1. INTRODUCTION At the commencement of the year under review, Mr. A. E. Bockett, General Manager of the Commission, was acting as sole Commissioner pending some agreement being reached between employers, employees, and the Government as to the future of Commission control of the industry. After protracted negotiations, agreement was reached for the establishment of the Commission which took office on the 10th November, 1947. The new Commission consisted of a Chairman, two members nominated by the New Zealand Waterside Employers' Association, two members nominated by the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union, and a Government member who is the Deputy Chairman of the Commission. Judge Dalglish, Deputy Judge of the Court of Arbitration, was appointed Chairman of the Commission. The members of the Commission were appointed to hold office for a term of five years and were appointed on a full-time basis. The powers, functions, and responsibilities of the new Commission are similar to those conferred on previous Commissions. An alteration was made in voting powers and procedure whereby decisions are arrived at on a majority vote, and provision is made that the Commission's decision is to be pronounced by the Chairman and no dissenting opinion is to be expressed by any other member of the Commission. Prior to the appointment of the Commission, assurances were given by the New Zealand Waterside Employers' Association and the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union that employers and employees would accept and observe all decisions of the Commission, whether such decisions were arrived at unanimously or on a majority of votes, and that both of the organizations would do all in their power to ensure that the Commission would function successfully in the interests of the industry and the country as a whole. 2. DESPATCH OF SHIPPING The functions of the Commission are to ensure the utmost expedition in the loading and discharging of ships. The need for the rapid handling of goods and turn-round of ships in New Zealand is vital to the whole economy of the country and is of no less importance to-day than during the war years. Published in the Appendix (page 71) is a table showing the time spent on the New Zealand coast by overseas vessels each year from 1939 to March, 1948. Vessels which discharged and loaded spent an average of 56 days on the coast for the year 1947-48, as compared with an average of 52 days for the year 1946-47 and 42 days in 1939. Overseas vessels which loaded only spent an average of 23 days on the coast in the year 1947-48, as compared with the average of 26 days in the year 1946-47 and 27 days in 1939. The various factors affecting the turn-round of shipping are summarized hereunder : {a) RATES OF WORK Published in the Appendix (pages 30-51) are tables showing the rates of work for the loading and discharging of all vessels worked under the co-operative contracting system for the years 1940-47 and for the year 1947-48. (i) Overseas Vessels The all-ports average rate of work for the loading of overseas vessels has been maintained during the year, but there was a drop in the rate of loading overseas vessels at Auckland. The rate of loading butter at that port fell from 780 boxes per gang per hour for the year 1946-47 to 742 boxes per gang per hour for the year 1947-48, while the rate of loading mutton and lamb fell from 768 carcasses in 1946-47 to 729 carcasses in 1947-48.

5—45

The all-ports average rate of discharging overseas vessels increased slightly from 12-15 tons per gang per hour in 1946-47 to 12-53 tons per gang per hour for the year 1947-48. This rate cannot be considered to be satisfactory, and there is plenty of room for improvement. The low rate of discharge is not, however, entirely due to the men, as there are other factors involved such as congestion of wharf and railway goods-sheds, multiplicity of marks, &c. (ii) Coastal Vessels The all-ports average rate of handling coastwise cargo for the year 1947-48 was 13-6 tons per gang per hour for Union Steam Ship Co. vessels and 15-94 tons for other coastal vessels, compared with 13-54 tons and 16 tons respectively for the previous year. There has been a falling off in the rate of handling coastwise cargo at Auckland during the last three years and at Wellington last year. The rate of work at Auckland compares unfavourably with the rates of work on Union Steam Ship Co. vessels at

other main ports. A comparison is shown hereunder :

The variation in the rates of work at each port is due not only to the men employed, but also to the facilities available at the port, method of handling, &c. It is gratifying to record a marked improvement in the rate of handling coastwise cargo at Dunedin, where the rate of work on vessels of the Union Steam Ship Co. increased from 13-3 tons per net gang-hour in 1946-47 to 14-75 tons in 1947-48, while the rate for other coastal vessels increased from 15-46 tons per net gang-hour in 1946-47 to 16-84 tons in 1947-48. (iii) General The Commission's figures for rates of work are calculated according to the times when loading or unloading operations are actually proceeding, and the times occupied in removing or replacing hatches, in shunting operations, and in weather or other delays are not taken into account. Unfortunately, in Auckland and Wellington, and to a less extent in Lyttelton, there appears to be a tendency for the times so occupied to increase, with the result that the amount of work done per paid hour is less in proportion to the work done per net hour than was formerly the case. (6) OVERLOADING OF PORT FACILITIES During the calendar year ended 31st December, 1947, a total of 8,412,000 tons of cargo was handled at New Zealand ports, as compared with a total of 7,683,000 tons for the year ended the 31st December, 1946, and as compared with 8,165,000 for the year 1938. This shows an increase of 729,000 tons handled last year compared with

