REPORT.

The Secbetary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister op Labour. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, Ist August, 1937. I have the honour to present herewith the forty-sixth 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, 1936, to 31st March, 1937. I have, &c., J. S. Htjntee, The Hon. the Minister of Labour. Secretary of Labour.

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT. Several sections of this report furnish evidence of vastly improved 'conditions in industry. Greater employment is indicated by the tables relating to the number of factory workers, certificates of fitness for young persons to be employed in factories, and the number of apprentices in the various skilled trades. The matter is dealt with fully in a separate document which it is intended to table by leave of the House concerning relief of unemployment and measures to promote employment, and generally the activities in connection with the Employment Promotion Fund.

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 1936-37, therefore, chiefly represent the numbers in April, 1936. The upward movement in the number of factories registered and in the number of factory workers which commenced in April, 1934, was maintained during last year, there being large increases under both headings as compared with the previous year. The improvement has been fairly general, but the most marked increases have been in coach and motor-body building, clothing, and white working, motor and cycle engineering, sawmilling, and other trades associated with the building industry and the furniture trade. Boot and shoe manufacturing did not maintain the improvement shown in previous years. The latest figures in the above table relating to the number of factories and the number of factory workers reached a record level. It may also be pointed out that the improvement in factory employment has, as would be expected, been reflected in the increased number of certificates of fitness issued to boys and girls under sixteen years of age to work in factories, the number issued last year reaching the record figure of 4,462, an increase of 1,472 over the previous year. Registration fees received during 1936-37 reflected the increases above noted, being about 9 per cent, greater than in the preceding year. In respect of the 1937-38 year the revenue received during the first quarter indicates that a further increase, both in factories registered and in factory workers, may be anticipated this year, establishing a new record level under both headings. 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 3,327 (3,132 males and 195 females). Of the total number, 135 of the accidents occurred to workers under sixteen years of age, 760 to those between sixteen and twenty, and the remaining 2,432 to those above that age. Of the eight fatal accidents two were caused by or were due to machinery. Of the total accidents, 551 were caused by or were due to machinery. The other principal causes of accidents were found to be as follows : Falls of persons (from stairfe, ladders, platforms, &c.), 350 ; stepping on or striking against fixed objects, 144 ; faulty handling of tools, 821 ; handling of other objects—viz., objects dropped or tipped over objects falling, or strain due to handling—l,o97 ; handling of poisonous, hot, and corrosive substances, 138 ; others (miscellaneous), 226 ; total, 3,327. Disability caused : Temporary disability, 3,214 ; permanent partial disability, 105. Fatalities, 8. Information in respect of time lost in 3,146 cases shows that a total of 55,825 days were lost, or an average of 17-7 days for each worker. The total amount of compensation paid in the 3,242 cases in respect of which the details have been secured was £38,698 14s. 3d. The following particulars are given of the fatal accidents that occurred during the year An employee of an engineering firm who was about to operate a portable electric grinder was electrocuted, apparently as a residt of a short circuit caused through a faulty cable. A machinist at an assembly bench in an ammunition factory was killed instantaneously when an explosion occurred in the vicinity of the machine operated by her. It was not clear how the explosion occurred. A motor-body builder was fitting a metal panel inside a bus when a sheet of glass about 3 ft. above him broke and fell out of its panel, apparently as the result of vibration caused by the hammering below. A piece of the glass struck the worker on the neck, severing the jugular vein. A tinsmith s labourer was working at a vat containing a hot solution of caustic soda when he fell into the vat, suffering burns, which later proved fatal. A worker engaged in the manufacture of acetylene gas removed the cover of the generator for charging purposes, but, finding difficulty in making the iron guide-rod and pistons go down into place, attempted to hammer the guide-rod down with a 56 lb. cast-iron weight. An explosion occurred, the worker suffering injuries, which later proved fatal. Following either a slip or a fainting turn a butter-factory worker fell against the back of a churn, his head being crushed between the roller-gear cover and the gear-box casing. A number of women were working in a shed at a fireworks-factory wrapping and labelling fireworks when apparently one who was wearing shoes with steel heel-plates stepped on one of the fireworks in course of manufacture, causing it to explode. Further explosions occurred amongst the and the shed took fire. All the employees managed to escape from the building except one, who suffered fatal burns before she could be rescued. The headman on the breaking-down bench at a sawmill was crushed and fatally injured when a log, which was being hauled up the skid, caught on the edge of the skid and rolled over on to him. In the following case the accident was to a person other than a " worker " within the meaning of that term as defined by the Workers' Compensation Act, 1922 :— Deceased, the owner of a small sawmill, was operating a breast saw when a piece of the wood, which had been put through the saw, came in contact with the teeth and was carried back over the top of the saw, striking deceased in the chest with fatal results. Deceased had removed from the rear of the saw the protecting fin placed there to minimize the possibility of such accidents.

Inspections, etc. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 8,000 were made. Complaints were received respecting 1,434 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 80 prosecutions and 768 warnings. In 454 cases investigation showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Fifty-nine 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. Convictions were secured in 124 of the 139 prosecutions, the fines totalled £151 ss. No case calls for comment. There were 380 requisitions served to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for lime-washing ; safeguards for workers employed on machinery, &c. ; sanitary conveniences ; fireescapes ; renovations and structural alterations; heating-appliances; ventilation; spray booths in duco work ; first-aid appliances ; and dining-rooms in the case of establishments employing over six women and girls and boys under sixteen ; also provision of drinking-water. Factory Hygiene and Welfare Work. Attention has been given generally to welfare conditions for workers, while in respect of female workers the women Inspectors of Factories in the four chief centres have devoted special time to this work. There is increasing evidence that employers generally are endeavouring to keep working-conditions as congenial as possible, the existence of libraries, thrift clubs, recreation-rooms, and inter-house sports activities tending to increase.

