EEPOET.

The Secretary, Department of Labour, to the Hon. the Minister ok Labour. y IK Department of Labour, Wellington, 30th May, 1912. I have the honour to present herewith the twenty-first annual report of this Department for transmission to His Excellency the Governor, in accordance with section 68 of the Factories Act, 1908, and section 12 of the Labour Department and Labour Day Act, 1908. The report covers the late financial year—viz., from the Ist April, 1911, to the 31st March, 1912. I have, &c, John Lomas, The Hon. the Minister of Labour. Secretary of Labour.

This year marks the attainment of the Department's majority. For exactly twenty-one years the Department has conducted its work, and it is fitting that at this juncture a short historical review of its organization and growth should be given. In June, 1891, the Department commenced its operations, when it was called "The Bureau of Industries," and Mr. Edward Tregear (who retired from the position of Secretary in February, 1911) was placed in charge. Shortly afterwards, Mr. James Maekay, now deceased, joined the Department, and was subsequently appointed Chief Clerk; and about the same time I joined the clerical staff, and was transferred two years later to the charge of the Christchurch office as Inspector of Factories, &c. Of the officers appointed to the Department shortly after its inception only three are on the staff to-day —viz., Mr. James Shanaghan, Inspector in charge at Auckland (joined 1892), Mr. F. W. Rowley, Deputy Chief Inspector (1893), and Mr. J. W. Collins, Accountant (1894). The staff of three in 1891 has grown to eighty-eight in 1912, and the functions of the Department have enormously increased. Its chief work on establishment was to try to meet the " unemployed " difficulty, which at that time was most pressing in all the larger towns. To-day this work is an important branch; but the duty of administering what are generally known as the "labour" laws has formed the chief responsibility of the Department. It is a matter of common knowledge that these laws have been added to or amended from year to year during the twenty-one years under review, and Acts thought to be merely experimental in the early years have been amended and improved, as experience appeared to warrant, until they are now mostly looked upon by the large majority of our citizens as essential for the smooth, effective, and peaceful working of our growing industries. Some of the laws have served as models for other countries to copy, and it is probable that in some respects our legislation is more humane and far-reaching than any yet adopted elsewhere. The Factories Act still stands as one of the best-appreciated measures by all classes, whilst the Workers' Compensation Act has been of benefit to hundreds of. workers at a time when assistance is most urgently needed. The Shops and Offices Act, too. is also working smoothly, and, given some amendments, it should prove one of the most humane and beneficial Acts administered by the Department. Of all the laws administered by the Department, however, the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, passed originally in 1894, calls for the exercise of the greatest tact and judgment. In these latter days there are critics who declaim its early repeal, but I do not think that the workers themselves as a whole, or the employers, or even the community generally, are dissatisfied with its principles, and desire to see a return to what may in New Zealand be regarded as the old strike methods of securing redress in industrial disputes. The number of union cancellations towards the end of the year under review showed an appreciable decline, and there appears to lie no marked tendency on the part of the large unions now registered to break away from the Act. In surveying the twenty-one years' history of the Department I look back upon a record of great and lasting work accomplished by the operation of the humanitarian laws administered by the Department, and the outstanding feature of all is the total abolition of " sweating " of the workers, and a recognition, hard-won perhaps, from both employers and workers that each has gained some mutual benefit by the operation of the labour laws of New Zealand.

The year just passed may best be described as being a norrnal one. There has not been any undue fluctuation in trade, and, generally speaking, all branches of industry have been steadilybusy. Skilled tradesmen have been well employed, and the ironworkers, who suffered a slack season in 1010, .had a rather better year, although this trade still seems to lack buoyancy. Cabinetmakers and some of those connected with the building trades notably plumbers, painters, bricklayers, and plasterers—had a fairly full year's employment, and there has been less complaint from carpenters on the score of lack of work (luring 1911-12 than during the previous year. Unskilled labour, too, has had a fairly good year, and it was noticeable that the winter months passed away without any congestion of unemployed being reported in any part of the Dominion. The total number of men assisted by the Department shows a considerable decrease over 1910-11 : in that year 7,102 were sent or assisted to employment, as against 5,735 in 1911—12, a decrease of 1,367. Of this number, 1,407 were married ami 1,328 were single men and widowers. Of the total, 3,450 were sent to or given assistance to private employment, and 2,285 were sent to Government works. Of those applying at the Department's employment branches, the following have received practical assistance since the Department's formation : —

The usual shortage of farm labourers was experienced during the spring and summer months, and locally trained men could not be obtained. The oversea arrivals gladly availed themselves of this work, and farmers invariably welcomed their assistance, even although the majority had had no previous farm experience. In this regard I would like to emphasize the fact that farmers, especially dairy-farmers, are in the habit of engaging their labour through the Department's agents in the early spring, and, after providing work from September to April inclusive, many discharge the men during the winter. A fairly large number of such instances has come under my notice, whilst in other cases hands are kept on at reduced wages. Whilst this is a legitimate action on the part of farmers, it has the tendency to break the men's liking for the work, besides greatly increasing the Department's problem of finding work for such men during the winter months. Almost invariably the men find their way to the towns, and if they are successful in finding work they will not return again to the country districts when the busy season starts. Some reliable evidence has also been given to the Department that in a number of instances for wages of from £1 ss. to £1 10s. per week men in the dairying districts are expected to commence work at 4 a.m., and not to finish till 8 p.m.; and when the season slackens and the daylight hours draw in they have to face discharge or reduced earnings. Such being the case, I must infer that these methods are responsible to some extent for the shortage of farm labour experienced, as conditions such as these will not be accepted by men when they can secure better working-conditions elsewhere. During the coming season the question as to the

