DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR (REPORT OF THE).

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

REPORT.

The Secretary, Department op Labour, to the Hon. the Minister op Labour. Sir,— Department of Labour, Wellington, 31st July, 194-1. I have the honour to present herewith the fiftieth 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, 1940, to 31st March, 1941. I have, &c., Henry E. Moston, The Hon. the Minister of Labour. Secretary of Labour.

EMPLOYMENT IN FACTORIES. Although the number of factories registered in the Dominion shows a decrease of 203 as compared with the previous year (the actual figures being—l 939-40, 18,141 factories ; 1940-41, 17,940 factories) the number of factory workers employed shows an increase of 3,419 over the preceding year. The increase in the number of factory workers since the war began is approximately 9,000, the principal trades showing increases in the number of workers being boot and shoe manufacturing, clothingmanufacturing, engineering, glass-manufacturing, meat freezing, paper-milling, tobacco and cigarette manufacturing, and woollen-milling. In some trades a slackening-off has occurred mainly due to short supply of materials. It is perhaps too early to draw definite conclusions as to the effect of the transfer of men to the armed forces and to the extent that women have replaced them. Employment in the motor and cycle engineering trades, which recorded an increase from 4,806 in 1933-34 to 8,399 in 1939-40, fell away to 7,258 in 1940-41. Apart from, the effect of rationing of petrol, withdrawal of men for Air Force units has probably affected this trade in greater ratio than others. With the necessity for greater production in several trades for war purposes shift-work for women has been introduced by emergency regulations, and similar provision has been made for male workers on certain essential war work where such provision had not been made in Awards of the Arbitration Court. These are dealt with under the heading " Industrial Emergency Council." The importance, in a time when expansion or replacement of plant and machines is a matter of difficulty or impossibility, of the fuller utilization of equipment and buildings possible under a shift system has not been generally appreciated. Overtime worked in factories during the year discloses a considerable increase. The Industrial Emergency Council recommended, and this was adopted, an extension of the overtime permitted for women and boys in factories. The Department's information regarding overtime in factories is

restricted to women and boys, and indicates an increase from 950,000 hours in 1939 to 1,240,000 hours in 1940, the figures for the combined clothing-manufacturing and woollen-milling industries being— 1939, 476,700 ; and 1940, 655,400 hours. The figures so far obtained for the present year indicate a still greater increase. Although, as stated, figures are not available in respect of male adult workers it may be safely assumed that these workers are employed an equal, if not greater, number of overtime hours. Some indication of the endeavour being made to train workers for essential war industries will be found later in this report.

FACTORIES ACT.

The figures as to the number of factories and workers employed therein do not purport to coincide with those of the Government Statistician (annual statistics of factory production), as his returns do not cover various small establishments that are included as factories under the Factories Act. 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. Thus the figures shown for 1940-41 chiefly represent the numbers in April, 1940. The reduction in the number of factories registered is explained by a number of small factories ceasing business, probably owing to difficulties of supply and labour or because the occupiers have joined the armed forces. In 1936 the legislation respecting work done elsewhere than in the factory was revised and the licensing of persons employed to do such work was provided for. These provisions apply only to work in connection with textile or shoddy material, but there is provision whereby the Act may be extended to work in connection with other materials. Licenses issued since the legislation was passed have been 1936-37, 2 ; 1937-38, 88 ; 1938-39, 42 ; 1939-40, 47 ; 1940-41, 126. Accidents. In order that they may be comparable with the statistics of other countries, the figures cover the calendar year 1940. The total number of reported accidents to workers in factories during that period (preliminary figures only) was 5,420 (5,055 males and 365 females). Of the total number, 162 of the accidents occurred to workers under sixteen years of age, 1,001 to those between sixteen and twenty, and the remaining 4,257 to those above that age. Of the 6 fatal accidents, 4 were caused by or were due to machinery. Of the total accidents, 784 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.), 199 ; stepping on or striking against fixed objects, 335 ; faulty handling of tools, 1,181; handling of other objects (viz., objects dropped or tipped over, objects falling, or strain due to handling), 1,880; handling of poisonous and corrosive substances, 121; others (miscellaneous), 920; total, 5,420. Disability caused: Temporary disability, 5,303; permanent partial disability, 111. Fatalities, 6. Information in respect of time lost in 5,224 cases shows that a total of 97,626 days were lost, or an average of 18-7 days for each worker. The total amount of compensation paid in the 5,329 cases in respect of which the details have been secured was £77,393 7s. Bd. The following particulars are given of the fatal accidents that occurred during the year : — A digester in a meat-freezing works was being cleaned with boiling water by two workers, one of whom, presumably thinking that the water had drained out of the drain port, released the safetycatch on the door. He was severely scalded by the water which rushed out. Subsequent examination indicated that the worker had not opened the drain port sufficiently to allow the digester to empty properly. A worker on a stone-crushing plant, whilst trying to free a boulder which had become jammed, was struck on the throat by a piece of stone. Workers had instructions that in the event of the crusher becoming jammed the machine was to bo stopped and the employer sent for.

