them by the Court. The Committees, of which there are 66 functioning, are chiefly to be found in the main towns, and there is usually one for each industry. At the end of the previous year there were 105 Committees functioning, the reduction following upon the cancellation of awards and industrial agreements in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, it having been held by the Court that on cancellation of an award or industrial agreement the Apprentices Act ceased to apply to the industry and locality concerned. The Department has again made available to Committees the services of some of its experienced officers, who undertake inquiry work and in many cases act in a secretarial capacity. These officers made 106 inspections under this Act during 1933-34, the inspections being carried out chiefly in the course of ordinary inspection and investigation work and while visiting factories, &c., in connection with other duties. Complaints were received regarding 130 alleged breaches of the Act, while 12 other breaches were discovered by the Department's Inspectors, 95 warnings being issued. There were 7 prosecutions during the year for various breaches of the Act and the orders made thereunder, convictions being entered in 6 of the cases, and penalties amounting to £5 ss, 6d. being imposed. Of the prosecutions, 2 were against employers and 5 against apprentices. The following table gives the approximate number of apprentices in the trades to which the Act applies. This information is based mainly on contracts of apprenticeship as registered with the Department.

The provisions of section 56 of the Finance Act, 1932, which give Magistrates power, on application by any party concerned, to amend, suspend, or cancel any contract of apprenticeship in force at the date of the passing of the Act, are still being invoked to a considerable extent, owing to the difficulty experienced by employers in finding employment for their apprentices. Before a Magistrate, however, can cancel a contract under this section he is required to be satisfied that, owing to the economic conditions affecting the industry concerned or the particular business of the employer, the employer cannot reasonably be expected to continue to carry out the terms of the contract, but in the event of his ordering cancellation of the contract he may, if he thinks fit, award compensation to the apprentice. The following table shows the number of applications dealt with under this legislation during the year ended the 31st March, 1934 : —

Arrears op Wages. Amounts totalling £2,940 9s. were collected by the Department's officers on behalf of workers who had been underpaid the wages prescribed by awards and the various Acts, while further amounts of such arrears, totalling £2,794 os. Id., were paid by employers, at the instance of the Inspectors, directly to the workers concerned: total, £5,734 9s. Id. Workers' Compensation Act. The following cases have been heard and determined by the Court of Arbitration during the last seven years: 1926,60; 1927,99; 1928,99; 1929,101; 1930,123 ; 1931, 175 ; 1932,133; 1933,138. The more important decisions, with a digest thereof, are published in " New Zealand Workers' Compensation Cases," which is issued annually by the Department. During 1933 a decision of considerable importance to employers and workers was given by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on an appeal from judgments of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand in proceedings brought to determine the liability of employers in respect of the deaths of or injuries to their workmen which occurred on the occasion of the Hawke's Bay earthquake of the 3rd February, 1931. In regard to the cases brought before the Privy Council it had been agreed before the Court of Appeal that the deaths and injuries were caused by " accident " and were in the course of employment, the only question for determination being whether the accidents arose. " out of the employment. It was contended on behalf of the employers that the risk of injury due to earthquake is a " community risk " and that a worker cannot say that an injury caused by such a happening arises out of his employment unless he can show that the nature of his employment exposed him more than other members of the public to the danger in question. The Judicial Committee, however, held that if a workman is injured by some natural force such as lightning, the heat of the sun, or extreme cold, which in itself has no kind of connection with employment, he cannot recover unless he can sufficiently associate such injury with his employment. This he can do if he can show that the employment exposed him in a special degree to suffering such an injury. But if he is injured by contact physically with some part of the place where he works, then, apart from questions of his own misconduct, he at once associates the accident, with his employment, and nothing further need be considered. So that if the roof or walls fall upon him, or he slips upon the premises, there is no need to make further inquiry as to why the accident happened. This decision caused employers and insurers considerable perturbation in view of the possibility of disastrous earthquakes occurring during working-hours in the more thickly populated areas, and as a result of a compromise provision was made in section 56 of the Finance Act, 1933 (No. 2), restricting the maximum aggregate liability of insurers in cases where compensation is payable under the Workers Compensation Act by any indemnified employers for personal injury by accident to any workers arising out of and in the course of their employment, if such injury has been caused by accident due directly or indirectly to earthquake. The maximum liability referred to is not to exceed £50,000 in respect of injuries resulting from a single earthquake or from any of a series of earthquakes occurring within any period of seven full days. Where the total liability of the insurers would in any case, except for the legislation, exceed £50,000 the aggregate liability of the several insurers is to be apportioned according to their premium incomes, and where the aggregate liability of the insurers is less than the total liability insured against by the employers, the amount of compensation payable is to bear the same proportion to the full amount of compensation as £50,000 bears to the aggregate amount of all valid claims made in respect of compensation for accidents due to the earthquake or series of earthquakes. SHEARERS' ACCOMMODATION ACT. All necessary inspections under this Act were previously carried out by the Inspectors of the Agriculture Department, but for economic reasons no inspections have been made during the year. SCAFFOLDING AND EXCAVATION ACT. During the year 3,360 notices of intention to erect buildings and scaffoldings and to commence excavations were received, and 9,007 inspections were made. There were no prosecutions. _ The number of accidents to workers during the year ending 31st December, 1933, is 44 (of which 1 was fatal). Of the 44 accidents, 37 were of a minor nature. It should be mentioned that the total includes not only accidents to workers on scaffolding or in connection with gear or excavations, but also all other accidents occurring in connection with building operations. Taking into consideration the hazardous nature of the work and the number of workers involved, the number of accidents due to falls from scaffolds, ladders, or roofs is small—viz., 14. The numbers according to occupations are : Labourers, 11 ; carpenters, 19 ; painters, 4 ; bricklayers, 1 ; unclassified, 9. The cases in respect of which information as to the time lost and compensation paid is available— viz., 35 and 41 respectively out of the 44 accidents—show that a total of 840 days were lost and compensation to the amount of £1,219 ss. 7d. was paid. The following are particulars of the fatal accident reported : A painter was engaged in painting a wall near a power-driven hoist, when the jersey which he was wearing caught on a revolving shaft. The following fatal accident to a person other than a worker was also reported : A master painter who was working on a Humphrey bracket scaffold was fatally injured when, owing to a faultily bored hole, the eyebolt at one end drew out and he fell to the ground.

