Island Fruit Trade
From “The Dominion,” March 28, UHL The monthly shipment of island fruit came to hand in Wellington on Thursday bv the San Francisco steamer, but (as has been the case with the lust few shipments that have come to hand) the bananas were in an indifferent condition. 'The oranges, the first from this part, were very green, but attracted good attention. « » The scarcity of boy labour in trades was referred to in a letter from the -Master Plumbers’ Association, which came before the Technical Education Board last night. “The demand for boys is not probably diminishing,” said Mr. La Trobe in an interview about the letter. "Boys remain longer at school on the average and there are therefore at any time fewer for trade purposes in proportion to the population. Ihe urge demand for casual boy labour leads to lii"h wages being offered —wages that cannot be offered profitably in Ihe trades, mid especially with Ihe Hades competing with the products of cheaper labour m other countries. The conditions and prospects iu commercial life are more attractive, if more illusive, than those in trades.