A worker in a meat-freezing works slipped into a trough of hot water which had been lef uncovered. He was severely scalded, and died three days later. A worker in a flock-factory suffered injuries as the result of an explosion that occurred while he was testing a rag-teasing machine which had just been converted so as to be suitable for flax and sacking pulping. While passing from the milling-room to a grain-store through a doorway fitted with a concrete sloping runway a worker slipped and struck the back of his head on the floor. A worker on the breaking-down bench at a sawmill came into contact with a saw under circumstances which, owing to the absence of eye witnesses, are not known. He suffered a severe cut across the back which almost severed the spinal column, and died without regaining consciousness. The saw was adequately guarded. Inspections, etc. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 13,678 were made. Complaints were received respecting 376 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 12 prosecutions and 208 warnings. In 98 cases investigation showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Eight prosecutions were instituted for breaches which were discovered by Inspectors, and warnings were given in other cases, being either first offences or of a minor nature. Convictions were secured in 14 of the 20 prosecutions ; the fines totalled £24 10s. No case calls for comment. There were 623 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, lighting, 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. The Factories Act, 1921—22j provides that a boy or girl under sixteen years of age shall not be employed in any factory unless the occupier holds from the Inspector a certificate of fitness relating to the boy or girl. Certificates to the number of 4,199 (previous year, 4,54-6) were issued during the year (boys 2,119 and girls 2,080). Of the certificates issued, 187 were for boys and 253 for girls under fourteen years of age, while the industries principally affected were —Biscuit and confectionery manufacturing ; boot, shoe, and slipper manufacturing ; clothing-manufacturing; engineering and metal trades ; furniture-manufacturing ; printing and bookbinding, &c. ; woollen-milling, &c. Lead Processes. In last year's report mention was made of proposed regulations to cover lead processes in factories where electric accumulators are manufactured. These were issued as the Accumulator (Lead Process) Regulations 1940 (Serial number 1940/212). Inspections under these regulations and the Spray Painting Regulations 1940 are proceeding, and Inspectors report that, due to difficulties in securing supplies for ventilating-apparatus, progress on the part of employers is not all that could be desired. As the result of 101 inspections in the Wellington metropolitan area between July, 1940, and March, 1941, alterations were required in 23 cases, new booths were required in 23 cases, while only 7 booths, other than those dealing only with hand polishing, were satisfactory. 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 29,607 shops throughout New Zealand, of which 14,551 (approximately one-half) were carried on without assistants. In the shops with assistants it is estimated there were employed 26,718 males and 26,743 females. During the year visits of inspection of shops to the number of 20,345 were made. The Department also made 1,712 visits of inspection of offices, but the information so far available is insufficient to enable it to make an accurate estimate regarding the number of offices in the Dominion and of assistants employed therein. Prosecutions numbered 203 (employers, 195 ; workers, 8) ; convictions were obtained in 192 cases. A number of cases were withdrawn ; fines totalled £191 6s. Of the prosecutions, 126 were for offences regarding the closing-hours of shops in the evenings or on the statutory half-holiday. Complaints were received respecting 492 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 99 prosecutions and 237 warnings. In 133 cases investigations showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. One hundred and 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 fifty-eight requisitions were served on occupiers of shops to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for sanitary conveniences, heating-appliances, lunch-rooms, seating or rest-room accommodation, lighting, ventilation, cleanliness, and partitions, including separate entrances.

