BAKER’S AWARD. WELLINGTON, Oct. 2. The Arbitration Court has issued the bakers’ and pastry-cooks’ award, which is on a Dominion basis, except on holidays, which are subject to local requirements. The hours are to be 46 per week, as the Court believes that 44 hours in most- cases are insufficient for the work to be done. The Court ha s omitted the former restriction of the number of labourers and junior labourers, being of the opinion that the nature of the work exercises an automatic restriction. The commencing ,qge for such .is fixed at 18,, to encourage apprenticeship. Overtime is stall..darned ..(time .and .a-quarfer . for the •first two hours, and double thereafter. Qyerfime. is payable ..on wages plus bonuses. Females .(other than journeymen .are permitted to perform certain skilled work at two-thirds of the journeymen’s. jrajte. Tearooms which do hot sell haliers’ or pastrycooks’ goods for consumption off the premses are excluded from the award. The Court considers that these should have a separate award. Work is not to start before 4 a.m. except on Saturdays, or the day preceding a public holiday, when work shall start one hour earlier, and before doublo and triple holidays ,two and three hours earlier. If country deliveries are made, work starts at 3 a.m. There are special hours clauses for bakeries in small towns and for pastry-cooks, whose day normally begins at 6 a.m. Wages are: Foremen £5 3s, journey- • inen £4 13s, labourers £3 9s, apprentices £1 7s 6d to £3 ss.