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

In my last report attention was drawn to the increased number of certificates issued. This figure has been eclipsed by that for 1936-37. During the " depression years " fewer young persons were absorbed into factories, with the result that a return to more prosperous times found a leeway to be made up, hence the considerable increases in the last few years. Reference should be made to the section relating to apprentices for particulars of the effort being made to facilitate the entry into skilled trades of those young persons who, as a result of the depression, were deprived of their opportunity to take up a skilled occupation. The Factories Amendment Act, 1936. This Act came into operation on Ist July, 1936, exeept in respect of the reduced working-hours, which operated from Ist September, 1936. The amendment restricts the hours of work in factories to forty a week, eight a day, and four hours and a quarter continuously without an interval of at least three-quarters of an hour for a meal. Women and boys under sixteen are not to be employed on any Sunday, holiday or half-holiday, nor between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. A worker over eighteen may be employed beyond the prescribed hours in getting up steam for machinery or making preparation for the work of the factory for not more than one hour per day, for which he is to be paid at ordinary rates. The Court of Arbitration is given power to fix longer hours than those prescribed by the Act in the case of any factory if, in the opinion of the Court, it would be impracticable to carry on efficiently the work of the factory under the forty-hour week, but any extension granted by the Court may not be beyond forty-four hours. After Ist July, 1936, no worker shall be employed in a dairy factory or creamery on more than six days in any one week, but exemption is granted to factories and creameries in which not more than two workers are regularly employed, special holiday provision being made in such cases, or payment in lieu thereof. Wages are not to be reduced, nor is any person to be dismissed merely by rea,son of any reduction or alteration of working-hours in pursuance of the provisions of this measure. If the wages of any person are reduced or if any person is dismissed after the commencement of the Act the onus is placed on the employer of proving that such reduction or dismissal is not contrary to this provision. The rates of pay for overtime prescribed by section 21 of the principal Act are increased from time and a quarter to time and a halt, while the minimum rate is now fixed at Is. 6d. per hour. The meal-allowance of Is. prescribed by section 23 of the principal Act is increased to Is. 6d. An employee shall be entitled to payment for overtime even where such employee has been employed during extended hours in breach of the provisions of the Act. Section 21 of the principal Act prohibited the working of overtime by women and boys on any holiday or half-holiday, and such prohibition has been extended to Sundays.

All awards and industrial agreements are to be read subject to the provisions of the Act, but this is not to be construed to reduce «rates of wages being paid pursuant to any award or agreement, or to increase working-hours fixed by any such award or agreement. Revised provisions were enacted to ensure that work which is let or given out occupier of a factory shall be done in a registered factory, or if it is done elsewhere than in a registered factory only by a person who holds a license granted by the Inspector for that purpose. Factory occupiers may not employ a greater number of such licensed outside workers than one for every ten or fraction of ten persons employed in the factory. Licenses operate only for a period not exceeding twelve months and are to be granted only to persons who are in necessitous circumstances or who for special reasons are unable to work in a factory, and the Inspector is to be satisfied that the place where the work is to be done is suitable and that the rate of remuneration is substantially equivalent to or higher than the rate that would be payable if the work were done in the factory. A right of appeal to a Magistrate is provided for against the refusal of the Inspector to issue a license to perform work elsewhere than in a registered factory. Paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of section 30 of the principal Act were repealed as they were no longer applicable under the amended provisions for the prevention of " sweating." The Governor-General is empowered in Council to apply the " sweating " provisions of the Act to cases where work is let or given out to be done elsewhere than in the factory, such work being in connection with any specified class or classes of articles other than textile or shoddy material, for which provision is already made in the principal Act. The minimum rates of wages under section 32 of the principal Act are increased from 10s. a week, with annual increments of ss. a week until a wage of £1 10s. is reached, to such rate as is agreed on, being not less than 15s. a week, with half-yearly increments on the agreed rate of not less than 4s. a week until the end of the third year, and thereafter not less than £2 a week. In determining the rate of payment due to any worker all periods of employment in any factory whatsoever require to be taken into consideration. Boxing Day and Anzac Day are added to the list of holidays in section 35 of the principal Act, and it is provided that all persons employed in the factory shall receive such holidays instead of only boys under eighteen years of age and women, and special provision is made regarding payment for such holidays and the periods for which the workers are required to be employed before they are entitled to payment. Double rates are payable where a worker is employed on any holiday, such payment being in addition to the ordinary payment for the holiday, and time and a halt rates where a worker is employed on a half-holiday. Where the ordinary rate is by time and not by piecework a minimum of Is. 6d. per hour is fixed. Special provision is made to meet the case of dairy factories and creameries in which not more than two workers are regularly employed, and for Sunday work in factories. The Finance Act, 1936, contained authority for the Governor-General by Order in Council to modify with respect to any specified factory or specified factories, or with respect to any specified class or specified classes of factories, subject to such conditions as he thinks fit, all or any of the requirements of the Factories Amendment Act, 1936, in respect of— Section 4-: Relating to holidays for workers in dairy factories : Section 14 : Relating to payment of wages for holidays : <■ Section 15 : Relating to payment of wages for Sundays. By Orders m Council dated 12th August, 1936, and 26th August, 1936, modification was effected as follows :— Coal-gas works, dairy factories (including creameries), and electric-power generating and transforming factories: In lieu of the requirements of sections 4 (dairy factories only), 14, and 15 workers employed on holidays and Sundays shall be paid, in addition to their ordinary rate of pay, at not less than one-half of their ordinary rate of pay for the time worked on such holidays or Sundays. Morning daily newspaper factories : So far as the employment of night workers is concerned, the term " holiday " (section 14) shall mean the period from noon on the day preceding the holiday until noon on the day of the holiday, and the term " Sunday " (section 15) shall mean the period from noon on Saturday until noon on Sunday. There was previously no power in the Act for an Inspector to require an occupier to take any action to prevent any accident to the workers except in regard to machinery. The Inspector is now empowered to call upon the occupier to repair or safeguard any part of the factory or any appliance therein or to remedy any defect in the factory or in any machinery or appliance. Wool-dumping factories and low-temperature coal-carbonization factories are added to the list of seasonal industries which are exempt from the limits of working-hours prescribed for male workers over sixteen years of age. This, however, does not prevent the working-hours for such workers in these industries from being prescribed in awards or agreements. Pursuant to the authority contained in section 47 of the Finance Act, 1936, extension of the list of industries exempt from the limits of working-hours was effected by Order in Council dated 12th August, 1936, the following industries being added : — Coal-gas works (where not more than 12,000,000 cubic feet of gas per annum is manufactured) : Ice-cream factories : Fruit and vegetable canning factories (during the canning season) : Wool-scouring factories : Municipal abattoirs : . Electric-power generating and transforming factories (in country districts where only one worker is employed).