probable duration of employment will be aske„d of farmers by the Department, and preference will be given to those employers who guarantee workers some reasonable period of employment. The clothing trades have been working at very high pressure, and girl and boy labour in the woollen-mills and clothing-factories has been in great demand. Employers have been seriously handicapped by this shortage, and have repeatedly brought the matter under the notice of the Department. I have nothing to add, however, to my last year's report on this matter. Factories Act. In view of the fact that the method of compiling statistics as to the persons employed in factories has been changed (see paragraph entitled " Industrial statistics," page xxv), it was decided to omit most of the usual tables this year; so that, except in respect to the number of factories, no comparisons can be made with the former figures. The conclusions to be drawn from the new statistics will, however, be much more valuable, inasmuch as these will cover the whole year's factory ope-rations, instead of only those for a certain daj' of the year, and will, moreover, show the important item of duration of employment. As the remarks respecting these figures are somewhat lengthy, they will appear at the beginning of the appendix relating to industrial statistics. The following table shows the number of factories registered from 1895 to 1912, inclusive :

Return showing the Falling-off in Number of Boys and Girls employed in Factories.

From the above it will be seen that the number of boys and girls of fourteen to sixteen years of age employed in factories lias decreased from 25| for everj- 1.00 factory workers in 1908-9 to 23 for every 100 in 1910-11; so that if the proportion of these young persons in 1908-9 hail been maintained, there would in 1910-11 have been 20,220 young persons, or 2,047 more than there actually were. Overtime. The overtime worked by women and by boys under sixteen years of age was 407,509 hours, an increase over the previous year of 41,881 hours. The dressmaking, tailoring, biscuit and confectionery making, printing, woollen-milling, and laundry trades mainly contributed to these extra hours. In each of these industries there has been at times a pronounced shortage of skilled labour, and the full limit of overtime allowed by law has been worked in each of the four centres. Details of hours of overtime worked in the several towns and trades are given in this report (page cviii). The figures looted do not, of course, imply that full ordinary time has in all cases been worked. As a set-off against the overtime worked, it would be interesting to be able to record the extent to which ordinary working-time is lost, although, while workers sometimes lose time on account of the fluctuations of business, it is stated that in some cases workers absent themselves at holiday seasons, even when work is busj-. Permits. The permits issued to young 1 persons (fourteen to sixteen years of age) to work in factories, for the period total 1,106 to boys and 1,293 to girls. This is a decrease of 5 to boys and an increase of 20 to girls over last year's figures. A return giving details of the school standard passed in the various towns is appended to this report (page cix). Accidents in Factories. Despite the vigilance of the Inspectors, the number of accidents recorded in industrial occupations has increased, though it is pleasing to report that the increase is mainly in the slight accidents, the serious and fatal ones showing a decrease as compared with the previous year. The following table compares this year with last: —

The following is a summary of the fatal accidents: A butcher in (lie freezing-works al Gis borne slipped on concrete steps and was impaled on his butcher's steel; a power-house engineer at Dunedin was found dead, apparently having fallen whilst fixing some electric lights and caught a conductor, receiving a fatal shock j an engineer's apprentice at Greymouth was jammed by a travelling crane against a girder, and death was instantaneous; a flax-mill hand in the Wellington District, whilst fixing a belt, was carried round the main shaft and killed; a confectionerymaker, Dunedin, fell off a ladder and was killed; a sawyer, Northern District, was struck on abdomen by a piece of wood which flew off saw; a brickmaker's labourer, Auckland, was injured by a fall of clay, and did not survive operation; a confectioner's assistant, Canterbury, was caught in belting whilst fixing same on shaft in motion; a stonecrusher, Otago, was caught on shaft of machine and killed outright; a gasworker, Wellington, fell from top of retort bench down staircase-well; wool-dumper—a bale of wool fell off a truck and broke his spine.

