OVER-RATE WORKERS
Effect Of* Wage Increase Order (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, August 5. Though a number of firms have invited prosecutions to test the recent wage hicrease order as it affects workers already receiving wages in excess of the prescribed . award minimum, no action to meet the challenge on the interpretation of the order has been taken by the head office of the Labour Department. This statement was made today by the secretary of the Canterbury Employers’ Association, Mr. H. F. Rutland. Mr. Rutland reiterated the opinion that the increase did not apply to workers already receiving rates exceeding the award minimum and added that the departments interpretation differed from that of. the employers’ association and was in direct conflict with the Arbitration Court’s explanatory memorandum.
