1. INTRODUCTION During the year ended 31st March, 1949, a further change was made in the constitution of the Commission. On 25th June, 1948, following a majority decision of the Commission to declare the " Mountpark " at Auckland a " preference ship," the two union members resigned office. The Government vested the full powers, functions, and responsibilities of the Commission in the remaining four members, at the same time providing full voting-rights for the Government member. Following the issue, on 16th August, 1948, of the decision of the Emergency Disputes Committee set up by the Hon. the Minister of Labour (Mr. McLagan), under the chairmanship of the Chief Justice of New Zealand {Sir Humphrey O'Leary) to adjudicate on the " Mountpark" dispute at Auckland, negotiations were commenced for the re-establishment of union representation on the Commission. Comprehensive discussions were conducted by the Government with the New Zealand Waterside Employers' Association and the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union with a view to reaching agreement as to the form of national waterfront ■organization which would meet the post-war needs of the industry. In view of some criticism of the powers vested in previous Commissions to carry out both administrative and judicial functions, and the criticism that the Commission had been " judge in its own cause," it was decided to establish two bodies : (a) A full-time Waterfront Industry Commission; (b) A part-time Waterfront Industry Authority. The full-time Commission consisted of a Chairman appointed by the Government, one member nominated by the New Zealand Waterside Employers' Association, and one member nominated by the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union. In addition to carrying out the day-to-day administrative work, the Commission was vested with the powers for the settlement of disputes and for prescribing terms and conditions of employment for waterside work. Decisions of the Commission, however, were subject to a right of appeal to the Authority, and the Commission could not issue or amend any order prescribing conditions or terms of employment which were of general application except pursuant to a decision or direction of the Authority, or pursuant to a unanimous resolution of the Commission. The part-time Authority consisted of a Chairman appointed by the Government, two members nominated by the New Zealand Waterside Employers' Association, and two members nominated by the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union. The functions of the Authority, which was in the nature of an appeal body, were to deal with matters of a judicial or legislative nature which were referred to it for decision either directly by the Commission, or indirectly by way of appeals from the Employers' Association or union. The Regulations provided for decisions of the Authority to be pronounced by the Chairman, and no separate pronouncement was to be made by any other member, but a member could have his dissent recorded. Before their nominated representatives took office on these new bodies both the New Zealand Waterside Employers' Association and the New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union supplied the Government with written pledges of their intention to accept and abide by all legal orders and decisions of the Authority and Commission. Undertakings were also given by the representatives of both employers and workers to do all in their power to ensure that the Commission and Authority would function successfully in the best interests of the industry. It is to be regretted that, following an interim decision of the Waterfront Industry Authority on 9th February, 1949, granting a wage increase of 2|d. per hour, from which decision the union members of the Authority dissented, numerous stoppages of work by waterside workers occurred throughout New Zealand. These flagrant breaches by the union of its written undertaking of less than three months' standing resulted in a statement to the union on the 31st March, 1949, that the Government felt compelled to consider seriously whether Commission control of the waterfront

5

H—4s

had failed and should be abandoned. Before arriving at a final decision in this matter the Government desired to know whether membeis of the union were in favour of the continuance of Commission control of the waterfront and the benefits resulting therefrom, and if so, whether they were prepared in future to accept and abide by decisions of the Waterfront Industry Authority and to honour the pledges given on behalf of the union. To prevent the possibility of any misunderstanding as to the wishes of its members, the Government suggested that the union take a secret ballot of its members on these matters. 2. DESPATCH OF SHIPPING It is gratifying to record an improvement under this heading, as it is the principal function of the Commission to ensure the utmost expedition in the discharging and loading of ships. This improvement applies more especially to overseas vessels, the quick turn-round of which is particularly vital not only to the economy of New Zealand, but also to that of Great Britain. Published in the Appendix (page 71) is a table showing the time spent in New Zealand by overseas vessels during the year ended 31st March,1949, with comparative figures for each year back to 1942 and for the six months ended 30th June, 1941 and 1939. The following are the main points of interest: — (a) Number of " all vessels " for 1948-49 at 163 is approximately the same agfor 1947-48 (160). (b) Number of ports visited by " all vessels " during 1948-49 at 3-50 is approximately the same as for 1947-48 (3-54). (The similarity of data under the foregoing two headings would appear to indicate that their normal post-war levels have been arrived at.) "(c) Days on coast for " all vessels " for 1948-49 show a reduction of 3-84 as compared with 1947-48. The improvement is even more marked in the case of vessels loading and discharging. Here the improvement for the year is 4-98 days. As a class these vessels comprise over 60 per cent, of those covered by the return and include all vessels which would normally spend the longest periods on the coast! The real value of the improvement in turn-round time during 1948-49 is increased by the fact that over the past three years there has been a rise of almost 20 per cent, in the average total tonnages of cargo carried per vessel between New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The following are the main factors which at present affect the turn-round of shipping : —' (a) RATES OF WORK Tables are included in the Appendix (pages 30-51) showing the quantities of cargo handled and the rates of work per net gang-hour for all vessels worked under the co-operative contracting system for the years 1940-48 and for the year ended 31stMarch, 1949. The Commission's records show that not less than 80 per cent, of the wagespaid to waterside workers throughout New Zealand are in respect of cargo handled under the co-operative contracting system. These tables, therefore, can be regarded as a true indication of the general standard of work on the New Zealand waterfronts. (i) Overseas Vessels Increases in the all-ports average rates of work are shown for all classes of cargo loaded except wool, which has remained at the same rate of work as for previous years. The rate of handling mutton and lamb increased from 801 carcasses per gang per net hour in 1947-48 to 829 carcasses for 1948-49. Butter increased from 714 boxes to 722 boxesper net gang-hour. Cheese increased from 260 crates to 271 crates per net gang-hour. Frozen sundries increased from 458 freight carcasses to 476 freight carcasses per net-gang-hour. These increases, however, have not applied to all individual ports. At the

