DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR (REPORT OF THE).

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

REPORT.

The Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister ot? Labour. Department of Labour, Wellington, 24th July, 1939. Sir, — I have the honour to present herewith the forty-eighth 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, 1938, to 31st March, 1939. I have, &c., Henry E. Moston, Secretary of Labour. The Hon. the Minister of Labour.

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN FACTORIES. This report does not cover activities in connection with the Employment Promotion Fund. The tables embodied in this report show increases in the number of workers employed in factories, also a further increase in the number of factories registered. Many factory trades have found difficulty in obtaining sufficient skilled and semi-skilled workers to meet demands. A review of the number of permits issued to young persons to be employed in factories indicates the shortage of labour that exists, particularly in those factories where female labour is employed. The returns of apprentices employed in the skilled trades disclose a steady increase.

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 1938-39, therefore, chiefly represent the numbers in April, 1938. It will be noticed that increases have again been recorded in the number of factories and in the number of factory workers, but an examination of the figures in connection with the more important trades shows that, while the factory workers have increased in some cases, there has been a decided reduction in others. For example, in trades associated with the building industry the number of factory workers has increased by 814, meat freezing 108 increase, chemical fertilizer and manure manufacturing 176 increase, motor engineering 604 increase, tinsmithing and coppersmithing 107 increase, baking 236 increase, biscuit and confectionery 186 increase, fruit-preserving and jam-making 115 increase, printing and bookbinding, &0., 258 increase, laundrywork and dyeing and cleaning 182 increase. As against these figures, however, reductions have been recorded in the following trades : Tanning and fellmongery 285 decrease, flaxmilling and rope and twine making 166 decrease, general engineering 137 decrease, coach and motor-body building 288 decrease, boot and shoe manufacturing 485 decrease, clothing-manufacturing 1,158 decrease, woollen-milling 261 decrease, sauce, pickle, and condiment making 124 decrease. In a number of the trades in which the number of factory workers have decreased there is a definite shortage of workers, particularly of female workers, and inquiries are being made into the question of employment in factories, including the needs of secondary industry as regards labour requirements, while there is also under consideration a scheme for transferring men from public and local-body works into secondary industries with a view to their being trained in the work, thereby assisting to alleviate the position so far as the shortage of skilled workers is concerned. Accidents. In order that they 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. As indicated in last year's report, the accident statistics for the year ended 31st December, 1937, were not available at the date of completion of that report. Particulars of these accidents are as follows :— The total number of reported accidents to workers in factories is 4,258 (4,027 males and 231 females). Of the total number, 145 of the accidents occurred to workers under sixteen years of age, 919 to those between sixteen and twenty, and the remaining 3,194 to those above that age.' Of the 9 fatal accidents, 3 were caused by or were due to machinery. Of the total accidents, 660 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.), 503 ; stepping on or striking against fixed objects, 222 ; faulty handling of tools, 1,001; handling of other objects—viz., objects dropped or tipped over, objects falling, or strain due to handling, 1,304 ; handling of poisonous, hot, and corrosive substances, 265 ; others (miscellaneous), 303; total, 4,258. Disability caused: Temporary disability, 4,122; permanent partial disability, 127. Fatalities, 9. Information in respect of time lost in 4,045 cases shows that a total of 74,760 days wore lost, or an average of 18-5 days for each worker. The total amount of compensation paid in the 4,151 cases in respect of which the details have been secured was £55,100 18s. 2d. For the year ended the 31st December, 1938, the total number of reported accidents to workers in factories is 4,165 (3,915 males and 250 females). Of the total number, 139 of the accidents occurred to workers under sixteen years of age, 845 to those between sixteen and twenty, and the remaining 3,181 to those above that age. Of the 9 fatal accidents, 3 were caused by or were due to machinery. Of the total accidents, 592 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.), 458 ; stepping on or striking against fixed objects, 261 ; faulty handling of tools, 964 ; handling of other objects—viz., objects dropped or tipped over, objects falling, or strain due to handling, 1,298 ; handling of poisonous, hot, and corrosive substances, 248 ; others (miscellaneous), 344 : total, 4,165. Disability caused : Temporary disability, 4,041 ; permanent partial disability, 115. Fatalities, 9. Information in respect of time lost in 4,007 cases shows that a total of 75,479 days were lost, or an average of 18-8 days for each worker. The total amount of compensation paid in the 4,118 cases in respect of which the details have been secured was £61,599 3s. 7d. The following particulars are given of the fatal accidents that occurred during the year A worker operating a concrete-pipe-moulding machine received injuries to his arm due to his being struck by a broken mould-ring. As a result of complications arising from the accident he died about a fortnight later. A sawmill worker was engaged in oiling machinery beneath the mill when his clothing became caught up in the shafting, and he sustained fatal injuries. A worker engaged in excavating clay at a brick and pipe works received fatal injuries as a result of being struck by a fall of clay.

