1. INTRODUCTION Last year the Commission published a report covering its activities from date of first report —viz., 31st March, 1941—until 31st March, 1945, and comprehensive tables covering full particulars of its operations during the five-year period 1940-45 were also included in the report. The tables published this year will show the cumulative position for the five-year period for each class, of contract and details of operations during the year ending 31st March, 1946. The Commission intended publishing in its report this year full particulars showing costs of handling cargo during the past three years, but, due to restriction in size of report, this is not possible. The information will be printed later as an Appendix to the report. 2. MEASURES TAKEN TO EXPEDITE DESPATCH OF SHIPPING Published in the Appendix (page 60) is a table showing the reduction effected in the time spent on the New Zealand coast by overseas vessels. From a perusal of this table it will be seen that overseas vessels were turned round during the year ended 31st March, 1946, on an average of approximately 20 days, as against an average of 17| days during the year ended 31st March, 1945, and as against the pre-war average of 35f days. The additional 2£ days taken last year was due to the cancellation of shift-work and extended hours (Sundays and holidays) in September, 1945. Notwithstanding this reduction in hours, overseas vessels were turned round in approximately 15f days quicker than pre-war, and it is estimated that the saving can be attibuted as follows : (a) Centralization of shipping at main ports .. .. .. 7 days (b) Speedier work under contract system .. .. .. .. 5 days (e) Working shifts, Sundays and holidays (half of year only) .. .. 3f days Total 15f days (a) CENTRALIZATION OF SHIPPING The policy of the British Ministry of War Transport for the centralization of cargo handling operations at the main ports was continued during the year, and as a result overseas vessels visited an average of only 2-14 ports, as against the pre-war average of 6-13 ports, and previous year's average of 2-5 ports. The number of vessels which arrived in ballast for loading only was much greater than normal and had the effect of reducing the average number of ports visited per vessel. (Ib) WORKING " ROUND THE CLOCK " AND SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS Following repeated requests from the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union for a reduction of hours of work on the waterfront, a conference of all interested parties (including representatives of British Ministry of War Transport) was held in July, 1945, and the Commission decided at the four main ports to restrict shift and extended hours (Sundays and holidays) work to overseas food vessels, overseas vessels carrying military supplies, vessels discharging coal, and feeder vessels. A further conference was held in September, 1945, when, by agreement with the British Ministry of War Transport, the working of shifts and extended hours was cancelled at the four main ports, and this decision was extended to other ports in November, 1945. The following vessels are, however, still required to work on Sundays and holidays : (1) All vessels discharging and loading at ports of Westport and Grey mouth. (2) Vessels discharging coal at all ports.

H—4s

While both companies and the union are anxious to cancel Sunday and holiday work, the Commission is of the opinion that during the present urgent need for coal and timber vessels carrying these commodities should continue to work extended hours. (c) CO-OPERATIVE CONTRACTING Summarized below is a statement showing value and tonnages handled under contract during the last two years, and total to 31st March, 1946 :

It will be seen that the total value and tonnage of contracts have increased during the year, and the total value of contracts handled to 31st March, 1946, was nearly £9,000,000, comprising over 22,000,000 tons of cargo. (i) Rates of Work Overseas Vessels.—The overall rate of loading overseas vessels increased slightly during the year and is also above the cumulative average for years 1940-45. The rate of handling wool increased from 78 bales for the five-year period to 82 bales this year. Butter increased from 659 boxes to-673 boxes, and cheese from 245 crates to 253 crates. Mutton and lamb decreased from 767 carcasses to 758 carcasses, but was higher than last year's average of 749 carcasses. The rate of discharging overseas cargo was 12-79 tons per hour, as against 12-39 tons for five year period 1940-45 and 12-98 last year. Vessels of Union Steam Ship Go. (of New Zealand), Ltd. —The rate of handling general cargo shows a slight drop from 13-96 tons , per hour for the five-year period 1940-45 to 13-76 tons this year. The rate last year was 14-37 tons, so the rate this year shows a drop of over ton per hour, which is mainly due to a reduction in the rate of work at Auckland, which fell from 12-45 tons per hour to 11-29 tons per hour. Small Coastal Vessels.—The general cargo rate has shown a reduction to 16-71 tons per hour compared with the average of 16-83 for five-year period 1940-45 and 17-29 for year ended 31st March, 1945. (ii) Costs op Cargo handling Full details of the cost of handling cargo under the co-operative contracting system have been recorded since Ist April, 1943. Due to increase in wages by per hour as from Ist April, 1945, and increase in contract rates by 10| per cent, (except loading coal at Westport and Greymouth —8J per cent.) it has been necessary to increase the cost figures for years 1943-45 by the addition of 10£ per cent. (8£ per cent, loading coal at Westport and Greymouth) where such increase is applicable. Tables have been prepared summarizing the stevedoring costs for the various cargoes for each class of contract covering the year ended 31st March, 1946, with comparative figures for years ended 31st March, 1944 and 1945 (corrected by addition of 10J per cent, or 8|- per cent, where applicable), and showing the average corrected cost for the three-year period.

