CLOSING HOURS OF SHOPS.
SUBURBAN INTERESTS. (PMES iSSOdATIOV tXLSOKAU.) AUCKLAND, April 20. "I wishto ; goodness that the Government would ; deal with the whole business: of closing-hours , and fix hours definitely," said Mr Justiqe Frazer, President of the Arbitration Court, when an application for exemption was before the Court to-day. "We know that Queen street shops have to close at certain hours, and if we close little shops in the suburbs at the same hour we might do them an injustice. Take a suburban shop where a man has worked up a business and Has a certain amount of regular custom He might employ one or two assistants. Now,' if we close his shop at the same hour as the Queen street shops, a flock of competitors will come along and- take from htm the business he has worked up. It s a pity that the Government doesn't take over the business of famg hours definitely."