H.-11.

A worker in a garage had jacked up the chassis of a heavy lorry, using a wooden block on the raising-plate of the jack in order to gain additional height, and was bending over one of the wheels below the chassis when the block slipped and he was struck on the back of the neck by the chassis and killed instantly. On the completion of the loading of frozen meat into the first of a rake of four vans the signal was given to the engine-driver to move the vans along in order to bring the second one to the loading-point, when one of the workers engaged in the loading apparently slipped and had his left leg crushed between the door of the second van and a veranda support. The injuries sustained by him subsequently proved fatal. A worker who was employed by an explosive manufacturer and whose duties included the handling of chlorate of potash had just left the factory for his lunch when his clothing, which was impregnated with the chemical, became ignited, apparently as a result of his smoking a cigarette, and he sustained fatal injuries. A gasworker climbed into a pit to open the cocks of the drain pipes of a large purifier in order to drain off water. He was found about twenty minutes later asphyxiated as a result of accidentally inhaling coal-gas, which was being discharged from the pipes. A worker employed in the manure department of a freezing-works opened the door at the bottom of one of the digestors and sustained fatal injuries as a result of being scalded by boiling water, which had not completely drained away. A female weaver sustained fatal head injuries as a result of putting her head in a dangerous position when examining the cloth in the loom she operated. Inspections, etc. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 14,817 were made. Complaints were received respecting 694 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 35 prosecutions and 459 warnings. In 176 cases investigation showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Forty-one prosecutions were instituted for breaches which were discovered by Inspectors, and warning's were given in other cases, being either first offences or of a minor nature. Convictions were secured in 49 of the 76 prosecutions ; the fines totalled £57 lis. No case calls for comment. There were 760 requisitions served to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for lime-washing, safeguards for workers employed on machinery, &c., sanitary conveniences, fire-escapes, 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. Boys and Girls in Factories.

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

It should be noted that while there were 4,150 certificates issued to boys and girls last year, in 2,930 cases (approximately 71 per cent.) the boys and girls concerned had passed the Sixth Standard, and the majority of the young people did not enter blind-alley employment, the principal trades in which they are engaged being—in the case of boys, engineering and allied trades, boot-manufacturing, furniture trade, printing, &c. ; and, in the case of girls, clothing and allied trades, biscuit and confectionery, boot-manufacturing, printing, &c. Although the number of certificates issued increased considerably from 1934 onwards it should be noted that the numbers of boys and girls entering State post-primary schools have also increased each year from that date : —- Year ended 31st December, 1934 .. .. .. .. .. 12,686 Year ended 31st December, 1935 .. .. .. .. .. 13,177 Year ended 31st December, 1936 .. .. .. .. .. 13,466 Year ended 31st December, 1937 .. .. .. .. 14,315 Year ended 31st December, 1938 .. .. .. .. .. 14,814 These figures are taken from the annual reports of the Education Department. Amendment of the Factories Act, 1921-22. The holiday provisions of the Factories Amendment Act, 1936, were amended by section 17 of the Statutes Amendment Act, 1938, the main effect of the amendment being to require that payment of wages for the eight holidays specified by the Act shall be made to all persons employed in the factory

at any time during the fortnight ending on the day on which the holiday occurs. This provision was previously in operation in respect of only five holidays—viz., Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday, and Easter Monday—the remaining three holidays being required to be paid for only where the worker had been employed in the factory for four days during the week ended on the day on which the holiday occurred. The section also excluded from the holiday provisions of the Act casual workers employed merely for the purpose of baking or preparing for baking any article of food required for sale for human consumption to meet a public demand resulting from the observance of any of the eight specified holidays. Under the powers contained in section 47 of the Finance Act, 1938, an order was issued adding sugar-of-milk factories to the list of industries exempt from the statutory limits of working-hours and at the same time modifying in respect of this class of factory the sections in the 1936 Amendment Act relating to payment for time worked on holidays and Sundays. 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 29,881 shops throughout New Zealand, of which 15,146 (approximately one-half) were carried on without assistants. In the shops with assistants it is estimated there were employed 26,734 males and 25,215 females. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 21,533 were made. Prosecutions numbered 427 ; convictions were obtained in 396 cases. A number of cases were withdrawn ; fines totalled £400 3s. Of the prosecutions, 252 were for offences regarding the closinghours of shops in the evenings or on the statutory half-holiday. Complaints were received respecting 887 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 133 prosecutions and 423 warnings. In 265 cases investigations showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Two hundred and ninety-four 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 and ninety-nine requisitions were served on occupiers of shops to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for sanitary conveniences, heating-appliances, lunch-room, seating or rest-room accommodation, lighting, ventilation, cleanliness, and partitions, including separate entrances. Universal Half-holiday. In view of the agitation in many quarters for the fixing by statute of a universal statutory closingday for shops it is interesting to note the changes in the half-holidays fixed by local authorities and by poll of electors during the past year or two. The changes in half-holiday effected by the local authorities were as follows : In January, 1937, twenty-seven districts changed to Saturday; in January, 1938, four districts changed to Saturday, and one district changed from Saturday to a midweek day, while in January, 1939, eleven districts changed to Saturday. Of the forty-two districts which changed to Saturday twenty-one were counties, while one town district changed froni Saturday to a mid-week day. At the last poll of electors to determine the half-holiday held in May, 1938, fourteen boroughs and town districts (including the town district which in January, 1938, changed from Saturday to a mid-week day) changed to the Saturday half-holiday, while there were no changes from Saturday to a mid-week day. A summary of the present position for the whole of New Zealand is as follows : — Half-holiday fixed by Poll. Day other than Saturday.