Year. Number of Contracts. Value. Tonnage. 1944-45 1945-46 1940-46 3,658 3,738 17,956 £ 1,794,446 1,801,713 8,953,180 4,632,131 4,638,912 22,643,279

Due to restriction in size of report, it lias not been possible to publish the tables, which will be printed later as an Appendix. Costs will be supplied under the following headings:— Contract " Extras {a) Hatches, Standby Time, &c. (b) Extra Labour. (c) Cost-of-living B'onus. (d) Special Cargo Rates, &c. Total " Extras " (excluding Overtime). Contract " Rates " (a) Cargo—Ship. (b) Cargo —Shippers (if any). (c) " Top " Hatches (if any). OvertimeOrdinary. Special. Total " Co-operative Contract Price." Supervision Fund. Annual Holidays Fund. National Pay Office Fund. Total Contract Account. (iii) Profit Distribution Included in Appendix (page 42) is a table summarizing the profit distributed under the co-operative contracting system for each class of contract at each port for the fiveyear period 1940-45 for the year ended 31st March, 1946, and totals to that date. It will be seen that £187,594 was distributed during the year at a " winch " time rate of 10*48 d. per hour, as against £172,667 distributed for year ended 31st March, 1945, at rate of 9-93 d. per hour, an increase 'of £14,927 and an increased rate of over |d. per hour. The amount of profit distributed from commencement of contracting until 31st March, 1946, was £855,905 at a " winch " time rate of 9-ld. per hour. 3. DISPUTES AND STOPPAGES OF WORK Published in the Appendix (page 61) is a table summarizing the man-hours lost through stoppages of work on the waterfront during the period of Commission control and for the four-year period 1937-40 prior to Commission control. During the year ended 31st March, 1946, the percentage of man-hours lost through strikes and stoppages of work was 0*93, as against an average of 0-41 for the previous five years. The increase this year was due to two major disputes, one at Auckland and one at Lyttelton. The Auckland dispute, which involved a loss of 73,680 man-hours, was brought about by a stoppage of work on one ship following a demand by the union for reinstatement of a worker dismissed by the foreman for alleged abusive language. The dispute spread throughout the port by the union introducing a " go-slow " policy. During the go-slow the men were paid the amount earned under contract, and payments averaged only approximately ss. per day. The dispute at Lyttelton arose in connection with a claim for payment of dirt-money for handling lamp-black, the union claiming a higher rate than was determined by the Waterfront Controller. 4. RATES OF PAY On the 17th March, 1945, the Court of Arbitration issued a pronouncement which increased the standard minimum hourly rates of wages by 3|d. per hour, effective as from Ist April, 1945.