Possibly the increase in the number of accidents reported over those of last year is. due to the fact that the employers are more conversant with the requirements of the Act and report all accidents, even to the slightest mishaps, some of which in past years might have been overlooked; and this suggestion is borne out by the fact that the increase in the total number of accidents is under the headings "slight" and "moderate," whilst those headed "serious" and "fatal" show a decided decrease. The Inspectors of Factories make careful inquiries into the cause of each accident, and any machinery requiring extra safeguards to protect the life and limbs of workers is at once attended to. Prosecutions. The following figures show a slight increase on those in the previous year's report. 108 cases were brought before the Court, as against 102 during the previous year; in 1910 the total cases were 113, and in 1909, 150. This year convictions were obtained in 101 cases, and 7 cases were dismissed. The different offences under the Act are summarized as follows :— 3 Nature of Offences. Number of Oasei taken. bailing to allow weekly half-holiday to females and boys ... 13 Failing to grant statutory whole holiday- to females and boys ... ... 17 Failing to pay wages fortnightly ... ... ... ... ... 24 Failing to keep wages and overtime books, k<s. ... ... ... 10 Employing persons under sixteen in factories without permits ... ... 16 Employing females and boys overtime without permits ... ... 2 Failing to report accidents within forty-eight hours ... ... .. 5 Failing to post up in factories prescribed form specifying hours of work, holidays, &c. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 1 Failing to register factories ... ... ... ... 4 Miscellaneous offences ... ... ... ... ... ... 16 Of the dismissed cases, three for employing women on the statutor}- half-holiday were dismissed as trivial on the ground that a holiday—-viz., Easter Monday—had already been observed during the week; one for employing a dressmaker more than forty-five hours per week without first obtaining written permission from the Inspector was also dismissed as trivial, as it was shown that the woman had been working in order to obtain a holiday during the next week. These cases were dismissed as trivial by virtue of section 92 of the Justices of the Peace Act, 1908; and, although it was held on appeal that breaches of the Act had been committed, the Magistrate's discretionery powers under that section could not be interfered with. One case against a restaurateur for failing to keep his factory in a sanitary condition was dismissed, as the Magistrate held that there was no evidence to show that more than one person had been employed in the shed where oysters were prepared for consumption, and where the alleged insanitary conditions prevailed. A case against a timber company for failing to report an accident within forty-eight hours was dismissed as the evidence showed that defendants had reported the occurrence as soon as possible after the injuries had assumed a serious aspect; it was at first thought the worker would not be incapacitated for more than forty-eight hours, in which case notice to the Inspector would have been unnecessary. Another similar case against a sawmiller was dismissed as the result of the accident had not assumed a serious aspect until several days after its occurrence. Amongst the suggestions made for the improvement of the Factories Act is one which specifies that first-aid appliances should be provided in all factories where machinery is used. As no doubt in most large factories where machinery is used there are two or three workers who have some practical training of first aid, it is suggestecT that the appliances above mentioned should be insisted upon in all such factories.

H.—ll

Another suggestion made by one of the Inspectors is, I think, an important . one — viz., to forbid workers and others from placing belting on machinery which is in motion. Notwithstanding that loose pulleys are always required and are already provided for by the Factories ,Act (section 39), some employees persist in removing belting whilst machinery is in motion. No doubt the carelessness shown is due to the employees' being so constantly engaged in attending to machinery that they sometimes lose respect for its dangers. I think it would be a useful provision to insert in the Act. Another Inspector suggested that definite provision should be made for the minimum notice to be given by employers or workers in regard to termination of employment. Disputes as to wages due to employees who have either been dismissed or who have left their employment frequently come before the Department's Inspectors, and considerable difficulty is often experienced in ascertaining what, notice the workers or the employers are entitled to. As matters stand, unless the workers are bound by an Arbitration Court award which provides for a definite period of notice, these disputes have to be settled in accordance with common law. I think that the Factories Act should provide that, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, one week's notice be necessary. Shops and Offices Act. The table following shows details of the number of shops, employers and employees engaged therein for the year 1911-12, and the total wages paid : —

Shops, including Hotels, &c.

These totals show substantial increases all round on last year's figures—viz., in employees, 10,551; in shops, ,&c, 1,733; and in wages, £402,752. These increases are largely due to the fact that hotels are included for the first time in this year's figures.

This order is unchanged from the previous year. As previously explained, the Wellington District's position is probably due to the fact that it contains a greater number of large inland towns than the other districts. The number of employees actually engaged at work in these shops was 15,782 in 1910-11, whilst this year the totals (which now include hotel employees) are 19,367 —an increase of 3,585. Summarizing the totals for the Dominion, the returns show that there are 16,577 shops, hotels, &c, employing 48,938 hands, and paying £2,375,147 in wages. Prosecutions.

The increase is mainly accounted for by hotels and restaurants having been brought under the provisions of the Act. The breaches under the last two headings in the above list were committed by hotel or restaurant proprietors. Out of the 298 cases taken, six were dismissed. These six cases are summarized as follows : — Two against restaurant-keepers for failing to close on the statutory half-holiday, they having sold cigarettes and tobacco. It was found that restaurants, even though selling goods other than meals, were exempted, in error, by the 1910 amendment relating to hotels and restaurants. Another dismissed case was for employing an assistant after the hours prescribed for assistants. In this case it was proved that the assistant was waiting to go away with his employer, and served some goods without the employer's knowledge. Two other cases for employing assistants more than the prescribed number of hours were dismissed owing to conflicting evidence. The remaining case, for failing to keep a wages and time book, was dismissed on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to convict. A subject giving considerable trouble to the Department and to its Inspectors is the matter of enforcing the closing of shops in accordance with the different requisitions from a majority of the shopkeepers in the various trades fixing their own closing-hours. In the large towns these requisitions fix varying closing-hours from half past sto nearly midnight. This entails a large amount of work upon Inspectors, whilst considerable confusion is caused to the general public. It is suggested that in the large towns a general closing-hour for all shops, excepting those in a few exempted trades such as those exempted from closing on the weekly half-holiday, should be fixed at, say, 8 o'clock, leaving shopkeepers in any particular trades who desire to close at an earlier hour to have a " requisition " accordingly. In regard to the 1910 amendment to the Shops and Offices Act bringing all hotel employees under the Act, fixing a limit to the number of hours of work, providing for weekly holidays, &c, considerable difficulty has been experienced by the Department with respect to those private hotels which, on account of the fact that they do not cater for the general public in the same way as is done by ordinary licensed hotels, restaurants, (fee, have been ruled by the Supreme Court to be excluded from the provisions of the Act. A number of complaints on the part of hotel and restaurant employees have been made at this decision, owing to the fact that many of the workers are engaged in the private hotels referred to, and they consider they should be placed on the same footing as employees in other establishments which are under the Act. It has been suggested that the difficulty might be got over by including such private hotels as are above mentioned which employ more than three assistants. The matter is one that should receive the consideration of the Government.

Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The year just ended has been characterized by a considerable amount of industrial unrest, no less than twenty-one "strikes" having taken place. It is satisfactory, perhaps, to report that of this total six only can be regarded as serious, and even these fade into insignificance compared with industrial disturbances in Continental Europe or America. The most serious strike both from a monetary point of view and in duration was that of officers of the small coastal ships. This lasted for five weeks, and the loss in money on both sides totalled about £24,000. The next important case was that of the Wellington Tramways, lasting four and a half days, and causing a loss of about £2,100. Over three hundred labourers in Auckland were on strike for one w-eek, and the loss occasioned to both sides reached about £1,200. The other three cases were less serious. A full statement of the circumstances surrounding each of the more serious strikes is as follows :— Wellington Tramwaxjs (from 31st January, 1912, to sth February, 1912). —In this case 358 men struck work at the instigation of the Tramways' Union, which demanded the removal from office of an alleged incompetent and unpopular ticket inspector. On the demand being refused the men ceased work, and a total of 413 men were idle for four and a half days, during which time the whole service was at a standstill. The matter was settled by the City Council agreeing to remove the inspector to a position where he would have no dealings with members of the Tramways Union, and the men returned to work. The loss to the men in wages during the period they were idle was £893, and the estimated loss in revenue to the Council was £1,200. As the men were working under an industrial agreement the strike was illegal, and the union was accordingly summoned before the Magistrate's Court for a breach of the strike provisions of the Act. The offence was admitted, and a fine of £100 imposed. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Department for payment of the fine. Wellington Meat Workers (from 9th February, 1912, to 23rd February, 1912).—160 labourers assisting slaughtermen struck, their demands re payment for work done after 5 p.m. and before 8 a.m., and for preference to unionists, being refused. The strike lasted fourteen days, during which time slaughtering operations, &c, had to be suspended and a total of 320 men were rendered idle. The loss to the men in wages was £2,326. The loss sustained by the company is difficult to estimate, but there was considerable loss occasioned to the farmers through the sheep having to be sent back to the country, thereby causing depreciation in value and condition. The dispute was settled by agreement as to conditions of employment between the parties, the chief concession to the men being preference to unionists. One of the conditions of settlement was that the union should register under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, and the agreement mentioned be filed as an " industrial agreement " to be in force for three years. As the men were not working under any award or industrial agreement at the time, the strike was not illegal. General Labourers, Auckland (24th October, 1911).—In this instance, at the instigation of the General Labourers' Union, 310 men employed on city drainage-works in Auckland struck work on account of one employer letting a subcontract to six members of the union. The strike lasted for one week, during which time 330 men were idle. The loss in wages to them was £765, whilst the employers suffered to the extent of £433. The matter was settled by agreement, the Drainage Board undertaking to insert a clause in all future contracts prohibiting subcontracting Proceedings are pending against the union for a breach of the strike provisions of the Act.* General Labourers, Onehunga (7th October, 1911). —In this case twenty-three men employed at drainage-work demanded an increase in wages, and on this being refused they struck. They were receiving Is. 6d. per hour, part of their work being to attend to drainage leading to the sea, which could be done only when the tide allowed. The men asked for ss. for tidal work, irrespective of the time worked, which was usually not more than two hours. The men were idle for two days after which the contractor conceded the demand, as other men could not be obtained to carry on the work. The loss to the men in wages was £25, while the loss to the employer is estimated at £100. No action was taken against the men, as it was shown that they acted under the impression that the cancellation of their union, which had been applied for, had been effected, and that therefore the award under which they were working had expired, in which case they would not have been liable under the Act for striking. Coastal Ships' Officers, Wellington (2nd October, 1911).—In this case twenty-five mates, employed on small coastal steamers running out of Wellington, ceased work, being dissatisfied with the rates of pay and hours of work, particularly re overtime, fixed by an award of the Arbitration

* A penalty of £60 was subsequently imposed.

