SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY
Mr G. Laurenson's Universal Sat- * urday Half-Holiday Bill provides for a Dominion haf-holiday, commencing at noon on Saturdays, for all shops, offices, and warehouses, and all water-
side workers. It will exempt fruit shops, tobacconists' shops and res taurants, as well as shops at seaside re-jorts. Mr Laurenson has received telegrams from different parts'of New Zealand commending the Bill, and one firm in Auckland, employing about 300 persons, has written on behalf of firm and employees expressing the hope that the Bill will become law. Mr Laurenson says that the time is ripe for the measure, and if it not passed this year he expects a bett'er fate next session.