the year 1946 and an increase of 247,000 tons over the 1938 year. For the three months ended March, 1948, a total of 2,125,000 tons of cargo was handled at New Zealand ports, compared with 1,930,000 tons for the three months ended 31st March, 1947, an increase of 195,000 tons for this three-months period. The mam increase in cargo handled was at the Port of Auckland, where during the year ended December, 1947, the cargo handled was 300,000 tons more than during the preceding year, and 360,000 tons more than during the year ended December, 1938. The increase in berthage space and shed accommodation has been insufficient to meet the large increase in cargo handled, and the result has been congestion of wharf sheds and the overloading of port facilities and railway services. The Port of Auckland in particular has been congested and, apart from delays to shipping through major disputes, the shortage of berthage space has been a factor resulting in vessels lying idle in the stream. Full use cannot be made of the Export Wharf at that port until gritarresters have been installed in the Kings Wharf Power-station. The erection of the Bulk Import Wharf, which has been authorized by the Auckland Harbour Board, will improve the berthage position of the port, but this wharf will not be available for some years. (c) CONGESTION OF WHARF AND RAILWAY SHEDS—SHORTAGE OF RAILWAY TRUCKS The congestion of wharf and railway goods-sheds, particularly with the large increase in the total cargo handled during the year, necessitated the reintroduction of the Cargo Control Emergency Regulations and the appointment of Cargo Control Committees at a number of ports. These Committees performed a very useful service during the war years in directing merchants to take delivery of goods and in removing goods from wharf sheds to stores off the wharf. The regulations were reintroduced in October, 1947. On a number of occasions at railway ports it has not been possible to work overtime on discharging jobs, and, in particular, no overtime was worked at the Port of Lyttelton on discharging vessels from the end of November, 1947, to the end of January, 1948, due to shortage of railway wagons. The Railways Department has placed orders overseas for additional trucks, and as these come to hand the position will improve. The Agriculture Department has authorized the use of lorries for taking delivery of phosphate cargoes when there is a shortage of railway trucks, and this has helped the position considerably. (d) INCREASE IN TONNAGES HANDLED PER VESSEL Overseas vessels are carrying greater inward cargoes and full export. cargoes and there is a greater tonnage handled for each trip than pre-war. The telescoping of meat has resulted in a saving of freezer space of approximately 30 per cent., and this has had the effect of greater tonnages of freezer cargo being shipped in each vessel. Regarding coastal vessels, while these vessels are taking much longer to turn round to-day, they are handling full cargoes, and compared with 1939 there has been an increase of 50 per cent, in the average tonnage of cargo handled per round trip. This is not, however, sufficient to offset the additional time taken in turn round. (e) REDUCTION IN WORKING-HOURS The reduction of hours of work on the waterfront from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and the cessation of Saturday afternoon work (except where a ship is finishing) represents an average loss of nine hours per week, or 13 per cent, on pre-war working-hours.

(/) MULTIPLICITY OF MARKS The multiplicity of marks of cargo discharged is a major cause of shed congestion. The Commission has taken steps to deal with this matter so far as the shipment of potatoes is concerned, and the Auckland Fact Finding Committee has represented the matter to the Chamber of Commerce with a view to a reduction being effected in the marks of standard packages. {g) SPELLING During the year, port Committees at Wellington and Lyttelton reached agreement whereby workers are allowed to relieve one another for a reasonable rest period, or " smoke-oh," in each four-hour period during the morning and afternoon. This agreement has resulted in improvement at these two ports. No agreement has been reached regarding the Port of Auckland, and the practice of spelling is still unsatisfactory at that port. (ih) DISPUTES INVOLVING STOPPAGES OF WORK Published in the Appendix (page 75) 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, 1948, the percentage of man-hours lost through disputes involving stoppage of work was I*7B per cent., as against 2-64 per cent, for the preceding year. The average percentage of man-hours lost during the period of Commission control from 1941-48 was 0-95 per cent., as compared with 0-80 per cent, for the four years prior to Commission control. Of the total of 221,038 man-hours lost during the year, 212,780 man-hours were lost at the Port of Auckland. Three major disputes developed at this port during the year. The first dispute concerned a demand by ship work carpenters, who are members of the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union but not under Commission jurisdiction, for an increase in wages of 6d. per hour and to be brought under Commission control. Waterside workers, in support of the shipwork carpenters, refused to handle dunnage in the customary manner, and this resulted in their dismissal and the extension of the dispute throughout the port. Normal work was resumed following a direction from the national executive of the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union after consultation with the Federation of Labour. The second dispute concerned a demand for extra dirt-money payment for discharging phosphul from the vessel " Cape York " ; and the third dispute concerned the handling of the hatches of the " Mountpark " in February last. 3. CO-OPERATIVE CONTRACTING (a) VALUE OF CONTRACTS AND TONNAGES HANDLED

Summarized below is a statement showing tonnages of contracts handled during the last three years and total to 31st March, 1948 :

Year. Number of Contracts. Value. Tonnage. £ 1945-46 3,738 1,801,713 4,638,912 1946-47 3,717 1,811,214 4,818,915 1947-48 4,127 2,275,722 5,562,895 1940-48 25,801 13,040,689 33,025,089

H—4s

The total value of contracts during the year 1947-48 has increased by £464,508 Over the preceding year and the tonnage handled is 743,980 tons greater. In December, 1947, the Commission introduced an incentive-payments scheme for the discharge of bulk phosphate at the ports of Auckland, New Plymouth, Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, and Dunedin, and the results have proved very satisfactory, particularly at Ravensbourne and Dunedin, where there has been a substantial increase in the rate of work. At the end of the financial year under review steps were being taken to introduce an incentive-payments scheme for the discharge of bulk sulphur. (6) COSTS OF CARGO HANDLING Tables have now been printed by the Commission and are available to shipping •companies and the union showing the stevedoring costs for various cargoes and each class of contract for the four years ended 31st March, 1947. Costs for the year ended 31st March, 1948, are being finalized, and will be printed later. (c) PROFIT DISTRIBUTION Included in the Appendix (pages 52-61) is a table summarizing the results of cooperative contract stevedoring and showing the amount of profit distributed at each port and each class of contract and the average profit per winch-hour for the sevenyear period 1940-47 and for the year ended 31st March, 1948, and the totals to that date. An amount of £275,251 was distributed during the year at a winch-time rate of 10-9 d. per hour, as against an amount of £205,328 distributed for the year ended 31st March, 1947, at a rate of 10-65 d. per winch-hour, an increase of £69,923 and an increase of 0-25 d. per winch-hour. The total amount of profit distributed from the commencement of contracting until 31st March, 1948, was £1,336,484 at a winch-time rate of profit of 9-64 d. The Commission issued an order during the year providing for the payment of profit distribution to non-union waterside workers as from Ist April, 1947, and since that date non-unionists have participated in the profits earned under the co-operative contracting system. 4. AVERAGE HOURS OF WORK Published in the Appendix (page 67) is a table showing the average hours of work per man-week (ordinary and overtime) by unionists for the fifty-two weeks ended 27th March, 1948. The average hours per week for all main and secondary ports was 45| (33| ordinary time, 12 overtime) for the year ended 27th March, 1948, as against 42f hours (33J ordinary time, 9| overtime) for the previous year. The ordinary hours of work were increased by an average of a quarter of an hour and overtime hours by an .average of 2| hours, an overall increase of 2§ hours per week as against the previous year. The over-all increase can be mainly attributed to the payment of the guaranteed daily minimum of two hours when work is not available, and the increase in overtime hours can be attributed to the inclusion for the full year of Saturday morning work as overtime. The Saturday morning rate was increased to time and a half as from Ist August, 1946, and during four months of the preceding financial year Saturday morning work was treated as ordinary hours. 5. RATES OF PAY : AVERAGE WAGE Following the pronouncement of the Court of Arbitration increasing the standard minimum rates of wages for adult workers by 3d. per hour and including the cost-of-living bonuses in the basic rate, the Commission as from Ist October, 1947, increased the basic rate of pay of waterside workers by 3d. per hour. The two cost-of-living bonuses, which were previously paid at a flat rate (irrespective of ordinary or overtime