Court which came into force on the day they struck. The strike lasted five weeks, during which time the steamers affected were out of commission and 550 men were idle. The loss to the men in wages amounted to £6,000, whilst the corresponding loss to the shipping companies is estimated at £18,000. The dispute was settled by agreement between the owners and the Merchant Service Guild Industrial Union of Workers, to which the men belong, the former increasing the rates of pay, with a few exceptions, up to £1 per month above that fixed by the award, and agreeing to restrict the working of overtime to a minimum. The above-mentioned union was summoned before the Magistrate's Court for instigating the strike and fined £100. An appeal by the union against this decision is pending. Waterside Workers, Auckland (21st November, 1911). —In this case thirty-four men engaged in unloading a cargo (part of which included superphosphates) from the steamer " Paparoa " demanded an increase of 3d. per hour above the award rate of Is. 3d. On their request being refused they declined to proceed with the work. After half an hour, however, the demand was conceded and work was resumed. The loss to the men in wages amounted to £1 Is. 3d., whilst the loss to the employers was £8 10s. Proceedings against the workers' union for aiding and abetting an unlawful strike are pending.* There were also several minor disputes, which (1) were either of a trivial nature, for which reason it was not considered necessary to take action, or (2) did not come within the scope of the Act, there being no award or agreement in force. The following cases come under heading (1) : — Costume-makers, Auckland (one day). Hotel workers, Rotorua (one day). Labourers, Hastings (one day). Waterside workers, Timaru (two cases —one day and four hours respectively). The following cases come under heading (2) : — Dredge hands, Gisborne (one day). Dredgemen, Southland (one day). Freezing-chamber hands, Moturoa, Taranaki (one day). Labourers, Hastings (one day). Labourers, Wairoa (one day). Shearers, Otago (one day). Shearers, Masterton (one day). Threshing-millers, Timaru (one day). Waterside workers, Auckland (one day). Woollen-mill workers, Roslyn (seven days). A summary of the whole of the strikes which have occurred in New Zealand since the inception of the Act is given in the following return. It will be noted that of a total of sixtyrthree strikes over a period of eighteen years thirty-four, or 54 per cent, of the whole, are regarded as trivial or unimportant. Of the sixty-three strikes, thirty-three (nine of which were important) were outside the scope of the Act, and thirty under it. The loss to workers was estimated at £29,132, and to employers £37,134.

* The case was subsequently dismissed, the Court holding that the union was not responsible for the action of its secretary, at whose instigation the men ceased work. The evidence showed that the union had not authorized the secretary's action, which, the Court held, could not be treated as having been done by him in the course of his duties »s secretary of the union. Action is being taken by the Department against the men concerned. t Of this total, twelve strikes were of slaughtermen—practically one sympathetic dispute spread over the whole of the Dominion. Six were within the scope of Act, and six outside it.

It appears to be a somewhat frequent occurrence for employers to commence business in this way, and I think it is desirable that something should, if possible, be done to prevent persons entering into business in the manner above indicated. The clause contained in most awards providing for preference to unionists has, until recently, been very difficult to enforce. The requirement of these awards that an employment-book must be kept by the unions concerned —showing correct information as to the members of the unions from time to time out of employment, the nature of the work they are able to do, the names of the employers with whom they have been recently employed, &c. —is somewhat troublesome for union secretaries to comply with, and in some cases of alleged offences under the preference clause committed by employers the Department has been unable to take proceedings on account of the fact that the employment-books to be kept by the unions had not been properly kept. A more workable provision regarding preference is now generally contained in the various awards —viz., that when a non-member of a union is engaged by an employer the secretary of the union shall be entitled, if there be a member of his union able to do the work equally with the non-member, to call upon the employer to dismiss the non-member from his employment within seven days unless in the meantime the non-member joins the union. This clause is proving more satisfactory in the working to both employers and workers. A case of some importance concerning the relationships of different sections of workers in one industry came before the Court of Arbitration during the year —viz., the application of the Merchant Service Guild for an award providing for the working-conditions of employment of masters and officers. In this case a question was submitted for the opinion of the Court as to whether masters and officers should be dealt with in the same industrial dispute. In giving its opinion the Court said that it is doubtless essential in the interests of the travelling public that nothing should be done to weaken the authority of the shipmaster or to impair the discipline of the ship; that the interests of the public safety are of paramount importance : these questions, however, were questions for the Legislature to deal with. Under the Act as it at present stands shipmasters and officers are workers within the meaning of the Act —they are all engaged in one industry, and are entitled to form one union. Further, such a union is entitled to originate a dispute in connection with both shipmasters and officers and to have it disposed of. The Court thought it desirable, however, that, in view of the peculiar position of a shipmaster with regard to his officers, the dispute should be divided into two branches —one relating to masters and the other to officers. This decision opens up a somewhat large question as to whether the clauses of the Act relating to registration of unions should not make better provision to enable workers

* Slaughtermen only. f Of this total, twelve strikes were of slaughtermen—practically one sympathetic dispute spread over the whole of the Dominion. Six were within the scope of the Act, and six outside it.

