1. INTRODUCTION The year under review is marked by the most serious dispute which has developed on the waterfront since the introduction of Commission form of control, This dispute, which was the culmination of a series of stoppages of work in protest against the interim wage decision of the Waterfront Industry Authority, extended over a period of two months, and resulted in a loss of wages to the workers of over £120,000, and serious delays to shipping. During the period of the dispute the Government suspended Commission control at all main and secondary ports where normal hours of work were not being observed. Following a meeting between the Government and the national executive, the union, on 18th August, 1949, unconditionally directed all ports to resume normal hours of work. At the commencement of the year the union refused the request of the Government to take a secret ballot of its members to determine whether they were in favour of the continuance of Commission control, and, if so, whether they were prepared in future to abide by decisions. The Waterfront Industry Authority accordingly adjourned sine die pending clarification regarding the future of Commission control. The union issued several pamphlets attacking the Waterfront Industry Authority, and on the 26th May, 1949, the Chairman of the Authority wrote to the union representatives, Messrs. H. Barnes and T. Hill, pointing out that the Authority could not carry out its functions satisfactorily if members acted as they had done in connection with those publications when they disagreed with any decision of the Authority. The Chairman requested that each of them give an undertaking that they would in future—(a) Refrain from publishing reports of discussions which took place at meetings of the Authority when it was deliberating on matters before it; and (b) Refrain from publishing matter derogatory to the Authority or any of its members. The undertakings asked for by the Chairman were not given, and at a meeting of the Authority on 3rd June, 1949, resolutions were passed (Messrs. Barnes and Hill dissenting) calling on Messrs. Barnes and Hill to give written expressions of their regret for the publication of attacks on the Authority, and undertakings similar to those requested by the Chairman in his letter of 26th May, 1949. In the event of the expressions of regret and undertakings not being given, the Chairman was authorized to advise the Government that the Authority could not satisfactorily carry out its functions. The union instituted mandamus proceedings in the Supreme Court, asking for an order to compel the Authority to meet and determine claims lodged by the union. On the 15th July, 1949, the Court issued its decision, refusing to grant the writ of mandamus. In his Judgment the Right Hon. the Chief Justice severely criticized the actions of the union representatives on the Authority, and stated that the actions complained of resulted in the Authority ceasing to have any of the outward characteristics of a judicial authority, and the nature of relations between the members was such as to make it undesirable that it continue to try to function without the assurances asked for. The assurances were not given, and the Authority reported the matter to the Government. On 2nd September, 1949, His Excellency the Governor-General, acting on the recommendation of the Government, removed Messrs. H. Barnes and T. Hill from office as members of the Waterfront Industry Authority because of their misconduct whilst members of that Authority. The union was advised that Commission control of the waterfront would be continued, provided the members indicated by a plebiscite vote their desire for its continuance and their collective undertaking to abide by decisions ; and on these assurances being given the union could nominate two other members for the vacancies on the Authority, which could then resume its meetings. Following the change of Government, discussions were held in February, 1950, and were still in progress at the end of March. As a result of these discussions the Government announced on 24th April, 1950, that it had been decided to re-establish the Waterfront Industry Authority, and that the union would conduct a secret ballot to elect its two

H—4s

nominees. In making the announcement the Government stated that it desired to see a greater measure of good will and co-operation between the employers and workers on the waterfront. The Government intended to have further discussions with representatives of the employers' association and the union with a view to improving facilities for the better handling of cargo and the quicker movement of shipping. Notwithstanding the serious delays to shipping which occurred during the year, the carry-over of dairy-produce at the end of the season (31st July, 1950) was only 13,600 tons, as against 11,200 tons at the corresponding period last year, while production for the year was up by 4,900 tons. The carry-over of meat in cool store at the end of August, 1950, was only 56,400 tons, as against 68,600 tons at the end of August, 1949, and 83,241 tons at the end of August, 1948. Killings for export were also up by 11,900 tons on the preceding year. Of the 56,400 tons in store at the end of August, 1950, over 54,000 tons have been allocated for shipment in September and early October. The quantity of meat in the store at the end of the season is the lowest on record over the past ten years. This satisfactory position is mainly due to the additional refrigerated tonnage space available during the year. 2. DESPATCH OF SHIPPING Published in the Appendix (page 70) is a table showing the time spent in New Zealand by overseas vessels. The vessels included in this table are all those that completed loading and/or discharging during the year ended 31st March on behalf of the five main overseas lines. During 1949-50 the number of " all vessels " which completed work on the New Zealand coast was 164. This is approximately the same as for 1948-49 (163) and 1947-48 (160). The average number of ports visited by " all vessels " during 1949-50 (3-47) also shows little variation over the past three years. The total days on the coast, however, for " all vessels " have increased by 11 days, from 40-78 in 1948-49 to 51-68 in 1949-50. Of this increase, 3 days are accounted for as additional " days when cargo not worked." ' This heading includes days awaiting berths or labour, and complete stoppages of work on the waterfront through disputes. There was a greater proportion of such days in 1949-50 than in 1948-49 (see subsection (h) (i), page 9). The remaining 8 days are additional " days taken on cargo operations and steaming time between ports." Of this additional time, 2£ days is found to be due to increased tonnages handled per vessel (see Subsection (d), page 8). Other factors contributing to the longer period overseas vessels were on the coast during 1949-50 include losses of working-hours (other than days of complete stoppages of work) and reduction in average rates of work. The losses of working-hours here referred to concern days when a vessel has not worked the full normal hours because of labour disputes (such as overtime ban) or shortage of railway tiucks, &c. ; or has worked with restricted numbers of gangs because of labour shortages, shed congestion, &c. These and other general factors affecting the turn-round of shipping are dealt with more fully hereunder. (a) RATES OF WORK Tables are included in the Appendix (pages 26-49) 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 during the year ended 31st March, 1950. For comparative purposes the tables include similar information for the year ended 31st March, 1949. (i) Overseas Vessels There has been little change in the all-ports average rates of work for loading overseas vessels, except for general cargo, which has increased from 14-70 to 15*20 tons per net gang-hour, and an increase from 584 to 646 cases per net gang-hour for fruit. The discharging of general cargo, however, shows a decrease from 11-85 to 11-47 tons per net gang-hour.