In other words, 155 districts .(with an estimated-total population of. 1,111,048) observe Saturday, while 141 districts (with an estimated total population of 483,227) observe a day other than Saturday. It will be noted that the majority of the districts that observe the half-holiday on a day other than Saturday are counties, which, of course, comprise the rural areas, but the figures given above for the three years 1937, 1938, and 1939, show that there is an increasing tendency towards the adoption of the Saturday half-holiday in the country districts, while the four large centres and the great majority of the other urban areas already observe the Saturday half-holiday.

INDUSTRIAL CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION ACT. Work done under the Act during the Year 1938 39. Industrial agreements filed .. .. .. 67 (last year 77). Awards of the Court of Arbitration .. .. .. 239 (last year 216). The awards and industrial agreements actually in force on the 31st March, 1939, total 568 (last year 598). This decrease is attributable to the fact that a number of awards with a scope covering only one district have been superseded by Dominion awards. Some new occupations now covered by awards or agreements which have not previously been covered are architectural assistants ; billiard and sports' rooms attendants ; licensed hotel clerical workers ; chartered club employees ; fish-shop employees ; forestry workers ; greenkeepers ; public accountants' employees ; racecourse employees ; racing-stable hands ; taxi telephonists ; umbrellaworkers.

Disputes where partial settlement was arrived at, and referred to the Court to make awards .. .. .. 69 (last year 98). An idea of the value of the work performed in conciliation can be obtained from the accompanying chart, which shows, since the inception of the Councils of Conciliation in 1909, the number of disputes dealt with by conciliation and the percentage of agreement reached. It will be seen that a high percentage of either complete or substantial agreement has been reached in conciliation, leaving a relatively small number of disputes to go on to arbitration each year. It is to be noted that the term " substantial agreement" covers only those cases in which one or two points of a minor nature remained to be settled by arbitration. Cases where several major clauses remained unsettled have been listed under " little or no agreement." The effect of the legislative changes in 1932 is clearly seen, while the position appears to be returning to normal since the reinstatement of the full system in 1936.

The following summary shows the minimum wage-rates as at 31st May, 1939, iixed by awards and agreements in a number of the principal industries:— (Where there is no Dominion award or agreement in operation Wellington rates have been taken.)

The industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1930, provides for the fixing in awards of maximum working-hours, exclusive of overtime, not exceeding forty per week, except where the Court is satisfied that it would be impracticable to carry on efficiently any industry if the hours were so limited. A further provision is that where the Court fixes the maximum weekly hours at not more than forty Saturday work is to be eliminated where practicable. In respect of awards in operation at the date hereof the following tables set out the industries or occupations in which the hours are fixed at forty per week, also where the hours fixed exceed forty, and where Saturday work is permitted.