Retail Hours for oil-j?uel Establishments The regulations of April, 1940 (see 1940 report), which enabled the Minister to issue directions as to the hours that establishments engaged in the sale by retail of oil fuel be opened and closed were replaced by the Oil Fuel Retail Hours Emergency Regulations (No. 2) 1940 (Serial number 1940/327). Closing-orders may be issued by the Minister of Labour on receipt of a requisition in writing signed by not less than two-thirds of the sellers by retail of oil fuel in any area or locality, and he may also exempt any premises from the closing provisions to ensure supplies being available at the normal retail price. The principal variations provided for in the new regulations are the introduction of requirements as to advertising so that persons affected may have notice of the proposals, also the establishment of a right of appeal for total or partial exemption from the provisions of any closingorder on the grounds of undue hardship. The number of orders made to 30th April, 1941, under these regulations is twenty-six, and the number actually in operation is twenty-three. The areas covered by orders include the four main centres and the secondary towns of Rotorua, Tauranga, Napier, Hastings, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Timaru, and Invercargill. Lower Hutt and Petone are included in the Wellington area. A number of the smaller centres and country districts are also covered. The hours of operation for oil-fuel establishments are, generally speaking, from 7.30 or 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (in Christchurch, 7 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.). In the cities and larger centres provision is made for the exemption of one or more establishments which are, by virtue of their having been exempted, required by the regulations to provide a continuous service. In some of the smaller centres the orders provide for service stations to rotate in order that one station shall remain open after hours to provide urgent requirements ; in others urgent supplies may be obtained on the written authority of a police-officer. Universal Half-holiday. In those districts where the half-holiday for shops is fixed by resolution of the local authority (or in the absence of a resolution by decision of the Minister of Labour) the days fixed in 1941 were— mid-week holiday, 47 urban districts and 86 rural districts (previous year 49 and 88), and Saturday holiday, 110 urban districts and 51 rural districts (previous year 104 and 50). There were four half-holiday polls in connection with the 1941 local-body elections, the results being for a mid-week holiday one and for a Saturday holiday three, the days previously observed being all mid-week. Of the polls taken to date twenty-four have been in favour of a mid-week holiday and sixty-three in favour of a Saturday holiday. Haibdressing Schools, Consequent upon the provision contained in the Shops and. Offices Amendment Act, 1936, prohibiting the payment of premiums by or in respect of shop-assistants or learners unless the shop is approved as a school for learners in a trade or business by the Chief Inspector of Factories, and the payment is made pursuant to a written agreement approved by the Chief Inspector, the following summary of the number of schools, and the number of agreements approved is given : — Schools Agreements approved. approved. 1936-37 .. .. .. .. .. ..14 10 1937-38 .. .. .. .. .. .. 17 35 1938-39 .. .. .. .. .. .. 8 116 1939-40.. .. .. .. .. ..15 111 1940-41 .. .. .. .. .. ..24 118 78 390 Of the 78 approved, 36 have allowed their approvals to lapse.

Inspections, etc. During the year 6,127 complaints of alleged breaches of the Act and of awards and industrial agreements, &c., were received, but it was found on investigation that in 1,709 cases no breach had been committed. In 334 cases proceedings were taken, and in 3,418 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, 74 prosecutions were taken, and warnings were given in other cases. Of the 408 prosecutions, 350 were against employers and 58 against workers ; 253 convictions were recorded, 221 against employers and 32 against workers. Total penalties, £366 lis.