In so far as individual ports are concerned, improvements in rates of work are shown at Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, Napier, and Bluff. At Auckland there have been slight improvements in most cargoes loaded, but general cargo discharged has fallen from 10*21 to 9*55 tons per net gang-hour, which is almost 2 tons per net gang-hour below the all-ports average. Reductions, some of which are substantial, have occurred in the rates of work for most cargoes handled at Wellington. Butter and cheese, for example, which were handled at the rate of 744 boxes and 279 crates respectively per net gang-hour in 1948-49, have fallen to 694 boxes and 254 crates per net gang-hour in 1949-50. Similar decreases are shown for beef and frozen meat sundries, although the reduction in the principal item of frozen produce, mutton and lamb, is only slight — from 782 running carcasses per net gang-hour in 1948-49 to 775 in 1949-50. Reductions in most rates of work are also shown at Dunedin and New Plymouth. (ii) Coastal Vessels While the all ports average rate of work for handling general cargo on Union Steam Ship Co. vessels has remained practically unchanged at 13-51 tons per net gang-hour, there has been a drop from 16-48 to 15-85 tons per net gang-hour in the all-ports general cargo average for other coastal vessels. The rates of work for handling timber have increased in most cases. Improvements are also shown in rates of work for loading coal at West Coast ports.

The following table sets out, for comparative purposes, the average rates of work for general cargo on both Union Steam Ship Co. and other coastal vessels at the main ports and principal secondary ports for the last three years :

It will be noted that there has been a slight improvement for Union Steam Ship Co. vessels during 1949-50 at Auckland, where the rate of work is still over 3 tons per net gang-hour below that of other main ports. Improvements are recorded at Napier, Nelson, and Timaru. For other coastal vessels, however, increases during 1949-50 are shown only at Lvttelton and Napier.

(b) OVERLOADING OF PORT FACILITIES During the calendar year ended 31st December, 1949, the total cargo handled through all New Zealand ports was 8,636,000 tons. Although this is only 14,000 tons greater than for 1948, it is an increase of 953,000 tons on 1946, the first post-war year, and 471,000 tons greater than 1938 figures. Harbour Boards, particularly at Auckland, have not yet been able to increase berthage space, shed accommodation, and other port facilities to enable this increase in cargo tonnage to be handled normally. Another factor is that the increased size and over-all length of new overseas vessels has resulted in only one of the newer types of vessel being able to berth at wharves at the Port of Auckland where previously two overseas ships could berth. (c) CONGESTION OF WHARF AND RAILWAY SHEDS : SHORTAGE OF RAILWAY TRUCKS There were numerous occasions during the year ended 31st March, 1950, when shortages of railway trucks have restricted the maximum output of work on ships. This position will not be improved until greater supplies come to hand of railway wagons on order from overseas and until there is an improvement in the repairing and servicing of existing wagons. Congestion of wharf and railway goods-sheds has again resulted in delays to shipping during the year. The position became acute at Auckland at the end of the import licensing period in February last. The determined efforts of the Auckland Harbour Board and Cargo Control Committee resulted in a quick improvement in the position. The release by the Government to the Auckland Harbour Board of further off-wharf storage has materially assisted in preventing further serious shed congestion. The Wellington Harbour Board has almost completed the construction of one new shed (shed 39), and has also let a contract for a large modern shed at Aotea Quay (shed 51). This shed is expected to be completed at the end of 1951, and will largely overcome delays which have been experienced during the year through shed congestion during peak periods of shipping. (d) INCREASES 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, which increased from 14,485 tons in the calendar year 1946 to 17,285 tons in the calendar year 1948, further increased to 18,502 tons last year. It is estimated that this latest increase accounts for an additional two and a half days in the turn-round of overseas,ships. The Government has decided to cease the telescoping of mutton and lamb as from Ist October next. This will result in approximately 30 per cent, less quantity of mutton and lamb being shipped in each vessel, and it will require an additional fifteen ships to carry the same quantity in full carcasses. It is estimated, however, that there will be a saving of at lease two days in the loading of overseas ships, and provided the Railways Department is able to maintain a regular flow of refrigerated produce to vessels, the Commission considers that with the present availability of labour and berthage facilities, no difficulty should be experienced in loading the additional vessels. (e) MULTIPLICITY OF MARKS The increase in the number of small packages, the multiplicity of marks of cargo discharged, and the indistinct marking of packages results in additional time in the sorting and stacking of cargo in wharf sheds. Shipowners have been requested to confer with consignors to bring about a reduction in the number of separate marks of standard lines. Some improvement in this respect has already been achieved.

