DOUBLE PAY A SORE POINT Press Association DUNEDIN, To-day. Speaking at the Plumbers’ Federation conference, the president, Ml Jenkins, said it had been a very sort point with employers generally that, not only had they to put up with inconvenience of allowing their apprentices off to attend military camps, but they had also to pay them full wa*« for . the time so occupied, notwithstanding the fact that trainees received a minimum payment of 4s l day from the Defence Department. Air. Jenkins understood that the New Zealand Federation had made application to the Arbitration Court to amend various apprenticeship orders so as to give* the right to employers to make a rateable deduction for time lost through any cause over which they had no control. If this could be secured a long-standing grievance could be removed. He emphasised the necessity of employers exercising the utmost care in dealing with any matters affecting their relations with their apprentices.