The Department has no definite information as to the number of workers covered by awards in particular industries, but taking as a basis the number of workers who are members of unions (249,231) it is estimated that 184,454, or 74 per cent., are enjoying a forty-hour week. Of this number, only 21,115 are required to work on six days. The remaining 26 per cent, of workers who are required to work more than forty hours are principally shop-assistants; private-hotel, boarding-house, and restaurant employees ; drivers ; seamen ; marine cooks and stewards ; freezing-works employees ; and shearers. Inspections, &c. During the year 8,896 complaints of alleged breaches of the Act and of awards and industrial agreements, &c., were received, but it was found on investigation that in 2,956 cases no breach had been committed. In 458 cases proceedings were taken, and in 3,990 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 114 prosecutions were taken, and warnings were given in other cases. Of the 572 prosecutions, 525 were against employers and 47 against workers ; 407 convictions were recorded, 366 against employers and 41 against workers. Total penalties, £490 4s. 6d. Registration of Industrial Associations and Unions. The usual statutory return (to 31st December, 1938) giving a list of associations and unions on the register at that date, together with registered offices and membership, is appended hereto. Comparison with the previous year shows that employers' unions number 248, as against 239 for last year (an increase of 9), with a total membership of 9,131, compared with 8,441 last year (an increase of 690), twelve new unions being registered and three cancelled. Workers' unions number 466, as against 501 last year (a decrease of 35), with a total membership of 249,231, compared with 232,986 (an increase of 16,245). New registrations totalled 28 and cancellations 63. In almost every case cancellation was due either to the desire of a small union for absorption by a larger union in the same district or to the union's concurrence in the registration of a new union to cover two or more industrial districts, thereby bringing about the cancellation of its own registration and the absorption of its members into the new organization. The provisions of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1936, permitting of 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 have been further utilized by industrial organizations of both employers and workers. Up to 31st May, 1939, 47 organizations (last year 36) have been registered under these provisions, 19 being employers' and 28 being workers' unions. In 27 cases (employers 13 and workers 14) such unions cover the whole Dominion (last year 24), the following being the industries concerned :— Employers. —Farming (dairy, sheep, agricultural, and other), fruit-growing, commercial gardening, flour-milling, frozen-products manufacturers, motor-trade, and timber trade. In addition, several groups of local authorities—namely, Harbour Boards, County Councils, Electric-power Supply Authorities, and Rabbit Boards —have registered as New Zealand unions of employers. Workers. —Clerical workers (insurance, banking, shipping, and freezing), dairy-factory workers, engine-drivers, gasworks employees, Harbour Boards' employees, merchant service officers, stonemasons, musicians, timber-workers, waterside workers, and the New Zealand Workers' Union covering farm and station hands, shearers, threshing-mill workers, forestry workers, road-construction workers, and a number of other classes of rural workers. In addition, there are a number of unions with a scope covering the greater part of New Zealand. These are the New Zealand (except Northern Industrial District) Amalgamated Engineering and Related Trades' Union ; the New Zealand (except Westland) Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Related Trades' Union ; The New Zealand (except Westland and Otago and Southland) Printing and Related Trades' Union ; and the New Zealand (except Northern, Nelson, and Westland) Theatrical and Places of Amusement Employees' Union. Industrial Disturbances during the Year. There were sixty-eight industrial disturbances during the year, as compared with sixty-three last year. Of these disturbances, 25 were in the coal-mining industry, 10 in the freezing industry, and 9 in the chemical manure industry. The following is a summary of the larger disturbances : — Four hundred coal-mine workers in the Nightcaps and Ohai districts ceased work as a result of the workers and owners being unable to agree upon the term of a new agreement between the parties. The workers desired the agreement to be for a term of two years, while the owners were agreeable only to a one-year term. The parties agreed to refer the point in dispute to the Court of Arbitration, and work was resumed after the loss of four working-days. At the hearing other matters were raised, and the Court found that, owing to its other fixtures, it would be unable to deal with the case. Finally it was agreed that the matters in dispute should be referred to a National Disputes Committee, and, at the request of both parties, the Judge of the Court consented to act as chairman. It may be mentioned that the workers involved in this dispute were not subject to an award of the Court, nor were they members of an industrial union registered under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act.

Alleging victimization concerning the dismissal of a trucker, four hundred coal-mine workers in the Greymouth district ceased work as a protest. After negotiations the trucker was reinstated pending inquiry by the Disputes Committee set up in accordance with their agreement under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act, and the men resumed work after the loss of five working-days. Approximately four hundred and thirty-five male and one hundred and thirty-two female freezing-workers at Westfield ceased work owing to a dispute over dressing-room and locker accommodation. After a stoppage of between two and three working-days work was resumed pending the decision of a tribunal, comprising one representative of each side and an independent chairman, to be set up to deal with the question of accommodation at various freezing-works throughout the Dominion. At Westfield six hundred and fifty freezing-workers ceased work owing to dissatisfaction with the Magistrate's decision regarding the interpretation of the Freezing-workers' award in respect of the system of slaughtering in operation at the works. Work was resumed after the loss of three and a half days pending the hearing by the Court of Arbitration of an. appeal against such decision. As a result of the dismissal of waterside workers by the shipping companies for allegedly adopting a "go slow " policy, approximately seven hundred and eighty men were involved in a stoppage of work on the Wellington waterfront. Following on the intervention of the Hon. the Ministers of Labour and Marine, work was resumed after the loss of about two working-days. The accompanying chart shows the number of disputes and the number of workers involved since 1900 and the amount of wages and the number of working-days lost through disputes since 192.1, previous to which year comparable statistics were not available. It is of interest to note that prior to 1910 very few disputes were recorded. The high point for 1913 coincides with the watersiders' and slaughtermen's strikes of that period. The high points in 1921 and 1923 reflect the disturbances among coal-miners, seamen, and watersiders in those years, while the later peak in 1932 was a result of the unsettled industrial conditions at the time. While the last three years show an increase in the number of disputes and of workers involved it will be seen that such disputes were of only a minor nature and were short-lived, the increase not being] marked in[' the loss of wages or of working-days.