Registration of Industrial Associations and Unions. The usual statutory return (to 31st December, 1940) giving a list of associations and unions on the register at that date, together with the membership thereto, is appended hereto. Employers unions number 269, as against 264 last year (an increase of 5), with a total membership of 11,169, compared with 9,893 last year (an. increase of 1,276), 5 new unions being registered. Workers' unions number 432, compared with 442 last year (a decrease of 10), with a total membership of 248,081, as against 254,664 (a decrease of 6,583). New registrations totalled 12 and cancellations 22. Industrial Disturbances during the Year. There were 49 industrial disturbances during the year, compared with 70 last year and 68 the year before. These absences involved lost time equivalent to 24,082 working-days, compared with 43,776 working-days lost the previous year. Of these disturbances, 20 were in the mining industry, 7 in the shipping and waterfront industry, and 12 in the freezing industry. To facilitate the settlement of industrial disputes, the Minister of Labour was given power, under the Strike and Lockout Emergency Regulations 1939 (Serial number 1939/204), to set up an Emergency Disputes Committee. Following is a summary of the matters so far dealt with under this authority : — Details of the Denniston coal-miners' case were included in last year's report. Some employees of a Woolpack and Flax Textile Factory in Foxton were absent upon resumption of activities after the Christmas vacation, 1939, and were dismissed. One of the workers dismissed had been a witness in proceedings for a new award in the previous November, and it was alleged that he had been victimized. The Committee decided, in view of the previous attitude to irregular attendance and the absence of award provisions as to notice of termination of employment, that the management employ those workers who had offered themselves for employment since the holiday period and were still available for work. Because of demands for increased remuneration the oyster fleet in. the Bluff was idle for a week during March, 1940. These demands were partly conceded, but the payment to be made to boatmen involving questions of the method of box or sack measurement was in abeyance until the appointment of an Emergency Disputes Committee, the decision of which appears in Book of Awards, Vol. XL, page 618. This decision did not entirely dispose of the matter, for in February, 1941, a further dispute occurred concerning the size and method of filling sacks. The Emergency Disputes Committee again dealt with this, the decision being recorded in Book of Awards, Vol. XLI, page 209. Tramway transport in Auckland was disrupted from 30fch April, 1940, until 3rd May, 1940, when normal running was resumed, the disruption arising out of a demand for a cost-of-living increase not being met. The Emergency Disputes Committee found that the increase was provided for by the agreement under which the men were working, and decided that wages be increased by 8 per cent, from Ist April, 1940. Because of this increase exemptions from the general order pursuant to the Rates of Wages Emergency Regulations 1940 were granted (see Book of Awards, Vol. XL, pages 1551 and 1567). In September, 1940, employees of a Westland gold dredge decided to discontinue working on Sundays until demands for wage-increase, an eight-hour-maximum day on Sundays, alteration of overtime rates, introduction of fortnightly pays, and a rearrangement of shifts were conceded. While this dispute was still unsettled the men were dismissed for refusing to work on the King's birthday, which was observed on 26th November, 1940. This matter was referred to an Emergency Disputes Committee, which decided that the men were entitled, under the award, to observe King's birthday as a non-working day, that the employers were wrong in terminating the contracts of service, and that the employers should pay for time lost during the first two days of the stoppage, it being considered that work should have been resumed then following an assurance by the Minister of Labour that the Committe would deal with the matter. Approximately 300 out of 500 employees of a Wellington tobacco-manufacturer ceased work for eight days because of the dismissal of a worker who at the time of his dismissal was an executive member of the industrial union, it being alleged that his dismissal was because of his union activities. Following resumption of work an Emergency Disputes Committee sat, the decision being that the worker was dismissed constitutionally in accordance with the provisions of the award and. not because of his activities on behalf of his union. Arising out of this cessation of work cancellation powers contained in the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1939, were exerciscd. (see New Zealand Gazette of 12th November, 1940). This constitutes the second occasion on which these powers have been used, the first occasion being in connection with the Otahuhu Chemical-manure Workers Industrial Union of Workers in July, 1939. The general order of the Court of Arbitration, pursuant to an application in terms of the Rates of Wages Emergency Regulations 1940, increased, by 5 per cent, all rates of remuneration payable under awards, &c. Piece-workers in the Martha Gold-mine claimed this increase, but the employers declined to grant it as the rates of pay were not specified in the award. During the discussions it appeared that the management desired to effect increases in charges for explosives because of rising costs. The decision of the Committee provided for the payment of a 5-per-cent. cost-of-living bonus calculated on the net earning of the workers over the various four-weekly periods, also for increases up to 5 per cent, on the charges for explosives where landed cost has increased. Dissatisfaction with contract rates arose at the Blackwater Mines. Employment for a period subsequently was on day-wages, and, it being the opinion of the employer that "go slow " was in operation, one man, who had been warned previously, was dismissed. The miners then discontinued employment, but resumed on the understanding that an Emergency Disputes -Committee would, investigate the matter. It was decided by the committee that the employer had reasonable grounds for the dismissal, but it was ordered in the special circumstances that he be re-employed, the employer to have the right of dismissal should his work prove unsatisfactory.

H.—ll,

A stoppage of work involving 184 workers occurred at a Canterbury freezing-works owing to an objection bv the workers to the transfer to No. 1 chain of certain workers from No. 2 chain, employment of which was being discontinued with the approach of the cessation of the killing-season. Work was resumed on the understanding that an Emergency Disputes Committee would be appointed. The decision of this committee provided that when a chain is put off owing to slackness a list of the men selected by the management to man the remaining chain shall be made available to union delegates, the management to give consideration to representations made by the delegates. This decision, nevertheless, was not to prejudice the right of the management to engage and dismiss workers as it thinks lit. 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 lockout of workers or employers may take place where there is no agreement or award in force under tne 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 cf striking or locking-out. After the expiration of seven days following the notification of the result of the ballot the parties may strike or lockout. 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 nine 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. Nine agreements were in force on 31st March, 194-1. 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 to have such powers as may be delegated to them by the Court. At present there are some 129 Committees functioning throughout the Dominion, although some of these are not very actively operating. One hundred and fifty-seven special inspections were made under this Act during 1940-41, and, in addition, inspections were carried out in the course of ordinary inspection- and investigation work and. while visiting factories, (fee., in. connection with other duties. Complaints were received regarding 201 alleged breaches of the Act, while 287 other breaches were discovered by the Department's Inspectors, 310 warning being issued. There were twenty-eight 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 £53 16s. being imposed. With six exceptions, the prosecutions were against employers. The following table'gives the approximate number of apprentices in the trades to which the Act now applies : —