6

H—4s

Port of Auckland, for instance, there has again been a general reduction in rates of work. Butter, which fell to 742 boxes per gang per net hour in 1947-48, shows a further drop in 1948-49 to 730 boxes per gang per net hour. Small reductions also occurred in the rates of work for most other classes of cargo. At Wellington, on the other hand, good improvements have been recorded during 1948-49 on all classes of cargo loaded. Mutton and lamb, for example, has risen from 730 carcasses per gang per net hour in 1947-48 to 782 carcasses per gang per net hour in 1948-49. Improvements of a similar nature have also been recorded at the Ports of Dunedin, Napier, New. Plymouth, and Timaru. While the rates of work at Port Chalmers and Bluff are still quite satsifactory, there has been a reduction in the rates of loading meat at these two ports during 1948-49. Decreases, however, are shown in the all-port average rates of work for most ■cargoes discharged. For general cargo, the principal class, the reduction was from 12-53 tons per net gang-hour in 1947-48 to 11-85 tons per net gang-hour in 1948-49. Substantial increases in quantities of cargo handled, both inward and outward on overseas vessels, are recorded for 1947-48 and 1948-49 as compared with 1946-47, the first post-war year. The rate of discharging overseas vessels is far from satisfactory, and there is ample room for improvement. The low rate of discharge is not, however, ■entirely due to the lack of efforts by the men employed. Other factors affecting the rate of discharge are congestion of wharf and railway goods-sheds, the overloading of port facilities, particularly at the Port of Auckland, multiplicity of marks,, and .-shortages of mechanical wharf handling equipment. (ii) Coastal Vessels There have been no marked changes in the average rates of work for handling •coastwise cargo for the year 1948-49 as compared with 1947-48. On Union Steam Ship Co. vessels general cargo was handled at an average of 13-52 tons per net gang-hour for all ports in 1948-49, as compared with 13-60 tons per net gang-hour in 1947-48. For other coastal vessels the figures were 16-48 tons (1948-49), as compared with 15-94 (1947-48). The following table sets out,, for comparative purposes, the average rates of work for general cargo on both types of coastal vessel at the main ports and principal secondary ports for the three post-war years: —

H—4s

It will be noted that, for Union Steam Ship Co. vessels, Auckland is the only port which shows a rate of work below the all-port average ; and that, but for the extremelylow rate of work at Auckland, the New Zealand average for this class of vessel would be greater by several tons per net gang-hour. Steady improvements in rates of work are recorded at most other ports, but more particularly at the ports of Dunedin, Napier,, and Timaru. (b) 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, which was 729,000 tons greater than the previous year. There has been a further increase of 201,000 tons during the year ended 31st December, 1948, making a total of 8,613,000 tons. This shows an increase of 930,000 tons over the year 1946 and an increase of 448,000 over the 1938 year. The increases in berthage space and shed accommodation, particularly at the Port of Auckland, have been insufficient to meet the large increase in cargo handled and this has resulted in the overloading of port facilities and railway sendees. The shortage of berthage space at the Port of Auckland has been one of the factors responsible for vessels lying idle in the stream. While full use cannot be made of Export Wharf until grit-arresters have been installed in the King's Wharf Power-station, the use of Waikato coal has enabled a number of vessels to load freezer cargo at that wharf. (c) CONGESTION OF WHARF AND RAILWAY SHEDS : SHORTAGE OF RAILWAY TRUCKS Cargo Control Committees are performing a very useful service in preventing, asfar as possible, congestion of wharf and railway goods-sheds. There have still been occasions during the year when vessels could not be worked with the maximum number of gangs due to congestion of wharf and railway goods-sheds and to the shortage of railway wagons. Additional railway wagons are due to arrive from overseas, and the position will improve as these come to hand. The use of lorries to take delivery of bulk phosphate cargoes has been of considerable assistance. (d) INCREASE IN TONNAGES HANDLED PER VESSEL The increase in the size of new overseas ships has resulted in the handling of greater inward and outward tonnages per vessel trading to the United Kingdom. The average tonnages handled (discharged and loaded) per vessel has increased from 14,485 tons in calendar year 1946 to 17,285 tons for calendar year 1948. While the telescoping of meat introduced at the beginning of the war has resulted in the saving of 30 per cent, freezer space and has enabled greater tonnages of freezer cargo to be shipped in each vessel, investigations are now being made as to the practicability of reverting to the shipping of full carcasses. The Meat Board is anxious that this should be done at the earliest possible date in order to maintain overseas New Zealand's good name for meat, and in view of the fact that other meat-exporting countries will be discontinuing telescoping in the near future. While coastal vessels are taking much longer to turn-round to-day, they are handling approximately 50 per cent, more cargo per round trip than was handled in 1939. " This increased tonnage per round trip is not, however, sufficient to offset the additional time taken in turn-round. (e) REDUCTION IN WORKING-HOURS Prior to the establishment of the Commission in April, 1940, working-hours on the waterfront were : Mondays to Fridays, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (less two meal-hour breaks) and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (less one meal-hour break). This was a possible total of 68 hours made up of 44 ordinary hours (including 4 hours Saturday morning paid at time and one-quarter) and 24 overtime hours for each week that a vessel worked at a port.