SHOPS AND OFFICES ACT. The Department has no accurate record as to the number of shops and the number of assistants» employed therein, but from the information available it is estimated that there were during the year 28,627 shops throughout New Zealand, of which 14,173 (approximately one-half) were carried on without assistants. In the shops with assistants it is estimated there were employed 25,370 males and 23,262 females. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 12,145 were made. Prosecutions numbered 395 ; convictions were obtained in 347 cases. A number of cases were withdrawn ; fines totalled £336 6s. Complaints were received respecting 1,748 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 187 prosecutions and 882 warnings. In 496 cases investigations showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Two hundred and 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. One hundred requisitions were served on occupiers of shops to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for sanitary conveniences, heating-appliances, lunch-room or seating accommodation, ventilation, and partitions. Shops and Offices Amendment Act, 1936. The provisions of the Act —excepting the shorter working-week, which operated from Ist September, 1936 —came into force on the Ist July, 1936. Hours. —In respect of hours of work it is provided that a shop-assistant shall not be employed for more than forty-four hours a week, eight hours a day (except on one day, when the employment may be for eleven hours), nor more than four hours and a quarter continuously without an interval of one hour for a meal, nor after 12 noon on the half-holiday. As in some shops an arrangement under which an assistant shall not be employed for more than four hours and a quarter, without an interval of at least one hour for a meal, may not be altogether practicable, it is prescribed that, provided that a ten-minutes rest period is given, assistants may work up to five hours without a meal. For hotel and restaurant employees there is provided (a) a forty-four hour week, (6) an eight-hour day, (c) not more than four hours and a quarter without an interval of one hour for a meal (except that this may be extended to five hours if a rest period of ten minutes is given), and (d) a half-holiday from 1 p.m. on one day of each week, and also (e) a six-day working-week. Other amendments relating to hours are that butchers' assistants shall not commence work before 6 a.m., instead of 4 a.m. as formerly ; that in regard to assistants engaged in the delivery of milk an earlier starting-time than 3 a.m. is permitted in accordance with conditions approved by the Minister, while the prohibition of the employment of female assistants in a restaurant after 10.30 p.m. was extended to boys under eighteen years. Overtime. —The permission of the Inspector is to be obtained before any overtime is worked in shops ; overtime time-rates were increased from 9d. and Is. to Is. 6d. per hour or time and a half, whichever is the greater ; and the total amount of overtime that may be worked in any year was reduced from 120 to 60 hours. In hotels and restaurants the total amount of overtime that may be worked in any year is reduced from 180 to 120 hours, and the minimum overtime rate is increased from 9d. to Is. 6d. per hour. Wages. —Increases in the minimum rates of wages on the same basis as contained in the Factories Amendment Act, 1936, are provided for —i.e., such amount as is agreed on, being not less than 15s. a week for the first six months, with half-yearly increments on the agreed rate of not less than 4s. a week until the end of the third year, and thereafter not less than £2 per week. In determining the rates of pay due to any worker all periods of employment in any shop whatsoever shall be taken into consideration. Payment of Premiums. —The practice of premiums being asked for in respect of the learning of the ladies' hairdressing trade, &c., received attention, the occupier of a shop being prohibited from accepting a premium from any person, whether a shop-assistant or not, in respect of any tuition in any trade or calling given to any person, with an exception, however, in respect of schools for the teaching of any trade, provided that written contracts are entered into between the parties and that the conditions not only of the contract, but also in respect of facilities for learning the trade, are to the satisfaction of the Chief Inspector of Factories. Definitions. —The definitions of " restaurant " and " shop " were amended to include boardinghouses employing two or more assistants other than members of the family of the occupier, or with five or more boarders. (The principal Act applied to boardinghouses in which three or more persons were employed other than members of the family of the occupier.) Offices. —The exemption from the hours of closing of offices contained in section 46 of the Act is removed in respect of auctioneers, banks, insurance companies, and wholesale warehousemen. Offices in industries where it is necessary to deal with the public in the evenings, such as shipping, railway, tramway, newspaper, telegraph agencies, cable companies, or telegraph companies, or freezing companies or forwarding agencies or Harbour Boards, wool-brokers or wool-buyers, are exempt from closing their offices at 5 p.m. and at noon on Saturdays. This exemption is extended to passenger-transport services and offices of auctioneers situated in stock saleyards, as it is necessary in such cases to attend to the public after 5 p.m. and on Saturday afternoons. Other provisions provide for all offices covered by the Act and not exempted from the closing provisions to close at 12 noon on the half-holiday instead of 1 p.m. ; for overtime to be worked in banks for any of the special purposes mentioned, overtime for any such time worked to be paid in accordant d

5

H.—ll.

with the Act; for an increase in the minimum overtime rate for office assistants from 9d. to Is. 6d. per hour, and also for a meal-allowance of Is. 6d. on any day in which overtime is worked ; for an occupier of an office to keep a time and wages book in the same manner as occupiers of shops and to pay to office-assistants the minimum rates prescribed for shop-assistants ; and for the minimum rates of wages prescribed for shop-assistants to be paid to all assistants employed in solicitors' offices, mining companies' offices, and miners' union offices, overtime not being payable to such workers. Miscellaneous. —To prevent the placing of junior workers in charge of small shops, thereby evading the provisions of the Act in respect of the employment of assistants, it is provided that occupiers in receipt of a wage of not more than £6 a week in the case of males and £4 a week in the case of females shall be subject to all the provisions of the Act relating to shop-assistants. The provisions of awards and industrial agreements have been made subject to the provision? of the Act, but this was not to be construed to reduce rates of wages being paid pursuant to any award or industrial agreement, or to increase working-hours fixed by any such award or agreement. To prevent dismissals or wage-reductions following the reduction of working-hours pursuant to the Act it is provided that, if any person had his wages reduced or was dismissed after the commencement of the Act, the onus was placed on the employer of proving that such reduction or dismissal was not contrary to the Act. INDUSTRIAL CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION ACT. Work done under the Act during the Year 1936-37. Industrial agreements filed .. .. .. 60 (last year 36). Awards of the Court of Arbitration .. .. .. 127 (last year 65). The awards and industrial agreements actually in force on the 31st March, 1937, total 469 (last year 417). Some new occupations now covered, in part, by awards or agreements which have not previously been covered, except possibly in a minor degree, are clerical workers ; coal-carbonization employees; dental assistants and technicians ; fruit preserving and vegetable canning employees ; flock, felt, and spring workers ; gate, fence, and wire* workers ; laundry-workers ; optical employees ; paint and varnish workers ; piano tuners and repairers ; roofing-tilers ; sports-goods employees ; stevedores and foremen ; tile-layers ; tobacco-workers ; warehousemen.