The number of new contracts registered for the year ended 31st March, 1941, was 1,974, and is a reduction of 866 on the previous year. Of this a reduction of 349 occurred in trades associated with motor-vehicle building or repairing and a reduction of 329 in trades associated with the building industry. The number of new apprentices €o the carpentering and joinery trade was increased considerably from 1937, partly as a result of the expanded building activity and partly because of special efforts made to provide additional workers in this industry. Figures for two or three years past have therefore been somewhat larger than normal. Details are : 1934-35, 95 ; 1935-36, 165 ; 1936-37,278; 1937-38,475; 1938-39, 511 ; 1939-40,510; 1940-41,273. Pursuant to the Suspension of Apprenticeship Emergency Regulations 1939 (Serial number 1939/154), contracts of apprenticeship are suspended during the currency of service with the armed forces. An unknown number of the contracts recorded above are presumably suspended pursuant to this provision. To overcome the difficulty of the proportion of apprentices to journeymen an amendment to the regulations (Serial number 1940/208) enables the Industrial Emergency Council, in its discretion, to authorize the engagement of another apprentice in substitution for the apprentice whose contract is suspended, even though such engagement infringes the proportion clause. This same amendment regularizes the arrangements referred to in the last report regarding the crediting of trade experience secured while in the armed forces. During the year ended 31st March, 1941, the Industrial Emergency Council dealt with 45 applications to employ apprentices in excess of the proportion, approval being given in 44 cases. ARREARS OF WAGES. Amounts totalling £17,183 os. 3d. (last yeaf £25,008 Bs. 7d.) 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 £17,915 14s. 9d. (last year £24,864 9s. 2d.) were paid by employers at the instance of the Inspectors directly to the workers concerned : total, £35,098 15s. (last year £49,872 17s. 9d.). Several statutes empower the Inspector of Factories, acting in the name and on behalf of the person entitled to payment, to take civil proceedings for the recovery of wages due. Inspectors took seventy-seven such cases during 1940-41, judgments being secured to the amount of £379 7s. 3d. WAGES PROTECTION AND CONTRACTORS' LIENS ACT. Under the 1908 Act the employer or contractor had a duty to retain in his hands one-fourth part of the money payable under the contract, a duty that had been interpreted by the Courts as meaning one-fourth of the money immediately payable. A section in the Statutes Amendment Act, 1940, makes it clear that under the 1939 Act the duty is to retain one-fourth of so much of the contract price as has for the time being become immediately payable or as would be so payable but for a provision inserted in the contract or sub-contract to secure its retention in conformity with the Act. The wording of the 1939 Act could have been construed as imposing a duty at all times to retain one-fourth part of the contract price, thus restricting considerably the amount payable as " progress payments." WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT. A section in the Statutes Amendment Act, .1940, brought the New Zealand Workers' Compensation Act, 1922, into lino with the English law, as it has existed since 1923, in respect of fatal or serious accidents where the worker at the time of the accident was, while acting for the purposes of and in connection with his employer's trade or business, nevertheless acting in contravention of any statute or of any statutory or other regulation applicable to his employment or of any orders given by or on behalf of his employer, or without instructions from his employer. Such an accident is novv deemed to have arisen out of and in the course of the employment. Another section gives to the Warden, where an injured miner who elects to take proceedings for damages in the Wardens' Court constituted under the Mining Act, 1926, fails on his claims, the same jurisdiction as the Supreme Court or a Magistrate in similar circumstances to award compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act, 1922. During the year 143 cases were heard and determined by the Comepnsation Court (previous year 71). Orders in Council have been issued as follows declaring diseases to be within the operation of the Act:— 3rd April, 1940 .. Cyanide rash. 19th February, 1941.. Epitheliomatous cancer, or ulceration of the skin, due to tar, pitch, bitumen, mineral oil or paraffin, or any compound, product, or residue of any of these substances. Ulceration of the corneal surface of the eye, due to tar, pitch, bitumen, mineral oil or paraffin, or other compound, product, or residue of any of these substances, 3rd July, 1941 •, Miners' mineral rash,