SERVANTS' REGISTRY OFFICES ACT. There are sixty-eight offices registered in New Zealand, all of which appear to be satisfactorily conducted (last year sixty-four). RENT RESTRICTION. There were 176 applications from tenants for inquiry (previous year, 278). The following table shows the results of the investigations (the figures in parentheses are those for the previous year) : —

As mentioned in previous reports, tie Kent Restriction Continuance Act, 1927, provided that from the Ist May, 1928 (1) the standard rent shall be determined on the basis of 7 per cent, on the capital value of the dwellinghouse as at the date of such determination (instead of on the 1914 value) exclusive of rates, insurance, repairs, and depreciation (as before) ; (2) the Act shall cease to operate except where, on the application of the tenant, a Magistrate otherwise orders ; in deciding the question the Magistrate shall have regard to the greater hardship that may be caused to either party concerned. Subject to the following paragraph, the provisions do not apply to houses first let after the 9th November, 1920. By the Rent Restriction Extension Act, 1931 (passed 31st July, 1931), the provisions were extended to cover dwellinghouses in the Hawke's Bay earthquake area let on the 3rd February, 1931 (the date of the earthquake), or since 1 that date at a rental not exceeding £104 per annum. The provisions were further continued by the Rent Restriction Act, 1933, until 31st October, 1934, when they will expire unless further extended. FOOTWEAR REGULATION ACT. There were 2,006 inspections made throughout the Dominion under this Act, and stocks of footwear were carefully examined. As most, if not all, of the footwear required to be branded under the Act is imported, the arrangement made with the. Customs Department whereby all imported footwear is examined in the Customs shed before release is still being continued. The services of the Department's footwear Inspectors have also been utilized in examining the boots supplied by the Unemployment Board to relief workers employed under the various unemployment schemes, with a view to ensuring that the manufacturers were complying with the Board's specifications. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT. The regulations under the Act provide for the reverification of weights, measures, and weighing and measuring instruments in use for trade purposes. The articles verified or reverified during the year are summarized hereunder : — Submitted. Incorrect. Weights .. .. 34,221 3,820 Measures .. .. .. .. .. 3,058 66 Weighing-instruments.. .. .. .. .. 22,682 2,473 Measuring-instruments .. .. .. .. 7,027 1,336 66,988 7,695 There were also submitted for verification 269,204 bottles—milk, cream, or oil —128 being incorrect. In addition to the reverification work referred to, the Department has carried out surprise tests of appliances on the owners' premises, 7,746 visits being made to business premises in this connection. The net-weight and standard-weight provisions of the regulations also received attention, 553 visits of inspection being made. There were 18 prosecutions for various breaches under this Act, convictions being obtained in 17 cases, and fines amounting to £14 10s. being imposed. The other case was withdrawn. Verification fees earned totalled £8,715 Bs. Id. (previous year, £8,676 17s. 3d.) ; increase, £38 10s. lOd.