Disputes where partial settlement was arrived at and referred to the Court to make awards .. .. .. .. 67 Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1936. This Act came into operation on the Bth June, 1936, except as regards the reduction in working-hours, which operated from Ist September, 1936. As the result of legal decisions it was found that the definition " industrial matters " contained in the principal Act of 1925 did not permit of the inclusion in awards and agreements of a number of matters for which it had been the practice of the parties to make provision, such as the notification of starting and finishing hours, notification of the employment of non-unionists, and other similar matters, this being remedied by this measure. The Amendment Act further provides that the Court of Arbitration shall of its own motion within six months after the coming into operation of the Act fix basic rates of wages for adult male and adult female workers, the basic rate for adult male workers to be such as would enable a man to maintain a wife and three children in a fair and reasonable standard of comfort. These rates may be reviewed by the Court at intervals of not less than six months. In fixing these rates the Court is to have regard to the general economic and financial conditions affecting trade and industry in New Zealand, and also to the cost of living. No adult male or female worker, the conditions of whose employment are fixed by any award or industrial agreement, may receive less than the basic rate so fixed, but provision is made for the issue in special cases of a permit for a worker to receive less than the basic rate. The Court fixed the basic wage rates as follows : — For adult male workers : £3 16s. per week. For adult female workers : £1 16s. per week (47-37 per cent, of male rate). At the hearing a question was raised as to the meaning to be given to the word " adult " as used in the section. In the Court's opinion the word must be given its ordinary and natural meaning—viz., a person who has attained to legal majority (i.e., a person of the age of twenty-one years and upwards). This order came into force on the 2nd day of November, 1936. During the hearing of the Wellington Industrial District Drug, Chemical, Condiment, Sauce, and Pickle Workers' dispute the Court was asked to clarify, in relation to the basic rate of wages, the position of the casual workers. The memorandum to the award in the dispute referred to stated :— " The award fixes the rate of wages for casual workers at 2s. 6d. per hour for adult male workers and Is. 3d. per hour for adult female workers. The basic rate of wages fixed by the Court is £3 16s. per week for adult male workers and £1 16s. per week for adult females.

6

H.—ll.

" The fixation of such basic rate of wages does not mean that casual workers covered by this award must be paid not less than £3 16s: and £1 16s. respectively for each week in which any work is done by them. " They are entitled to be paid 2s. 6d. and Is. 3d. per hour respectively for the number of hours actually worked by them." A section designed to avoid a multiplicity of unions provided that where there is already in existence in any industry in an industrial district a union of employers or workers or there is a tradeunion registered as such before the Ist May, 1936, to which the employers or workers concerned could properly belong, no other industrial union shall be registered for such industry and industrial district, except with the concurrence of the Minister. This provision was in substitution for section 11 of the principal Act, which gave a right of appeal to the Court of Arbitration against a refusal of the Registrar to register a union. Under the previous law the registration of an industrial union of employers or workers could not be effected with a scope covering more than one industrial district, there being eight industrial districts in New Zealand. The Amendment Act, however, permits the registration of New Zealand unions of employers or workers in any industry or related industries, but no such union shall be registered unless the applicant society has branches in at least four industrial districts. Where there is no existing union of employers or workers in any industry or industries in connection with which the application for the registration of a New Zealand union has been made, registration of the New Zealand union will be effected when the formalities prescribed by the principal Act have been complied with, but where there are already in existence one or more unions of employers or workers in such industry or industries the Registrar shall refuse to register the New Zealand union unless he is satisfied that the existing unions concur in the application or that a majority of all the employers or workers, as the case may be, in New Zealand, being members of such existing unions, are in favour of the registration of a New Zealand union. The effect of registration of a New Zealand union is that registration of all the existing unions concerned are cancelled unless the Minister directs that any existing union shall not be cancelled where he is satisfied that a majority of the members of such union desire that the registration of such union should not be cancelled. Existing awards or industrial agreements continue in operation, notwithstanding the cancellation of existing unions consequent on the registration of the New Zealand union. While a New Zealand union of employers or workers is in existence in any industry or related industries no other union shall be registered unless the Registrar is satisfied that not less than two-thirds of the employers or workers, as the case may be, in the industry or related industries and district or other locality are desirous of obtaining registration of a separate union. Similarly, unions of employers and workers may also be registered for the North Island or for the South Island or for any two or more industrial districts, the provisions relating to New Zealand unions being applied with the necessary modifications, but in the case of a North Island or South Island union there must be branches in at least two industrial districts. The right of parties to have disputes referred to the Court for settlement on failure to arrive at a settlement in Conciliation Council is restored by the Amendment Act, which further provides that workers of eighteen years and over or workers in receipt of the adult minimum rates, covered by an award or industrial agreement, are required to be members of an industrial union of workers bound by the award or agreement or of a trade-union which was registered as such before Ist May, 1936, and which is bound by the award or agreement. Another section empowers the Court to include in an award such provisions as it considers reasonably necessary to secure its effective operation, and, in particular, to confer on union officials the right of entry on the employers' premises. Any such provisions included in an award are deemed to be " industrial matters " within the meaning of the principal Act, and they may be revoked or amended by the Court at any time. Probably the most important section was that providing for the fixing in awards on and after the Ist September, 1936, of maximum working-hours not exceeding forty per week, except where the Court was satisfied that it would be impracticable to carry on efficiently any industry with a forty-hour week. If in any future award the hours fixed exceed forty, the Court is required to indicate in the award the grounds which made it impracticable to limit the hours in accordance with the requirements of the legislation. In regard to awards and industrial agreements existing at the date of the Act the Court was required on application by any party thereto to reduce the maximum hours to forty, except where it was impracticable to do so, in which case it was empowered to reduce the then maximum weekly hours and provide for a maximum intermediate between forty hours and the existing maximum, no such reduction to operate before Ist September, 1936. Where the hours fixed by the existing award or industrial agreement are reduced by the Court, the hourly or other rates of pay are to be increased so that the ordinary weekly rate was not affected by the reduction in working-hours. Where the Court fixes the maximum weekly hours at not more than forty, Saturday work is to be eliminated where practicable. Another section enables the parties to an award, where such award is binding on a majority of the employers concerned in the district to which it relates, to apply to the Court to have the award extended to cover all employers in the industry and district without any necessity for their being specifically cited as parties thereto. This means that where an award is binding on a majority of the employers in the industry and locality it can be extended by the Court by means of a general order to all employers in the industry and locality. Where an order has been made by the Court in pursuance of these powers the Court may grant total or partial exemption to any employer on application within one month thereafter, but the award must be complied with pending the Court's decision. Notice of any application for extension of an award made under this section may be given by advertisement or otherwise, as the Court may direct.