such as the above, engaged in different branches of any industry, to register as separate unions. The general tendency of the registration of unions has been to amalgamate them in the different branches of industries within the respective districts, rather than in the direction of splitting the different unions up into smaller bodies; but I think in cases such as the above, where the interests of two sections of workers in one industry may at times be even opposed to one another, the question of their being registered separately under the Act should receive consideration. Another case somewhat on all-fours with the Shipmasters' and Officers' dispute is that of the Merchants' Assistants' dispute, which has for some time been before the Wellington Conciliation Council. The Merchants' Assistants' Union comprises not only the assistants in the various classes of warehouses, but also all grades of workers from storemen up to departmental managers. In this case also the dispute has been split up into branches in order to facilitate the settlement of same. Liability of Unions to Claims by Workers for Damages, &c. There has been a number of claims by workers against industrial unions for damages on account of having been prevented by union officials from working through being " unfinancial." In the case of Flowers v. Wellington Wharf Labourers' Union the plaintiff claimed that the union had prevented him from obtaining employment as a wharf labourer on the Wellington Wharf, and proceeded for a writ of mandamus commanding the union to recognize him as a member, and claimed the sum of £175 damages. His Honour Mr. Justice Cooper in his judgment stated: " I have upon the facts which I have stated come to the conclusion that the plaintiff has established a cause of action against the defendant union. He had ceased to be a member of the union before the award was made in April, 1908, and he was therefore, when the award came into operation, a non-unionist within the provisions of the preference clause, and was properly treated as such by the union. He was admitted a member of the union in May, 1908, and, although he made no written application for such admission, the necessity for such was waived by the union, for he was accepted as a member and treated as a member throughout that year and the year 1909. As he had from time to time tendered to the union the subscriptions becoming due, he has never since his admission to the union in 1908 been twelve months in arrear, and he is still a member of the union. In my opinion, he is also entitled to damages. The action of the union in refusing to recognize him as a member was wrongful, and, in warning employers not to employ him, was a breach of duty which it owed to him as a member, and has resulted in injury to the plaintiff sounding in damages. There will therefore be a judgment for the plaintiff for the sum of £50 damages, an order for the issue (if necessary) of a writ of mandamus, and judgment for costs on the lower scale, with an allowance of £7 17s. 6d. for the extra half-day over which the trial extended, and witnesses' expenses, and Court fees to be ascertained by the Registrar of this Court." Osborne v. the Greymouth Wharf Labourers : In this case the plaintiff had been fined by the union for divulging the business of the union, and at his refusing to pay the fine inflicted was declared "unfinancial." On the Ist December, 1910, the plaintiff was, whilst standing with other men waiting for employment, selected by the Union Steamship Company's representative for work. His name was entered upon the book, and he was proceeding to work when the secretary of defendant union stepped forward and objected to the plaintiff's employment. The plaintiff asked on what grounds he was objected to; the secretary replied because he was "unfinancial." The plaintiff then asked since when he was " unfinancial "; the secretary replied, since the date he (the plaintiff) was fined £3. He was therefore prevented from doing the work he was engaged for. In giving judgment Mr. Justice Denniston stated: "In the present case there had, in my opinion, been established between the Union Steamship Company and the plaintiff a contractual relation of employer and employed. The plaintiff stood among others as an applicant for work, he was selected by the company's agent, and his name written down by him. But for the interference of the secretary the work for the day or shift would have been undertaken without anything further said or done. I think, therefore, that in this particular instance the union inflicted an actionable injury on the plaintiff. The result of the conclusions is that the plaintiff is entitled to recover from the defendant union only the damages he has sustained by being deprived of what he would have earned by the work on the day or on the shift for which he had actually been engaged. As the plaintiff has failed to establish the main grounds on which he brought his action, Ido not think he is entitled to more than Magistrate's Court fees. Judgment for plaintiff for £1, with costs as in Magistrate's Court, including any witnesses called as to the claim on which he has succeeded."

The case Purvis v. Timaru Wharf Labourers' Union : A claim for 16s. 9d., a day's work lost through the union representing him as being unfinancial. Mr. V. G.

The increased expenditure upon the Councils is entirely due to the larger number of cases taken this year as compared with last. As will be seen from a table following, no less than 21 more cases were heard than during the previous year. The expenses of assessors of the Councils during 1911-12 for fees and travelling-expenses are as follows :—

For the year ending 31st March, 1912, twenty-eight workers' unions (with 2,180 members) and six employers' unions (with 165 members) were registered, whilst seventeen workers' unions voluntarily cancelled registration. Four associations of workers were also registered during the period. The provisions of the Act permitting of the amalgamation of unions in the one industry was responsible for the cancellation of four unions, which amalgamated and reregistered under one name. Fifteen workers' unions, seven employers' unions, and two associations of workers were cancelled as being defunct, having failed to send in returns according to section 17 of the Act. Under the amendment passed last session eleven workers' unions availed themselves of the power of altering their titles. This promises to be a very useful provision, as, on a very simple procedure, unions can more clearly indicate their scope in their titles without having to cancel registration, as was the case prior to the amendment coming into force. Thirty-three complete and thirty-six partial amendments of rules were accepted during the period. Arbitration Court, dec.

Most of the cases were taken in the Magistrate's Court, a total of 540 cases being dealt with in that Court. The total number of cases taken by the Department in both Courts is 558, of which 512 were successful. Seven of the 46 dismissed were considered by the Stipendiary Magistrates as trivial and excusable, and were disposed of accordingly under section 16 of the Amendment Act, 1908. In four instances the cause of dismissal was owing to conflicting evidence, while the remaining cases, not being proved to the satisfaction of the Court, were also dismissed. Full reports of the dismissed cases are given in the official Book of Awards, Agreements, &c, made under the Act. In the Arbitration Court cases the Department was successful in twelve instances, whilst five were dismissed. In the Magistrate's Court 500 were successful and forty-one were dismissed. In regard to the number of cases dismissed it should be explained that in a considerable number of the cases taken there were debatable or technical questions involved; and they were therefore mostly in the nature of "test" cases. In fact, it might be said that the number of deliberate breaches is much fewer than formerly. The fines awarded to the Department in the Arbitration Court amounted to £30; in the Magistrate's Court, £912 12s. The fines in the cases taken by unions amounted to £15 6s. (in the Magistrate's Court). The following is a table showing in detail the cases taken under the Act during the period : —

Some of these workers were only recently fined, while others disappeared either before or just after the penalties were imposed). £75 ss. 6d. is being paid by instalments; £2 13s. is owing by men against whom distress warrants have been issued, but so far without effect; £1 12s. 4d. by two workers who were recently drowned; and £8 by workers only recently fined, for the recovery of which the usual steps are being taken. Included in the total of £270 os. 3d. outstanding is the sum of £100 penalty inflicted on an industrial union of workers for aiding and abetting a strike. Enforcement of payment of the penalty is being held over pending an appeal to the Arbitration Court, which has been lodged by the union and which will be heard at an early date. Out of the total amount of penalties inflicted on slaughtermen in the year 1907 —viz., £1,330 —it will be noted that there is still an amount of £295 outstanding, or 22 per cent, of the whole. There is no change in these figures since the last report was published. Of the amount outstanding (£295), nearly two-thirds is due by seventy-two slaughtermen who cannot be traced. It is extremely doubtful whether the Department will be able to collect any more moneys due by slaughtermen, and, considering the whole of the circumstances surrounding these penalties, I think that the Department has done good work in getting in nearly 80 per cent, of the total amount inflicted.

