THE HALF-HOLIDAY TROUBLE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. NEW PLYMOUTH, September 16. This morning twenty members of the New Plymouth Employers' Association waited upon Mr H. Okey, M.H.R., in the Borough Council Chambers, in respect to the half-holi-day trouble that is at present causing so much agitation. Mr Malcolm, M.H.R. for Clutha, was also present. It was urged that it was in the interests of the people who came from the country on Saturdays to have both shops and factories open. The following resolution was unanimously carried:—"That this meeting of employers recommends that all towns outside the four centres urge upon the Minister of Labour the necessity of making clause 9 sub-section 2 of the Bill optional for both factories and shops and factories combined."