9

H—4s

* hours) of 4d. per hour, were calculated to represent 3|d. per hour on the basic rate ox pay, and the cost-of-living bonuses were included in the basic rate at that figure. The new basic rate of pay of waterside workers as from Ist October, 1947, was therefore fixed at 3s. Bd. per hour, or Id. per hour above the skilled rate fixed by the Court of Arbitration. The average wage per man-week worked at main and secondary ports for the year ended 31st March, 1948, was £lO 16s. 6d., as against £9 13s. sd. for the preceding year. The increase of £1 3s. Id. per man-week can be attributed mainly to the increase in the basic rate of pay, to the additional time worked per week, and the payment of the guaranteed daily minimum of two hours. The basis adopted by the' Commission of calculating the average weekly wage on the man-weeks worked is as accurate as can be calculated for casual workers. During the current year, through the operations of the daily and weekly minimum payments, all waterside workers who were working or available for work would have received some payment for every week of the year, and therefore the average is spread over the full year and all men who were regularly working or available for work would have earned the average wage for their respective port over the full yearly period. The total amount of earnings of union waterside workers for all main and secondary ports for the year ended 31st March, 1948, was £2,894,926, as against £2,346,497 for the year ended 31st March, 1947, an increase of £548,429. Tables are published in the Appendix (pages 68-70) showing the average wage of waterside workers in the following returns : (a) Return showing the Average Wage of Unionists per Man-week for Years 1940-47, 1947-48, and 1940-48 (Appendix, page 68). (b) Return showing Earnings of Unionists for Year ended 31st March, 1948, analysed according to Income Groups (Appendix, page 69). (c) Return showing Average Total Earnings, Profit Distributions, Ordinary and Overtime Hours, Weeks, and Holidays worked by Unionists with Highest Earnings for Year ended 31st March, 1948 (Appendix, page 70). 6. GUARANTEED DAILY AND WEEKLY MINIMUM PAYMENTS The daily guarantee of two hours' work or payment in lieu thereof and the weekly guarantee of work to the value of £5 or payment in lieu thereof operated at main and secondary ports from 10th March, 1947, and this year is the first year that these guarantees have applied for the full year. During the year the principle of a guaranteed weekly minimum was extended to the ports of Whakatane, where a guarantee of £4 per week operates, Opotiki, where a guarantee of £3 per week operates, and Awanui, Whangarei, and Tokomaru Bay, where a guarantee of £3 10s. per week operates. Published in the Appendix (page 72) is a table showing the cost of daily and weekly minimum payments. The cost of the daily minimum payment was £38,799, the cost of the weekly minimum payment was £21,344, and the total cost was £60,143. It will be seen from the published table that the cost per man-week of operating the scheme at the ports of Auckland, Wellington, and Lyttelton has been very small, while the cost of operating the scheme at the ports of Oamaru, Greymouth, Gisborne, and Napier are substantial. The average per man-week varies from 2-35 d. at Auckland to 335. 4-19 d. per man-week at Oamaru. At the time the scheme was introduced it was estimated to cost approximately £lOO,OOO per annum, but owing to the large volume of work available during the year the payments were not as great as anticipated.

7. ACCOMMODATION AND AMENITIES It has been the policy of the Commission to provide waiting-rooms and amenities at ports where the finances of the Harbour Boards are such that this work cannot be undertaken by them, and the Commission has, during recent years, erected assembly halls and administrative offices at the ports of Napier, Westport, Greymouth, and Nelson. It is primarily the responsibility of Harbour Boards under the Harbours Act to provide waiting-rooms and amenities for waterside workers, and the Commission has always taken the view that this responsibility should be undertaken by Harbour Boards at the four main ports, where the finances of the Boards are such as to enable this work to be undertaken. The Commission has, however, agreed at main ports to meet the cost of equipping restaurants and cafeterias, provided the Harbour Boards supply the necessary buildings and facilities. Up to the present date the Commission has either expended or been committed to expenditure to an amount of £BO,OOO in providing modern waiting-rooms at secondary ports and equipping restaurants and cafeterias at main ports. The progress made during the year regarding the provision of accommodation and amenities is summarized as follows : Auckland.—Modern cafeterias were opened in November, 1947, at Princes, Queen's, King's, and Export Wharves. These cafeterias are being operated by the union through a cafeteria committee and are providing an efficient service to waterside workers at the port. The Auckland Harbour Board met the cost of providing the cafeterias, while the Commission was responsible for all costs of equipment. The Commission also provided a mobile canteen, which is being used to carry refreshments to workers at other wharves. The Commission has also expended a considerable amount of money in the equipment of the main restaurant in the Port Building with a view to making provision for the supply of hot meals there. Wellington.—The main restaurant at Wellington is being operated by the local branch of the union, and after experiencing a number of difficulties in the early stages, the restaurant is now operating satisfactorily. Cafeterias are being provided at Aotea Quay and Taranaki Street Wharf, and these should be available in the near future. The Commission has spent approximately £6,000 in the purchase of equipment and in alterations to the restaurant at the port. Following negotiations with the Wellington Harbour Board, arrangements were made whereby the Board would provide washing-facilities around the wharves and also improve the lavatory accommodation. Arrangements have been made for a site to be made available to the Board from the Marine Department, and the Board has been requested to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications for a modern waiting-room. Lyttelton.—Plans and specifications are in course of preparation for the erection of a modern waiting-room at this port. The Harbour Board has been requested, and has agreed, to provide a first-aid room on the waterfront, and cafeterias. Gisborne.—During the year, the Commission erected an administrative office on Harbour Board property adjacent to the men's waiting-room. The provision of an office as central pay office and bureau on the waterfront at Gisborne will lead to greater efficiency at the port. Nelson.—A modern waiting-room with administrative offices was almost completed by the end of the year. The total cost for the erection of the building was approximately £14,500. Timaru.—The Commission met the cost of effecting improvements to the present waiting-room at this port. Bluff. —A modern waiting-room with administrative offices is in the course of erection at the port of Bluff, and this building should be completed before the end of 1948.