H—4s

The Commission met representatives of employers and workers on 26th April, 1945, when submissions were made by the union for an increase of 4d. per hour in wages, together with several other claims, and counter-proposals were also made by the employers. In order to maintain the relative position which waterside workers had held with other workers for over twenty-two years, the Commission granted an increase of 3Jd. per hour in the basic ordinary time rate of pay with pro rata increase in overtime hours. Payment was approved as from Ist April, 1945, the new rate being 3s. l|d. per hour, plus 4d. per hour to cover the two cost-of-living bonuses. The 4d. per hour is a flat rate and does not increase in overtime hours. 5. AVERAGE WAGE Tables are published in the Appendix showing : (a) Return showing the average wage of unionists per man-week worked for years 1940-45, 1945-46, and 1940-46. (Note. —This return has been based on the man-weeks worked and does not show the true average weekly wage over the whole year, as all men are not employed for fifty-two weeks —see return of earnings according to income groups.) (Appendix, page 56.) (b) Return showing earnings of unionists for year ending 31st March, 1946, analysed according to income groups. (Appendix, page 57.) (c) Return showing average total earnings, profit distributions, ordinary and overtime hours, weeks and holidays worked by unionists with highest earnings for year ending 31st March, 1946. (Appendix, page 59.) Notwithstanding the increase in wages by 3£d. per hour, the average wage per manweek has dropped from £lO 13s. 7d. during year ended 31st March, 1945, to £lO 6s. 7d. this year, and the annual income has shown a substantial drop, particularly at the port of Auckland. During the year ending 31st March, 1945, at the port of Auckland 588 men earned over £6OO, while this year only 123 men earned over that figure. The reverse position applied at the port of Wellington, where the average wage and income increased. The over-all port average, however, shows a fairly substantial drop. 6. AVERAGE HOURS OF WORK The cancellation of shifts and extended hours of work (except coal vessels) has resulted in a reduction in the average overtime hours of work, which has been more than offset by an increase in the average ordinary time hours. The average hours per week for main and secondary ports was 41f (28| ordinary time, 13£ overtime) for year ended 31st March, 1946, as against 41J (22f ordinary time, 18| overtime) for the previous year. As the reduction in overtime hours of work took effect about halfway through the year, next year's figures should show a further drop in average of overtime hours worked. Table is published in Appendix, page 55. 7. GUARANTEED WAGE Payments made during the year were as follows £ Auckland .. .. .. 3 Wellington .. .. .. 9 Lyttelton .. .. .. .. 410 Dunedin .. .. .. .. Nil Total 422 The guaranteed wage of £3 6s. per week which previously applied to "A" grade workers at ports of Auckland, Wellington, and Lyttelton was extended to the port of Dunedin from 20th March, 1946. As stated in last year's report, the guarantee on the present basis does not convey any material benefit to the great majority'of waterside \

H—4s

workers. The Commission appreciates the need for providing some security to waterside workers at all main and secondary ports where the men rely upon the waterfront for a livelihood, and in July, 1945, requested the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union and the New Zealand Watersider Employers' Association to submit detailed proposals for its consideration. 8. WAITING-ROOM ACCOMMODATION AND FACILITIES Further progress has been made during the year in providing more modern and suitable waiting-room accommodation and facilities throughout New Zealand. The new waiting-room and administrative offices at Westport was opened by Mr. James Roberts on 16th March, 1946. The Greymouth building is nearing completion, and it is expected to be ready for occupation early in October. A small building has been erected on the waterfront at Timaru as a central pay office, and it is a decided improvement in the port facilities. The Auckland Harbour Board is carrying out urgent improvements to accommodation, and the Lyttelton Harbour Board has approved of plans being prepared for erection of modern waiting-room and accommodation facilities at that port. Negotiations are still taking place between the Commission and Bluff Harbour Board regarding the provision of a new waiting-room. Plans and specifications have been prepared for a new building at Nelson, and a start will be made as soon as permit is available and contract let. 9. ANNUAL HOLIDAYS : VE AND VJ DAYS It is pleasing to record that the granting of annual holidays to waterside workers has operated very satisfactorily during the past year. By allowing workers to take holidays in advance it has been possible to spread the leave over the year, and this has been to the benefit of both workers and employers, as the greater number of men are able to get their holidays during the summer months, and delays to shipping are avoided through a limited number of workers being absent at the one time. Concessions have been granted to men absent genuinely sick by treating sick-leave not exceeding 72 days in the year as qualifying period for crediting of annual holidays provided that the worker is absent not less than six working-days and produces a medical certificate. Following pronouncements by the Government regarding the granting of holidays to workers to celebrate victory in Europe and against Japan, agreement was reached for the payment to regular waterside workers of 2 days' pay for VE Day and 1| days' pay for VJ Day, payment being financed from the Annual Holidays Fund. The cost was £13,272 for YE Day and £10,518 for VJ Day. 10. CARGO CONTROL COMMITTEES Published in the Appendix (page 81) is a table summarizing the revenue and expenditure and tonnages handled by the Cargo Control Committees at Ports of Auckland and Wellington. These committees continued to perform a very useful service, but with the cessation of hostilities more wharf-shed space became available, and it was possible to revoke the committee for Wellington on 31st October, 1945. The committee for Lyttelton (including City of Christchurch) was revoked on 15th October, 1945. A large amount of cargo continued to be handled by the Auckland committee, but arrangements were made to expedite release of dock-site store from War Assets Realization Board to the Auckland Harbour Board. At that time the Auckland Harbour Board accepted responsibility for the clearance of wharf sheds, and the Auckland committee and Cargo Control Emergency Regulations were revoked at 31st July, 1946.