(/) SHORTAGES OF LABOUR Delays to shipping were experienced during the year through shortages of waterside labour, and steps were taken to increase the membership of branches at the ports of Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Napier, and New Plymouth. It is expected that the increased membership will overcome any further major delays to shipping on this account. There is a shortage of deckmen at the ports of Auckland and Wellington, and efforts are being made to obtain men to undertake this work. (g) SPELLING The position regarding " spelling " or the taking of unreasonable rest periods has not materially altered during the year and still remains a problem to be overcome on the waterfront, particularly at the ports of Auckland, Wellington, and Lyttelton. During the year, shipping companies, who are responsible for the supervision of waterside labour, took steps to remedy the position. While an improvement was brought about at that time, it has not been maintained. As indicated in previous reports, the Commission agrees that workers performing manual labour are entitled to reasonable rest periods, but the present system of " spelling " is not in the interests of the workers themselves or the industry as a whole. (h) LOSS OF MAN-HOURS ON THE WATERFRONT Tables are included in the Appendix to illustrate the principal losses of man-hours on the waterfront. While the most direct cause of such losses is disputes involving stoppages of wages, the greatest losses are from indirect causes—namely, depletion of the regular labour force through accidents, involving the payment of compensation, and absences on account of sickness, penalties, and other causes. The information regarding accidents and absences is compiled from unionists' annual holiday cards, which record days on compensation up to a maximum of 144 days (24 weeks) and days of sickness, where the worker is absent for 6 consecutive days or more, up to 72 days (12 weeks) m each leave year ending 31st July. This is the only information of this nature readily available. (i) Disputes Involving Stoppages of Work (Appendix, page 74) The man-hours lost on the waterfront through disputes during the year ended 31st March 1950 (591,624), were more than double those lost on this account during the year ended 31st March, 1949 (294,616). For 1949-50 the percentage of man-hours lost to total man-hours worked rose to 3-83, as compared with 2-25 durmg 1948 49. One dispute, the " Barnhill " and " overtime ban," accounted for almost 75 per cent, of the man-hours lost. This dispute started at Auckland on 27th June, 1949, and spread to most other ports between 18th and 26th July, 1949. It was not terminated until 18th August, 1949. Except for the final week at Auckland, there was no complete stoppage of work during this dispute. The union refused overtime work on week-nights, Mondays to Fridays. This is reflected in the higher total of wages lost m proportion to man-hours lost for 1949-50 as compared with 1948-49. Once again the Port of Auckland stands out pre-eminent as the principal source of stoppages of work on the waterfront. The totals for Auckland, both for man-hours and wages lost, account for over 55 per cent, of the totals for all ports. The wages lost at Auckland through disputes are equal to 4£d. per hour for each man-hour worked during 1949-50, which, on the average of forty-six hours per man-week worked, is equivalent to 16s. 3|d. per worker per week. For all ports the corresponding averages are 2-45 d. per hour and 9s. l|d. per worker per week.

(ii) Accidents Involving the Payment of Compensation (Appendix, page 76) The incidence of accidents in waterfront work is illustrated by the fact that, of 7,431 unionists employed during the year ended 31st March, 1950, 2,059, or 27-7 per cent., sustained accidents which involved the payment of compensation. This is a lower percentage than for 1948-49, when the corresponding figure was 29| per cent. The total man-hours lost during 1949-50 (592,985) were also less than for 1948-49 (613,536). With the extension of first-aid clinics on the waterfront and investigation into the causes and prevention of accidents, it is hoped to still further reduce the prevalence of accidents to waterside workers. (iii) Sickness, Penalties, and Absence foe Othek Causes (Appendix, page 77) The availability for work of union waterside workers has improved slightly during the year ended 31st March, 1950. The days unionists were working or available for work (W) has increased from 82-83 per cent, in 1948-49 to 83-14 per cent, for 1949-50 for all ports. There is still a marked variation in availability at main ports as compared with secondary ports, although improvements in availability have been shown at all main ports except Port Chalmers. North Island secondary ports, except Wanganui, show decreases in availability, while the reverse is the position for South Island secondary ports, except Nelson. The highest records of availability for 1949-50 were at Westport (96-10 per cent.) and Wanganui (95-15 per cent.), while the lowest figures were recorded at Wellington (78-49 per cent.) and Auckland (80-11 per cent.). Reductions in all-ports percentages are shown for compensation, sickness, and absence (for other causes), but there was a slight increase in the percentage of penalties. 3. CO-OPERATIVE CONTRACTING (a) VALUE OF CONTRACTS AND TONNAGES HANDLED

The following table summarizes the number, value, and tonnages handled under theCommission's co-operative contracting system during the past three years, and the totals, for the ten years of Commission control: —

The reduction in number of contracts and tonnages handled during 1949-50, ascompared with previous years, is accounted for by the fact that for periods varying from eight weeks at Auckland, and four to five weeks at other ports, the co-operative contract system was suspended during the " Barnhill " —" overtime ban" disputes, 27th June to 18th August, 1949. Allowing for this period of suspension of the contracting system, on a proportionate basis the figures for the whole year for number of contracts and tonnages handled would have been slightly in excess of those for 1948-49. The increase in value of contracts during 1949-50, as compared with 1948-49, despite the reduction in number of contracts, is due to the rises in basic rates of wages, and hence in co-operative contract rates.