Councils of Conciliation. The result of the Commissioners' work is summarized in the following table : —

Compared with last year the results show that twenty-one more cases were fully settled in 1911-12. Since their establishment in January, 1909, the Councils have dealt with 308 cases, and of this total 218 have been fully settled, whilst the number referred to the Court (i.e., in which no agreement has been effected by the Commissioners and their assessors) totals 34. Cases partly settled (i.e., leaving but a few clauses over to the Court) total 56. The reports of the Commissioners appear in this report (see page Ixxvi). Monet recovered for Workers under various Acts. The following table gives a list showing the amounts collected by the Department's Inspectors on behalf of workers : —

The total amount collected was £1,901 14s. 4d., as compared with £1,250 13s. Id. collected for the year ending 31st March, 1911. In all these cases the facts are fully inquired into by the Department's officers, and settlement is agreed to in cases of pure inadvertence only.

Wobkbrs' Compensation Act. During the year ending 31st March, 1912, twenty cases were brought before the Court of Arbitration under this Act, a decrease of four as compared with the previous year. As a result, four workers who had been partially incapacitated by accident were awarded sums totalling £233 10s. 5d., and one, who was suffering from neurasthenia, was awarded a nominal weekly sum until the extent of his incapacity could be determined. In three cases the relatives of workers killed by accident were awarded various sums totalling £885. The other ten cases were dismissed. The most important cases dealt with are as follow-: — (1.) Concerning the computation of earnings of a claimant to compensation : A master of a coastal steamer received a salary of £4 12s. 9d. per week, with board and lodging in addition. During thirty days of the period that he was employed lie lived at home, but this was not in pursuance of any agreement with his employers. It was held that the value of his board and lodging should be estimated at 10s. per week for the whole period of employment, as the board and lodging were at all times available. The plaintiff's earnings were therefore reckoned at £5 2s. 9d. per week, and as they exceeded £5 per w r eck he was not entitled to the benefits of the Act. (Decisions, Vol. x, p. 1.)

(2.) A seaman left his ship for his own purposes without obtaining the leave of the master, and in returning fell off the wharf and was drowned. It was held that the steamer and not the wharf was the scene or sphere of his duty, and that any accident that happened to him before he got back to the steamer could not be treated as having arisen out of his employment. (Decisions, Vol. x, p. 4). (3.) A widow- claimed compensation on account of the death of her husband who had separated from her and had been ordered to Tp&y a weekly sum for her maintenance but had not paid her any money for several years. It was held that the expression "benefits received" (by partial dependants) in section 4 (b) of the Workers' Compensation Act, 1908, meant benefits actually received and could not include payments that ought by law to have been, but actually were not, made to the dependants of the deceased worker. The widow was therefore not a " partial dependant "of her husband. If she had been a " total " dependant, she would have been entitled to compensation. (Decisions, Vol. x, p. 11.) (Note. —In consequence of this decision the Act was amended last session, entitling such persons to compensation.) (4.) The son of a deceased worker was in an industrial school, and the father had been ordered to pay 7s. per week towards the cost of the boy's maintenance. This sum was sufficient to cover the cost of his food and clothing. The payments made under the order were in arrear at the time of the father's death. It was held that in these circumstances the boy was a total dependant, the deceased having maintained him, with a little assistance from the State. (Decisions, Vol. x. p. 17). This case is distinguished from the former in that in the former the widow was merely a partial dependent (hence the words " benefits received ") whilst in the latter the boy was a total dependant. (5.) An engine-driver at a sawmill, while stripping off the burrs from the back of his axe after work had ceased for the day, was struck in the eye by a piece of iron from the axe, and in consequence last the sight of his eye. The keeping in order of his tools, although necessary to his work, had to be done in his own time, and did not come within the scope of the work he was employed to do. It was therefore held that this was not an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, and that he was not entitled to compensation. (Decisions, Vol. x, p. 22.) (6.) A plasterer's labourer who had been engaged in slacking lime, afterwards died of pneumonia. His widow claimed compensation on the ground that he had contracted the pneumonia as a result of inhaling poisonous fumes arising from the lime. It was held that the evidence did not establish the fact that the fumes had caused the pneumonia, and that even if that had been proved, it was not clear that this would be an injury by accident within the meaning of the Act. (Labour Journal, March, 1912, p. 175). A matter to which some attention has been called is the fact that there is no provision in the Act requiring employers or insurance companies to pay compensation to workers within any specified time. No doubt in the majority of cases compensation is paid promptly enough, but there are cases here and there w-here complaints are made to the Department of compensation not being paid promptly. I do not think it is practicable, however, for any definite period to be fixed in the Act, as delay must sometimes occur in ascertaining the nature and extent of the injuries received, and, in complicated cases, in arriving at the amount of compensation due. It will probably be sufficient for any complaints as to alleged delay in the payment of compensation to be intimated to the nearest Inspector of Factories, who will make inquiries from the persons concerned as to the cause of delay. If it is found that undue delay takes place to any extent, action as deemed necessary can then be taken. The Shearers and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act, 1908. Very considerable improvements have been effected in the accommodation provided for shearers this season as compared with that of last year. About 33 per cent, more sheds were visited, with generally very satisfactory results. The Inspectors under the Act have had an exceptionally busy time, especially those stationed at Gisborne, Napier, Wairoa, and Tolaga Bay. These officers have inspected and reported on 167 stations, some of which take from two to three days' journey to reach. As a general rule attention was given by the station-holders to any requirements or suggestions made by the Inspectors for the improvements of existing accommo-

