DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR (REPORT OF THE).

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

REPORT.

The Acting-Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister of Labour. Department of Labour, Wellington, 29th June, 1935. Sir, — I have the honour to present herewith the forty-fourth annual report of this Department for the information of His Excellency the Governor-General, and to be laid before Parliament, in compliance with the Labour Department Act, 1908, and the Factories Act, 1921-22. The report covers the financial year Ist April, 1934, to 31st March, 1935. I have, &c., Henry E. Moston, The Hon. the Minister of Labour. Acting-Secretary of Labour.

UNEMPLOYMENT. The activities of this Department, so far as unemployment is concerned, are mainly restricted to the registration of unemployed men and the placing of such men in employment, such employment being principally under the various schemes of the Unemployment Board. Details as to the persons registered and the total number of men employed under the various schemes of the Unemployment Board or being assisted from the Unemployment Fund and other information on the question of unemployment may be obtained from the annual report of the Commissioner of Unemployment.

FACTORIES ACT.

The figures as to the number of factories and workers employed therein do not purport to coincide with those of the Government Statistician (annual statistics of factory production), as his returns, which are drawn up purely for statistical purposes, do not cover various small establishments that are included as factories under the Factories Act. It might be explained that the above figures are those ascertained at registration-time (April in each year), except that in order to include factories in seasonal industries which might be closed in April any new establishments opened during the year are added. The figures shown for 1934-35, therefore, chiefly represent the numbers in April, 1934.

Mention was made in last year's report of the improvement then noticeable in several industries— viz., clothing and white working, boot-manufacturing, and sawmilling and other trades associated with the building industry, and the figures for this year confirm the prediction made in the last report that the improved tone of factory employment would be more than maintained. The increases noted are attributable in some cases to the exchange-rate which operated to foster several local manufacturing trades and in other cases to the effect of the schemes introduced in connection with relief of unemployment, notably in the granting of building subsidies. Registration fees received during 1934-35 reflected the increases above noted being about 8 per cent, greater than in the preceding year. In respect to the 1935-36 year the revenue received during the first quarter exceeds that for the whole of 1934-35. It can be assumed, therefore, that a further increase both in factories registered and in factory workers will be disclosed this year. The records of overtime retained by the Department refer only to extended hours in the case of women and boys, the prior approval of the Inspector being necessary. From such records it is ascertained that a considerable amount of overtime has again been worked, particularly in the clothing trades. The law limits the amount of overtime that may be worked to ninety hours in any year, with an additional thirty hours in special cases. Many clothing factories worked the full limit of overtime allowed. During the year several additional factories adopted the five-day working-week. Thirty-eight factories with approximately nine hundred employees are now working under this system. The industries concerned include clothing and white-goods manufacturing, brush-manufacturing, woollen-goods and hosiery manufacturing, biscuit-making, box-manufacturing, printing, tobacco-manufacturing, and patent-medicines manufacturing. Accidents. In order that the accident statistics may be comparable with the statistics of other countries, as urged by the International Conference of Labour Statisticians in 1923, the figures cover the calendar year instead of the financial year. The total number of reported accidents to workers in factories is 2,170 (2,030 males and 140 females). Of the total number, 49 of the accidents occurred to workers under sixteen years of age, 481 to those between sixteen and twenty, and the remaining 1,640 to those above that age. Of the 4 fatal accidents 2 were caused by or were due to machinery. Of the total accidents, 359 were caused by or were due to machinery. The other principal causes of accidents were found to be as follows : Falls of persons (from stairs, ladders, platforms, &c.), 215 ; stepping on or striking against fixed objects, 74 ; faulty handling of tools, 677 ; handling of other objects —viz., objects dropped or tipped over, objects falling, or strain due to handling, 607 ; handling of poisonous, hot, and corrosive substances, 70 ; others (miscellaneous), 168 : total 2,170. Disability caused : Temporary disability, 2,084 ; permanent partial disability, 82. Fatalities, 4. The cases in respect of which time lost is available—viz., 2,078 —show that a total of 39,897 days were lost, or an average of 19-2 days for each worker. In cases where the amount of compensation paid is known—viz., in 2,157 out of the total of 2,170 —the total amount paid is £27,995 Is. 9d. The following particulars are given of the fatal accidents that occurred during the year :— A patternmaker was turning a wooden pattern when the two sections of the pattern flew off the lathe, one section striking him on the back of the head, causing fatal injuries. There was no defect in machinery. A mechanic and a labourer were engaged repairing the valves on the gas-mains at a gasworks when they were overcome by the fumes, the latter worker succumbing as the result of gas poisoning. The mechanic, who was in charge of the work, subsequently recovered. To facilitate the inspection of a marine boiler used as a storage tank for oxygen two workers were placing sacks about the inside. One worker, who was down at the bottom of the boiler, apparently struck a match to see where to place the sacks, when his clothing caught fire and he received fatal burns. A boy was killed as the result of being caught in a goods-lift, his head being severely crushed between the floor of the lift and the building. There was no evidence as to how the accident occurred, but the boy had been warned only the previous day not to touch the lift and notices were displayed at the lift-entrance prohibiting riding in the lift. The following fatal accidents to persons other than " workers " within the meaning of that term as defined by the Workers' Compensation Act, 1922, were reported The occupier of a factory was fatally burned when securing supplies from an unventilated paintstore. The accident occurred at night, and as the store was unlighted it is presumed that deceased lighted a match, and his clothing, which was probably impregnated with inflammable material, caught fire. An attempt was made by a sawmill-owner to move belting while the machinery was in motion. His clothes became entangled in the shafting and he was whirled round the shaft, receiving fatal injuries. Inspections, etc. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 7,390 were made, in the course of which wagesbooks were examined to see that the provisions of the Unemployment Act, 1930, and its amendments had been complied with in respect of the deduction of the emergency unemployment charge. Prosecutions numbered 49, in 42 of which convictions were obtained ; the fines totalled £42. No case calls for comment.