(Ib) COSTS OF CARGO HANDLING Through printing delays the tables showing costs per ton of cargo handling under the co-operative contract system for the years 1947-48 and 1948-49 have only recently been published. Included with the tables are comprehensive explanatory notes on— A. Basis on which costs compiled. B. Increases in basic rates of remuneration. C. Adjustments for comparative purposes. These notes will be included and brought up to date in future issues of cost tables. As stated in last year's report, the Commission considers that the figures from 1947-48 onwards represent a reliable indication of post-war trading conditions. The cost tables for 1949-50, therefore, will include for comparative purposes the average costs per ton for cargo handling from 1947 to 1949. (c) PROFIT DISTRIBUTION The tables included in the Appendix (pages 50-59) summarize for 1940-49, 1949-50, and 1940-50 the principal figures in relation to profit distributions earned under the co-operative contract system at each port where the system has been in operation for any period during the past ten years, and for all ports. The averages per hour -(Commission) are the rates of profit distribution on " winch " or cargo-working time, which is the only part of waterfront work at present covered by the contracting system. They reflect the improvements or falling-off in cargo-handling time as shown by the ■" winch " time rates of work per net gang-hour (see Appendix, pages 28-49). For the year ended 31st March, 1950, the total amount of profits distributed at all ports for all vessels was £278,387, which was a reduction of £19,671 as compared with 1948-49. This decrease was principally on account of the lesser volume of work under co-operative contract, as explained in Section (a) above. The total of profit distributions under the system during the ten years it has been in operation is now £1,912,928. This represents 10| per cent, of the total contract price of £18,124,512 for the same period. The average profit distribution per winch-hour for all ports has decreased from 11-49 d. in 1948-49 to 11-45 d. for 1949-50. Individual port averages, however, vary considerably according to the standard of work. The highest averages for the year 1949-50 are at Westport (2s. 11-13 d coal-loading work on coastal vessels), Port Chalmers (2s. 3-06 d.—overseas vessels only), and Timaru (2s. l-78d.—all classes of vessels handled). All other ports except Auckland, Wellington, and Gisborne were above the all-port average. At Auckland the average was only 7-41 d. per winch-hour, and at Wellington the rate was 9-65 d. It will be seen, therefore, that the co-operative contract system does provide an incentive to greater output of work. It is largely in the hands of the men at each port as to just how great an increase in earnings they can obtain through faster work. 4. AVERAGE HOURS OF WORK (Appendix, page 66) The total average hours worked per week by unionists for 1949-50 for all ports was 44§ hours, which is the same as for 1948-49. There has, however, been an increase of -J hour in the ordinary hours average for 1949-50, with a corresponding decrease in the average for overtime hours. The total hours worked by unionists paid through the Commission's Central Pay Offices have increased by hours during 1949-50. Although the all-ports average has remained stable, there have been many changes in individual port averages during 1949-50 as compared with 1948-49. At only one port, Lyttelton, have the figures remained the same. Increases are shown at eight ports, including Wellington (l| hours), and range from I hour at Dunedin to 3| hours atWanganui and 4 hours at Gisborne. The remaining eight ports, including Auckland (1| hours), show decreases varying from J hour at Nelson to 3 hours at Port Chalmers and 3| hours at Oamaru. These fluctuations in average hours are reflected in costs of daily and weekly guarantees (see Section 6, page 12).

5. RATES OF PAY : AVERAGE WAGE (Appendix, pages 67-69) The all-ports average earnings per week worked (Return " A ") for unionists paid through the Commission's Central Pay Offices increased by 16s. 2d. to £ll 17s. 4d. for 1949-50 as compared with 1948-49. Over the past two years there has been an increase of £1 os. lOd. per week worked in the all-ports averages of unionists earnings. General factors which have affected the averages for 1949-50 as compared with 1948-49 are — (a) The increase in basic hourly rate of pay of 2|d. per hour from 14th February, 1949, and revised hourly rates for handling special cargoes as from 7th March, 1949, have applied for the full year in 1949-50, as compared with only a few weeks in 1948-49. (b) A further increase in the basic hourly rate of pay of l|d. per hour from 3s. 10|d. to 4s. per hour was granted by the Waterfront Industry Authority as from Ist June, 1949. (c) Variations in average hours of work per week at individual ports (see Section 4, page 11). (d) Variations in average rates of work per net gang-hour, which are reflected in amounts of profit distributed per hour under the co-operative contract system. Increases in average earnings are shown at all ports except Oamaru, where the substantial reduction in average hours of work offset the rises in basic hourly rate of pay. At main ports thfi increases ranged from ss. 9d. at Port Chalmers to £1 7s. 2d. at Wellington. For secondary ports the increases were from ss. lOd. at Bluff to £1 13s. at Gisborne and £1 15s. lOd. at Wanganui. The total number of men included in the analysis of unionists' earnings under income groups (Return " B ") for 1949-50 has increased by 265 to 7,446 as compared with 1948-49, while total earnings have risen by £274,425 to £3,419,583. Men who earned £4OO and over during 1949-50 account for 71 per cent, of the total number of unionists employed and 89 per cent, of the total earnings, the average earnings for these men being £577 per year. These figures compare with 69 per cent, of the total number of unionists employed who earned over £4OO in 1948-49, who received 86 per cent, of the total earnings at an average of £545 per year. In Return " C," averages are given for unionists with highest earnings to indicate the number of weeks and hours per week (ordinary and overtime) which were worked in order to obtain these earnings. It will be noted that at all ports regular waterside workers are working or available for work for 50 or more weeks of the year (which includes two weeks' absence on annual holiday). 6. GUARANTEED DAILY AMD WEEKLY MINIMUM PAYMENTS (Appendix, page 71) During the year ended 31st March, 1950, there were only two changes in the conditions concerning daily and weekly minimum payments : (i) Weekly guarantee was extended to the Port of Tauranga as from 4th April, 1949 —amount of guarantee, £4 per week. (ii) Daily minimum payments were increased from 7s. 9d. to Bs. as from Ist June, 1949, following the increase in basic hourly rate of pay of per hour ordinary time. Average hours of work, however, have increased during 1949-50 at many ports where substantial daily and weekly minimum payments were made for 1948-49 (see .Section 4, page 11). This factor, combined with the higher level of average earnings during 1949-50 as compared with 1948-49 (see Section 5, page 12), has resulted in a reduction of £15,819 in the total of daily and weekly minimum payments for 1949-50 (£59,942) as compared with 1948-49 (£75,761).