AGRICULTURAL WORKERS ACT, 1936, AND SHEARERS' ACCOMMODATION ACT, 1919. There was no variation of the Agricultural Workers Act, 1936, or of the extension orders under it during the financial year ended 31st March, 1941. During the year complaints were received respecting 752 alleged breaches of the Act, and these resulted in 19 prosecutions and 407 warnings. There were 10 other prosecutions (total 29). Fines imposed amounted to £25 7s. Apart from the above, inspections were made of 468 dairy-farms, 50 farms and stations, 74 market gardens, hop-gardens, or tobacco-gardens, and 232 orchards, it being necessary in 95 instances to draw attantion to failure to observe the statutory provisions. Inspections of accommodation were also made as follows : Farm workers, 153 ; dairy-farms, 374 ; shearers, 186. SHARE-MILKING AGREEMENTS ACT, 1937. Minimum standard terms and conditions are applicable to every share-milking agreement where the farmowner provides the herd. These conditions are contained in the Share-milking Agreements Order 1939 (Serial number 1939/86), which was in substitution for the Schedule to the Act. A share-milker's rights under the terms of his agreement are supplemented by the power given to the Inspector of Factories who, acting .in the name and on behalf of the share-milker, may take proceedings for the enforcement of the rights of a share-milker under any share-milking agreement to which the Act applies. It has been necessary for the Department to resort to Court proceedings once only since the measure was enacted, and these proceedings, which were during the period covered by this report, were withdrawn following a satisfactory settlement out of Court. During the year the number of inquiries received has shown an increase, but the number of complaints remains small. Share-milking is practised chiefly in the North Island. SCAFFOLDING AND EXCAVATION ACT. During the year 5,206 notices of intention to erect buildings and scaffoldings and to commence excavations were received (previous year 5,546), and 8,488 inspections were made. There were twenty-three prosecutions, convictions being recorded in twenty cases, and fines amounting to £37 being imposed. Preliminary figures for the number of accidents to workers during the year ended 31st December, 1940, are 276 (of which 4 were fatal). It should be mentioned that the total includes not only accidents to workers on scaffolding or in connection with gear or excavation, 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 duo to height from the ground and the limited space for workers to operate, the numbers of accidents due to falls from scaffolds, ladders, or roofs is small —viz., 58. The number of accidents according to occupations were : Labourers, 115 ; carpenters and joiners, 11'4 ; steelworkers, 8 ; painters and signwriters, 5 ; electrical engineers, 5 ; others, 29. Information as to time lost and compensation paid shows in regard to the cases in which details are available that a total of 5,357 days were lost and compensation to the amount of £5,670 12s. 6d. was paid. The following are particulars of the fatal accidents reported : — A painter fell from a plank at a height of 5 ft. 9 in. and fractured his skull. While engaged on bridge work a labourer slipped and fell into the stream below. During roof-repairing operations a carpenter fell 15 ft. to the floor when a purlin on which he was standing pulled away from a rafter. As a result of overbalancing while hosing out concrete boxing a labourer fell 15 ft. on to a concrete floor, and suffered head injuries. SERVANTS' REGISTRY OFFICES ACT. There are 52 offices registered in Nev Zealand (last year 67). Four warnings were necessary during the year for breach of this statute. FAIR RENTS ACT, 1936. The shortage of housing rendered necessary the continuance in operation of the Fair Rents Act, 1936, for a further year to the 30th September, 1941, this being effected by the Statutes Amendment Act, 1940, which also amended the definition of dwellinghouse by deleting the reference to " attendance "in paragraph (a) of section 2of the principal Act. The number of cases calling for intervention by the Department's officers varies from town to town, but a comparison indicates that the protection afforded under the Act is availed of by tenants to a degree bearing a marked relation to the acuteness of the housing shortage as disclosed by the results of the Housing Survey.