H.—ll.

Complaints were received respecting 375 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 29 prosecutions and 203 warnings. In 120 cases investigation showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. Twenty prosecutions were instituted for breaches which were discovered by Inspectors, and warnings were given in other cases, being either first offences or of a minor nature. Twelve of the prosecutions were against factory-occupiers in respect of offences connected with the keeping of the wages and overtime book. There were 145 requisitions served to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for limewashing ; safeguards for workers employed on machinery, &c. ; sanitary conveniences ; fireescapes ; renovations and structural alterations ; heating-appliances ; ventilation ; first-aid appliances ; and dining-rooms in the case of establishments employing over six women and girls and boys under sixteen. Factory Hygiene and Welfare Work. Attention to welfare conditions for female workers has been given by the women Inspectors of Factories in the four chief centres, visits also being made to smaller towns. During the year a special investigation was made in Auckland, in collaboration with officers of the Health Department, into the use of injurious solvents, particularly amylacetate, in the millinery trade. Samples of paints and sprays used for straw hats were taken by the Health Department's officers for analysis, and the report of the Analyst is at present being awaited. In a number of the larger factories fans have been installed for the protection of the health of the workers, and in some cases milk is provided for consumption by the worker who operates the spray-gun.

Boys and Girls in Factories. Certificates of Fitness issued to Boys and Girls under Sixteen Years of Age to work in Factories.

It is worthy of note that the number of boys under sixteen years engaged during the year shows a marked increase ; the total, however, is considerably below that shown for years prior to 1930. On the other hand, the number of girls under sixteen engaged during the year constitutes a record— viz., 2,011 —the previous highest number of girls engaged being 1,746 —viz., in 1929-30. SHOPS AND OFFICES ACT. The Department has no accurate record as to the number of shops and the number of assistants employed therein, but from the information available it is estimated that there were during the year 27,320 shops throughout New Zealand, of which 14,356 (approximately one-half) were carried on without assistants. In the shops with assistants there were employed 19,330 males and 18,779 females. During the year visits of inspection to the number of 11,916 were made, in the course of which wages-books were examined to see that the provisions of the Unemployment Act, 1930, and its amendments had been complied with in respect of the deduction of the emergency unemployment charge. Prosecutions numbered 207, in 193 of which convictions were obtained; fines, £194 15s. Complaints were received respecting 677 alleged breaches of the Act, resulting in 105 prosecutions and 336 warnings. In 201 cases investigation showed that no breach had been committed, while in the remaining cases no action was considered necessary. One hundred and two prosecutions were instituted for breaches which were discovered by Inspectors, and warnings were given in other cases, being either first offences or of a minor nature. Forty-three of the prosecutions were in respect of offences connected with the keeping of the wages and time book, 9 against employers for wilfully making false entries, and 10 against workers for wilfully signing incorrect records. Thirty-nine requisitions were served on occupiers of shops to comply with various requirements of the Act, such as for sanitary conveniences, heating-appliances, seating-accommodation, ventilation, and partitions.