8. ANNUAL HOLIDAYS AND STATUTORY HOLIDAYS (a) ANNUAL HOLIDAYS Published in the Appendix (page 73) is a table showing the number of half-days annual holidays allocated to unionists at all main and secondary ports. The more favourable basis adopted last year in the qualifying conditions for the granting of annual holidays to union waterside workers has resulted in the majority of waterside workers receiving the full, two week's annual holiday. The cost of granting annual holidays to waterside workers at main and secondary ports from August, 1944, to 31st March, 1948, is as follows : 1944-45 (eight months) — £ Union'.. .. .. .. .. .. 42,150 Non-union .. .. .. .. .. 7,183 1945-46 Union .. .. .. .. .. .. 71,241 Non-union .. .. .. .. .. 10,240 YE Day (2 days'pay) .. .. .. .. 13,272 YJ Day (1J days'pay) .. .. .. .. 10,518 1946-47 Union .. .. .. .. .. .. 84,885 Non-union .. .. .. .. .. 9,826 1947-48 Union .. .. .. .. .. .. 87,392 Non-union .. .. .. .. .. 11,122 Total .. .. .. .. .. £347,829 (b) STATUTORY HOLIDAYS The cost of granting payment for the nine statutory holidays to unionists and nonunionists at the main and secondary ports from Ist August, 1946, to 31st March, 1948, is as follows : 1946-47 (eight months) — £ Union .. .. .. .. .. .. 31,358 1947-48 Union .. .. .. .. .. .. 80,722 Non-union .. .. .. .. .. 6,530 Total .. .. .. .. .. £118,610 9. CARGO CONTROL COMMITTEES Following a recommendation from the Aid to Britain Conference, the Government reintroduced the Cargo Control Emergency Regulations in October, 1947, providing for the appointment of Cargo Control Committees with power to direct that merchants' stores be kept open and delivery of goods taken from wharf and railway goods-sheds in ordinary and overtime hours to prevent congestion. Cargo Control Committees were established at the ports of Auckland, Wellington, New Plymouth, and Lyttelton (including the City of Christchurch). These Committees are doing very good work and have fully justified their appointment. The fear that import licences would be cancelled if goods were not imported prior to 31st December, 1947, resulted in very large importations arriving at the end of the year and during the holiday period, when a number of

12

H—4s

merchants' stores were closed. The efforts of Cargo Control Committees to deal with this problem considerably reduced the congestion in wharf and railway sheds. The decision of the Government to extend the licensing period to February next year should overcome the problem which existed during the last Christmas holiday period. 10. GOVERNMENT STORE, AUCKLAND No. 3 Cargo Control Store continued during the year to be operated by the Commission as a Government store for the storage of Government goods. The store was used mainly for the storage of wheat on behalf of the Wheat Committee, for the sorting and storage of tea on behalf of the Food Controller, and as a transit store for the storage of goods for other Government Departments. In addition to the storage of Government cargo, the store was also used for the storage of goods of private consignees to prevent congestion of wharf sheds. Goods for private consignees are only stored when the Commission is satisfied that alternative private storage accommodation is not available. During the year ended 31st March, 1948, a total of 51,544 tons of cargo was handled in the store, as compared with 28,076 tons for the eight months ended 31st March, 1947. The rate of handling per man-hour for the year ended 31st March, 1948, was 2-94 tons, as against 2-63 tons for the preceding eight months, and the cost per ton handled was 2s. 3-lld. per ton for the current year, as against Is. 10-75 d. for the preceding period. The increased rate of handling per man-hour is attributed to the purchase of a large quantity of palette-boards and the greater use of fork hoists in the store. When fork hoists were used in the store they have been debited against handling charges at the rate of 10s. per hour, and this has resulted in an increased cost per ton handled and a corresponding greater profit against the hire of mechanical plant. The volume of cargo handled through the store during the year indicates the need for the continuation of its operation for some time to come. The store is operated at a profit and the work has been carried on efficiently by the Commission's store staff at Auckland. 11. ACCOUNTS {a) GENERAL No changes took place either in the nature or in the number of the Commission's funds during the year ended 31st March, 1948. The funds operated by the Commission as at 31st March, 1948, were therefore the same as those set out on page 14 of H.-45 dated 21st August, 1947. Only one variation occurred in the rates of levies or assessments for the 1947-48 financial year. An increase in levies applied as from Ist December, 1947 (Order No. 37), to all ports still remaining in the Supervision Fund (see Section (g) ). The year, however, has been one of great shipping activity, and this is reflected particularly in the two main operating funds—Co-operative Contracts and National Administration. The tendency noted during the first two post-war years for income to recede from the wartime peak during 1943-44 has been so sharply reversed that once again the total income for 1947-48 at £3,431,015 has approached within £153,351 of that peak of £3,584,366. The reasons for this increase are dealt with in Section (d) —• Co-operative Contracts Fund. Advantage has been taken of the buoyant position to make additions to the Commission's reserve funds not only for the provision of future guaranteed-wage payments, but also to cover present commitments for watersiders' assembly halls at secondary ports and cafeteria amenities at main ports. As comparative figures are now available for the present funds of the Commission for consecutive years, the opportunity has been taken this year to include such figures, as well as the usual percentages, in the statements of account. All inter-fund charges such as buildings maintenance levies and national administration levies have been shown under separate expenditure headings so that the effect of such transfers can be readily appreciated.