The Commission desires to place on record the valuable services rendered in the war effort by members of Cargo Control Committees, particularly at the Port of Auckland where the Chairman and members devoted a large amount of time, without remuneration, in preventing congestion of wharf sheds, and thus expediting the despatch of shipping. No. 3 store at Auckland is being retained by the Government for the storage of Government goods under the jurisdiction of the Commission. 11. ACCOUNTS (1) General During the year ended 31st March, 1946, the funds operated by the Commission have remained the same as listed in last year's report. As was anticipated, it has been found possible to finalize the accounts of the Industrial Rest Period Fund (see Section 6), and the unexpended balance of this fund has been transferred to the credit of the Annual Holidays Act Fund (see Section 2). Detailed statements of account for each fund are included in the Appendix. A table is also given (Appendix, page 78) showing in summarized form the fund totals of income and expenditure, as well as totals for Appropriation Account headings and Accumulated Funds Accounts for the period 1940-45, the year 1945-46, and the full period of the Commission's activities, 1940-46. Percentages are shown in each case to indicate the relation of each fund to the total operations of the Commission. The following points emerge from a comparison with the similar tables included in last year's report (H.-45, 26th November, 1945, Appendix, pages 86 and 87) - (i) Total income for 1945-46 has fallen by £201,551 as compared with 1944-45, and now aggregates £13,029,74-7 for the period 1940-46. (ii) Total expenditure for 1945-46 has fallen by £196,009 as compared with 1944-45, and now amounts to £12,055,416 for the period 1940-46. (iii) Total profit distributions for 1945-46 were £188,651, an increase of £14,009 on 1944-45, and now total £811,134 for the period 1940-46. (iv) Administrative costs under all headings were equivalent to 4*22 per cent. of " total income " and 4*Bl per cent, of " total expenditure " for 1945-46, as compared with 3*93 per cent, and 4-00 per cent, respectively for 1944-45. Details are as follows :

(v) In order to meet the appropriations for 1945-46 it was necessary to make a net transfer back from Accumulated Funds Accounts of £4,634. This compares with a net surplus of £15,597 after appropriations in 1944-45. The reasons for this adverse position in regard to accumulated funds, as well as for the other variations in income, expenditure, &c., listed above are set out hereunder in dealing with the individual fund operations. (2) Annual Holidays Act Fund (See Appendix, page 63) It is not possible to make comparisons .with the 1944-45 accounts for this fund as they only covered an initial period of eight months' operation of the provisions of the Annual Holidays Act, 1944. Furthermore, no information was available as to the