8

H—4s

During the war period there was at one stage a peak provision of an additional 72 overtime hours per week, making a total of 140 working-hours per week. This work was divided into two shifts—day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and night from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Both shifts were seven days a week, so that a worker could possibly be required to perform 84 hours per week on day shift or 56 hours per week on night shift as compared with the pre-war total of 68 hours. The post-war working-hours approved by the Commission are : Mondays to Fridays, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon, or to 5 p.m. where a vessel can finish work at a port. This is a total of 59 hours (or 63 in case of vessel finishing), comprising 40 ordinary (Saturday morning paid for at time and one-half as from Ist August, 1946,, and thereafter treated as overtime) and 19 overtime hours, an over-all reduction of 9 working-hours as compared with the pre-war total. While the average weekly hours for all ports for the year ended 31st March, 1949, was 44f hours, men are required, particularly at main ports, to frequently work the full span of 59 hours per week. It is not possible for the shipping industry to function efficiently by restricting hours of work to a 40- or 44-hour week. The Commission is of the opinion that some form of shift system is necessary on the waterfront at the main ports. A conference of all interested, parties .was held during the year to discuss a shift system. It was found that there were a number of difficulties, particularly in regard to the servicing of ships by the Railways Department, which precluded the introduction of a shift system at that time. Shifts have been worked successfully for many years at the ports of Westport and Oreymouth. The Commission proposes to re-examine the question with a view to determining whether it is now possible to overcome the problems previosuly existing. (/) MULTIPLICITY OF MARKS The increase in the number of small packages and the multiplicity of marks of cargo discharged results in additional time in the sorting of cargo and tends to create congestion in wharf sheds. During the year meetings were held with represencatives of the New Zealand Grain, Seed, and Produce Merchants' Federation, and a system was introduced which resulted in a considerable reduction in the number of marks of potatoes and other produce. (g) SPELLING Although " spelling," or the taking of rest periods, has been in existence in the waterfront industry for many years, there has been an abuse of spelling during recent years, particularly at the Ports of Auckland, Wellington, and Lyttelton. This was brought about through the shortage of labour and consequent high average hours of work under the shift system which operated during the war years. While the Commission agrees that workers performing manual labour are entitled to reasonable rest periods, there is no justification for the continuation of any system whereby men work hour about. This practice, which has applied mainly in the loading of freezer cargoes, is a danger to the health of the worker. The Commission approves of the agreements reached by the Port Committees at Wellington and Lyttelton whereby waterside workers are allowed a " smoke-oh " break of approximately half an hour in each four-hour working-period, the workers relieving one another during the break. While there was a marked improvement at the time these agreements were made, the position later deteriorated. Shipping companies who are responsible for the supervision of waterside labour have recently taken steps to stop pay of men who are absent from the job without the permission of the foreman.

(h) LOSS OF MAN-HOURS ON THE WATERFRONT In order to obtain the relationship between the loss of man-hours on the waterfront through disputes involving stoppages of work, and loss of man-hours through accidents, sickness, penalties, and absence for other causes; the Commission has this year compiled comprehensive returns based on the availability record shown on each unionist's annual holiday card. The information on these cards, which is recorded for annual holiday purposes, credits the unionist with days on compensation up to a maximum of 144 days (24 weeks) in each leave year ending 31st July. In the case of sickness, credit is given where the worker is absent for six consecutive days or more and not exceeding 72 days (12 weeks) in each leave year, provided a medical certificate is produced. The returns have been completed on the above basis which is the only information readily available. (i) 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 year ended 31st March, 1949, the equivalent of 2-25 per cent, of the total of approximately 13,000,000 man-hours worked on the waterfront were lost through stoppages. This was an increase of 0-47 per cent, on the 1947-48 loss of 1-78 per cent. Of the total of 294,616 man-hours lost during 1948-49, 223,653 man-hours, or 76 per cent., were lost at the Port of Auckland, principally in connection with the " Mountpark " and " Broompark " hatches dispute (May-July, 1948), and the boycott of the " Northumberland " (March, 1949). The other major dispute was the series of stoppages of short duration at various ports throughout New Zealand as a protest against the interim decision of the Waterfront Industry Authority granting an increase of 2|d. per hour in the basic rate of pay as against the union's claim for Is. per hour. As an indication of the source of trouble on the waterfront, it is interesting to note that during both 1947-48 and 1948-49 all major disputes originated at the Port of Auckland. Since the Ist April,. 1949, a further major dispute, resulting in cessation of all overtime work, originated at the Port of Auckland and extended to other ports. The loss of earnings of £165,101 to waterside workers at the Port of Auckland for the period of two years four months from Ist April, 1947, represents a loss of wages of 3-08 d. per hour to all waterside workers at the port for the whole of that period. Loss of wages of £267,510 for the same period for all ports represents a loss of l-7d. per hour for all waterside workers throughout New Zealand for the period of years. (ii) Accidents Involving the Payment of Compensation . Published in the Appendix (page 76) is a return showing the loss of man-days and man-hours to unionists at all main and secondary ports on account of accidents involving the payment of compensation. It is recognized that in waterside work there is ever present an element of danger. The return now published shows that of 7,163 unionists employed during the year, 2,111, or 29| per cent., sustained accidents involving the payment of compensation. A total of 613,536 man-hours was lost during the year through these accidents, as compared with a total of 294,616 man-hours lost through disputes involving stoppages of work. It will thus be seen that the loss of man-hours through accidents is over twice the loss of man-hours through disputes. At the Port of Auckland, however, the loss of man-hours through disputes was 223,653 man-hours as compared with a loss of 141,750 man-hours through accidents. If Auckland figures are excluded, the loss of man-hours through accidents is over five times the loss of man-hours through disputes.

H—4s

The average man-hours lost per unionist employed during the year was 86 hours for all main and secondary ports. The Port of Auckland shows an average loss of -65 hours per unionist, as compared with the average of 153 hours per unionist at the Port of Wellington. During the year first-aid clinics with a qualified nurse in attendance were established at the Ports of Wellington and Lyttelton (see Section 7 (c), page 15). The Commission proposes during the forthcoming year to analyse the causes of accidents on the waterfront and to confer with all interested parties with a view to drawing attention to the main causes of accident in the industry and to adopt such additional safety precautions as may be considered necessary. (iii) Sickness, Penalties, and Absence for Other Causes Published in the Appendix (page 77) is a return showing the loss of man-days for unionists at the main arid secondary ports absent on account of sickness, penalties, compensation, and other causes. The return also shows the man-days worked which include days of availability for work when no work was offered. It will be seen from the return that, for all ports, unionists worked or were available for work on 82-83 per cent, of the total man-days for the year. The period of absence of 17-17 per cent, is accounted for by compensation, 4-16 per cent. ; sickness, 1-72 per cent.; penalties, 0-77 per cent. ; and absence for other causes, 10-52 per cent. Days of " absence for other cause " include any days absent on account of compensation and sickness for which no credit is given to the worker for annual holiday purposes. The percentage of man-days worked or available for work varies from a maximum of 94-23 per cent, for the Port of Onehunga to a minimum of 78-40 per cent, for the Port' of Wellington. 3. CO-OPERATIVE CONTRACTING (a) VALUE OF CONTRACTS AND TONNAGES HANDLED The following table summarizes the number, value, and tonnages handled under the Commission's co-operative contracting system for the three post-war years to 31st March, 1949, and the totals for the nine years of Commission control: —

While the number of contracts during 1948-49 increased by only 52 as compared with 1947-48, the increases in value and tonnages handled for the same period were £248,804 and 174,702 tons respectively. In April, 1948, the Commission introduced an incentive-payments scheme for the discharge of bulk sulphur at the Ports of Auckland, Dunedin, Port Chalmers, and New Plymouth. This scheme, which is similar to that for the discharge of bulk phosphate, commenced during 1947-48, has also shown satisfactory results both in quicker despatch of shipping and higher earnings to waterside workers for better work performed.

