Some time ago the Department of Labour issued a notice to manufacturers throughout New Zealand intii mating that the department, in conjunction with the Census Department, would require certain information in repect to hands employed, wages paid, etc., during the year ending March 31st, 1910-11, and that in the case of large employers the department would accept the information in a condensed or modified form. We are now informed by the department that it will be prepared to receive the information from all employers--large and small — in the modified form, and accordingly it is issuing "wages sheets" for the purpose. These sheets will make compliance with the requirements of the Labour Department, considerably easier for employers and the local Inspector of Factories will shortly distribute a supply of the same to the various manufacturers in this district. It is pointed out that the information will not be required every year, but merely in conjunction with the census, which takes place once in five years. In the case of causal workers, the department has issued a special form to be used in lieu of the ordinary wage sheets, which will also be easy to fill in.