LABOUR DISPUTES INVESTIGATION ACT, 1913. This Act provides machinery to deal with industrial disputes not coming within the scope of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. A strike or lock-out of workers or employers may take place where there is no agreement or award in force under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act provided that a certain period—about three weeks —has been allowed for the investigation of the dispute and for a ballot on the question at issue as hereafter mentioned. Notice of the dispute must be given to the Minister of Labour, who may then refer the dispute to a Conciliation Commissioner, who calls a conference of the parties, or the Minister may appoint a Labour Disputes Committee to investigate the matter. After the expiration of fourteen days a ballot of the workers or employers, as the case may be, is conducted by the Registrar of Industrial Unions on the question whether the recommendations made for the settlement of the dispute should be accepted or on the question of striking or locking-out. After the expiration of seven days following the notification of the result of the ballot the parties may strike or lock-out. Only nine ballots have been taken under the Act since; 1913, and in none of these cases did a strike take place. The Act also provides that agreements entered into by employers or workers to whom the Act applies may be filed with the Clerk of Awards and enforced for the period of their currency as if they were industrial agreements under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act —vide section 8. During the year ten agreements were filed pursuant to section 8, 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 : — Westland engine-drivers, firemen, pumpmen, &c. (State coal-mines). New Zealand shift engineers in freezing-works. Auckland Electric-power Board shift engineers. Taranaki and Wellington shift engineers in cool stores. Canterbury racing-stable hands (galloping section). Canterbury racing-stable hands (trotting section). Otago and Southland cool-stores employees. Wellington fire-brigade officers. Sandfords Ltd. (Auckland) engineers. Gisborne shift engineers in freezing-works. Fourteen agreements were in force on 31st March, 1939, in the following industries : — Cool-storage workers (1). Engine-drivers, firemen, &c. (1). Engineers (6). Engineers (marine) (1) Fire-brigade officers (1) Racing-stable hands (2). Totalizator employees (1) Tow-boat employees (1) APPRENTICES ACT. This Act, which was passed in 1923, places the regulation of apprenticeships under 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-eight, operate mainly in the chief centres, and there is usually one Committee for each industry. Taking the Dominion as a whole, there is a lack of interest shown by employers and workers alike concerning the provisions of the Act relating to the work of Apprenticeship Committees. It might be regarded as an unwise policy to give to any Committee too large an area to control, on account of the difficulties of travelling and the fact that the positions on Committees are honorary. However, taking the eighteen districts into which the Dominion is divided and a District Registrar of Apprentices—viz., the Inspector of Factories —is appointed there should be 320 Apprenticeship Committees established if the law is to function equally throughout the Dominion. At the present time the District Registrar is empowered to act where there is no Apprenticeship Committee. Among the Committees that are functioning a keen interest is displayed in the duties assigned to them by the Court of Arbitration. The Department has 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 187 special inspections under this Act during 1938-39. 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 237 alleged breaches of the Act, while 363 other breaches were discovered by the Department's Inspectors, 382 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 all cases, and penalties amounting to £48 ss. being imposed. With nine exceptions, 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 theDepartment and includes special contracts under section 7 of the Statutes Amendment Act, 1936.

The number of new contracts registered for the years ended 31st March, 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939, were as follows : 1,292; 2,328; 3,235; and 2,700. However, there still appears to be a reluctance on the part of some employers to engage apprentices, and there is yet ample scope for the employment of a greater number without in any way exceeding the proportion allowed by the various Orders of the Court of Arbitration. Steady progress has been made under section 7 of the - Statutes Amendment Act, 1936, which was enacted especially to meet the case of those youths who missed their opportunity of learning a trade during the depression. This provision enables the Minister of Labour to approve of contracts of apprenticeship in respect of youths of eighteen years of age and over upon such terms and conditions as the Minister thinks reasonable and equitable. Up to the 20th July, 1939, 1,356 contracts had been approved by the Minister, and particulars of the principal trades concerned are as follow : Bricklaying, 28; carpentry and joinery, 623; coachworking, 56; electrical, 82; engineering, 90; motor engineering, 127 ; furniture, 54 ; painting and decorating, 86 ; plastering, 38. In order to encourage apprenticeships in the carpentry and joinery and bricklaying trades a subsidy is offered to employers in respect of the employment of youths between eighteen and twenty-five years of age in these occupations. This scheme is still in operation, and 478 contracts have been approved in the carpentry and joinery trade and 21 in the bricklaying trade. The following table shows the number of apprentices employed in the various branches of the building industry during each of the past six years as compared with the number employed in 1928 : —

WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT. During the year ninety-five cases were heard and determined by the Court of Arbitration (previous year sixty-five). 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. As previously mentioned, provision was made in section 9 of the above Act to prevent the discontinuance of weekly payments of compensation to workers except, inter alia, where a medical committee certified that the worker was fit for work. It was subsequently found, as a result of a decision of the Court of Appeal, that this provision was liable to cause hardship in that it precluded the Court of Arbitration from hearing any claims for compensation where the medical committee had certified, that the worker was fit for work, and it was afterwards found that such was not the case. Section 9 of the Workers' Compensation Amendment Act, 1936, was therefore amended by section 62 of the Statutes Amendment Act, 1938, and it is now provided that weekly payments of compensation shall not be ended or diminished in disputed cases except pursuant to a judgment of a competent Court or pursuant to leave granted by a Judge of the Court of Arbitration or a Stipendiary Magistrate. Although leave may be given to end or diminish weekly payments, this does not preclude the worker from subsequently taking proceedings for the recovery of compensation. Where an employer ends or diminishes weekly payments contrary to the provisions of the Act the worker may recover double the amount in respect of which default has been made. As a result of the above legislation the need for the medical committees mentioned in last year's report ended and they automatically lapsed. Regulations under Workers' Compensation Act. The regulations under the Act were completely revised and consolidated during the year and were issued as the Workers' Compensation Rules 1939. Although mainly a consolidation of the previous regulations, these rules introduce for the first time provision for discovery of documents and for the transfer of compensation-moneys. The new rules relating to discovery bring the practice of the Court of Arbitration into line with Supreme Court practice, and simplify the procedure by allowing for discovery and inspection of documents and for the use of interrogatories. The transfer of funds rules provide for reciprocal arrangements between New Zealand and other countries within the Dominions of the Crown for the transfer and administration of compensation-moneys due to New Zealand beneficiaries resident overseas, and vice versa. SHEARERS' ACCOMMODATION ACT, 1919, AND AGRICULTURAL WORKERS ACT, 1936. Accommodation. The following inspections of accommodation under the above Acts were made during the year : — Accommodation for— Earm workers ~ .. .. .. .. • • 1,409 Orchard workers .. .. .. .. .. .. 120 Sawmill workers .. .. .. .. .. .. 73 Shearers .. .. .. .. .. .. • • 1,923 Total .. .. .. .. .. .. 3,525 As a result of the inspections 693 requisitions requiring improvements were served—farm workers, 292 ; orchard workers, 47 ; sawmill workers, 12 ; and shearers, 342. Remuneration and Conditions oe Employment. The Agricultural Workers Act, 1936, fixed minimum wages based on age for workers on dairyfarms and provided for revision following alteration of the guaranteed price for dairy-produce under the Primary Products Marketing Act, 1936. Accordingly when the guaranteed price for the 1938-39 season was determined the wages-rates were reviewed and the Agricultural Workers' Wage Fixation Order 1938 (Serial Number 1938/128), which operated as from the Ist August, 1938, prescribed new rates. An increase of 7s. 6d. a week (to £2 12s. 6d.) was provided for workers of twenty-one years of age and upwards, with smaller increases for workers below that age. Where board and lodging is not provided by the employer an additional amount of £1 per week is payable to the worker. Power is given in section 20 of the Act to extend Part 111 (Special Provisions as to Employment on Dairy-farms), with modifications, to specified classes of agricultural workers, other than those employed on dairy-farms. The extent to which such extensions have been made is indicated by the following table, which gives details of the Extension Orders at present in operation.

Extension Orders.