(<b) COSTS OF CARGO HANDLING Because of staff shortages it was not found possible to complete the figure for costs of cargo handling for 1947-48 and arrange for their publication prior to 31st March, 1949. It is now proposed to publish these tables, together with the corresponding figures for 1948-49. The value and volume of co-operative contracts for these two years, which are approximately the same, are on a higher level than that which was recorded for the five years prior to 1947-48—that is, during the war and immediate post-war period. The figures for 1947-48 and 1948-49, therefore, would appear to represent a reliable indication of post-war trading conditions. Thus their joint publication should be of especial value for comparative purposes. (c) PROFIT DISTRIBUTION Tables are included in the Appendix (pages 52-61) summarizing for 1940-48,1948-49, and with totals to date the amounts of profit distributed and averages per hour " winch " time on each class of vessel at each port where the co-operative contracting system has been in operation at any period between 1940 and 1949. The tables also include data regarding classes of contracts, total contract price, and total contract time-keepers' wages. For the year ended 31st March, 1949, the total amount of profits distributed at all ports for all vessels was £298,058, of which £246,605 was in respect of direct contracts with shipping companies and £51,453 from " equivalent" contracts with New Zealand Railways Department, Harbour Boards, &c., when waterside workers were employed by these bodies to perform work in conjunction with vessels under direct contract. As compared with 1947-48, these figures represent a total increase of £22,807. The over-all increase in rates of work per.net gang-hour recorded in Section 2 (a) (page 6) is reflected in the improvement in " winch " time rate of profit per hour. For 1948-49 this rate for all ports, all vessels, rose to 11-49 d. per hour, an increase of 0-59 d., or approximately 5J per cent, on the rate of 10-90 d. per winch-hour in 1947-48. This is the highest over-all rate per winch-hour for profit distribution recorded since the commencement of the co-operative contracting system nine years ago. The over-all rate per winch-hour for the whole period of Commission control to 31st March, 1949, now stands at 9*93 d. per winch-hour, as compared with 9-64 d. per winch-hour to 31st March, 1948. The total amount of profit distributed over the period of nine years of co-operative contracting is now £1,634,542. 4. AVERAGE HOURS OF WORK A table showing the average hours of work (ordinary and overtime) per man-week worked by unionists for the fifty-two weeks ended 27th March, 1949, is included in the Appendix (page 67). Although the total hours worked by unionists during 1948-49 have increased by over 600,000- hours, the average hours worked per week for all main and ports have decreased from 45| (33-|- ordinary and 12 overtime) in 1947-48 to 44| (33 ordinary and llf overtime) in 1948-49. General agreement with the over-all position is shown by the individual port totals. Decreases are shown at all main ports except Auckland, where there has been an increase of li hours per week in the average overtime worked. At secondary ports the decreases range up to 4| hours per week in the case of Wanganui, with noticeable increases at only three ports (1J hours per week at Napier and Oamaru and 2 hours per week at Bluff). The effect at individual ports of these decreases and increases in average hours worked per week is reflected in inverse proportion in the totals of daily and weekly guarantees for the year at these ports (see Section 6, page 14) as compared with 1947-48.

5. RATES OF PAY : AVERAGE WAGE The following returns published in the Appendix show data relating to total and average earnings of union waterside workers for the year ended 31st March, 1949 : (a) Return of Number of Unionists Employed, Wages, &c., paid, and Average Wage per man-week worked for period 1940-48, Year 1948-49, and Period 1940-49 (Appendix, page 68). (b) Return Showing Earnings of Union Waterside Workers for Year Ended 31st March, 1949, Analysed Under Income Groups (Appendix, page 69). (c) Return Showing Average Total Earnings, Profit Distributions, -fee., for Unionists with Highest Earnings for Year Ended 31st March, 1949. (Appendix, page 70). Changes in rates of pay and conditions which have affected the averages shown in these returns for 1948-49 as compared with 1947-48 are—(i) Basic hourly rate of pay increased by 2|d. per hour from 3s. Bd. to 3s. 10|d* per hour as from 14th February, 1949. This was an interim decision of the Waterfront Industry Authority on the union's application for an increase in the basic rate of pay by Is. per hour. Further consideration of the application was deferred until a decision was given on applications made to the Arbitration Court for standard wage pronouncements, or until 28th March, 1949, if a decision on those applications had not then been given. As no decision had been issued by the Arbitration Court by that date, on 29th March, 1949, the Waterfront Industry Authority issued a further decision which refused any additional increase in the interim rate awarded, but stated that if the standard wage pronouncements of the Arbitration Court provided for a greater increase than 2|d. per hour in the standard rates of pay which operated from Ist October, 1947, then there would be a prima facie case for a further increase to be granted to waterside workers. The union representatives on the Authority dissented from both of these decisions (ii) The increase from Ist October, 1947, in the basic rate of pay from 3s. Ifd. plus 4d. per hour flat-rate cost-of-living bonus to 3s. Bd. per hour (inclusive of cost-of-living bonus) operated for the whole of 1948-49 as compared with only six months in 1947-48. (iii) The extra hourly rates for handling special cargoes were revised and increased as from 7th March, 1949. No general increase had been made in these rates for over ten years, although during that period the general cargo rate of pay had been increased from time to time. The revised special cargo rates restored the relative position which existed in 1940 between the rates for handling general cargo and the rates for handling freezer and other special cargoes. The majority of the increases, including those on freezer, coal, cement, and similar commonly handled special cargoes, are 2d. per hour. Many others are Id. per hour, while it was also found necessary to completely reclassify some special cargoes in the light of experience gained since the last classification was made. The new rates now awarded had in a number of cases already been paid for some time past, either by agreement between employers and workers or by decision of Port Committees. From Return (a) it will be noted that the average wage per man-week worked at main and secondary ports for 1948-49 was £ll Is. 2d., which is 4s. Bd. per'week greater than the average for 1947-48. Provided there is no marked drop in the average hours worked per week, it can be anticipated that this average will show a further increase, in 1949-50, when the full effect of the changes in wage-rates set out above will" be reflected. Since 1947-48, which was the first full year of operation of guaranteed pay, all men who regularly sought work on the waterfront have received some earnings each week of the year. From 1947-48 onwards, therefore, the average wages per man-week worked

