ANZAC DAY ON A SUNDAY

Position in Regard to Monday NO HOLIDAY THEN
(By Tc-legraph-
1 WELLINGTON, Last Nighf. • Anzac Day falls on a Sunday this year, and the question has been raised whether the f ollowing Monday will be observed as a holiday. The position is :that Monday will not be a holiday unless it is definitely preseribed as such iin the awards of the Arbitration Court. The official ruling given by the Labour Department reads: "Under the Anzac Day Act, 1920, as amended in 1921-22, Anzac Day is to be obsctved throughout New Zealand as if it were Hunday. Anzac Day this year falls on a Bunday. No provision is made in the statute for the observance of Monday where Anzac Day falls on a Sunday. ^ Several awards of the Court of Arbi- . ;tration provide for the observance of . ; Monday as a holiday where Anzac Day . falls on a Sunday, and- in such cases, , !this provision must be followed. In the i Public Holidays Act, 1910, there is pro- } jvision for 'Mondayising' certain holi- . 'days, but Anzac Day is not included." & *