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 applicants for the previous year was 6,059. The Department investigated 11 alleged breaches of section 15 of the Act, which imposes certain restrictions on the letting or selling of a dwell in ghouse where the landlord has recovered possession on the grounds that the premises are required for his own occupation ; proceedings were taken in 11 instances, convictions being obtained in 8 cases, and penalties amounting to £68 12s. were imposed. FOOTWEAR REGULATION ACT. During the year 271 establishments and 161 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. Inspectors of Footwear also examined footwear made for the Defence Services. 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 47,839 7,253 Measures .. .. .. .. .. .. 3,682 177 Weighing-instruments.. .. .. .. .. 26,820 3,198 Measuring-instruments .. .. .. .. 7,020 1,216 There were also submitted for verification 796,183 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. Each shop inspection included an examination to ascertain that requirements as to reverification have been satisfied, and, in addition, surprise tests of appliances on the owners' premises were made. Inspections were also made covering the regulation requirements as to net weight and standard weight of packages, and the sale of firewood, coke, and coal, also the provisions relating to the weight of bread, including those contained in the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, 1908. Complaints were received respecting 57 alleged breaches of the Act. As a result of the investigation of these and of the check inspections referred to above 32 prosecutions were instituted, fines amounting to £73 10s. being imposed. Of the prosecutions, 12 were in connection with shortweight bread. Prosecutions in connection with short-weight bread have illustrated the necessity for revision of the law. It is an offence under the Weights and Measures Act, 1925, to sell less than the quantity demanded of or represented by the seller, while under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, 1908, every person commits an offence who sells any bread the weight of which at the time of sale is less than the seller represents it to be, or is less than the weight which the buyer demands. The Sale of Food and Drugs Act, 1908, also provides that every person who sells any loaf weighing at the time of sale less than 4 lb. but more than 3 lb. shall be deemed to represent that it weighs 4 lb. unless he states its true weight to the buyer at the time of sale. In a similar way a loaf that is less than 2 lb. but more than 1 lb. is deemed to be represented to be 2 lb. unless the true weight is disclosed. When this measure was enacted loaves of 2 lb. or 4 lb. were the rule, but in recent years loaves of 1 lb. or less, including loaves of many types and shapes, have been offered in increasing quantities. Because of the variation in the shape of certain loaves, which may involve some slight increase in the cost of baking, many bakers have contended that these loaves are classed as " fancy bread," and thus exempt from the standard-weight provisions. There appears to be no proper grounds to treat any bread of ordinary composition as outside the standard class by reason of any alteration in shape. The

fundamental grounds for special treatment in respect of weight of bread should be that bread should be standard weight unless obviously and analytically different from ordinary bread and whereby reason of the ingredients and/or process of baking the cost of production is increased to such ail extent as to warrant special treatment in regard #o weight. During the year 5 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. : — WeighingPlatform machines (non-self-indicating) .. I Platform machines (personal weigher self-indicating) .. 1 Semi-self-indicating counter scale .. .. 1 Semi automatic (factory use) .. .. .. 1 Measuring-capacity— Lubricating-oil-measuring instrument .. .. 1 5 Of these, 3 wete improvements in existing designs, 1 was approved without alteration, and 1 was approved after modification. INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE. The twenty-sixth session of the International Labour Conference, which was convened for the sth June, 1940, was postponed in view of the European situation, it being the expressed intention of the governing body that the session be held at a later date that year. However, no decision has been taken in this connection, though discussions are still proceeding. Events in Europe subsequent to May, 1940, when the postponement decision was taken, rendered necessary the establishment of a working centre outside Geneva, and by courtesy of the Canadian Government the transfer of selected personnel to the McGill University, Montreal, Canada, was effected. Work in Montreal is stated to be well under way, though necessarily on a restricted scale due to staff and budget reductions, but research work has been resumed and publications are being issued. As it was impossible to transfer the library from Geneva it has been necessary for the Department to endeavour to supply duplicates of those New Zealand publications that had been sent to the Office in previous years. Ratification of twenty-two conventions was undertaken by New Zealand in March, 1938, and in September, 1939, ratification of Convention No. 63 concerning Statistics of Wages and Hours of Work adopted by the twenty-fourth session of the International Labour Conference was undertaken. Since then a number of further conventions have been adopted, and it is appropriate that at any rate as soon as normal conditions return consideration be given to the question of ratification of these and also of those conventions which were not included in the ratification instrument of 1938 because of existing variation between New Zealand law and convention requirements or doubt relative thereto. Full reports have been forwarded to the organization on the application of conventions already ratified. EMERGENCY REGULATIONS. Industrial Emergency Council. The Council, which consists of nine representatives of workers and nine representatives of employers, with the Minister of Labour as Chairman, was set up under the Industrial Emergency Council Regulations 1939 (Serial number 1939/66) to inquire into and advise the Minister on any matters arising out of the war emergency and pertaining to his office. There are two sub-committees of the Council—the hours sub-committee and the apprenticeship sub-committee —and a form of procedure has been laid down for adoption where variation of statutory or award provisions is requested. This contemplates full discussion of proposals between employers' and workers' organizations before reference to the Government. Liaison with other emergency bodies is maintained by representation of the Council on the National Service Advisory Council and the National Council of Primary Production. As a result of recommendations, the unanimous decision of the Council, suspension or variation orders have been made in the following industries : — Ammunition-manufacturing: Woollen-milling: Clothing trades : Timber industry (Te Whaiti Mills), also butter-box manufacturing : Cement and asbestos manufacturing : Slipper-manufacturing : Brushware-manufacturing : Defence and emergency works : Shearing industry: Tinsmithing (dairy industry) : Tanning industry : Retail chemists : Cheese-factories. Among the important variations recommended by the Council are those which cover the extension of overtime in factories, additional apprentices to replace those withdrawn for military service, occupational re-establishment of men on return from war service, and Works Efficiency Committees in freezing-works.