13

H—4s

can be regarded as the reasonably true average weekly wage for union waterside workers for the whole year. On this basis the average annual income for a regular unionist would be £575 in 1948-49, as compared with £563 in 1947-48. This assumption is borne out by reference to Return (b), " Income Groups," which shows that for 1948-49, 86 per cent, of union waterside workers are included in the groups £4OO-£7OO (that is, average £550). For 1947-48, 83 per cent, of unionists were included in these groups. It will also be noted from this return that for 1948-49 union waterside workers received a total returnable income of £3,145,158. This was approximately £250,000 greater than for 1947-48, but was shared by 173 more men. 6. GUARANTEED DAILY AND WEEKLY MINIMUM PAYMENTS This is the second full year during which the daily and weekly minimum payments scheme, which commenced from 10th March, 1947, has operated. A table is published in the Appendix (page 72) giving a summary of the payments at each port for 1948-49 and the cost per man-week worked. During the year the following alterations in rates and conditions of guarantee payments have occurred : (i) Weekly minimum payment increased by 10s. per week at all main and secondary ports, and at Awanui, Whakatane, Opotiki, and Tokomaru Bay as from 25th October, 1948. (ii) Weekly minimum payment increased by £1 per week at Whangarei as from 14th February, 1949. (iii) Consequent upon increase of 2id. per hour in basic rate of pay, the daily minimum payment at main and secondary ports became 7s. 9d. instead of 7s. 4d. as from 14th February, 1949. (iv) Introduction of guaranteed weekly minimum payment of £3 10s. per week at Motueka as from 21st February, 1949. For these reasons, and also because of the general fall in average hours of work (see Section 4, page 12), the total of £75,761 paid in daily and weekly guarantees in 1948-49 was £15,618, or approximately 25 per cent, greater than for 1947-48. Of this total, £49,744 was for daily and £26,017 for weekly guarantees. These amounts were £10,945 and £4,673 respectively. greater than during 1947-48. The average costs per man-week worked varied from 5-68 d. at Auckland to 295. 7-88 d. at Gisborne. Considerable variations are recorded at individual ports in costs for 1948-49, both total and per man-week, as compared with those for 1947-48. These variations are found in all cases to be in inverse ratio to the increases or decreases in average hours worked per man-week. 7. ACCOMMODATION AND AMENITIES . (a) WAITING-ROOM ACCOMMODATION The Commission has continued its policy of providing waiting-rooms and amenities at where it is satisfied that the finances of the Harbour Boards are such that this work cannot be undertaken by them. In accordance with this policy, modern waitingrooms were completed and officially opened at Nelson, on 17th April, 1948, and at Bluff on 16th October, 1948. Contracts have been let for the erection of waiting-rooms at the Ports of Whangarei and Tauranga. Negotiations are proceeding with the New Plymouth Harbour Board for the erection of a modern waiting-room at that port. Agreement has been reached on the plans and specifications for the new modern waiting-room at Lyttelton. A permit has been issued for the erection of this building, and it is expected that a start will be made at an early date.

H—4s

(b) CANTEEN FACILITIES While the Commission considers the Harbour Boards at the four main ports should accept the responsibility placed on them under the Harbours Act of providing waitingrooms, the Commission has agreed at these ports to meet the cost of fitting and equipping canteens, on the understanding that the cost of erecting or providing the building will be met by the Boards. In addition to the main restaurant at Auckland, the Harbour Board has provided four canteens at the various wharves, and the Commission has expended approximately £14,000 in providing fittings and equipment for their operation. At Wellington the Commission has spent approximately £9,000 in providing equipment in the main restaurant and canteen at Aotea Quay. The Wellington Harbour Board has erected a waiting-room and canteen at Taranaki Street wharf, and canteen facilities will be available in this building at an early date. The Lyttelton Harbour Board has let contracts for the erection of two canteen buildings at that port. The Commission will meet the cost of all necessary equipment, and the canteens should be in operation at an early date. During the year the Commission purchased the Harbour View Tea-rooms adjacent to the New Plymouth wharves. These tea-rooms have since been operated on behalf of the Commission for the provision of hot meals and canteen facilities for waterside workers. Canteen facilities are provided in waiting-rooms erected by the Commission at the Ports of Napier, Westport, Greymouth, Nelson, and Bluff. (c) FIRST-AID CLINICS With the full co-operation of the Division of Industrial Hygiene, Department of Health, and the Wellington Harbour Board, the Commission arranged for the establishment of a first-aid clinic on the Wellington waterfront. This clinic was opened on 3rd June, 1948, and is providing an important service to the industry. It has resulted in the saving of man-hours in the industry as workers are now able to obtain dressings and redressings at the clinic, which would otherwise have been carried out at the public hospital. The first-aid room was made available by the Wellington Harbour Board, and this Board also met the initial expenditure on equipment. The Health Department has provided the services of a qualified nurse, who is in attendance from 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. As from Ist January, 1949, the Department has also accepted the responsibility for maintenance and equipment. A first-aid clinic was opened at Lyttelton on 14th February, 1949. The Lyttelton Harbour Board provided the building, and the Health Department met the cost of the equipment and provided the services of a full-time qualified nurse. This clinic has fully justified its existence and is serving the needs not only of waterside workers, but of all other workers on or about the waterfront at Lyttelton. During the year the Commission made a grant of £4OO to the St. John Ambulance Association to assist towards the cost of purchasing a new ambulance for the Lyttelton district. Negotiations are proceeding for the establishment of a first aid clinic at the Port of Auckland. 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. This table, however, excludes approximately 450 unionists at Wellington on the Wellington Harbour Board Register.