Fund. Percentage of Total Income. Percentage of Total Expenditure. 1944-45. 1945-46. 1944-45. 1945-46. General (administration) National p&y office Consolidated (rote, " Labour ") 1-27 2-26 0-40 1-43 2-33 0-46 1-33 2-24 0-43 1-62 2-69 0-50 3-93 4-22 4-00 4-81

accrued holiday pay due to union waterside workers as at 31st March, 1945, the amount of £16,000 so included in the accounts for that period being an estimate only. As explained)in last year's report, the fact that the holiday year ends on 31st July entails certain problems in preparing annual accounts as at 31st March. The 1945-46 accounts however, do include a full year's income and expenditure, as detailed arrangements were put into effect to determine the accrued holiday pay as at 31st March, 1946. By taking the results for 1944-45 and 1945-46 together it is possible to get a true picture of the operation of annual holidays provisions on the waterfront for the period Ist August, 1944, to 31st March, 1946. During this period holiday pay to unionists has amounted to £113,391 and to non-unionists, £17,423. Payments for YE and YJ Day celebrations were £23,790, and were also charged to this fund. Total income frcfen levies (2d. per " paid " labour hour Ist August, 1944, to 31st March, 1945, increased to 2jd. per " paid" labour hour from Ist April, 1945) amounted to £158,367. Although 1945-46 accounts show an adverse balance of £8,312, by taking in the surplus for of £8,908 the net credit balance in the fund as at 31st March, 1946, is £596. To this has been added the final balance of £5,840 from Industrial Rest Period Fund (see Section 6). (3) Buildings Fund (See Appendix, page 65) For the year ended 31st March, 1946, the Commission has again set aside a further £lO,OOO in equal proportions from the National Pay Office and Co-operative Contracts Funds. As at 31st March, 1946, therefore, the Buildings Reserve Account stands at £40,000, being the estimated amount required to meet present building commitments. Certain delays were experienced during the year which prevented the anticipated completion of the Greymouth building, which was in course of construction at the date of last year's report. It is expected that some months will still lapse before it will be possible to occupy this building. The Westport building was officially opened on 16th March, 1946. It was not, however, possible to complete the accounts before the end of the 1945-46 financial year. This accounts for the large amount of £14,789 as " Works in Progress." This item also includes an amount for initial expenditure on a small central pay office building which was still in course of erection at Timaru as at 31st March, 1946. The total book value of buildings erected (less depreciation) or in progress as at 31st March, 1946, was £24,096, as compared with £9,981 the previous year. In addition to the buildings already mentioned, the Commission expects, during the coming financial year, to commence construction of a watersiders' assembly hall and Commission's administrative offices building at the port of Nelson. Levies for 1945-46 for maintenance of completed buildings amounted to £486, and, after provisions for depreciation (£340) and administration, the net balance transferred to Accumulated funds was £134, making a total of £227 in this account as at 31st March, 1946, to meet future major repairs and maintenance charges. (4) Consolidated (Vote, " Labour ") Fund (See Appendix, page 77) For the year ended 31st March, 1946, the parliamentary appropriation from* Consolidated Fund (vote, " Labour ") for this section of the Commission's administrative expenditure was £12,670, as against £11,870 for 1944-45. The increase of £BOO was occasioned by increases in salaries of Commissioners and other executive officers as approved by Cabinet. Over the full period 1940-46 the net expenditure met by way of charges or grants from Consolidated Fund (vote, " Labour ") has been £67,394, or an average of £11,232 per year. In view of the projected change in constitution of the Commission it is estimated that the parliamentary appropriation for this fund for 1946-47 can be reduced by £420 to £12,250.