13

H—4s

In view of the considerable sums already spent, or to be spent, by the Commission on such fixed assets as buildings, cafeteria plant, and office furniture and fittings, the time has now come when it is desirable that the accumulated depreciation allowances ou these assets should be invested in suitable securities to provide for ultimate renewals or replacements. The Commission proposes to initiate this procedure during the 1948-49 financial year. In addition to the detailed statements of account for each fund included in the Appendix, a table is given (Appendix, page 94) showing in summarized form the fund totals of expenditure and income, as well as Appropriation Account headings and Accumulated Funds Accounts for the period 1940-47, 1946-47, 1947-48, and the full period of the Commission's activities, 1940-48. Percentages are shown to indicate the relation of each fund to the total operations of the Commission. The following points are of interest as compared with 1946-47 and past years : (i) Income and expenditure have increased by £814,600 and £678,859 respectively as compared with 1946-47. For the second year in the Commission's history both totals exceed £3,000,000. Aggregate totals for 1940-48 are now: — " £ Income .. .. .. .. 19,077,177 Expenditure .. .. .. .. 17,471,181 (ii) Profit distributions (mainly Co-operative Contracts Fund) have increased by £69,592, or by over 33 J per cent, as compared with 1946-47. The aggregate of profit distributions is now £1,292,804 over the period 1940-48 (excluding equivalent profit distributions for period July, 1940, to March, 1943, which were not included in the Commission's accounts for those years). (iii) Charges directly concerned with the discharging and loading of shipping (Co-operative Contracts Fund) amount to 85-67 per cent, of the Commission's income for 1947-48 and to 87-09 per cent, of expenditure. These charges, although greater in value are 2-80 per cent, and 1-23 per cent, respectively less than the corresponding proportions of 1946-47 total income and expenditure. This is due to the considerable increase in wage payments for guarantees and holidays now included in National Administration Fund.

(iv) Administrative costs are equivalent to 3*84 per cent, of " total income " and 4-32 per cent, of " total expenditure," a decrease of 0-28 per cent, and 0-23 per cent, respectively as compared with 1946-47. Details are :

(v) After appropriations, a balance of £10,997 was carried down to Accumulated Funds Account, as compared with £24,963 for 1946-47.

(6) BUILDINGS FUND (See Appendix, page 76) Although no further buildings were completed during 1947-48, additional expenditure an works in progress amounted to £12,965. The major portion of this expenditure was in respect of the Nelson assembly hall and offices, which were officially opened on 17th April, 1948, just after the close of the financial year. The first progress payment had also been made on the Bluff assembly hall and offices, and the balance of this item concerned payments on a small central pay office building at Gisborne and alterations to the Napier assembly hall. As the Gisborne office was urgently required, it was officially opened on Saturday, 28th February, 1948, although not fully completed. Additions, costing £154, completed during 1947-48 were mainly for extensions of facilities at Greymouth.

The total book value of buildings erected (less depreciation) or in progress as at 31st March, 1948, was £44,817, an increase in value of £12,252 as compared with 31st March, 1947. The following buildings are included in this total: —

The Commission has also indicated its readiness to build a modern assembly hall and offices at the Port of Oamaru (union membership, 53) when a suitable site for a permanent building is provided. With the completion of these buildings the Commission will have carried out the programme which it initiated in 1943-44 of providing urgent new and improved waitingroom and office accommodation at ports where Harbour Boards, on whom the primary responsibility fell for the provision of such accommodation, were prevented, through financial difficulties, from fulfilling their obligations. In all, assembly hall, locker, shower, and cafeteria facilities will have been provided for approximately 800 waterside workers at six out of the twelve secondary ports in New Zealand. The estimated final cost of this programme is £75,000. For the year ended 31st March, 1948, the Commission has appropriated £15,000 from National Administration Fund (see Section (e)) to Buildings Reserve, making a total of £65,000 in that account. \

Annual maintenance charges in the nature of cleaning, heating, and lighting are a direct charge on National Administration Fund Levies of ports where buildings have been erected. These port funds also receive contributions towards such costs from Harbour Boards to the extent that such charges were met by the Boards prior to the Commission erecting new buildings. The Commission, however, has undertaken ths full responsibility for major repairs and maintenance of its buildings and for depreciation on them. In order to spread these costs equitably, a " buildings maintenance levy "of 5 per cent, on original cost is made annually on all completed buildings, and this also is charged against port National Administration Fund levies. The total of such levies foi the year ended 31st March, 1948, credited to Buildings Fund Revenue Account was £1,677 ; of this amount, £867 has been set aside for depreciation, £42 represents the .Commission's internal administration assessment of 2| per cent, on fund incomes, and the balance of £756 (an increase of £179 on 1946-47) has been transferred to Accumulated Funds Account. This makes a total of £1,550 available to meet future repairs and maintenance charges on buildings. (c) CONSOLIDATED (VOTE, " LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT ") FUND (See Appendix, page 93) The parliamentary grant from Consolidated Fund (vote, " Labour and Employment ") was £17,079 for 1947-48, an increase of £4,829 on the 1946-47 appropriation. Included, however, in the 1947-48 total was an amount of £1,454 for additional expenditure in 1946-47. It has also since been found possible to transfer a surplus of £1,129 on 1947-48 expenditure in reduction of the estimated grant required for 1948-49. The net effect of these adjustments is that the true expenditure from parliamentary grant for 1947-48 was £14,496, or only £792 greater than the corrected expenditure for 1946-47. All the increases in expenditure were on account of salaries, partly due to the £25 per annum adjustment which operated from Ist October, 1947, but mainly on account of the reconstitution of a full-time Commission, comprising Chairman and five members as from 10th November, 1947. The surplus referred to above was due to a reduction in salary payments for the Commission. When these were estimated early in October, 1947, it was anticipated that the Chairman's salary would also be payable out of the Commission's grant. The appointment as Chairman of a Deputy Judge of the Arbitration Court, whose salary is provided for under permanent appropriations, altered the position. The net expenditure provided by way of charges or grants from Consolidated Fund for the eight-years period 1940-48 now aggregates £96,723, or an average of £12,090 per year. The estimated net expenditure of £17,230 for 1948-49 makes provision for a full year's expenditure on the revised basis for 1947-48 of £18,359 less surplus of £1,129 from 1947-48. (d) CO-OPERATIVE CONTRACTS FUND (See Appendix, page 78) The outstanding feature of the accounts for the Co-operative Contracts Fund for the year ended 31st March, 1948, is the striking increase in total income, which at £2,939,456 is £614,829 greater than total income for 1946-47. This increase is notable not only because it reverses the downward trend which has operated during each of the three financial years following the wartime peak of £3,378,148 in 1943-44, but also because of the extent and nature of the increase in income. While the 1943-44 income increase was due almost entirely to American and New Zealand Armed Forces non-contract handling of cargo costing £1,178,366 in waterfront wages, only £17,974 of the 1947-48 income increase is on account of non-contract wages. Of the balance, £464,508 is in respect of co-operative contracts and £142,312 in respect of equivalent contracts —that

