The grocers of Dunedin have decided to close down for ten full days at Christmas. Tho reason for this action is that the Shops and Offices Act demands that all employees, in addition to tho Christmas and Naw Year holidays, shall be given a full week’s holiday on full pay. Tho custom in the past has been to allow the staff to take this week off in turns or at intervals convenient to the employer or themselves (or both), and so work off the week without closing down. As Christmas and New Year is a broken period, and a great many people do not need to shop in the grocery line between Christmas and tho New Year, ama jority of the trade deemed it a good chance to work off tho whole week’s holiday as far as all were concerned, and by throwing it in with the statutory holiday to make a full ten days’ break, a proposal which was welcomed by the employees generally.