WoKK PERFORMED BY COMMISSIONERS AND COUNCILS OF CONCILIATION. Industrial agreements made under section 28 of the principal Act .. 25 Industrial agreements made under section sof the Amendment Act of 1932 .. 7 Disputes where recommendations were substantially accepted or agreements reached and referred to the Court to make awards .. .. 46 Disputes where no settlement was arrived at .. .. .. .. 11 Section 7 (4) of the 1932 Amendment Act provides that where a settlement of the dispute has not been arrived at by the Council of Conciliation appointed for the hearing thereof every award or industrial agreement theretofore binding on the parties to the dispute in connection with the industry to which the dispute relates shall cease to be in force on the expiration of one month from the date of the Commissioner's notification to the Clerk of Awards that no settlement of the dispute was arrived at. Under this provision failure to reach a settlement in the 11 cases mentioned above resulted in the cancellation of 12 awards and industrial agreements and the partial cancellation of 2, the principal cause of failure being the inability of the parties to agree on the wages to be paid. The following summary shows the minimum wage-rates fixed by awards and agreements made under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1932, in a number of the principal industries, as compared with the rates fixed by the awards and agreements that were in operation immediately prior thereto.

Section 7 (5) of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1932, provides that where no settlement is arrived at in the case of a dispute in an industry or industries where female workers are employed the Court of Arbitration may, on application, make an order fixing the minimum rates of wages that may be paid to the female workers in the industry or industries concerned, such order to operate and be enforceable as an award, and to continue in force for a period of not less than six or more than twelve months, as may be specified therein. Up to 31st March, 1935, only four such orders have been made, two covering private-hotel employees throughout the Dominion (both expired), one covering shop-assistants in certain trades in the Otago and Southland Industrial District not covered by the existing Shop-assistants' award (expired), and the remaining one, which is still in force, covering shop-assistants in Hawke's Bay. Legal Decisions of Interest. Minimum, Rates of Wages under Factories Act, 1921-22. The award provided for minimum rates for dressmakers and milliners of 15s. per week for the first six months, with half-yearly increments of 2s. 6d. per week until the seventh six months, when the wage was to be 30s. a week, and then in the eighth six months the increment was to be ss. per week. These rates were subject to a reduction of 10 per cent, in accordance with the Court's General Order of 29th May, 1931, but such Order was not to operate to reduce the rates of remuneration below the minimum rates fixed by any Act of Parliament. The employers claimed that they were entitled, pursuant to the General Order, to deduct 3s. per week from the weekly wage of 30s. payable under the award to girls in the seventh half-year of their employment, while the union contended that such deduction was contrary to section 32 {a) of the Factories Act, which provides for such payment as is agreed on, being not less than 10s. in any one week, with annual increments of ss. a week until a wage of 30s. is reached, and thereafter not less than 30s. a week. On a case stated for the opinion of the Court of Appeal as to the minimum weekly rate fixed by section 32 (a) of the Factories Act for workers in the seventh half-year of their employment it was held that the minimum rates fixed by the said section were 10s. per week for the first year, with annual increments of ss. per week until a wage of 30s. is reached, and that it was permissible to reduce the wages of workers in their seventh half-year as contended by the employers. Employment of Workers as " Improvers." Where an award provided that an apprentice having completed his apprenticeship may be employed as an improver for not more than twelve months at a wage of Is. sd. per hour and that the said period of improvership may be spread over a period of two years commencing from the date of the completion of the apprenticeship, the Court of Arbitration held that there was nothing in the award to prevent a worker who, having completed his apprenticeship, has been paid journeyman's wages from being employed as an improver, provided that such employment does not exceed an aggregate of twelve months and does not extend beyond two years from the date of the completion of apprenticeship. Registration of Industrial Associations and Unions. The usual statutory return (to the 31st December, 1934) of the associations and unions registered under the Act, with their membership at that date, is published herewith as an appendix. Comparison with the previous year shows that the total number of workers' unions has decreased by 3 (to 404), and the total membership has increased by 2,503 (from 71,888 to 74,391), Inspections, etc. During the year 2,065 complaints of alleged breaches of the Act and of awards and industrial agreements, &c., were received, but it was found on investigation that in 708 cases no breach had been committed. In 142 cases proceedings were taken, and in 1,077 warnings were given. No action was considered necessary in the remaining cases. Apart from the complaints mentioned above, a large proportion of the inspections of factories, shops, &c., included an inspection to ascertain whether the awards and agreements were being complied with in respect of wages, overtime, &c., and, as a result of these inspections, 62 prosecutions were taken and warnings were given in other cases. Of the 204 prosecutions, 175 were against employers and 29 against workers ; 171 convictions were recorded, 148 against employers and 23 against workers. Total penalties, £291 10s. 6d. Eleven of the prosecutions were for offences connected with the keeping of the wages and overtime book, seven being for wilfully making false entries. Great difficulty has been experienced by the Department in securing the necessary evidence to support prosecutions against employers for failing to keep their wages and overtime books correctly and to pay the prescribed rates of wages, and in some cases it has been found that workers have been aiding in the commission of the offences by accepting less than the correct rate and signing as having received the full amount. The Magistrates were asked to impose substantial penalties in such cases. Instances have occurred also of employers requiring their workers to pay back arrears of wages collected for them by the Department, and in one in which proceedings were taken for such an offence a heavy penalty was imposed.