16

H—4s

is, of the profit-earning portions of Co-operative Contracts Fund income. The unpredictable nature of these increases is further illustrated by the fact that from 1942-43, by which time the co-operative contracting system was in operation at most main and secondary ports and on all types of vessels, till 1946-47, co-operative contract income had remained steady at around £1,800,000 per year. The 1947-48 total of £2,275,722 therefore represents an increase of almost 25 per cent, on the stabilized level which had ■existed over the previous five-years period. There are two main reasons for the increase. First, a greater volume of shipping and cargo handled than has been normal in either of the two previous post-war years. This is borne out by the number of co-operative contracts and quantity of cargo handled (Appendix, page 26). Contracts for 1947-48, which numbered 4,127, were 410 (or 11-86 per cent.) greater than for 1946-47, while the 5,562,895 tons of cargo handled during 1947-48 was 743,980 tons, or 15|- per cent., more than for 1946-47 and mainly in respect of overseas general cargo discharged (492,948 tons increase). Second, the increase in basic rate of wages which operated from Ist October, 1947 (see Rates of Pay, page 68). While some further increase in co-operative contracts income during 1948-49 can be expected through the operation for the full financial year of the basic rate of wages increase, the continuation of the high level of income attained during 1947-48 will be -dependent rather on whether the volume of overseas imports is maintained. The substantial increase of £142,312 in equivalent contracts income, while partly due to the factors affecting co-operative contracts, is principally because of New Zealand Government Railways Department payments to waterfront workers which were handled by the Commission throughout the 1947-48 financial year, as compared with only the last four months during 1946-47. Profit-earning income at £2,518,813 now represents 85-69 per cent, of total Cooperative Contracts Fund income, as compared with 82-61 per cent, in 1946-47. Net profit, however, which at £285,531 is £62,840 greater than in 1946-47, is equal to only 11J per cent, on profit-earning income, as against llf per cent, in 1946-47. This drop in profit rate is in line with the 3-32 per cent, decline in over-all rates of work recorded in the Overseas Loading Summary (Appendix, page 29). Profit distributions and grants, which total £280,716 for 1947-48, are £69,928 greater than for 1946-47, and now represent 98-31 per cent, of net profit, as compared with 94-65 per cent, in 1946-47. The balance of £4,815, or 1-69 per cent., of Appropriation Account has been added to accumulated funds, which at 31st March, 1948, total £40,250. The percentage assessment for administrative costs at £36,74-3 is £7,827 greater than for 1946-47. On the other hand, the whole of the 1947-48 appropriation of £15,000 to Buildings Reserve has been made from National Administration Fund (see Section (e)). On the basis of previous years, one-half of this appropriation (£7,500) would have been made from Co-operative Contracts Fund. The heavy tonnage of overseas shipping on the New Zealand coast as at 31st March, 1948, has resulted in " debtors " for contracts, &c., at that date of £305,608, an increase of £67,464 on the figure at the same date in 1946-47. Although " deposits " against the working of overseas vessels at £150,605 also show an increase (£39,174), it was still necessary to call on National Administration Fund for cash balances to the extent of £35,678 in order to finance the advances of wages to waterfront workers against contract .and other accounts.

(e) NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION FUND (See Appendix, page 82) The sources of income of the National Administration Fund have not been subject to any variation in nature or rates during 1947-48 and therefore remain the same as set out in the table at the foot of page 18, H.-45, dated 21st August, 1947. The income from the principal national administration levy of Bd. per paid labour-hour is not affected by increases in wage-rates, but only by fluctuations in quantity or rate of work performed on the waterfront. On the basis of figures for 1945-46 and 1946-47, which indicated a stabilized level of post-war employment on the waterfront, this levy was expected to return £350,000 per year. This was the anticipated annual cost of the peacetime services to be provided, including an estimated £lOO,OOO per year for daily and weekly minimum payments which operated from 10th March, 1947. As a result of the great increase in waterfront work during 1947-48 noted in Section (d) —Co-operative Contracts Fund —the total of National Administration Fund levies at £398,365 was £48,365 in excess of the estimated income. For similar reasons, assessments income of £37,214 for 1947-48 was £7,268 greater than for 1946-47. A further direct effect of the increase in waterfront work was that payments of daily and weekly guarantees amounted to £60,143, instead of £lOO,OOO as expected, a saving of £39,857. It will be noted that these three surpluses, which total £95,490, equal almost exactly the net balance of £95,206 in the Revenue Account. But for the abnormal shipping position, therefore, the income as anticipated would have been sufficient only for the expenditure, including increased guaranteed payments, that would have been incurred. As in 1946-47, the analysis of income and expenditure for this fund is given according to the four main subdivisions of expenditure as follows : (i) Annual Holidays.—The income to cover payment of annual holidays to waterfront workers in terms of the Annual Holidays Act, 1944, is based on 2Jd. per paid labour-hour —that is, nine thirty-seconds of total National Administration Fund levies. For 194-7-48 this proportion amounts to £112,040, which is £11,720, or 11-68 per cent., greater than for 1946-47. Expenditure on union and non-union holiday pay (including administration assessment of 1\ per cent, on income, as for a separate fund) increased by £4,097, or 4-21 per cent., to £101,315 as compared with 1946-47. The net surplus for 1947-48 was £10,725, or 9-57 per cent, of income, as compared with 3-1 per cent, for 1946-47. Consequent upon the increase in basic rate of pay which operated from Ist October, 1947 (see Rates of Pay, page 68), rates of annual-holiday pay also increased by lOd. per half-day (for unionists) and o*lod. per paid hour (for non-unionists) as from pay-week ended sth October, 1947. This was the main reason for the over-all additiona expenditure on holiday pay during 1947-48. Other factors affecting the position were — {a) Additions to union membership during the year (453). (b) Greater volume of waterfront work, resulting in the employment of more non-union labour. (ii) Statutory Holidays.—The proportion of National Administration Fund levies allocated to cover statutory-holiday payments is lfd. per paid labour-hour—that is, seven thirty-seconds. For 1947-48, income under this heading totalled £87,142. The income for 1946-47 of £50,572 covered a period of eight months only, and on a proportionate basis equalled £75,858 per year. Income for 1947-48 therefore was £11,284,