The ports with highest costs per man-week worked by unionists for 1949-50 were : Main ports .. .. .. Port Chalmers (9s. 5-76 d.). Secondary ports .. .. Oamaru (325. 3-31 d.), Greymouth (225. 6-71 d.)> Gisborne (225. 5-71 d.) and Westport (19s. 8-53 d.). Minor ports .. .. .. Tokomaru Bay (225. 4-20 d.) and Tauranga (10s. 9-19 d.). The all-ports cost per man-week worked by unionists has fallen from ss. 6-49 d. in 1948-49 to 4s. 3-48 d. for 1949-50. 7. ACCOMMODATION AND AMENITIES (a) WAITING-ROOM ACCOMMODATION During the year a modern waiting-room was completed and officially opened at Tauranga on 4th February, 1950. The work on a new waiting-room at Whangarei was substantially completed during the year, and was officially opened in April, 1950. Agreement has now been reached with the New Plymouth Harbour Board for the erection of a modern waiting-room which should meet the needs of that port for many years to come. Due to difficulties in obtaining possession of the site in Norwich Quay, the Lyttelton Harbour Board made no progress in the erection of the new waiting-room. The Board has now decided to revert to the original site at shed 5, and plans and specifications are being finalized. It is hoped that this building will be completed before next winter. The Commission is also arranging for the enlarging and modernizing of the existing waiting-room at Timaru. (b) CANTEEN FACILITIES During the year the Taranaki Street Wharf canteen at Wellington was opened, and the Commission met expenditure at that port of approximately £2,500 in equipping this canteen and making improvements to the main restaurant. The two canteens erected by the Lyttelton Harbour Board were put into operation during the year, and equipped by the Commission at a cost of £1,500. Negotiations were entered into with the Otago Harbour Board for alterations to be made to the Dunedin waiting-room to provide canteen facilities. The Commission has up to date spent almost £30,000 towards providing canteen facilities at ports where these facilities were not already included in modern waiting-rooms erected by the Commission. (c) FIRST-AID FACILITIES The first-aid clinics at the ports of Wellington and Lyttelton have fully justified their establishment and have resulted in a considerable saving of man-hours in the industry, as workers are able, through the clinics, to obtain dressings and re-dressings which would otherwise have been carried out at the public hospitals. During the year waterside workers at a number of ports have undertaken first-aid training courses, and the Commission has met any financial loss to workers who have regularly attended lectures. In order to minimize cuts and abrasions to hands of waterside workers and reduce the loss of man-hours through this cause, the Commission during the year made available, at a subsidized price, supplies of industrial gloves for purchase by waterside workers. It is pleasing to note that a large percentage of waterside workers have purchased these gloves. 8. ANNUAL HOLIDAYS AND STATUTORY HOLIDAYS (Appendix, pages 72) (a) ANNUAL HOLIDAYS For the annual holiday year ended 31st July, 1949, a total of 80 per cent, of unionists paid through the Commission's Central Pay Offices qualified for the maximum holiday pay of 22 half-days. This compares with 77 per cent, for the year ended 31st July, 1948, and is a further indication of the greater regularity of attendance of unionists for work during 1949-50 (see Section 2 (h) (iii), page 10).

13

H—4s

The cost of annual holidays for waterside workers has increased during 1949-50 not only because of the greater number of workers employed, but also through increases in the basic rate of pay (see Section 5, page 12). The following is a summary of costs for the last three financial years : Unionists. Non-unionists. Total. Year ended 31st March — £ £ £ 1948 .. .. .. 87,392 11,122 98,514 1949 .. .. .. 93,401 9,981 103,382 1950 .. .. .. 101,611 12,258 113,869 £282,404 £33,361 £315,765 (b) STATUTORY HOLIDAYS A comparison of annual costs of granting paid statutory holidays to waterside workers is difficult owing to the varying number of such holidays which fall within each financial year. The normal number for each calendar year is nine days. The year 1949-50 was a normal one, but 1948-49 included only six days, while in 1947-48 there was eleven paid holidays. The following is a summary of costs for the last three financial years Unionists. Non-unionists. Total. Year ended 31st March — £ £ £ 1948 (11 days) .. .. 80,722 6,530 ■ 87,252 1949 (6 days) .. .. 47,109 3,119 50,228 1950 (9 days) .. ..75,924 6,277 82,201 £203,755 £15,926 £219,681 9. CARGO CONTROL COMMITTEES (Appendix, page 99) The year ended 31st March, 1950, has been a difficult one for Cargo Control Committees, particularly at Auckland and Wellington. Shed congestion has been a constant problem, and would have led to greater hold-ups to shipping and the community generally but for the splendid work performed by the Cargo Control Committees and their officers. The value of having special Committees of this nature, which are representative of all interests concerned, was amply demonstrated during the emergency which arose at the Port of Auckland in March, 1950. On the recommendation of the Cargo Control Committee, the Government appointed a temporary full-time administrative officer to arrange and supervise the clearance of cargo from wharf sheds to merchants' stores or other off-wharf storage. As part of their duties, Cargo Control Committees are responsible for authorizing reimbursement from Government funds to carriers and merchants of the difference in cost of taking delivery of cargo in overtime hours; also for full cost of shifting cargo off the wharves to prevent congestion, if reasonable notice cannot be given to the owners of the goods. Expenditure brought to charge under these headings during 1949-50 amounted to £3,368, as compared with £3,579 in 1948-49. Miscellaneous expenditure (office costs and salaries of part-time or full-time secretaries) was £973 in 1949-50, as against £1,493 in 1948-49. 10. GOVERNMENT STORE, AUCKLAND (Appendix, page 99) A total of 58,110 tons of cargo was handled during the year ended 31st March, 1950, in the store operated by the Commission at Auckland. This was 9,428 tons more than for 1948-49. This store is primarily for Government goods such as wheat, tea, and other foodstuffs, which would otherwise have to be left in wharf sheds and so impede the