During the period the following eleven new designs of weighing and measuring instruments were submitted under clause 4, Part 11, of the regulations for approval for use for trade in the Dominion, viz. :— Weighing — Self-indicating (counter and platform) scales .. .. .. . . 4 Automatic weighing-instruments .. . . .. .. 1 Measuring— Petrol-pumps and equipment . . . . . . . . . . 5 Flow-meters (petrol) . . . . . • . . • • 1 11 Of these, 8 have been approved (after alterations to 3 patterns) and 3 are still under consideration. Inspections were again made during the year to ensure that the provisions of the Sale of Pood and Drugs Act relating to the weight of bread and the provisions of the Weights and Measures Regulations relating to the sale of coal, coke, and firewood were being complied with, resulting in 11 prosecutions (1 in respect of short-weight bread and 10 for breaches in connection with the sale of coal, coke, and firewood). These prosecutions are included in the figures given in the second paragraph above. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES AMENDMENT ACT, 1933. This legislation was promoted primarily to give effect to certain resolutions regarding standards and standardization adopted by the Imperial Conference held in London in 1930, but the opportunity was also taken of amending section 19 of the principal Act. The following is a summary of the provisions of the Amendment Act: — Section 2 : This section substitutes for the various standard weights and measures mentioned in the Second Schedule to the Act of 1925 two standards only, viz. : (1) standard pound, and (2) standard yard, which are to be copies of the corresponding Imperial standards, verified by comparison with such standards or with the parliamentary copies thereof. The substitution is to become effective on a date to be fixed by the Minister in the Gazette. Subsections (3) and (4) provide for the replacement of the standards in the event of their loss, destruction, or injury, and for periodical comparison of the standards with the corresponding Imperial standards or parliamentary copies thereof at intervals not exceeding ten years. Section 3 : The present standard weights and measures referred to in the Second Schedule to the principal Act are to become secondary standards which are to be compared with the standard weight and standard measure at intervals not exceeding five years. Provision is made for such additional secondary standards as may be required and for renewing any secondary standard. The Minister is given custody of the standard weight and standard measure and of the secondary standards. Section 4 provides (a) for departmental standards (which are the same as the present departmental standards), (b) for their deposit in the office of the Chief Inspector, (c) for their renewal, and (d) for their comparison with the secondary standards instead of with the primary standards as at present. Section 5 provides for the consequential repeal of sections 6 and 10 of the principal Act. Section 6 : As the table of metric equivalents set out in the Third Schedule to the principal Act is not in exact conformity with the latest tables of metric equivalents prescribed in England, the Governor-General is empowered to revise it from time to time by Order in Council in order that uniformity may be maintained. Section 7 "which substitutes a new subsection (1) of section 19 relating to goods in packages that are incorrectly labelled as to the net weight or measure of their contents, remedies certain defects in the drafting of the original subsection, and makes it applicable not only to package goods sold or offered or exposed for sale, but also to such goods in the possession of any person for sale. LEAD PROCESS REGULATIONS. These regulations were issued in 1925 to protect workers from the danger of lead poisoning in factories where lead paints are manufactured or prepared, and also in places where painting operations are carried on. No cases of suspected lead poisoning were reported during the year. Mention might be made here that one of the oil companies has recently completed arrangements for placing on the New Zealand market a motor-fuel known as ethyl petrol, which consists of a mixture of motor-spirit and ethyl fluid, the latter containing " tetraethyl lead." The ethyl fluid is imported in highly concentrated form in 10 gallon drums and is broken down in New Zealand by mixing with petrol to the standard required for commercial purposes. A special Department of Health Committee reported to the British Government in 1929 on the handling and distribution of ethyl products, and recommended the adoption of certain precautionary measures, and inquiries are at present being made by the Health Department of New Zealand as to whether any regulations dealing with the matter have been laid down by the British authorities. The corporation supplying ethyl fluid insists on its agents adopting rules and regulations issued by its medical department for the protection of the health of the workers handling the product, and periodical inspections made by this department's officers show that these rules and regulations are adequate and are being strictly adhered to.

TAILORING TRADE REGULATIONS. These regulations were gazetted in 1925 to prevent the misuse of such expressions as tailor-made and " hand-made " as applied to garments made to measure, some of which are made partly by machine process. In eleven instances factory-made garments were found to be incorrectly .described in advertisements, which, when attention was drawn to them, were immediately withdrawn. In no case were proceedings considered necessary. EXPENDITURE DURING THE YEAR.