18

H—4s

•or 14-88 per cent, greater. Expenditure for 1947-48 on union and non-union statutoryholiday pay (including administration assessment of 2-| per cent. 011 income, as for a separate fund) totalled £89,429 and exceeded 1946-47 expenditure by £56,808. This increase in expenditure is accounted for as follows : (a) As two Easter periods fell within the 1947-48 financial year a total of eleven (11) statutory holidays were paid for, instead of the usual nine (9) days. (b) Statutory-holiday payments did not commence until October, 1946 (Labour Day). Only five (5) such holidays, therefore, were paid for during the 1946-47 financial year. (c) No non-union payments were made in 1946-47, as these did not commence till Easter, 1947, which was the first statutory-holiday payment for 1947-48. (d) Increase of Is. Bd. per day which operated, consequent upon the increase in basic rate of pay, as from October, 1947 (Labour Day)—that is, for seven (7) out of the eleven (11) statutory holidays paid for during 1947-48. Despite increased income, therefore, the statutory holidays subdivision of National Administration Fund shows a net deficit of £2,287, or 2*62 per cent, of income for 1947-48. As Easter, 1949, falls in the month of April, and Anzac Day, 1948, fell 011 a .Sunday, the 1948-49 financial year will include six (6) statutory holidays only. This will have the effect of rectifying the adverse financial position in 1947-48. (iii) Daily and Weekly Minimum Payments.—The proportion of National Administration Fund levies allotted to this section of expenditure is the same as for annual holidays —that is, 2jd. per paid labour-hour, equal to £112,040 for 1947-48. As stated in the opening paragraph of this Section, an income of £lOO,OOO was budgeted for, so that the actual income was 11*20 per cent, greater than anticipated. On the other hand, for the same reason that income exceeded expectations—namely, the abnormal volume of shipping serviced during the year (see Section (d) —Co-operative Contracts Fund) — payments on account of daily and weekly minima at £62,944 (including administration assessment of per cent, on income, as for a separate fund) were 37-06 per cent., or £37,056 less than the estimated £lOO,OOO. While expenditure in the other subdivisions of the National Administration Fund is incurred in more or less direct ratio to the volume of waterfront work, it will be seen that expenditure on daily and weekly minima, being in the nature of a wages stabilization account, varies in inverse ratio. For this reason the Commission has deemed it advisable to add £50,000 out of the net surplus of daily and weekly minimum payments account of £52,178 (£3,082,1946-47 (three weeks period); £49,096, 1947-48 (full year) ) to the Guaranteed Wage Reserve (see Subdivision (v) — Summary) to provide for excess payments in periods of subnormal shipping. (iv) Central Pay Office, Labour Engagement Bureau, and General Administration.— The income allotted to this subdivision includes not only Ifd. per paid labour-hour (seven thirty-seconds of National Administration Fund Levy), but also the assessments on income of other Commission funds (1J per cent, co-operative contracts ; 2| per cent, other funds), parliamentary appropriation, and sundries. Including £7,781 for the assessments allowed for in Subdivisions (i) to (iii) of this Section, the total administrative income for 1947-48 was £152,198, as compared with £95,925 in 1946-47, an increase of £56,273, or 58-66 per cent. Expenditure for 1947-48 at £114,527 represents an increase of £19,120, or 20-04 per cent., on 1946-47. It will be noted that proportionate rises in annual rate of expenditure have occurred in the majority of administrative items. During 1947-48 it was necessary to increase staff and accommodation in order to carry out the extended functions of the Commission as well as to cope with the increased volume of shipping.

The net surplus in this subdivision for 1947-48 is £37,671. Out of this surplus,however, it is necessary to provide for capital expenditure, particularly on buildings and cafeteria amenities. Details of buildings expenditure are given in Section (b) — Buildings Fund. Cafeteria amenities are incorporated in all assembly halls erected by the Commission. To assist in the provision of such amenities at main and some secondary ports, the Commission has assumed the financial responsibility for supplying cafeteria plant, fittings, and equipment in buildings provided by Harbour Boards at main ports. As mentioned in Subdivision (v) —Summary—amounts of £15,000 each for Buildings and Cafeteria Plant Purchase Reserves have been set aside for 1947-48 out of the net surplus of this subdivision, leaving a net balance of £7,671, or 5-04 per cent., of income. As from 30th June, 1947, when daily and weekly minimum payments came into operation at Oamaru, the Commission also established a waterfront central pay office for that port. This completes the Commission's coverage of all main and secondary ports in New Zealand. Agents also act as partial central pay office organizations on behalf of the Commission at six minor ports —namely, Patea (annual and statutory holidays only), Awanui, Whangarei, Whakatane, Opotiki, and Tokomaru Bay (guaranteed weekly wage payments only). (v) Summary.—This is the first full year's income on the basis of the revised National Administration Fund levy provided for in Order No. 11 of the Commission, which operated from 10th March, 1947. A substantial increase in such income was therefore anticipated in order to provide for such additional expenditure as daily and weekly minima and provision of cafeteria amenities on the waterfront. Total income for 1947-48 was £455,641, an increase of £207,281 on 1946-47. Of this income, £303,441 y or two-thirds, was for holiday and minimum payments, and one-third, or £152,198, was for office administration, &c. Total expenditure of £360,435 for 1947-48 also shows the substantial increase of £136,728 as compared with 1946-47. Of this amount,. £245,908, or, again, approximately two-thirds, was for holiday and minimum payments, and the remaining one-third, or £114,527, for office administration, &c. As mentioned earlier in these notes, the Commission has decided to make provision from the 1947-48 net surplus of £95,206 in National Administration Fund for additions of £15,000 and £50,000 respectively to Buildings and Guaranteed Wage Reserves and to establish a new Cafeteria Plant Purchase Reserve of £15,000, making a total of £BO,OOO appropriated to reserves for the year. This leaves a net balance of £15,206 to be added to Accumulated Funds Account, which totals £49,530 as at 31st March, 1948. While the Commission considers that it is perferable to maintain a stable rate of levy and utilize surpluses in abnormal years to offset deficiencies in subnormal years, and that the present rate of levy is soundly related to average conditions, in view of the present exceptional circumstances, it is proposed to make a reduction in levies and assessments to operate from 4th October, 1948—that is, for the latter half of the 1948-49 financial year. In so far as the Balance-sheet as at 31st March, 1948, is concerned, there is a substantial increase of £15,151 in balance of unclaimed moneys as compared with 1946-47. While this is partly due to balance-day adjustments on account of the large volume of waterfront work which coincided with the close of the financial year, the increase is chiefly due to further annual additions of non-union holiday pay, to which, as from the beginning of 1947-48 has been added quarterly amounts of non-union profit distributions. The cash surpluses, after allowance for unclaimed moneys and creditors, have been utilized to finance the cash deficiencies in Co-operative Contracts Fund for advances of wages against contracts, &c. (see Section (d)).