14

H—4s

working of ships. These cargoes comprised 52,498 tons, or over 90 per cent, of the total handled in the store during 1949-50, as compared with 83 per cent, in 1948-49. During the year the Commission undertook on behalf of the Wheat Committee the bagging of bulk wheat for use as poultry-food. A total quantity of 4,367 tons was bagged. The cost per ton handled during 1949-50 was reduced to 2s. 0-58 d., as compared with 2s. 3-37 d. in 1948-49. The store was operated during the year at a profit of £5,297. 11. ACCOUNTS {a) GENERAL There have been no changes either in the nature or in the number of the Commission's funds for the year ended 31st March, 1950. Summarized, the funds operated by the Commission as at 31st March, 1950, were as follows : Name of Fund. Date from which Fund Operative. Buildings .. .. .. .. .. Ist April, 1944. Consolidated (Vote, "Labour and Employment") 9th April, 1940. Co-operative Contracts .. .. .. 10th July, 1940. National Administration .. .. .. 10th March, 1947. Store .. .. .. .. .. Ist August, 1946. Supervision .. .. .. .. 29th April, 1942. Detailed statements of account for each of these funds are included in the Appendix. In addition, a table is given (Appendix, page 97) showing in summarized form the fund totals of expenditure and income as well as Appropriation Account headings and Accumulated Funds Accounts for the periods 1940-49, 1948-49, 1949-50, and the full period of the Commission's activities, 1940-50. Percentages are shown in each case to indicate the relation of each fund to the total operations of the Commission. Again total income has reached a new peak, and at £3,965,927 is £269,309 greater than for 1948-49. 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. The following points are of interest as compared with 1948-49 and past years:— (i) Income and expenditure have increased by £269,309 and £357,053 respectively as compared with 1948-49. Aggregate totals for 1940-50 are now — £ Income .. .. .. .. 26,739,722 Expenditure .. .. .. .. 24,432,882 (ii) Profit distributions (mainly Co-operative Contracts Fund) have decreased by £19,658 as compared with 1948-49. The reason for this decrease is dealt with in Section (d), Co-operative Contracts Fund. The aggregate of profit distributions is now £1,870,040 for the period 1940-50 (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 89-34 per cent, of the Commission's income for 1949-50 and to 88-37 per cent, of expenditure, which is 1-93 per cent, and 0-39 per cent, respectively greater than the corresponding proportions of 1948-49 total income and expenditure.

(iv) Administrative costs are equivalent to 3-83 per cent, of " total income " and 4-15 per cent, of " total expenditure," a decrease of 0-28 per cent, and 0-44 per cent, respectively :

(v) After appropriations, it was necessary to transfer £30,472 back from Accumulated Funds Account to Appropriation Account. The reason for thie transfer is given in Section (e), National Administration Fund. (b) BUILDINGS FUND (see Appendix, page 78) During the year ended 31st March, 1950, the erection of one further building was completed —namely, Tauranga —the official opening ceremony being performed on 4th February, 1950. Additional expenditure on works in progress on a building at Whangarei amounted to £1,894.

The total cost of buildings erected or in progress as at 31st March, 1950, was £73,354. The following buildings are included in this total: —

Future commitments include the building of modern assembly halls and offices at the ports of New Plymouth and Oamaru, and alterations to an assembly hall at the port of Timaru. The estimated expenditure by the Commission on these buildings will be approximately £30,000 and to provide towards their cost the Commission has appropriated a further £20,000 from National Administration Fund (see Section (e)) to Buildings Reserve, making a total of £95,000 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 (with the exception of Tauranga and Whangarei, where these charges are met by the respective Harbour Boards). 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 the 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 for the year ended 31st March, 1950, credited to Buildings Fund Revenue Account was £3,448 ; of this amount, £373 was spent on maintenance, &c., £1,926 set aside for depreciation, £B6 represents the Commission's internal administration assessment of per cent, on fund incomes, and the balance of £1,063 has been transferred to Accumulated Funds Account. This makes a total of £3,705 available to meet future repairs and maintenance charges on buildings. (c) CONSOLIDATED (VOTE, " LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT") FUND (see Appendix, page 96) The parliamentary grant from Consolidated Fund (vote " Labour and Employment ") Avas £17,160 for 1949-50, a reduction of £7O on the 1948-49 appropriation. The net expenditure provided by way of charges or grants from Consolidated Fund for the ten years 1940-50 now aggregates £131,113, or an average of £13,111 per year. The estimated expenditure for 1950-51 is £18,777, less a surplus of £2,952 from 1949-50, leaving a net estimated expenditure of £15,825. (d) CO-OPERATIVE CONTRACTS FUND (see Appendix, page 80) The Co-operative Contracts Fund total income has increased to £3,543,272 for the year ended 31st March, 1950, which is £312,190 greater than the total income for year ended 31st March, 1949. This increase is accounted for mainly by the increase in basic rate of wages, which rose from 3s. 10|d. per hour to 4s. per hour from Ist June, 1949, with corresponding increases in co-operative contract rates. The total number of contracts for 1949-50 was 3,850 a decrease of 329 (or nearly 8 per cent.) on the total for 1948-49, and cargo handled amounted to 5,325,873 tons, which was 411,724 tons (or 7 per cent.) less than 1948-49. These decreases are accounted for by the fact that, owing to the waterside workers refusing to work overtime, the Commission's Order was suspended at the Port of Auckland on 30th June, 1949, ports of Wellington, Lyttelton, and Bluff on 19th July, 1949, ports of Dunedin and Port Chalmers on 21st July, 1949, and all other ports under the Commission's jurisdiction on 26th July, 1949. The Suspension Order was revoked as from 21st August, 1949, and in the meantime all vessels were worked non-contract—-that is, on a wage basis. This mainly accounts for the increase in non-contract income from £413,835 to £673,259. The period of suspension of the Order is further reflected in the lower percentage of profit-earning income, which at £2,869,125 represents 80-97 per cent, of total income, as compared with 87-16 per cent, in 1948-49. Net profit at £309,422 is £16,258 less than in 1948-49 and is equal to lOf per cent, on profit-earning income, as compared with 11| per