Inspections, etc. 1 During the year 6,478 complaints of alleged breaches of the Act and of awards and industrial agreements, &c., were received, but it was found on investigation that in 2,133 cases no breach had been committed. In 479 cases proceedings were taken, and in 3,110 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, 137 prosecutions were taken and warnings were given in other cases. Of the 616 prosecutions, 537 were against employers and 79 against workers ; 493 convictions were recorded, 424 against employers and 69 against workers. Total penalties, £784 Bs. 6d. Many of the complaints mentioned above had reference to the non-restoration of 1931 award or agreement rates of remuneration pursuant to the Finance Act, 1936, and in addition thereto the Department's Inspectors investigated 849 other complaints where awards or agreements were not involved, while 238 cases were discovered by the Inspectors themselves, the action taken on these cases being included above. As a result of the work arising out of the Finance Act, 1936, the Department's officers were unable to devote much time to the routine inspection duties that are ordinarily undertaken. Registration oe Industrial Associations and Unions. As a result of the accession to power of the Labour Government and the passing of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1936, which provides for compulsory unionism in the case of workers, a large number of organizations of both employers and workers made application for registration during the year. Details of these applications are as follows : — Unions : Employers, 97 ; workers, 315. Associations : Employers, 7 ; workers, 3. As may be imagined, the examination of these applications and the revision of the rules of those organizations for which registration was approved involved an enormous amount of work on the part of the Department's officers, particular care being required in order to avoid a needless multiplicity of unions. It is interesting to note in this connection that of the 422 applications received registration has been granted in only 245 cases, as follows : — Unions registered— Employers, 89 (including two registered after close of year). Workers, 146 (including three registered after close of year). Associations registered — Employers, 7 (including two registered after close of year). Workers, 3. An important feature of the new legislation was that permitting the registration of unions covering the whole Dominion, the whole of the North or South Island, or any group of two or more industrial districts. Up to the 15th June, 1937, thirteen employers' and eleven workers' organizations have been registered under this provision. Excepting in six cases (four employers' and two workers' unions) registration covers the whole Dominion. The new unions cover a large number of trades or occupations in which no such organizations previously existed or existed in only a minor degree—for example, there was a clerical workers' union in Christchurch with only a small membership. These new unions are :— Workers. —Architects' and structural engineers' assistants ; coal-carbonization workers ; clerical workers; soap, candle, &c., workers; dental, employees ; domestic workers; Harbour Board employees ; herd-testers ; ice-cream workers ; laundry employees ; local-body officers ; optical employees ; oyster-trade employees ; paint and varnish manufacturing employees ; rubber-workers ; sports-goods employees ; roofing tilers and slaters ; tile-layers ; tobacco-manufacturing employees ; foremen stevedores, &c. ; wireless operators (marine) ; farm and station hands ; forestry, orchard, tobacco-plantation, and other rural workers. Employers.—Farmers (agricultural and related farmers, dairy-farmers, tomato and produce growers, hop-growers) ; bacon-curers ; booksellers ;. brick, clay products and concrete-pipe manufacturers ; cardboard-box makers; confectionery-manufacturers ; dentists; drug, chemical, condiment, &c., manufacturers; Electric-power Boards; electrical contractors and traders ; electroplaters; glass, oil, colour, &c., merchants; hat-manufacturers ; jam-manufacturers ; jewellers, &c. ; laundrymen ; dyers, &c. ; opticians ; paint and varnish manufacturers ; privatehotel keepers ; radio traders; restaurant-proprietors; saddlers, sail,, tent, and canvas goods manufacturers ; soap-manufacturers ; tanners : woolscourers. The usual statutory return (to 31st December, 1936) of the associations and unions on the register, with membership as at that date, is appended hereto. Comparison with the previous year shows that employers' unions have increased by 70 (from 131 to 201), with an additional total membership of 2,098 (from 4,344 to 6,442), while workers' unions have increased by 77 (from 410 to 487), with a total increase in membership of 104,598 (from 80,929 to 185,527).

Industrial Disturbances during the Year. There were forty-two industrial disturbances during the year, as compared with twenty last year. The increase can be attributed mainly to disputes centering round the reduction of working-hours to forty and the restoration of 1931 wage rates. In most eases the disturbances were of a minor nature and settlements were amicably effected. The most serious case occurred just prior to the Christmas holidays when 1,500 workers at the Westfiekl and Southdown Freezing-works adopted " go-slow " methods, the trouble arising out of dissatisfaction with the rates of wages and other conditions in the new Freezing-workers' award. At the request of the Hon. the Minister of Labour normal work was resumed pending a meeting of the parties after the holidays to consider the matters in dispute. A conference of the parties was held in Wellington on the Bth January, but was not successful. The workers then adopted a " stay-in " policy, and work was suspended at the works. Following intervention by the Hon. the Minister of Labour it was agreed to resume work on the understanding that a conference of the parties was called in Wellington. The conference was held on Thursday and Friday, 21st and 22nd January. Representatives of the workers from each part of the Dominion and of employers from all the works were present, the Hon. the Minister of Agriculture also being associated with the conference. There was evidence that the conference would break up without any good result. There was no doubt that the lower-paid workers bad good grounds for dissatisfaction. The Arbitration Court has laid down in the past that labourers in freezingworks are entitled to 3d. per hour in excess of the rates paid to labourers outside freezing-works. The rate for labourers in the new award was 2s. Id. per hour. The workers thus felt that they had lost their place in the scale-rate of wages for labourers. The employers were not prepared to concede any increase unless they received a direction from the Hon. the Minister of Labour in the matter. He, therefore, directed that a bonus of 3d. per hour should be paid to all hourly workers for time worked, excluding overtime, the workers to hold over the other demands made by them—viz., a forty-hour week and a 10-per-cent. increase in piece-rates —until a new award was made. This was agreed to by both parties. LABOUR DISPUTES INVESTIGATION ACT, 1913. Daring the year eight 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 Disputes Committee. These agreements were as follows : — Clerical employees (sugar company), Auckland. Engineers (shift) in freezing-works, Auckland. Engineers (shift) in freezing-works, Wellington Industrial District. Photo-engravers, Christchurch. Tow-boat employees, Auckland. Tramway and omnibus employees, Auckland. Tramway, omnibus, and power-house employees, Christchurch. Taxi-cab drivers, Dunedin. Arising out of the disputes filed under the Act since its inception only nine ballots have been necessary, and in no case did a strike take place in pursuance of such a ballot. Ten agreements were in force on 31st March, 1937, in the following industries : — Electric-power Board employees. Glassworkers. Shift engineers in freezing-works. Taxi-cab drivers. Tow-boat employees. Tramway and omnibus employees (including workshops and power-house employees). 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 ninety-three functioning, are chiefly to be found in the main towns, and there is usually one for each industry. 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 seventy special inspections under this Act during 1936-37. In addition, inspections were carried out in the course of ordinary inspection and investigation work and while visiting factories, &c., in connection with other duties. Complaints were received regarding 223 alleged breaches of the Act, while 136 other breaches were discovered by the Department's Inspectors, 231 warnings being issued. There were thirty prosecutions during the year for various breaches of the Act and the orders made thereunder, convictions being entered in twenty-eight of the cases, and penalties amounting to £30 6s. being imposed. With one exception all the prosecutions were against employers. 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.

