WAGE STABILISATION
CRITICISED BY LABOURERS’ CONFERENCE. REDRESS OF ANOMALIES SOUGHT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Minimum wage provisions and stabilisation provoked lively discussion at the national conference 'of delegates of the New Zealand Labourers’ Federation, which was continued today. The following resolution was adopted: “That the Government be approached with a request that it bring down legislation to provide all workers with guarantees of a wage on similar lines to that provided in the Essential Industries Regulations and that, in view of the unfair application of stabilisation to the lower-paid workers, whose wages, whilst ostensibly stabilised as at December 15, 1943, were actually fixed in November, 1937, the Government be asked to expedite the implementation of the election promise given by the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, as Leader of the Labour Party, to bring into being an adequate family wage, calculated to maintain the average family at a reasonable standard of comfort.