17

H—4s

cent, in 1948-49. The lower net profit is a further reflection of the " suspension period,'' whilst the lower profit rate is in line with the 2 • 43 per cent, decline on over-all rates of work recorded in the overseas loading summary (Appendix, page 27). Profit distributions, and grants total £284,620 and are £18,550 less than for 1948-49. This represents 91-98 per cent, of net profit, as compared with 93-09 per cent, in 1948-49. The balance of £24,802, or 8-02 per cent., of Appropriation Account has been added to accumulated funds, which at 31st March, 1950, total £87,562. The percentage assessment for administrative costs at £44,291 is £3,903 greater than for 1948-49, but, as in that year, and also in 1947-48, the whole of the appropriation of £20,000 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 an increase on 1948-49 figures—the former by £30,449 and the latter by £1,439. (e) NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION FUND (see Appendix, page 84) The income of this fund is derived from a levy at the rate of sixpence (6d.) per paid labour-hour and is a flat rate applicable equally to ordinary and overtime, union and non-union, hours. When the fund was created on 10th March, 1947, the rate of levy was fixed at eightpence (Bd.) per hour and was estimated to yield £350,000 per annum, but as a result of the great increase in waterfront work during 1947-48 the total income for that year reached £398,365. As a result of this, the rate of levy was varied by Order No. 65, which reduced it from Bd. per hour to 6d. per hour as from 4th October, 1948. This reduction resulted in the income from levies being reduced to £366,966 for the year ended 31st March, 1949. The levies received for the year ended 31st March, 1950, amounted to £318,046, which was £48,920 less than the amount received in 1948-49, and has resulted in a net loss of £9,952 for the year, prior to the appropriation of reserves. Since the reduction in the rate of levy in October, 1948, there have been the following increases in wages expenditure : (a) Guaranteed weekly minimum payments increased by 10s. per week as from 25th October, 1948. (b) Basic rate of wages increased by 2|d. per hour as from 14th February, 1949. (c) Basic rate of wages increased by l|d. per hour as from Ist June, 1949. (d) Basic rate of wages increased by 3d. per hour as from Bth May, 1950. The increases under headings (a), (b), and (c) are reflected in the additional expenditure of £26,315 for wages, annual holidays, &c., in 1949-50, as compared with 1948-49. The recent'increase of 3d. per hour is expected to cost a further £16,000 during 1950-51. Despite the several award increases in the salary scale of clerical officers since October,. 1948, and other general increases in cost of office supplies, it will be noted that the Commission has been able to maintain its total expenditure on office administration at approximately the same figure for 1949-50 as was expended for 1948-49. It is estimated, however, that the recent interim wage order of the Court of Arbitration will mean at least an additional £4,000 per annum for salaries, and increased costs will also be experienced in regard to other office expenditure, particularly in regard to cleaning, heating and lighting, printing and stationery, and telephone charges. For the year ended 31st March, 1950, the Commission has been forced to use up all the available balance of accumulated funds of previous years to provide for its commitments in regard to capital expenditure. The balance of accumulated funds as at 31st March, 1949, was £62,117. An amount of £59,952 has been transferred back to Appropriation Account, leaving a balance as at 31st March, 1950, in this account of only £2,165.

H—4s

Summarizing the foregoing, the Commission finds that it requires approximately an additional £55,000 of revenue during 1950-51 in order to meet the requirements of the National Administration Fund for this year. This is arrived at as follows £ Annual loss on existing levels of revenue and expenditure .. 10,000 Additional costs of wages for annual holidays, &c. .. 16,000 Additional costs for salaries .. .. • • •• 4,000 Appropriation required for Buildings and Cafeteria Reserve 2-5,000 £55,000 In order to make provision for the additional revenue the Commission was compelled to review the rate of levy, and, as a result, Order No. 89 was issued raising the rate of levy from sixpence (6d.) per hour to sevenpence (7d.) per hour as from 10th July, 1950. On the basis of the 1949-50 volume of work, this increase in levy is estimated to produce an additional £40,000 of income for the balance of the 1950—51 financial year. 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 waterside workers in terms of the Annual Holidays Act, 1944, is based on nine thirty-seconds of total National Administration Fund levies. For 1949-50 this proportion amounts to £89,450, which is £13,759, or 13-33 per cent., less than 1948-49. Expenditure on union and non-union holiday pay (including administration assessment of 2| per cent, on income as for a separate fund) increased by £10,143, or 9'57 per cent., to £116,105 as compared with 1948-49. Rates of annual holiday pay were increased by 6d. per half-day (for unionists) and o*o6d. per paid hour (for non-unionists) as from Ist June, 1949. The net deficiency for 1949-50 was £26,655. (ii) Statutory Holidays.—The proportion of National Administration Fund levies allocated to cover statutory holiday payments is seven thirty-seconds. For 1949-50, income under this heading totalled £69,573, which is £10,701 less than for 1948-49. Expenditure for 1949-50 on union and non-union statutory holiday pay (including administration assessment of 2|- per cent, on income, as for a separate fund) totalled £83,940, which was £31,705 more than for 1948-49. The reasons for this increase are (a) the normal number of nine statutory holidays fell within the year 1949—50, as compared with only six during 1948-49, and (b) the increase of Is. per day for seven of the holidays. (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 £89,450. The expenditure amounted to £62,180 (including administration assessment of 2-| per cent, on income, as for a separate fund), this being a reduction of £16,161 on the payments made in 1948-49. The reduction is due in part to the suspension of the Commission's Order, during which period no guaranteed payments were made, and in part to the increase in the average hours of work at secondary ports, where minimum payments are heaviest (see also Section 6, page 12). (iv) Central Pay Office, Labour Engagement Bureau, and General Administration t(lncluding Amenities). —The income allotted to this subdivision includes seven thirtyseconds of National Administration Fund levies, the assessments on income of other ■Commission funds (1£ per cent, co-operative contracts; 2| per cent, other funds), parliamentary appropriation, and sundries. Including £6,211 for the assessment allowed for in Subdivision (i) to (iii) of this section, the total administrative income for 1949-50 was £138,669, as compared with £147,023 in 1948-49, a decrease of £8,354. It is gratifying to note that, despite an increase in award salary rates as from Ist June, 1949, and higher costs of printing, stationery, cleaning, &c., expenditure for 1949-50, at £134,869, represents an increase of only £279, or 0-21 per cent., on 1948-49.