At the end of April the number of registered contracts was just over 5,000, and for a number of years less than this number has been recorded. Thus the number of apprentices is considerably less than is necessary to counteract normal wastage. Because of the position as outlined, a shortage in the skilled trades is inevitable for some years. If the nosmal requirement of industry is as above stated, an additional 5,000 apprentices are required at the present time, while the average annual shortage of new apprentices in the previous nine years has been 720. All these extra apprentices could be engaged without infringement of the proportion clauses of apprenticeship orders. The estimated number of apprentices that may be employed without exceeding the proportion allowed under the various orders of the Court is 14,370. A reluctance on the part of employers to take on apprentices was evident from 1931 onwards, and it is of considerable interest, therefore, to note that in 1936-37 there were 2,328 contracts registered, as compared with 1,292 in 1935-36. In respect of those youths who, on account of the depression, were unfortunate in not being able to enter the skilled trades, provision was made in the Statutes Amendment Act last session to enable the Minister of Labour to approve of contracts of apprenticeship in respect of youths of eighteen years of age and over under any conditions the Minister thinks fit. This provision was made especially to meet the case of those youths who missed their opportunity during the depression and to enable them to become tradesmen. To facilitate the absorption of these youths and to cope with the need for apprentices in the skilled trades generally, discussions between the parties interested have taken place with a view to launching an intensive campaign for the placing in suitable occupations (under special contracts of apprenticeship where the occupation is an apprenticeship one) of young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. As a result, committees representative of employers' and manufacturers' organizations, the workers' organizations, and Government officers (District Registrars and Placement Officers) have been established for the purpose of securing the effective co-operation of all parties in overcoming any difficulties that may arise. Apart from this special" effort, it may be pointed out that a considerable improvement in the apprenticeship position has already taken place during the first quarter of 1937-38 —i.e., before the establishment of the committees just referred to —1,531 apprenticeship contracts having been submitted for registration during that period. Of these, 638 had been registered, while 893 were still under action at the end of the quarter. Statistics published by the Department in previous annual reports reveal that in respect of the building industry apprentices to skilled trades decreased from 1928 to about 21 per cent, of the figure at that date. An examination of the position at the end of June, 1937, indicated that already recovery had taken place to the extent that the number of apprentices then engaged was approximately 45 per cent, of the 1928 total, the latter being taken as normal requirements. There is thus Still considerable scope for the placing of apprentices in this industry. The Statutes Amendment Act, 1936, was passed on the 31st October, 1936, but up to the end of the financial year—viz., 31st March, 1937—comparatively little use had been made of the statute, only thirty-six special contracts being registered in pursuance of its provisions. Probably this was due to the fact that few employers were fully aware of the provisions of the legislation, although it had received a considerable amount of publicity, both during enactment and subsequently. During the period Ist April to 30th June, 1937, forty-nine such contracts were registered, but these figures do not include cases where the approval of the Minister had been given but the contract had not actually been registered. In this connection it may be mentioned that from the passing of the legislation to the 23rd July, 1937, the Minister has approvedfof 132 special contracts.

ARREARS OF WAGES. Amounts totalling £33,854 19(3. sd. (last year £11,790 10s. 2d.) 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 £36,865 15s. 7d. (last year £6,349 16s. 6d.) were paid by employers, at the instance of the Inspectors, directly to the workers concerned: total £70,720 15s. (last year £18,140 6s. Bd.). Of this total, £40,864 15s. 7d. was paid as a result of the operation of the Finance Act, 1936, which restored the 1931 rates of remuneration. The remaining increase is mainly attributable to the increased benefits conferred on workers by the legislation of last session—viz., Factories Amendment Act, 1936, Shops and Offices Amendment Act, 1936, and Agricultural Workers Act, 1936. WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT. During the year 58 cases were heard and determined by the Court of Arbitration (previous year 110). The more important decisions, with a digest thereof, are published in " New Zealand Workers' Compensation Cases," which is issued annually by the Department. Workers' Compensation Amendment Act, 1936. This Act came into force on Ist January, 1937, its principal provisions being — (1) Extending the definition of a " worker " to include a share farmer and any person plying for hire with a vehicle the use of which is obtained under a contract of bailment with the owner (other than a hire-purchase agreement). (2) Extending the benefits of the Act so as to apply to persons employed in any occupation if within the period of twelve months preceding the accident the worker had been continuously engaged or employed for not less than three consecutive days by the employer concerned. This provision includes domestic servants who were previously included in the First Schedule to the principal Act. It is to be noted that the Act previously applied only to the employment of a worker — (a) In and for the purpose of any trade or business carried on by the employer ; and (b) In any occupation specified.in the First Schedule to the Act, whether carried on for the purpose of the employer's trade or business or not. (The occupations in this Schedule are of a generally hazardous nature.) (3) The minimum amount of compensation payable on the death of a worker is increased from £300 to £500. (4) In the case of total incapacity a minimum compensation of £2 a week is provided, while the maximum weekly compensation is increased from £4 to £4 10s-. In the case of compensation for partial incapacity, which is based on the difference between the amount of the worker's earnings at the time of the accident and the amount he is earning or able to earn after the accident, the maximum weekly payment is increased from £4 to £4 10s. (5) The provisions of the principal Act which deal with the calculation of " average weekly earnings," including the special provisions relating to wharf labourers, &c., are repealed and a new basis is provided for computing compensation. This basis is the weekly earnings of the worker in lieu of the average weekly earnings as formerly prescribed. The weekly earnings are deemed to be a full week's earnings (exclusive of overtime) at the ordinary rate of pay for the work in which the worker was employed at the time of the accident. If any question arises as to what constitutes a full working-week, the workingweek is to be the working-week provided for by an award or industrial agreement or agreement under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act or, where there is no award or agreement, the recognized workingweek, and in every other case the full working-week shall be a week of forty hours or a week of five days, as the case may require. In the case of a mining contractor, &c. (vide section 63 of the principal Act), or any person whose remuneration is fixed by reference to the amount of work done, his weekly earnings are deemed to be the largest of the amounts following : — (a) The amount of his weekly earnings ascertained as above described ; or (b) The amount that he would have received as a full week's earnings (exclusive of overtime) for the work on which he was employed at the time of the accident if he had then been employed at the ruling rate of wages payable for the same class of work in the same district; or (c) The basic rate of wages fixed for adult workers under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1936, and in force at the time of the accident. In the case of any other person who (not being a servant) is deemed to be a worker within the meaning of the principal Act (viz., share farmers and persons engaged in plying for hire with a vehicle used under a contract of bailment), his weekly earnings are deemed to be the basic rate of wages fixed for adult workers under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1936, and in force at the time of the accident. Except in the case of a person referred to in the previous paragraph, if a worker's weekly earnings ascertained as set out above would be less than his average weekly earnings calculated in accordance with the provisions of the principal Act, his weekly earnings, instead of being ascertained as aforesaid, are deemed to be his average weekly earnings. (6) Provision is also made that in case of bankruptcy compensation-moneys shall rank equally with wages and receive priority over ordinary debts of the employer. (7) Provision is also made to prevent the discontinuance of weekly payments of compensation to workers except — (a) Where a worker has returned to work : (b) Where the worker's doctor has certified that the worker has wholly recovered or that his incapacity is not due in whole or in part to the accident:

16

H. —11.

(c) Where a medical committee certifies, as mentioned below, that the worker is fit for work, or where the worker without sufficient justification refuses or neglects to submit himself for examination by such committee : (d) Where the worker has agreed to the discontinuance : (e) By judgment of a Court of competent jurisdiction. If a doctor certifies after examining the worker that he is fit for work, the worker may, and if required by his employer shall, submit himself for examination to a committee of three doctors, who shall give a written certificate as to the worker's fitness for work, and such certificate is to be conclusive as to the facts certified. SHEARERS' ACCOMMODATION ACT, 1919, AND AGRICULTURAL WORKERS ACT, 1936. Accommodation. The Agricultural Workers Act came into force on the Ist October, 1936, and, in respect of accommodation provisions, replaced the Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act, 1908, as amended. Thereafter the regulations under the repealed statute were revised and reissued on 3rd February, 1937. Visits to accommodation covered by this statute were made, 155 inspections being recorded and 123 requisitions for improvements served. These inspections were principally of accommodation at sawmills, although inspections were also made at flaxmills, on dairy-farms, and other farms and stations. Mention was made in last year's report of the appointment of a special officer for this work. His activities, since taking up duty, have been confined to inspection of sawmill workers' accommodation, and during the shearing season to those districts where inspection of shearers' quarters was most needed. As a result of his visits, together with those of Inspectors of Factories, 173 inspections of shearers' quarters were made, 153 requisitions requiring improvements being served. Remuneration and Conditions of Employment on Dairy -farms. The new feature introduced by the Agricultural Workers Act, 1936, was the regulation of the remuneration of workers on dairy-farms and the conditions of their employment. With the introduction of a guaranteed price for butterfat the Government sought to improve the conditions on dairy-farms, and in respect of the employees introduced this measure following discussions with representatives of the interests concerned. Wages based on age were fixed, provision being inserted for revision following alteration of the guaranteed price, while, as it was found impracticable to fix hours by reason of the seasonal nature of the work and the necessity for constant attendance during the season, special holiday arrangements were provided for. Other sections dealt with the issue of underrate permits, females being specially provided for, and the prohibition of the employment of children under fifteen years. Remuneration and Conditions of Employment in Orchards and on Farms and Stations. Under the Agricultural Workers Act power was taken to extend the provisions relating to remuneration and conditions of employment on dairy-farms to any other specified class or classes of agricultural workers, with modifications where necessary. Such extensions have been made in the case of agricultural workers in orchards from Ist February, 1937, and in the case of agricultural workers on farms and stations used for the commercial production of wool, meat and/or grain (including seed) from Ist May, 1937. These extensions were decided upon following discussions and agreement between the organizations representing the employers and workers involved. During the year the Department has dealt with numerous inquiries from farmers and workers in regard to the provisions of the Act and regulations. Two hundred and eighty-four complaints were received and investigated. Sixteen breaches were discovered by Inspectors in the course of usual inspection activities. One hundred and fifty-two warnings were issued, but no prosecutions were considered necessary. SCAFFOLDING AND EXCAVATION ACT. During the year 5,475 notices of intention to erect buildings and scaffoldings and to commence excavations were received (previous year, 5,025) and 10,087 inspections were made. There were 48 prosecutions, convictions being recorded in 46 cases, and fines amounting to £58 15s. being imposed. The number of accidents to workers during the year ending 31st December, 1936, was 284 (of which 2 were fatal). 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., 66. The number of accidents according to occupations were —labourers, 137 ; carpenters, 80 ; unclassified, 67. Information as to the time lost and compensation paid shows in regard to the cases in which details are available that a total of 6,579 days were lost and compensation to the amount of £4,614 12s. 7d. was paid. The following are particulars of the fatal accidents reported : — A carpenter was engaged on preparatory work in connection with the erection of a working platform when he missed his footing and fell on to a concrete floor 12 ft. below, sustaining fatal head injuries. A plumber was engaged on repair work on a roof when a gust of wind caught a sheet of iron he was carrying and blew him over. He fell through a skylight on to a concrete floor about 20 ft. below, suffering fatal injuries. In the following cases the accidents were to persons who were not " workers " within the meaning assigned to that term by the Workers' Compensation Act, 1922. A painter who was working on a share basis was discovered lying at the foot of a 24 ft. ladder with his skull fractured. It was not known whether he fell from the ladder or merely fell

on the pavement, but at the inquest a verdict was returned that deceased died from a fractured skull and ruptured liver preceded by a heart attack. A clerk of works went on to a scaffold, and in order to make certain measurements stopped with his legs astride one of the handles of an empty barrow which was hooked on to a hoist. A labourer on the ground, unaware of the presence of the clerk, started the hoist, with the result that the clerk was thrown backwards from the scaffold and fell a distance of 45 ft. to the ground. His injuries proved fatal. A contractor was glazing in a sun-porch 15 ft. from the ground when the nails holding a wooden scaffolding bracket to the wall drew out, causing him to fall, with fatal results. The scaffolding was found to be constructed in a haphazard manner and had not been inspected. SERVANTS' REGISTRY OFFICES ACT. There are 110 offices registered in New Zealand (last year 107). Three complaints were received regarding alleged breaches of the Act, but in no case did investigation disclose that a breach had been committed. The offices appear to be satisfactorily conducted. RENT RESTRICTION. As mentioned in last year's report, the previous legislation regarding rent restriction —viz., Part I of the War Legislation Amendment Act, 1916, and the several amendments thereof —expired on ?31st October, 1936, and has been replaced by the Fair Rents Act, 1936. FAIR RENTS ACT, 1936. This Act, which has currency to 30th September, 1937, was passed on 11th June, 1936, and applies to dwellinghouses that are let at a rental not exceeding £156 a year. The Act, which binds the Crown and which does not apply to any dwellinghouse first let after the passing of the legislation or to blocks of residential flats, prevents any increase in a tenant's rent during the tenancy, except where a fair rent is determined in accordance with the Act, this provision being retrospective to Ist May, 1936. Any such increase can be enforced only pursuant to a Magistrate's order or pursuant to an agreement in writing between the landlord and the tenant and approved by the Inspector of Factories. A Magistrate may determine a fair rent for any dwellinghouse, on the application of either the landlord or the tenant. The fair rent is to be such rent as in the opinion of the Magistrate it is fair and equitable for the particular tenant to pay, having regard to any hardship likely to be inflicted on the tenant or the landlord and to all other relevant considerations. The fair rent is not to be higher than the rent paid by the tenant on 27th November, 1935 (the date of the last general election), or any lower rent that has been payable since that date, unless the landlord proves that that rent is, in the circumstances, too low. Regulations may be made providing for the fixing of the fair rent at an amount equal to a percentage of the capital value of the dwellinghouse (not less than 4 per cent, nor more than 6 per cent, per annum), together with the outgoings for rates, insurance, and repairs, and the amounts (if any) to be allowed for depreciation and as rent of furniture. Such regulations may apply generally or in respect of specified parts of New Zealand or specified classes of dwellinghouses. No such regulations have been issued to date. The fair rent may be altered from time to time, and applies only so long as the tenancy lasts, but a new fair rent may lie determined for any subsequent tenancy. Other provisions empower the Court to order a refund of what it considers to be excessive rent paid during the six months immediately before a fair rent is determined, declare any rent in excess of the fair rent to be irrecoverable, enable a tenant to recover (or deduct from future rent) any rent that he has paid in excess of that payable under the Act, and prohibit the charging of fines or premiums for letting houses to which the Act applies. It is required that fourteen days' notice be given to the tenant before proceedings for possession .are commenced, while the grounds on which possession of a dwellinghouse may be obtained are restricted, and the Court is authorized to refuse an order for possession where it is not satisfied that the landlord would suffer greater hardship from the refusal of an order than the tenant would suffer by reason of the grant of an order. The Court also has discretionary power to suspend any such proceedings for as long as it thinks fit, with or without imposing conditions. The right of the landlord to distrain for rent is also restricted. The Inspector of Factories is empowered to act on behalf of any tenant in proceedings under the Act, and the following table indicates the extent to which tenants have availed themselves of the services of the Department's Inspectors.