Industrial Disturbances during the Year. There were ill all thirty-one industrial disturbances during the year. The following is a summary of the more serious stoppages :— Maritime Workers.—The cooks and stewards 011 a number of vessels in Wellington ceased work, but resumed after nine days on the understanding that a conference would be arranged between the shipowners and the cooks and stewards and seamen's unions to discuss the restoration of wage cuts." Some weeks later about seventy seamen on coastal vessels in Greymouth demanded a restoration of the wage cut and refused to take their vessels to sea. Action was taken against them under the Shipping and Seamen Act and a term of fourteen days' imprisonment imposed, but they were released on the second day upon undertaking to proceed to sea. The crews of a number of coastal vessels in other ports also struck in sympathy with the seamen in Greymouth, but resumed upon their release. In due course agreements were arrived at whereby both the cooks and stewards and the seamen received an increase in pay amounting to approximately half of the original reduction. Printing Trades. The employers offer, in conciliation council, of an increase of approximately 5 per cent, in the wage-rate, plus certain other minor improvements, was not accepted, and the workers concerned held stop-work meetings in the four chief centres to consider the position. All continued to work with the excej)tion of those employed in Wellington, who continued to press for the restoration of the whole of the " cuts." Their demands were not conceded by the employers and, after about ten days, work was resumed 011 the terms originally offered. An award, embodying these terms, was made later. LABOUR DISPUTES INVESTIGATION ACT, 1913. During the year thirteen agreements were filed pursuant to section 8 (1), the agreement in each case being reached without recourse to a conference under the Act or to a Labour Dispute Committee. These agreements were as follows : — Chain-grocery store-managers, Canterbury. Clerical and showroom employees (Gas Co.'s), Auckland. Dairy-factory managers, Wellington Industrial District. Dairy-produce and cold-storage workers, Wellington. Electrical workers (South Canterbury Electric-power Board). Engine-drivers, firemen, pumpmen, &c. (Westland State coal-mines). Freezing-workers (South Otago). Gas company's employees (Auckland). Gas company's employees (Birkenhead). Theatrical and stage employees (Dunedin). Tramway employees, Auckland. Tramway engineers, Christchurch. Tramway, omnibus, and power-house employees, Christchurch. Arising out of the disputes filed under the Act since its inception to date, only six ballots have been necessary, and in none of these cases did a strike take place in pursuance of such a ballot. There were on the 31st March, 1935, fourteen agreements in force under this Act in the following industries :— Clerical and showroom employees (Gas Co.). Electrical workers. Electric-power board employees. Freezing-workers. Gas Co. employees. Glassworkers. Grocery-trade managers in chain-stores. Managers in dairy factories. Storage workers in dairy-produce and cold stores. Theatrical and stage employees. Tramway and omnibus services (including engineers and power-house employees). APPRENTICES ACT. This Act, which was passed in 1923, places the regulation of apprenticeships in the control of the Court of Arbitration. It also provides for the establishment of Committees representative of employers and workers ; these have such powers as may be delegated to them by the Court. The Committees, of which there are 94 functioning, are chiefly to be found in the main towns, and there is usually one for each industry. At the end of March," 1933, there were 105 Committees functioning, a reduction to 66 following the cancellation of awards and industrial agreements in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. It had been held by the Court of Arbitration that on cancellation of an award or industrial agreement the Apprentices Act ceased to apply to the industry and locality concerned, but in view of the reversal of this decision by the Supreme Court a number of Committees regarded last year as no longer existing are apparently again functioning. J The Department has again made available to Committees the services of some of its experienced officers, who undertake inquiry work and in many cases act in a secretarial capacity. These officers macte 81 special inspections under this Act during 1934-35. In addition, inspections were carried out in the course of ordinary inspection and investigation work and while visiting factories, &c., in connection with other duties.