(v) Summary.—The total income of the National Administration Fund for the year ended 31st March, 1950, was £380,930, as compared with £426,548 for 1948-49, a reduction of £45,618. Total expenditure was £390,883, compared with £363,961 for the previous year, an increase of £26,922. This has resulted in a net deficit of £9,952 on the year's working. _ . To provide for commitments in respect of waiting-room accommodation and canteen facilities (see Section 7, page 13), the Commission has appropriated a further £20,000' to Buildings Reserve and £5,000 to Cafeteria Plant Purchase Reserve for the year ended 31st March, 1950. This is in accordance with the Commission's policy of providing specific reserves for major headings of capital expenditure, and thereby showing the true balance of accumulated funds. In the past, however, no reserve fund has been provided for capital expenditure on office equipment (including motor-cars), which to 31st March, 1950, has amounted to £30,050. For the year ended 31st March, 1950, therefore, the Commission has appropriated £25,000 to an Office Equipment Purchase Reserve. This leaves over £5,000 still to be appropriated to this reserve out of future revenue surpluses in order to meet capital expenditure to date under this heading. Accumulated funds as at 31st March, 1949, amounted to £62,117. Of this balance, £59,952 has been transferred back to Appropriation Account in order to cover the loss of £9,952 on the year's working and to provide £50,000 for the appropriation to reserve funds. This leaves a balance of only £2,165 in accumulated funds as at 31st March, 1950. (/) STORE FUND (see Appendix, page 90) The accounts for the Store Fund contine to reveal a buoyant position. Income for the year at £16,346 is £2,459 greater than for 1948-49, whilst expenditure has increased by only £792 to £11,049. The principal increase in expenditure is in the cost of casual storemen's wages and overtime, which has increased from £2,896. or 28-23 per cent, of total expenses, in 1948-49 to £3,963, or 35-87 per cent, of total expenses, in 1949-50. The increase in this item of expenditure is offset by the increase in " handling " income, which has increased from £5,163, or 37-18 per cent, of total income, in 1948—49 to £7,749, or 47-41 per cent, of total income, in 1949-50. The net balance carried down to Appropriation Account is £5,297, or 32-41 per cent, of total income, as compared with £3,630, or 26-14 per cent., for 1948-49, an increase of £1,667. Out of this net balance, £2,000 has been appropriated to Plant Purchase Reserve, leaving a balance of £3,297 carried forward to Accumulated Funds Account, which now stands at £6,149. (g) SUPERVISION FUND (see Appendix, page 93) Owing to the failure of the Waterside Workers' Union at the Port of Greymouth to agree to the Commission's right to appoint its own foremen, Commission responsibility for the supervision of waterfront labour at that port ceased on 27th March, 1950. The income of the fund for the year showed a reduction of £157, from £4,927 in 1948-49 to £4,770 in 1949-50, whilst expenditure rose by £428, from £3,622 to £4,050. The main item of expenditure is salaries, which have increased by £3lO, from £3,240 in 1948-49 to £3,550 in 1949-50. All supervising foremen are engaged on a full-time 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 fco £4Ol, as compared with £389 in 1948-49, leaving a balance of £319 transferred to Accumulated Funds Account, and increasing the balance of this account to £1,842.

Notes.—(1) During the war years engine repairs, which were previously performed overseas, were carried out in New Zealand. (2) Reductions 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 cessation of work 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.

Return Showing' Total Man-hours and Wages Lost Through Stoppages of Work on the Waterfront for the Years Ended 31st March, 1948, 1949, and 1950

A. Summary

Note. —The 1948 figure for total man-hours lost, as published in previous reports, has been reduced by the number of hours' pay awarded to the workers by the " Mountpark " Emergency Disputes Committee in August, 1948.

B. Brief Explanations of Causes of Stoppages for Year Ended 31st March, 1950 (For similar explanations of causes of stoppages for years 1947-48 and 1948-49 see previous reports.) 1. 27th June to 18th August, 1949—" Barnhill " and " Overtime Ban " : Auckland Branch of the union decided on 27th June, 1949, to operate a forty-four-hour week until further notice because of dissatisfaction on recent decisions on disputes, including the union's claim for a high extra rate for handling tetra-ethyl lead on the " Barnhill " and delay in finalizing the union's wage claim. The overtime ban was adopted by other main ports and the principal secondary ports between 18th and 26th July, 1949, in support of Auckland. On 18th August, 1949, the national executive of the union unconditionally directed all members to resume normal hours of work, including overtime. 2.25 th to 29th July, 1949.—" Dirt Rates " : During the " overtime ban "at Wellington, disputes regarding extra " dirt " rates for working the " Louis L.D." and " Taranaki " could not be resolved by the employers and workers. As Commission control had been suspended there was no independent arbitrator, and the union refused to continue working under these conditions. Both parties agreed to accept an arbitrator appointed by the Minister of Labour. 3. 25th October to 3rd November, 1949—" Engagement of Non-unionists " : Unionists at Auckland refused to work with non-union labour engaged after 10 a.m. Normal work was resumed unconditionally by direction of the national executive of the union. 4. 3rd January, 1950—"Additional Holiday " : At many ports the day after New Year's Day is observed as a paid holiday, instead of Anniversary Day. The union decided that the other ports should observe this day as an additional unpaid holiday. Some ports, however, did work on this day. 5. During year —" Unauthorized Stop-work Meetings " and " Miscellaneous " : A number of unauthorized stop-work meetings were held at main and some secondary ports during the year. The " Miscellaneous " stoppages include the " Defoe " dispute at Auckland and Wellington (refusal to replace hatches after dark) and dispute at Lyttelton regarding extra dirt rates for handling " carbon black."