The Department investigated six alleged breaches of section 15 of the Act, which imposes certain restrictions on the letting or , selling of a dwellinghouse where the landlord has recovered possession on the grounds that the premises are required for his own occupation. Proceedings were taken in three instances and penalties amounting to £25 were imposed. In two cases it was considered that the circumstances did not justify proceedings, while in the remaining case proceedings have been authorized since the end of the year. FOOTWEAR REGULATION ACT. During the year 661 establishments and 1,472 shipments were inspected under this Act, the latter in pursuance of the arrangement made with the Customs Department whereby all imported footwear is examined in the Customs shed before release. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT. The regulations under the Act provides 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 32,667 4,131 Measures .. .. •• •• 2,575 52 Weighing-instruments.. .. .. .. 20,651 2,487 Measuring-instruments .. .. . . .. 6,830 1,246 62,723 7,916 There were also submitted for verification 582,161 bottles —milk, cream, or oil. In addition to the reverification work referred to, the Department has carried out surprise tests of appliances on the owner's premises, the net-weight and standard-weight provisions of the regulations also receiving attention. There were thirty-four prosecutions for various breaches under this Act, convictions being obtained in thirty cases, and fines amounting to £42 10s. being imposed. Verification fees earned totalled £8,655 19s. 4d. (previous year, £9,525 ss. 9d.) ; decrease, £869 6s. sd. During the year the following twenty 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 and semi-self-indicating (counter and platform) scales . . 4 Non-self-indicating (counter and platform) scales .. . . 2 Milk scale . . .. . • • • ■ ■ • ■ . . 1 Personal weighing-machines . . . . ■ • • ■ . . 3 Automatic and semi-automatic machines . . . . . . . . 3 Egg-grading instrument .. ... .. • • • • 1 Measuring-capacity — Oil-bottle .. .. • • • • • • ■ • • • 1 Subdivided glass measure .. . . . • ■ • • • .. 1 Petrol-flow meters .. .. .. ■ ■ • ■ • • .. 2 Measuring-length : Linear measuring instruments .. .. . . 2 20 Of these, nine have been approved after modification, four are still under consideration, and seven have been rejected as not complying with the Weights and Measures Act and regulations. Inspections were again made during the year to ensure that the provisions of the Sale of Food 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. INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE. The twentieth session of the International Labour Conference met on the 4th June, 1936, New Zealand being represented by a delegation consisting of one Government representative, one employers' representative, and one workers' representative. The Draft Conventions and Recommendations adopted were presented to the Legislature last session. These were 1. Draft Convention (No. 50) concerning the regulation of certain special systems of recruiting workers. 2. Draft Convention (No. 51) concerning the reduction of hours of work on public works undertaken or subsidized by Governments (persons directly employed on building or civil engineering works financed or subsidized by central Governments). 3. Draft Convention (No. 52) concerning annual holidays with pay. 4. Recommendation (No. 46) concerning the progressive elimination of recruiting. 5. Recommendation (No. 47) concerning annual holidays with pay. In respect of the twenty-first session held on the 6th October, 1936, the draft conventions and recommendations adopted will be tabled this session. These were : 1. Draft Convention (No. 53) concerning the minimum requirement of professional capacity for masters and officers on board merchant ships. 2. Draft Convention (No. 54) concerning annual holidays with pay for seamen. 3. Draft Convention (No. 55) concerning the liability of the shipowner in case of sickness, injury, or death of seamen.

19

H.—ll.

4. Draft Convention (No. 56) concerning sickness insurance for seamen. 5. Draft Convention (No. 57) concerning hours of work on board ship and manning. 6. Recommendation (No. 48) concerning the promotion of seamen's welfare in ports. 7. Recommendation (No. 49) concerning hours of work on board ship and manning. The only convention adopted at the twenty-second session held on the 22nd October, 1936, was Draft Convention (No. 58), fixing the minimum age for the admission of children to employment at sea. This also will be tabled this session. The twenty-third session opened on the 3rd June, 1937, the following being the items on the Agenda : — (i) Safety provisions for workers in building construction, with reference to scaffolding and hoisting machinery. (ii) Reduction of hours of work in the textile industry. (iii) The planning of public works in relation to employment. (iv) Reduction of hours of work in the printing and related trades. (v) Reduction of hours of work in the chemical industry. (vi) (a) Partial revision of the Minimum Age (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 5) ; and (b) partial revision of the Minimum Age (Non-industrial Employment) Convention, 1932 (No. 33), in both cases raising the minimum age from fourteen to fifteen years. RATIFICATION OF INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE CONVENTIONS. Fifty-two conventions have been adopted by the various sessions of the International Labour Conference held from 1919 to 1936. These have been laid on the table of the House, but no action has been taken to ratify the conventions. ASSISTED IMMIGRATION. Commencing from May, 1927, there has been a gradual diminution of assisted migration to New Zealand, and of recent years the only cases approved have been pursuant to previous promise, express or implied. In the main, the cases approved have been those where a portion of a family has previously received assisted passages and the remaining members have subsequently desired to follow them to this country. During the year 1936-37 eleven migrants received assisted passages (previous year, nil).