Training of Workers. Under the Auxiliary Workers Training Emergency Regulations 1941 (Serial number 1941/23) a Dominion Council representative of workers arj.fi employers and Government Departments has been established to supervise training arrangements. Schemes have been introduced in connection with the engineering and footwear trades, use being made of technical-school facilities. These schemes envisage a relatively short period of intensive full-time training, generally sixteen weeks, for selected workers who have preferably some previous knowledge of the industry. In each trade and town where schemes have been introduced local councils, also representative as above, have been constituted to supervise the administration of the scheme, while for the footwear trade in Auckland a special trade school, also controlled by a representative committee, has been established. As at July, 1941, 97 workers had been trained and placed in the engineering industry, while another 125 were in course of training. In the footwear trade 60 workers were in course of training, 40 of these being in the special trade school referred to above. The scheme is being extended to other industries as for instance the carpentering and joining. Waterfront Control Commission. * Following the establishment of the Waterfront Control Commission under Emergency Regulations (Serial numbers 1940/59 and 1940/109), and as mentioned in last year's annual report, the New Zealand Waterside Workers' award, also certain sections of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1925, were suspended. In substitution for the award an order of the Commission was issued on 6th June, 1940, fixing remuneration and conditions for waterside workers. Subsequent variations of the rates of remuneration were effected, as, for instance, an increase of 5 per cent, in rates of remuneration in line with the increase in wages fixed by the Court of. Arbitration for workers whose rates of remuneration were fixed by awards and industrial agreements. A separate report will be submitted by the Commission. Occupational Re-establishment. The Occupational Re-establishment Emergency Regulations 1940 (Serial number 1940/291) replaced those referred to in the last report, the main alterations effected by the new regulations being : — The obligation of reinstatement is placed on the employer by whom the worker was employed immediately prior to his offering himself or to his being called up for military service. The obligation is made applicable only to those employees who had been employed for at least four weeks immediately prior to their offering themselves for military service or to their being called up for military service. Provision is made that on reinstatement the employer shall not be entitled to dismiss any reinstated person within six months after such reinstatement, but in any proceedings for an offence in this connection it is a defence, to the employer if he proves that the employee concerned was dismissed for a reason not connected with the obligations imposed on the employer under Regulation 5_ The 1939 Regulations made it an offence for any person to terminate the employemnt of any employee for the purpose of evading or attempting to evade any obligation under the regulations or in the expectancy that the employee will or may be accepted for service in His Majesty's Forces. This did not, however, make it ail offence for an employer" to dismiss a worker after he has been accepted for service, but before he actually takes up his duties with the Forces. In the 1940 Regulations an alteration was made to cover cases such as those referred to (vide Regulation 8). A regulation was inserted embodying a decision of the Industrial Emergency Council to the effect that where more than one worker is eligible for reinstatement in a particular job the order of priority shall be the order in which they were released, but as the employer will subsequently be required to retain any reinstated person for not less than six months it is provided that when one such person has been reinstated the right of his successors to reinstatement shall forthwith lapse. A regulation was also inserted to provide that where an employee other than an apprentice is called up for military training—i.e., territorial training—as distinct from military service, the period of such training up to a maximum of six months in any year is to be regarded as time served under his contract of service in civil employment for the purposes of increments and annual holidays ; but during any period of absence from employment during training the parties are relieved of their obligations relating to payment of remuneration, performance of work, &c. Enforcement Action for other Departments. Inspectors of Factories are associated with the enforcement of the Price Stabilization Emergency Regulations 1939 (Serial number 1939/122) and the Citrus Fruit Regulations 1940 (Serial number 1940/51), this being undertaken in conjunction with shop-inspection activities. One thousand one hundred and forty-eight special inspections were carried out, and as a result of the Inspectors' activities 42 prosecutions were taken, involving fines amounting to £47 15s.