For particulars as to the wages and conditions of employment of these agricultural workers reference should be made to the extension orders. .During the year complaints were received respecting 1,235 alleged breaches of the Act, and these resulted in 48 prosecutions and 548 warnings. Fines imposed amounted to £30. Apart from the above, inspections were made of 985 dairy-farms, 322 farms and stations, 129 market gardens, and 60 orchards, it being necessary in 348 instances to draw attention to failure to observe the statutory provisions. SHAREMILKING AGREEMENTS ACT, 1937. The object of the Act is to provide minimum standard terms and conditions for inclusion in share-milking agreements betwe«n share-milkers and farm-owners. Minimum standard terms and conditions which had been agreed to on behalf of the New Zealand Farmers' Union and the New Zealand Workers' Industrial Union of Workers are set out in the Schedule to the Act, but these are applicable only in those cases where the farm-owner provides the herd. Provision is made, however, for extending the provisions of the Act to other classes of share-milking agreements —for example, where the share-milker provides the herd —if standard terms and conditions have been agreed to by representative organizations of farm-owners and share-milkers. The provisions in the schedule may be revoked, varied, or added to by the Governor-General in Council by agreement of the organizations concerned. It may be mentioned here that a number of alterations to the Schedule have been agreed upon by the above organizations, and these amendments have been embodied in a new Schedule which has just been issued by Order in Council to operate from Ist July, 1939, the original Schedule to the Act, as mentioned above, being revoked accordingly. In the case of every share-milking agreement made between a farm-owner and a share-milker where the herd is owned or provided by the farm-owner, the agreement shall, on and after the Ist day of August, 1938, operate not less favourably for the share-milker in any respect than if the terms and conditions specified in the Schedule were incorporated in the agreement on that date, and any terms and conditions in the agreement that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Schedule shall, on and after the Ist day of August, 1938, or the date of the agreement, whichever is the later, be deemed to be null and void in so far as they would operate to the disadvantage of the share-milker. Without limiting any other remedies that a share-milker may have against the farm-owner, any Inspector under the Agricultural Workers Act, 1936, may, acting in the name and on behalf of the share-milker, take proceedings for the enforcement of the rights of the share-milker under any sharemilking agreement to which the Act applies. During the year numerous inquiries have been dealt with by the Department, particularly in the North Island, where share-milking agreements are more prevalent. A few complaints have been received in respect of breaches of the standard terms and conditions, but in most cases it has been possible to settle the difficulties by agreement of the parties, and it has not yet been necessary for the Department to take proceedings in any case. SCAFFOLDING AND EXCAVATION ACT. During the year 5,251 notices of intention to erect buildings and scaffoldings and to commence excavations were received (previous year 5,594), and 11,032 inspections were made. There were twenty-nine prosecutions, convictions being recorded in twenty-eight cases, and fines amounting to £40 being imposed. The number of accidents to workers during the year ended 31st December, 1938, was 214 (of which 6 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, such as faulty use of tools, falling objects, and errors of judgment.

If due regard is paid to the hazardous nature of the work due to height from the ground and the limited space for workers to operate, the number of accidents due to falls from scaffolds, ladders, or roofs is small —viz., 38. The number of accidents according to occupations were : Labourers, 101 ; carpenters, 74 ; steelworkers, 8 ; bricklayers, 4 ; joiners, 4 ; plasterers, 4-; unclassified, 19. Information as to time lost and compensation paid shows in regard to the cases in which details are available that a total of 4,369 days were lost and compensation to the amount of £7,286 13s. 7d. was paid. The following are particulars of the fatal accidents reported :— A labourer while wheeling concrete along a barrow-ran slipped and fell, sustaining serious back injuries, which later proved fatal. Proceedings were taken against the employer for failing to give notice of intention to commence building work incurring a risk of a fall of 12 ft. or more and for setting up a barrow-run two planks wide instead of not less than three planks wide as required by the Scaffolding Regulations, penalties being imposed on both charges. A carpenter working on a scaffold built round a hoist tower, for some unknown reason, put his head inside the tower and sustained fatal head injuries as a result of being struck by the descending hoist platform. A foreman engaged at the bottom of a sewerage excavation from 10 ft. to 12 ft. deep, was buried when the side of the excavation, which was not properly timbered, collapsed. The worker was dead when extricated two hours later. Proceedings were instituted against the employer and a penalty was imposed on him for failing to give notice of intention to make an excavation more than 5 ft. in depth. A steelworker engaged on the erection of an oil-tank overbalanced and fell 40 ft. to the bottom of the tank, sustaining fatal injuries. While a reinforced-concrete pile was being " stripped " to a certain level by means of explosives, a labourer who was over 100 yards away, was struck on the back of the head by a small piece of the concrete and sustained fatal injuries. A carpenter, while engaged in the construction of the roof of a building, accidentally stepped back and fell through the ceiling-joists, a distance of 10$-ft., to the ground. He struck his head on a concrete surround, sustaining injuries, which subsequently proved fatal. SERVANTS' REGISTRY OFFICES ACT. There are 78 offices registered in New Zealand (last year 92). No prosecutions were necessary during the year for breach of this statute, and the offices appear to be satisfactorily conducted. The number of offices registered has decreased from 110 for the year 1936-37 to 78 for the year 1938-39. FAIR RENTS ACT, 1936. This Act, the currency of which was extended by the Statutes Amendment Act, 1938, to 30th September, 1939, applies to dwellinghouses that are let at a rental not exceeding £156 a year. The Act (as amended by the Amendment Act, 1937), which binds the Crown and which does not apply to any dwellinghouse first let after the passing of the legislation (11th June, 1936), or to premises forming part of a building originally designed and constructed for the purpose of being let as more than two separate flats or apartments, prevents any increase in a tenants' rent during the tenancy except where a fair rent is determined in accordance with the Act. 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, 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 be 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. Section 63 of the Finance Act, 1937, contained special provisions relating to ejectment, and provided that the Court shall not make an order for ejectment where possession is sought on the grounds that an agreement for sale has been entered into, the purchaser

