ONE-MAN FACTORY

HOURS OF OPERATION UNION MAKES SUGGESTION (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Tuesday An Auckland union, the members of w’hich are engaged in an important manufacturing industry, has made representations to the Minister ot Labour, the Hon. P. C. Webb, urging him to bring down legislation to pi event one-man factories working unlimited hours. The suggestion advanced for the Minister’s consideration is that legislation similar to that in New South Wales should be designed for New Zealand, stipulating that an employer must not operate his factory before a specified time in the morning, and must be off the premises at a set time in the evening, unless a permit is secured granting permission for overtime to be worked. It is thought by the union that this would meet the case of the oneman factory, and eliminate unfair competition with the employer compelled to observe the award in the industry concerned. Employers are also interesting themselves in the matter, and will probably approach the Minister, who has already promised consideration of the union’s proposal.

continue payment of Meat Board levy as from the commencement of this purchase arrangement, with any meat loaded for the United Kingdom and consigned to the Ministry of Food. The Meat Board is advising the Customs Department to this effect. Out of the £ per cent deduction, the Marketing Department will henceforth pay to the Meat Board an amount to be agreed upon to cover the Meat Board’s expenses. “The resultant price is the f.o.b. price payable to owners of meat - upon snipment at each port. Method of Shipment “Freezing companies have already been instructed by the Primary Industries Controller to telescope all mutton and lamb killed for export on and after November 27. The additional cost of telescoping is a . matter which is at present being dis- " cussed with the United Kingdom Government. “It is a condition of the purchase agreement that 75 per cent of the total weight of pork shipped to the United Kingdom shall be of the 101180 range. The Marketing Department will therefore hold each shipper responsible for the shipment by - him of the appropriate weights of porker and baconer pigs. Failure to comply with this provision may result in payment being withheld by the department in respect of any J porker pigs shipped in excess of the 25 per cent weight permitted.” Schedule of Prices Following is the schedule of prices, f which are all f.o.b.