Complaints were received regarding 83 alleged breaches of the Act, while 54 other breaches were discovered by the Department's Inspectors, 101 warnings being issued. There were 6 prosecutions during the year for various breaches of the Act and the orders made thereunder, convictions being entered in 4 of the cases, and penalties amounting to £4 being imposed. Of the prosecutions, 3 were against employers and 3 against apprentices. The following table gives the approximate number of apprentices in the trades to which the Act applies.

It is interesting to compare the figures contained in the above table with one showing the number of boys and girls under sixteen years of age who have commenced employment in factories during the year (see page 3of this report). Few of these young persons have been taken on as apprentices in the skilled trades under the provisions of the Apprentices Act, 1923. It would appear that, apart from the effect of trade conditions on apprenticeships, there is an extreme reluctance on the part of employers to take on apprentices under the existing provisions. Power is given to the Court of Arbitration under the Apprentices Act to order any employer or employers to employ a minimum number of apprentices. This power has not been used. The provisions of section 56 of the Finance Act, 1932, which give Magistrates power, on application by any party concerned, to amend, suspend, or cancel any contract of apprenticeship in force at the date of the passing of the Act, are still being invoked owing to the difficulty experienced by employers in finding employment for their apprentices. Before a Magistrate, however, can cancel a contract under this section he is required to be satisfied that, owing to the economic conditions affecting the industry concerned or the particular business of the employer, the employer cannot reasonably be expected to continue to carry out the terms of the contract, but in the event of his ordering cancellation of the contract he may, if he thinks fit, award compensation to the apprentice. Sixteen applications were dealt with under this legislation during the year ended the 31st March, 1935, 2 contracts being suspended, 2 cancelled, and 11 varied. In 1 case relief was refused. ARREARS OF WAGES. Amounts totalling £5,832 17s. lOd. were collected by the Department's officers on behalf of workers who had been underpaid the wages prescribed by awards and the various Acts, while further amounts of such arrears, totalling £5,037 9s. lid., were paid by employers, at the instance of the Inspectors, directly to the workers concerned : total, £10,870 7s. 9d. WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT. During the year 111 cases were heard and determined by the Court of Arbitration (previous vear, 138). The more important decisions, with a digest thereof, are published in "New Zealand Workers' Compensation Cases," which is issued annually by the Department.

H.—ll.

