THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
A DIFFICULT PERIOD. “Probably at no time since the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act came into being has a more difficult year been experienced in endeavouring to arrange terms and conditions of employment,” said Mr P. Hally, Concilliation Commissioner for the Auckland district, in giving an account of the operations of Conciliation councils in 1930. “On the oije hand,” continued Mr Hally, “employers have had to make strenuous efforts to provide work for their employees, and owing to competition, to maintain and pay the present rate of wages. In many instances, and in many avenues of industry, there lias been a pronounced falling off in business and a consequent reduction in bands. This has been especially acute in the building and engineering trades and those workers engaged in unskilled or semi-skilled labour have bad very much reduced time sheets.” jgßj—M fwjamtsfwnrrMMJaiß. —MB