15

H—4s

For 1948-49 a total of 4,751 unionists, or 77 per cent, of those covered by the table, received the maximum of 22 half-days (two weeks) annual holiday. This compares with 4,274 unionists and per cent, for 1947-48. A summary of the costs of granting annual holidays to waterside workers at main and second ports from August, 1944, to 3Lst March, 1949, is as follows (excluding Wellington Harbour Board) Unionists. Non-unionists. Total. £ £ •£ August, 1944, to March, 1947.. 222,066* 27,249 249,315 1947-48 .. .. .. 87,392 11,122 98,514 1948-49 .. .. .. 93,401 9,981 103,382 Totals .. .. £402,859 £48,352 £451,211 * Includes £23,790 VE Day and VJ Day (3-J- days' pay). (b) STATUTORY HOLIDAYS. The year ended 31st March, 1949, included only six paid statutory holidays instead of the usual nine. This was because Good Friday and Easter Monday, 1948, fell within the 1947-48 year and Anzac Day fell on a Sunday. Paid statutory holidays have applied on the waterfront since Ist August, 1946, for unionists, and 24th March, 1947, for non-unionists. The cost of granting such paid holidays to 31st March, 1949, is as follows : Unionists. Non-unionists. Total. £ £ £ Ist -August, 1946, to 31st March, 1947 31,358 .. 31,358 1947-48 .. .. .. .. 80,722 6,530 87,252 1948-49 .. .. .. .. 47,109 3,119 50,228 Totals .. .. .. £159,189 £9,649 £l-68,838 9. CARGO CONTROL COMMITTEES Cargo Control Committees are still in operation at the Ports of Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton (including City of Christchurch), and New Plymouth. Valuable work is still being performed by these Committees in preventing shed congestion and providing for the smooth flow of inward cargo off the wharves into merchants' stores. A table is included in the Appendix (page 97) summarizing Cargo Control Committee expenditure which has been brought to charge as at 31st March,. 1949. This expenditure falls under two main headings;— (a) Reimbursement to carriers and merchants of the difference in cost of taking delivery of cargo in overtime hours when directed to do so a Cargo Control Committee —" Overtime Expenditure, Clause 16 (2)." (b) Office costs and salaries of part-time secretaries—" Miscellaneous Expenditure, clause 16 (1)." Expenditures brought to charge at all ports under these two headings during 1948-49 was £3,440 and £1,493 respectively. In addition, there was an amount of £139 spent at Auckland in removing trans-shipment cargo, and part costs of squaring-up wharf sheds after completion of a vessel's discharge.

16

ED—45

As anticipated, the decision of the Government to extend the licensing period for 1948 to cover goods which arrived in New Zealand waters up to 28th February, 1949, -considerably alleviated the congestion which would otherwise have been experienced over the Christmas and New Year holiday period, 1948/49. 10. GOVERNMENT STORE, AUCKLAND The Commission has continued during 1948-49 to operate the previous No. 3 Cargo Control Store at Auckland as a Government store for the storage of Government goods. A table is included in the Appendix (page 97) showing the tonnages of various classes of cargo handled during the year ended 31st March, 1949. The total tonnage handled amounted to 48,682 tons, which was 2,862 tons less than that handled during 1947-48. Of the total tonnage handled, 40,280 tons, or 83 per cent., was in respect of wheat, tea, and other foodstuffs, which are the principal lines of Government goods. Goods for private consignees are only stored when the Commission is satisfied that alternative private storage is not available. The rate of handling per man-hour for the year ended 31st March, 1949, was 3-80 tons, as against 2-94 tons for the preceding year. The cost per ton handled was 2s. 3-37 d., as against 2s. 3-1 Id. for the preceding year. The increases in wages during the year have been offset by greater efficiency in the store resulting in an increase of o*B6 tons per man-hour in the rate of handling. This increased rate is mainly due to the greater use of fork-lift trucks and palette boards. The volume of cargo handled through the store during the year indicates the need fur the continuation of its operation. The Store Account shows a profit for the year of £3,630, The work has been carried out 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, 1949. The funds operated by the Commission as at 31st March, 1949, were therefore the same as those set out on page 14 of the 1947 annual report. Only one variation occurred in the rates of levies or assessments for the 1948-49 financial year. A decrease in the National Administration' Fund levy from Bd. per paid hour to 6d. per paid hour applied as from 4th October, 1948 (Order No. 65). The reasons for this reduction were given in the last year's annual report (page 20). A new peak has been reached in total income, which, at £3,696,618, is £265,603 greater than for 1947-48 and exceeds the previous peak of £3,584,366 for year ended 31st March, 1944, by £112,252. The reasons for this increase are dealt with in Section (d), Co-operative Contracts Fund. Further additions have been made to the Commission's reserve funds, and these are dealt with under the respective fund headings. Comparative figures being available for the various funds, these figures, together with the usual percentages, are included in the statements of account. In accordance with the proposal relating to depreciation contained in paragraph 1, v page 14 of last year's annual report the first step has been taken this year by writing back the accumulated depreciation on all assets and creating depreciation reserves. The assets in the balance-sheets are now shown at cost. It is proposed in the near future to invest these reserves in suitable securities to provide for ultimate renewals and replacements. In addition to the detailed statements of account for each fund included in the Appendix, a table is given (Appendix, page 95) showing in summarized from the fund totals of expenditure and income, as well as Appropriation Account headings and Accumulated Funds Accounts for the period 1940-48, 1947-48, 1948-49, and the full