reasonably requiring the premises for his own occupation as a dwellinghouse, unless the Court is satisfied that suitable alternative accommodation is available for the tenant or will be available when the order takes effect; also that the Court shall not make an order where the premises are reasonably required by the landlord for his own occupation as a dwellinghouse or for occupation as a dwellinghouse by any person in the regular employment of the landlord unless it is satisfied that alternative accommodation is available as above or the hardship caused to the landlord or any other person by the refusal of the Court to make an order for possession or ejectment would exceed the hardship caused to the tenant by the making of such an order. The Court also has discretionary power to suspend any 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 total number of applications for the previous year was 6,381. The Department investigated twelve alleged breaches of section 15 of the Act, which imposes certain restrictions on the letting or selling of a dwellinghousc where the landlord has recovered possession on the grounds that the premises are required for his own occupation. Proceedings were taken in four instances, convictions being obtained in two cases, and penalties amounting to £6 were imposed. In the remaining cases it was considered that the circumstances did not justify proceedings. It might be mentioned that the above table does not fully indicate the extent of the work involved on the part of the Department's officers in the administration of the legislation. In numerous cases helpful advice is given to both landlords and tenants and in this way disputes between them are often avoided. It is particularly noticeable that a knowledge of the restrictions imposed by the Act is becoming more general, and landlords, before taking any action, inquire as to the position with the result that the Department in many cases is able to avoid Court proceedings. Statutes Amendment Act, 1938. Section 19 provides that it shall be deemed to be a condition of the tenancy of any dwellinghouse to which the Fair Rents Act, 1936, applies that the tenant shall afford to the landlord access thereto and all reasonable facilities for executing therein any repairs which the landlord is entitled to execute. FOOTWEAR REGULATION ACT. During the year 393 establishments and 1,240 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 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 .. .. •• •• •• •• 39,198 6,371 Measures .. .. • • • • • • • • 3,933 193 Weighing-instruments .. .. •• •• 25,547 3,684 Measuring-instruments .. .. .. • • 8,390 1, 658 77,068 11,906 There were also submitted for verification 853,720 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 prosecutions for various breaches under this Act, convictions being obtained in all cases, and fines amounting to £36 10s. being imposed. Verification fees earned totalled £10,437 9s. 9d. (previous year £9,761 ss. lid.).

During the year the following seventeen 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 .. 6 Personal weighing-machines .. .. .. .. .. .. 1 Automatic and semi-automatic machines .. .. .. 1 Wall beam steelyard machines .. .. .. .. .. 1 Measuring-capacity — Milk-products-measuring instruments .. .. . • . • 1 Petrol-measuring instruments .. .. .. • ■ .. 7 17 Of these, eleven were approved without alteration, three were approved after modification, and three were 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, four of the thirty prosecutions referred to above being in connection with the weight of bread and five relating to the sale of coal. INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE. The twenty-fourth session of the International Labour Conference met on the 2nd June, 1938, New Zealand being represented by a delegation consisting of two Government representatives, one employers' representative, and one workers' representative. Reports by members of the New Zealand delegation were presented to the Legislature this session. The twenty-fifth session opened on the Bth June, 1939, the following being the items on the agenda : — (i) Technical and vocational education and apprenticeship. (ii) Regulation of contracts of employment of indigenous workers. (iii) Recruiting, placing, and conditions of labour (equality of treatment) of migrant workers. (iv) Regulation of hours of work and rest periods of professional drivers (and their assistants) of vehicles engaged in road transport. *(v) Generalization of the reduction of hours of work. *(vi) Reduction of hours of work in coal mines. New Zealand is again represented by a delegation of four. * Discussion on these items was adjourned to a future conference on account of the unrest in Europe. Annual Reports on International Labour Office Conventions. The ratification of any International Labour Office Convention commits the ratifying Government to the forwarding of annual reports on the operation within the country concerned of each convention so ratified, so that it became necessary last year for New Zealand to forward reports on the operation of nine of the conventions listed as ratified in last year's report, the remaining thirteen not becoming due until 1939. Each report is required to cover such matters as : — (1) The legislation and administrative regulations in New Zealand which cover the terms of the Convention. (2) The means by which observance of the convention's provisions can be enforced. (3) The detailed provisions of legislation and administrative regulations under which each separate Article of the convention is applied. (4) The action taken for the application of the convention to New Zealand's protectorates and possessions. (5) The organization and working of inspection services designed to check whether the provisions of the convention are being complied with. (6) Any decisions by Courts of Law or other Courts regarding the application of the convention. (7) A general appreciation of the manner in which the convention is being applied. The nine annual reports sent forward last year covered the following conventions : — Convention No. 1 .. Convention limiting the hours of work in industrial undertakings. Convention No. 2 .. Convention concerning unemployment. Convention No. 9 .. Convention for establishing facilities for finding employment for seamen. Convention No. 11 .. Convention concerning the rights of association and combination for agricultural workers. Convention No. 12 .. Convention concerning workmen's compensation in agriculture. Convention No. 14 ..