(5) Co-operative Contracts Fund (Bee Appendix, page 67) Although the total income for this fund for 1945-46 at £2,471,702 is £236,776 less than in 1944-45, the profit-earning portion (co-operative contracts and equivalent contracts) at £1,833,713 is £9,826 greater than the previous year. Net profit, which for 1945-46 is £211,668, also shows a substantial increase of £27,746 and is equivalent to a return of per cent, as against a profit of 10 per cent, earned in 1944-45. Profit distributions and grants absorb £189,853 (89-70 per cent, of net profit), reserves £5,000 (2-36 per cent.), and the balance carried forward is £16,815, or 7-94 per cent. The figure for profit distributions and grants represents an increase of £14,818 on 1944-45. The reduction in " Total income " is chiefly due to the reduction and eventual cessation of services performed on behalf of American authorities at Auckland. Whereas the wages paid under this heading amounted to £542,300 in 1944-45, in 1945-46 they amounted to only £257,236. A further important factor is the substantial reduction in special overtime work which resulted following the virtual cessation of night-shifts, Sundays, and holidays work as from September, 1945. In the case of co-operative contracts during 1945-46 this loss in value has been largely offset by increased contract earnings. As the Supervision, National Pay Office, and General (Administration) Fund incomes are mainly derived from percentage charges on Co-operative Contracts Fund income it will readily be appreciated that any substantial drop in value of contracts, &c., has a widespread effect on these other funds of the Commission. The position referred to has only developed during the last six months of the year ended 31st March, 1946, but already it has had the effect of producing adverse balances for 1945-46 in the revenue accounts of all three funds mentioned. These losses will be intensified in 1946-47, when the full effects of the cessation of war activities will be more apparent. (6) General Fund (Administration) (See Appendix, page 69) The income of the General Fund (Administration) is derived from two main sources : (a) Assessments on other Commission funds : (b) Parliamentary appropriations. Out of a total income for 1945-46 of £39,274, 67-55 per cent., or £26,533, was derived from source (a), and £12,670, or 32-47 per cent., from source (6). Parliamentary appropriations have increased by £BOO, as compared with 1944-45 (see Section 4). Assessments have been made on the same basis as in 1944-45—that is, 1 per cent, on Co-operative Contracts Fund income (excluding American non-contracts at Auckland of £257,236) and 2 per cent, on income of other funds. The 1945-46 income from this source is £1,134 greater than in 1944-45, chiefly through increased co-operative contracts and Annual Holidays Act income. Total working expenses for 1945-46 at £41,143 have increased by £4,748, as compared with 1944-45. The increase is mainly due to award salary adjustments effective from Ist April, 1945, the item for salaries being £2,926 greater than in 1944-45. The effect of salary increases is also reflected in the item " Re-imbursement to National Pay Office Fund," which is £1,426 higher than for 1944-45. These two items between them account for 85-75 per cent, of total working expenses for 1945-46. As mentioned in Section 5, Co-operative Contracts Fund, the drop in over-all income of that fund due to reduction or cessation of wartime activities has a direct bearing on funds such as General (Administration), which derive their income as percentage levies on the basis of Co-operative Contracts Fund income. For 1945-46 the Revenue Account for General (Administration) Fund shows an adverse balance of £1,869, as compared with a surplus of £9ll in 1944-45. This trend is likely to continue in 1946-47, and will no doubt involve a re-assessment of income levies in order to provide for expenditure on a normal peacetime basis.

Total accumulated funds as at 31st March, 1946, show a reduction from £10,016 (at 31st March, 1945) to £8,147, and are now represented by " investments " of £3,059; fixed assets, £3,241 ; and cash, £1,847. (7) Industrial Rest Period Fund (Appendix, page 71) These are the final accounts for this fund. The unexpended balance of £5,840 has now been transferred to the credit of Annual Holidays Act Fund (see Section 2). (8) National Pay Office Fund (Appendix, page 72) The effect of the reduction or cessation of wartime activities on the waterfront, which has been referred to in Sections (5) and (6), is- particularly noticeable in regard to the accounts of the National Pay Office Fund. Income from direct levies at the rate of 2 per cent, on co-operative contracts, non-contracts, supervision, and Annual Holidays Act income produced £49,811 during 1945-46, a reduction of £4,022 on the 1944-45 figure. This drop was partly offset by the increase of £1,425 in " Reimbursements from General Fund," which stand at £13,058 for 1945-46, as compared with £11,633 for 1944-45. Total income " at £63,933 is £2,543 less than for 1944-45. There are two factors mainly responsible for the increase of £6,975 in " Total Working Expenses " which amounted to £68,475 for 1945-46 : (а) Increased Work in connection with Retrospective Pay granted to Waterside Workers in Terms of Commission's Order No. 128 and finalizing of First Year's Annual Holiday Pay.—This work came together at the end of July, 1945, and coincided with a rush of shipping. In order to avoid delay in making retrospective and annual holiday payments it was necessary not only for considerable overtime to be worked by pay office staffs, but also to employ several casual pay clerks, especially at main ports. The cost of this extra work is reflected in the expenditure items of " Casual pay clerks " and " Overtime," which show increases of £912 and £2,225 respectively as compared with 1944-45. (б) Award Salary Adjustments as from Ist April, 1945. —The item " Salaries " shows an increase of £4,575 as compared with 1944-45. The cumulative effect of reduced income and increased expenditure is reflected in the adverse balance in Revenue Account for 1945-46 of £4,542, as against a surplus of £4,976 in 1944-45. To offset this loss, and in order to provide for the National Pay Office Fund contribution of £5,000 to Buildings Fund (see Section 3), it has been necessary to transfer back £9,692 from Accumulated Funds Account to Appropriation Account. The balance of Accumulated Funds Account as at 31st March, 1946, now stands at only £BB. As the trend towards reduced income from direct levies is likely to continue in 1946-47 it will be necessary to reconsider the structure of National Pay Office Fund finance in order to provide for normal peacetime services. The increase of £4,563 in " Unclaimed" liability as per balance-sheet as at 31st March, 1946, as compared with the previous year is chiefly due to the large volume of amounts due for restrospective pay, particularly to non-union workers, which have not yet been collected. As from 3rd September, 1945, the Commission assumed responsibility for the central pay office at Timaru previously operated by the Timaru Waterside Employers' Association. It was not possible to commence the projected central pay office at Greymouth owing to non-completion of the building being erected at the port for the Commission. It is expected, however, that this pay office will definitely be in operation before the end of 1946. As from Ist August, 1945, the Commission also established