17

H—4s

period of the Commission's activities, 1940-49. 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 1947-48 and past years : (i) Income and expenditure have increased by £265,603 and £255,012 respectively as compared with 1947-48. For the third year in the Commission's history both totals exceed £3,000,000. Aggregate totals for 1940-49 are now £ Income .. .. .. .. -22,773,795 Expenditure .. .. .. .. 20,773,505 (ii) Profit distributions (mainly Co-operative Contracts Fund) have increased by £22,816, or 8-28 per cent, as compared with 1947-48. The aggregate of profit distributions is now £1,591,251 for the period 1940-49 (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 87-41 per cent, of the Commission's income for 1948-49 and to 87-98 per cent, of expenditure, which is 1-74 per cent, and 0-89 per cent, respectively greater than the corresponding proportions of 1947-48 total income and expenditure. (iv) Administrative costs are equivalent to 4-11 per cent, of " total income " and 4-59 per cent, of " total expenditure," an increase of 0-27 per cent, in each case as compared with 1947-48. Details are —

(v) After appropriations, a balance of £39,088 was carried down to Accumulated Funds Account, as compared with. £10,997 for 1947-48. (b) BUILDINGS FUND (See Appendix, page 78) During the year ended 31st March., 1949, the erection of two further buildings was completed—namely, Nelson and Bluff. The official opening ceremonies were performed, at Nelson on 17th April, 1948, and at Bluff on 16th October, 1948. As mentioned earlier, depreciation has been written back on all assets, and the buildings are now shown in the balance-sheet at cost. The total cost-price, of all buildings at 31st March, 1949, was £68,299 and depreciation to the same date totalling £3,685 has been credited to Depreciation Reserve. Contracts have been let for the construction of' watersiders' waiting-rooms at the Ports of Whangarei and Tauranga. Owing to the financial position of the Habour Boards at these ports, the Commission has undertaken responsibility for their erection, the cost being in the vicinity of £5,000 for the two buildings. To provide for the estimated final cost of buildings already erected or in course

of erection as at 31st March, 1949, the Commission has appropriated a further £lO,OOO this year from National Administration Fund (see Section (e) ) to Buildings Reserve, making a total of £75,000 in that account. In accordance with the policy initiated in 1944-45, the Commission has again charged the National Administration funds of ports where buildings have been erected with a " maintenance " levy of 5 per cent, on the original capital cost to cover depreciation and major repairs and maintenance. For the year ended 31st March, 1949, these levies amounted to £2,943. After provision for depreciation (£1,625), administration charges (£73), and maintenance (£153), the balance of £1,092 has been transferred to Accumulated Funds, making a total of £2,642 available as at 31st March, 1949, to meet future repairs and maintenance charges on these buildings. (c) CONSOLIDATED (VOTE, " LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT ") FUND (See Appendix, page 94) The parliamentary grant from Consolidated Fund (vote, " Labour and Employment ") was £17,230 for 1948-49, an increase of £l5l on the 1947-48 appropriation. " Salaries " show a net increase of £786, mainly due to a rise in total of Commissioners' and Members' fees through the appointment, as from 6th December, 1948, of a parttime Authority in addition to the full-time Commission. " Travelling-expenses," on the other hand, show a reduction of £635. The net expenditure provided by way of charges on grants from Consolidated Fund for the nine years period 1940-49 now aggregates .£113,953, or an average of £12,661 per year. The estimated net expenditure for 1949-50. is £17,160. (d) CO-OPERATIVE CONTRACTS FUND (See Appendix, page 80) The Co-operative Contracts Fund total income is still increasing, and at £3,231,082 for the year ended 31st March, 1949, is £291,626 greater than the total income for year -ended 31st March, 1948. This increase is accounted for, firstly, by a greater volume of shipping and cargo handled, and, secondly, by the increase in basic rate of wages. The total number of contracts for 1948-49 was 4,179, an increase of 52 (or 1£ per cent.) on the total for 1947-48, and cargo handled amounted to 5,737,597 tons, which was 174,702 tons (or 3 per cent.) greater than 1947-48. The basic rate of wages was increased from 3s. Bd. per hour to 3s. IOJd. per hour as from 14th February, 1949, with corresponding increases in co-operative contract rates. Profit-earning income at £2,816,405 represents 87-16 per -cent, of total income, as compared with 85-69 per cent, in 1947-48 and 82-61 per cent, in 1946-47. Net profit at £325,680 is £40,149 greater than in 1947-48 and is equal to 11| per cent, on profit-earning income as compared with 11| per cent, in 1947-48. Profit distributions and grants total £303,170 for 1948-49 and are £22,454 greater than for 1947-48. This represents 93-09 per cent, of net profit, as compared with 98-31 per cent, in 1947-48. The balance of £22,510, or 6-91 per cent, of Appropriation Account has been added to accumulated funds, which at 31st March, 1949, total £62,760. The percentage assessment for administrative costs at £40,388 is £3,645 greater than for 1947-48, but, as in that year, the whole of the appropriation of £lO,OOO to Buildings Reserve has been made from National Administration Fund (see Section (e)). Both " debtors " for contracts, &c., and " deposits " against the working of overseas vessels show a decrease on 1947-48 figures —the former by £21,441 and the latter by £29,312. (e) NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION FUND (See Appendix, page 83) The sources of income of this fund remain the same as for 1947-48, but the rate of National Administration Fund levy was varied by Order No. 65, which reduced it from Bd. per paid hour to 6d. per paid hour as from 4th October, 1948. .