During the year the Court of Arbitration stated a case for the opinion of the Court of Appeal on the question of what is the true basis upon which the " average weekly earnings " of a worker should be calculated for the purpose of assessing compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act. In calculating average weekly earnings in the past, difficulty has been experienced in regard to the construction that should be placed on the expressions " while at work " and " but in calculating such average no account shall be taken of any periods during which the worker has been absent from work " which are contained in section 6 (1) of the Act. The judgment of the Court of Appeal has settled the construction that should be placed on these expressions and has laid down the method that should be adopted in ascertaining the average weekly earnings of a worker in accordance with section 6 (1) of the Act. This method may be stated concisely as follows :— (1) Ascertain if there has been employment with the same employer for the period of twelve months preceding the accident, and if not, for what less period. (2) In the period so determined, ascertain the total number of weeks during which the worker was at work—i.e., the total number of weeks in which he performed any work at all. (3) Deduct therefrom the total of the fractions of each actual working-week during which the worker was absent from work—i.e., absent from available work. (4) Divide the total earnings for the weeks " while at work " (vide (2) above) by the number of weeks ascertained in accordance with (3). (5) The result constitutes the average weekly earnings of the worker. SHEARERS' ACCOMMODATION ACT. All necessary inspections under this Act were previously carried out by the Inspectors of the Agriculture Department, but following the report of the National Expenditure Commission set up in 1932 inspection has been suspended. AGRICULTURAL AND SAWMILL LABOURERS' ACCOMMODATION. Forty-one inspections were carried out during the year, resulting in 28 requisitions for improvement, alteration, &c., of accommodation. SCAFFOLDING AND EXCAVATION ACT. During the year 3,413 notices of intention to erect buildings and scaffoldings and to commence excavations were received, and 11,849 inspections were made. There were 18 prosecutions, convictions being recorded in 17 cases, and fines amounting to £24 being imposed. The number of accidents to workers during the year ending 31st December, 1934, is 212 (of which 3 were fatal). It should be mentioned that the total includes not only accidents to workers on scaffolding or in connection with gear or excavations, but also all other accidents occurring in connection with building operations. Taking into consideration the hazardous nature of the work and the number of workers involved, the number of accidents due to falls from scaffolds, ladders, or roofs is small —viz., 29. The numbers according to occupations are : Labourers, 115 ; carpenters, 62 ; painters, 3 ; bricklayers, 3 ; plumbers, 2 ; plasterers, 4 ; steelworkers, 7 ; unclassified, 16. The cases in respect of which information as to the time lost and compensation paid is available —viz., 196 and 205 respectively out of the 212 accidents —show that a total of 4,996 days were lost and compensation to the amount of £5,369 Is. Id. was paid. The following are particulars of the fatal accidents reported : — Two carpenters were working on a scaffold securing a queen-bolt to a roof principal of a dairy factory when one apparently slipped, and the other, in endeavouring to hold him, was knocked backwards, both workers falling to the concrete floor below. The fall of the former was broken through his striking one of the factory employees, but the'latter sustained fatal head injuries. There was no guard-rail on the scaffold at the time of the accident, and proceedings were taken against the employer for failing to give notice of his intention to erect the scaffolding and against the foreman for failing to have the necessary guard-rail fitted, penalties being imposed in both cases. A carpenter who had been working alone on a platform of planks built across the top of a bin some 40 ft. from the bottom was found lying on the floor of the bin with extensive head injuries, to which he afterwards succumbed. It was thought that the worker dropped his hammer through a crevice between two planks, and in order to recover it removed one of the planks with a view to climbing down an iron ladder fixed on the inside of the bin. When either descending or ascending the ladder he apparently missed his footing and fell to the bottom of the bin. The foot of a derrick which had been used to raise a 12 cwt. principal for the roof of a new workshop slipped, and the principal fell, striking a worker engaged on other duties and inflicting fatal injuries. Proceedings were instituted against the builder for failing to have the derrick tested in the presence of the Inspector, and a penalty was imposed. SERVANTS' REGISTRY OFFICES ACT. There are eighty-four offices registered in New Zealand (last year sixty-eight). Two persons were convicted during the year for breach of fines amounting to £6 being imposed, but otherwise the offices appear to be satisfactorily conducted.

RENT RESTRICTION. There were 120 applications from tenants for inquiry (previous year 176). The following table shows the results of the investigations (the figures in parentheses are those for the previous year)