H—4s

its own central pay office at Nelson. This pay office was established by the Commission under the National Pay Office Fund as from Ist April, 1943, and between that date and 31st July, 1945, was operated on an agency basis on behalf of the Commission by the Anchor Shipping and Foundry Co., Ltd. (9) Supervision Fund (Appendix, page 75) The statements of account for this fund cover the costs of supervision of waterfront labour at the Ports of Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Picton, Westport, and Greymouth. While " Total working-expenses " for 1945-46 at £56,699 show a small reduction of £302 as compared with 1944-45, income from " Levies " at £56,045 is less by £4,483. As the income of Supervision Fund is linked directly to the volume and value of waterfront activities the reduction in income is in line with the trend noted in connection with similar reduced income from levies in National Pay Office Fund (see Section 8) and is likely to lead to a further loss of income in 1946-47. For 1945-46 it has meant a net loss in Revenue Account of £654, as compared with a net profit of £3,527 in 1944-45. In order to cover this loss, as well as to provide for profit distributions (which in most cases are payable in relation to similar payments made from Co-operative Contracts Fund to waterfront workers) it has been necessary to transfer back £1,708 from Accumulated Funds Account to Appropriation Account. This leaves a balance of £13,416 in Accumulated Funds Account as at 31st March, 1946. 12. CONCLUSION—" OVER-ALL " CONTRACTING —RECONSTRUCTION OF COMMISSION The extension of the present contracting system to " over-all" contracting and the granting of further responsibilities to union members did not proceed during the year as quickly as was anticipated. Full details are now available of the cost of handling cargo under contract during the past three years, and this information, which is being published as'an Appendix to the report, will expedite the introduction of the " over-all " contracting system. It is expected that the system will be given a trial at Westport at an early date. The decision of the Government to reconstitute the Commission with two members of each workers and employers and an independent Chairman, was arrived at following an intimation by one member of the Commission that he wished to resign to take up other work and following requests by both employers and workers for representation. The new. set-up is in line with recommendations made by Judge Foster in Australia, who conducted an inquiry into the stevedoring industry in that country. The new body, known as the Waterfront Industry Commission, was appointed on the Ist July, 1946, and in thanking the members of the Waterfront Control Commission for their services, the Right Hon. the Prime Minister expressed the Government's appreciation for the devotion, determination, efficiency, and enterprise with which the Commissioners carried out their work, often in the face of almost insurmountable difficulties. The new Commission will function only with the good will and co-operation of both employers and workers and provided its decisions are observed by both parties. A. E. Bockett, Secretary.