(/) STORE FUND (See Appendix, page 88) Although the total income for 1947-48 at £13,703 shows an increase of £3,650 over 1946-47, as 1946-47 accounts covered a period of eight months only, on a proportionate basis there is a decrease of £1,377. This over-all decrease is due to the fall in " plant charges." With the acquisition of fork-lift trucks by merchants and the Auckland Harbour Board, opportunities for the hire of the surplus time of these machines when not required for store work declined considerably. During the year one truck was sold. On the other hand, expenditure too, while at £11,327 is £3,121 more than for 1946-47, on a proportionate basis represents a decrease at the rate of £983 for the year. The net surplus in Revenue Account for 1947-48 of £2,376 is £529 greater than for 1946-47, but represents 17-34 per cent, of income, as compared with 18-36 per cent, in 1946-47. From this surplus a further £2,000 has been appropriated to Plant Purchase Reserve, making a total of £3,500 in this account. Expenditure incurred for store plant (less depreciation) amounted to £3,397 as at 31st March, 1948. A net balance of £376 has been added to accumulated funds, making a total of £722 at 31st March, 1948. (g) SUPERVISION FUND (See Appendix, page 91) Comparisons between this year's income and expenditure and that for 1946-47 are of little value owing to the fact that 1946-47 figures include the period of six months prior to the cessation on 30th September, 1946, of Commission responsibility for the supervision of waterfront labour at the ports of Auckland and Wellington. Substantial reductions in both income and expenditure for 1947-48 were to be expected. During November, 1947, the winding-up of the Supervision Accounts for the ports, of Auckland and Wellington was completed. The final credit balances were £11,706 and £1,046 respectively. The refund of these amounts was subject to the deduction of losses incurred on supervision at the other secondary ports included in the fund. As at 30th September, 1947, these losses totalled £2,995, of which amount £1,046 was treated as apportionable to the Port of Wellington, leaving no balance in the account for that port. After deduction of the balance of £1,949 from the Auckland account, there remained £9,757 for distribution. The Commission decided that this surplus would be refunded to contributors to the fund in relation to the contract price of stevedoring work subject to supervision charges from the commencement of the scheme in June, 1942, to its cessation in September, 1946. The pro rata distribution on this basis amounted to 0-84 d. per pound contract price. Up to 31st March, 1948, a total of £9,610 had been paid out on this basis, leaving a balance of £147 still to be dealt with in the 1948-49 financial year.

In order to place the finances of the ports remaining in the Supervision Fund on a satisfactory footing, the Commission issued Order No. 37, increasing the various port levies as from Ist December, 1947, as follows :

21

Port. Date Supervision commenced byCommission . Rate of Levy at 1st April, 1947 (on Contract Price). Rate of Levy from 1st December, 1947 (on Contract Price). Nelson Picton /.. Westport ..

H—4s

The total income for 1947-48 for these four ports at old rates of levies for eight months and new rates of levies for four months was £3,459 and expenditure for the year was £3,625, leaving a net deficit for 1947-48 of £166. It will be noted that £3,226, or 88-99 per cent., of expenditure is on salaries. The supervising foremen at these ports are all engaged on a full-time salaried basis. As, however, these men are directly concerned in the operation of the co-operative contracts scheme at their respective ports the Commission makes additional quarterly profit distribution grants to them related to the level of profit distribution attained by waterside workers under the contracts scheme. For 1947-48 these distributions amounted to £3BO, and further increased the operating deficit to £546. After deduction of this deficit and the £9,610 transferred back to Appropriation Account for surplus distribution at Auckland, the balance in Accumulated Funds Account as at 31st March, 1948, stands at £754.

Table showing the Time spent in New Zealand by Overseas Vessels

Notes.—(1) During the war years, engine repairs, which were previously performed overseas, were carried out in New Zealand. (2) Reduction in working-hours have been effected as follows : (а) Main Ports.—Reduction from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. cessation of work became operative as from 3rd January, 1944. Shift-work and work on Sundays, holidays, and on Saturday afternoons (except where vessels could finish by 5 p.m.) cancelled as from Bth September, 1945. (б) Secondary Ports.—Shift-work cancelled as from Bth September, 1945. Work on Saturday nights, Sundays, and holidays cancelled as from 26th November, 1945. With regard to the cessation of work on Saturday afternoons and at 9 p.m. on ordinary week-days, subsequent action was taken at the various ports to bring the hours into line with those worked at main ports. (3) During the war years, overseas vessels were worked extended hours on Saturday nights, Sundays, and holidays, and also under a shift system from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Prior to the war, overseas vessels were worked 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (midnight to finish), Mondays to Fridays inclusive, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays. During the year ended 31st March, 1947, and thereafter, these vessels were worked 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (10 p.m. to finish), Mondays to Fridays inclusive, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays (5 p.m. to finish). This represents a reduction of approximately nine hours per week, or 13 per cent, on pre-war working-hours.