As mentioned in previous reports, the Rent Restriction Continuance Act, 1927, provided that from the Ist May, 1928, (1) the standard rent shall be determined on the basis of 7 per cent, on the capital value of the dwellinghouse as at the date of such determination (instead of on the 1914 value) exclusive of rates, insurance, repairs, and depreciation (as before) ; (2) the Act shall cease to operate except where, on the application of the tenant, a Magistrate otherwise orders ; in deciding the question the Magistrate shall have regard to the greater hardship that may be caused to either party concerned. Subject to the following paragraph, the provisions do not apply to houses first let after the 9th November, 1920. ' By the Rent Restriction Extension Act, 1931 (passed 31st July, 1931), the provisions were extended to cover dwellinghouses in the Hawke's Bay earthquake area let on the 3rd Peburary, 1931 (the date of the earthquake), or since that date at a rental not exceeding £104 per annum. The provisions were further continued by the Rent Restriction Act, 1934, until 31st October, 1935, when they will expire unless further extended. FOOTWEAR REGULATION ACT. There were 2,056 inspections made throughout the Dominion under this Act. As most, if not all, of the footwear required to be branded under the Act is imported, the arrangement made with the Customs Department whereby all imported footwear is examined in the Customs shed before release is still being continued. The services of the Department's footwear Inspectors were again utilized in examining the boots supplied by the Unemployment Board to relief workers employed under the various unemployment schemes, with a view to ensuring that the manufacturers were complying with the Board's specifications. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT. The regulations under the Act provide for the reverification of weights, measures, and weighing and measuring instruments in use for trade purposes. The articles verified or reverified during the vear are summarized hereunder :— , J Submitted. Incorrect. Weights 37,643 5,570 Measures .. .. .« •• •• 3,110 I^s Weighing-instruments .. .. •• •• 23,484 2,888 Measuring-instruments .. .. •• 7,279 1,520 71,516 10,103 There were also submitted for verification 329,115 bottles—milk, cream, or 0i1—284 being incorrect. In addition to the reverification work referred to, the Department has carried out surprise tests of appliances on the owner's premises ; the net-weight and standard-weight provisions of the regulations also received attention. There were 45 prosecutions for various breaches under this Act, convictions being obtained in 39 cases, and fines amounting to £33 10s. being imposed. Verification fees earned totalled £9,041 (previous year, £8,715 Bs. Id.) ) increase, £325 lis. lid. During the period the following thirty new designs of weighing and measuring instruments were submitted under clause 4, Part 11, of the regulations for approval for use for trade in the Dominion viz.:— Weighing — Self-indicating (counter and platform) scales .. .. . ■ .. 15 Automatic weighing-instruments .. • • • • .. 4 Personal weighing-instruments .. . ■ • • ■ ■ .. 3 Measuring— Petrol-pumps and equipment .. .. ■ • • • .. 2 Flow-meters (petrol) .. . • • • • • • • .. 6 30 Of these, 23 have been approved, 3 are still under consideration, and 4 have been rejected as not complying with the Weights and Measures Act and Regulations.

Inspections were again made during the year to ensure that the provisions of the Sale of Food and Drugs Act relating to the weight of bread and the provisions of the Weights and Measures Regulations relating to the sale of coal, coke, and firewood were being complied with, resulting in 28 prosecutions (12 in respect of short-weight bread and 16 for breaches in connection with the sale of coal, coke, and firewood). These prosecutions are included in the figures given in the second paragraph above. LEAD PROCESS REGULATIONS. These regulations are framed to protect workers from the danger of lead poisoning in factories where lead paints are manufactured or prepared, and also in places where painting operations are carried on. One case of suspected lead poisoning was reported during the year, the employee concerned being absent for approximately three months. The regulations are generally being well observed, but three cases were referred to the Health Department for investigation of the working-conditions of the employees, while in two other cases no action was taken as the firms concerned were moving to new premises. TAILORING TRADE REGULATIONS. These regulations were gazetted in 1925 to prevent the misuse of such expressions as " tailor made " and " hand made " as applied to garments made to measure, some of which are made partly by machine process. In one instance factory-made garments were found to be incorrectly described in an advertisement, which, when attention was drawn to the matter, was immediately withdrawn. Proceedings were not considered necessary. INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE. The nineteenth session of the International Labour Conference was convened for the 4th June, 1935. New Zealand was represented at this Conference, the delegation consisting of two Government representatives, one employers' representative, and one workers' representative. The items on the agenda paper for discussion at the Conference were as follows : — I. Maintenance of rights in course of acquisition and acquired rights under invalidity, old age, and widow' and orphans' insurance on behalf of workers who transfer their residence from one country to another. 11. Employment of women on underground work in mines of all kinds. 111. Unemployment among young persons. IV. The recruiting of labour in colonies and in other territories with analogous labour conditions. V. Holidays with pay. VI. Reduction of hours of work, with special reference to — (a) Public works undertaken or subsidized by Governments. (b) Iron and steel. (c) Building and contracting. (d) Glass-bottle manufacture. (e) Coal-mines. VII. Partial revision of the Hours of Work (Coal Mines) Convention, 1931. EXPENDITURE DURING THE YEAR.