The levies received for year ended 31st March, 1949, amounted to £366,966, which was £31,399 less than the amount received from the same source for 1947-48. Despite the reduction in the rate, the income from levies was still £16,966 in excess of the estimated return of £350,000, but this is accounted for by the increase in waterfront work noted in 1947-48 being maintained. The analysis of income and expenditure for the 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 watersideworkers in terms of the Annual Holidays Act, 1944, is based on nine thirty-seconds of total National Administration Fund levies. For 1948-49 this proportion amounts to £103,209, which is £8,831, or 7-88 per cent., less than 1947-48. Expenditure on union and non-union holiday pay (including administration assessment of 2-| per cent, oil income as for a separate fund) increased by £4,647, or 4-59 per cent., to £105,962 as compared with 1947-48. Rates of annual holiday pay were increased by lOd. per halfday (for unionists) and 0-lOd. per paid hour (for non-unionists) as from sth October, 1947. These higher rates have applied for the full year during 1948-49 as compared with only six months in 1947-48. Following the further increase in basic rates of'pay as from 14th February, 1949 (see Rates of Pay, page 00), the rates of annual holiday pay were again raised, by 6d. per half-day (for unionists) and 0-06 d. per paid hour (for non-unionists). The net deficiency for 1948-49 was £2,753. (ii) Statutory Holidays. —The proportion of National Administration Fund levies allocated to cover statutory holiday payments is seven thirty-seconds. For 1948-49 income under this heading totalled £80,274, which is £6,868 less than for 1947-48. Expenditure for 1948-49 on union and non-union statutory holiday pay (including administration assessment of 2|- per cent, on income, as for a separate fund) totalled £52,235, which was £37,194 less than for 1947-48. The decreased expenditure is accounted for by the fact that in 1948-49 only six statutory holidays were paid for instead of eleven as in 1947-48. The normal number of paid statutory holidays is nine. In 1948-49 Anzac Day fell on a Sunday, Easter, 1948, fell in the 1947-48 accounting year, and Easter, 1949, falls in the 1949-50 year. (iii) Daily and Weekly Minimum Payments.—The proportion of National Administration Fund levies allotted to this section is the same as for annual holidays—that is,, nine thirty-seconds, equal to £103,209. This is £3,209 in excess of the amount of £lOO,OOO per annum which it was estimated would be required to finance these payments when they were first brought into operation. As the volume of work has been maintained,, the total payments made have been lighter than was estimated, and at £78,341 (including administration assessment of 2|- per cent, on income, as for a separate fund) are £21,659less than the estimate, and £15,397 greater than the same payments for 1947-48. The higher expenditure during 1948-49 is due to (a) increases in daily and weekly minimum payments and (6) reductions in average hours of work at most ports (see Average Hours of Work, page 67, and Guaranteed Daily and Weekly Minimum Payments, page 72). As in 1947-48, the Commission has deemed it advisable to increase the Guaranteed Wage Reserve (see subdivision (v), Summary) out of the net surplus of daily and weekly minimum payments account. For 1948-49 this net surplus was £24,868. A balance of £2,178 was carried forward from 1947-48, making a total available .of £27,046. Of this amount, £25,000 has been added to the Guaranteed Wage Reserve, which stands at £lOO,OOO as at 31st March, 1949. (iv) Central Pay Office, Labour Engagement Bureau, and General Administration (including Amenities). —The income allotted to this subdivision includes seven thirtyseconds of National Administration Fund Levies, the assessments on income of other Commission funds (If per cent, co-operative contracts ; 2|- per cent, other funds), parliamentary appropriation, and sundries. Including £7,167 for the assessments allowed for in Subdivisions (i) to (iii) of this section, the total administrative income for 1948-49

20

H—4s

was £147,023, as compared with £152,198 in 1947-48, a decrease of £5,175. Expenditure for 1948-49 at £134,590 represents an increase of £20,063, or 17-52 per cent., on 1947-48. While some increases are shown on most items of expenditure, it will be found that there are three classes of expenses principally affected : (a) Salaries and fees, £14,746. (b) Buildings and cafeterias (including cleaning, depreciation, and insurances},. £6,040. (c) Legal costs, £2,210. On the other hand, substantial reductions of expenditure are recorded for " Overtime,"' £2,534, and " Printing and stationery," £1,052. (v) Summary. —The total income of the National Administration Fund for the year ended 31st March, 1949, was £426,548, as compared with £455,641 for 1947-48, a reduction of £29,093. Total expenditure was £363,961, compared with £360,435 for the previous year, an increase of £3,526. Out of the net balance of £62,587, £lO,OOO has been appropriated to Buildings Reserve, £15,000 to Cafeteria Plant Purchase Reserve T and £25,000 to Guaranteed Wage Reserve, leaving a balance of £12,587 carried to Accumulated Funds Account to bring the balance of that account to £62,117. The reduction in the National Administration Fund levy from Bd. per paid hour to 6d. per paid hour which operated from 4th October, 1948, resulted in a reduction of levy income of approximately £32,000. Assuming that the volume of work during 1949-50 remains substantially the same as in 1948-49, the reduction for the full year will be in the vicinity of £65;000. While, on the basis of present levels of expenditure, it will be possible to allow for this drop in income, any material reduction in the volume of work during the current year will necessitate bringing under review the present rate of levy of 6d. per paid hour. (/) STORE FUND (See Appendix, page 88) A notable feature of the accounts for the Store Fund for the year is that, although income at £13,887 is only £lB4 in excess of the income for 1947-48, expenditure at £10,257 is £1,070 less than 1947-48. The principal reduction in expenditure is in the cost of casual storemen's wages and overtime ; increased efficiency in the handling of cargo in the store has resulted in these items being reduced from £3,802, or 33-56 per cent, of total expenses in 1947-48, to £2,896, or 28*23 per cent, of total expenses in 1948-49, despite the fact that wages were increased during the year, in accordance with a new award. The net balance carried down to Appropriation Account is £3,630, or 26-14 per cent, of total income, as compared with £2,376, or 17-34 per cent, of total income for 1947-48, an increase of £1,254. Out of this net balance £1,500 has been appropriated to Plant Purchase Reserve, leaving a balance of £2,130 carried forward to Accumulated Funds Account, which now stands at £2,852. (g) SUPERVISION FUND (See Appendix, page 91) The benefit of the increased rates of levy which came into effect on Ist December, 1947, is reflected in the increased income for 1948-49, the first complete year at the increased rates. Income at £4,927 is £1,468 greater than for 1947-48, an increase of 42-44 per cent. Expenditure shows a slight decrease from £3,625 in 1947-48 to £3,622 for 1948-49. This converts the net deficit of £166 shown in the 1947-48 account to a profit of £1,305 for the year ended 31st March, 1949.

21

H—4s

The main item of expenditure is salaries, and this shows an increase of £l4, from £3,226 in 1947-48 to £3,240 in 1948-49. All supervising foremen are engaged on a fulltime salaried basis, and as they 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. This year the distribution amounted to £389, as compared with £3BO in 1947-48, leaving a balance of £916 transferred to Accumulated Funds Account and increasing the balance of this account to £1,523, after a transfer back to Appropriation Account of £147, being the balance of surplus distribution (Auckland) paid out during 1948-49.

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 (a) 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. (b) 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.