datidn. In nearly all cases where full accommodation, additional buildings, or extensive alterations were ordered last year, the notices have been fully complied with, and in some cases sheepfarmers asked to be furnished with plans of accommodation required by the Act. These requests have been granted immediately by supplying all information on the subject, and also photographs of existing and up-to-date shearers' accommodation. In the majority of cases where improvements have not been carried out, the cause can be traced to either the transfer of properties, the difficulties of carting the necessary materials to the various stations (owing to the very bad roads), or the inability on the part of the owner to obtain the necessary skilled labour for the erection of the premises required. On receipt of information from an Inspector, pointing out that extenuating circumstances existed which caused delay in carrying out the terms of notices served, and the excuse being found to be of a valid nature, an extension of time has been granted for the execution of the work required. In only one instance has it been found necessary to apply to a Magistrate for an order to enforce the carrying-out of improvements ordered by the Department. Several complaints have been received in various parts of the Dominion as to the inadequate accommodation provided for the shearers on certain stations. These complaints have been thoroughly investigated, but only in a few instances were they found to be justified. The defects were ordered to be remedied forthwith, and as a general rule the improvements have been made good. A total of 428 places were inspected, showing an increase of 108 over last year's total inspection. Three hundred and nine were found to be satisfactory, in 36 cases full accommodation was required, in 14 cases extensive additions were necessary, and in 69 instances minor alterations only required attention. The whole of the improvements required were brought to the attention of the owners of the stations by written notice, and it is hoped that the Department's requirements will be completed before the next shearing season commences. Details showing the inspections made and conditions of the accommodation provided in the several districts of the Dominion are given at the end of the report (page cxiii). There was one case taken to Court for failing to provide adequate accommodation for farm labourers, in accordance with a notice from the Inspector. The Magistrate made an order for the accommodation ordered by the Inspector to be provided within three months —viz., a new building 40 ft. by 15 ft., two rooms, weatherboarded, iron roof, matohlined, seating-accommoda-tion in dining-rooms, one bunk for each worker, suitable ventilation, and windows open if necessary; a 400-gallon tank for water, and one W.C. Costs, including Inspector's expenses, amounting to £1 17s. were allowed the Department. It has been proposed to make this Act more workable by redrafting it, specifying more definitely the requirements as to accommodation, but chiefly providing for a more expeditious method of obtaining compliance with the notices of Inspectors. While, as has been mentioned, most stationholders comply with the notices issued, there are instances where such is not the case, and, owing to the cumbersome procedure of the existing Act, it frequently takes two or even three years to obtain compliance. The proposed procedure should prove less expensive to carry out, more satisfactory to the shearers who live in the accommodation provided, and at the same time it should not press more severely on employers except those who endeavour to escape from the operations of the Act. Scaffolding Inspection Act. Much good has been done by means of the inspection-work carried out under this Act in the direction of ordering the pulling-down or alteration of inferior scaffolding. From the reports of the Inspectors of Scaffolding appended particulars of the work done will be obtained. In connection with the working of this Act it has been suggested that better protection for workers employed in connection with the erection, demolition, or alteration of buildings should be provided by widening the scope of the Act to cover all such work instead of merely work done upon scaffolding, 6Vc. In accordance with this suggestion a report has been prepared, and in all probability suggestions will be made to you to alter the present law. There were thirty-one cases taken before the Court under the Act for the following offences :— Failing to notify Inspector of intention to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height ... ... ... ... ... 26 Failing to notify Inspector of accident within forty-eight hours ... ... 5

H.—ll

One of the cases, for failing to notify the Inspector of an accident, was dismissed. From the evidence given in Court it was found that the defendant had notified the Inspector as soon as the effects of the accident became known to him (the man had continued to work for several days after the occurrence of the accident). .It is pleasing to report that the provisions of the Act are generally loyally observed, and I hope to find the prosecutions for offences decrease from year to year. The accidents reported under the Act total 126 (last year 124), and the following table classifies them according to their severity : —-

Over 65 per cent, of the accidents are slight —that is, necessitating very little loss of employment. There were five fatal accidents (the same total as last year). Particulars regarding these are as follow : A bricklayer's labourer at Greymouth was seized with a fit whilst 8 ft. up a ladder, and fell to the ground; a builder's labourer at Auckland, whilst assisting to place a stone on top of a wall, overbalanced and fell 60 ft. ; a labourer, also at Auckland, whilst demolishing a building had his skull fractured through a case falling on him; a labourer, at Ohristchurch, when engaged in demolishing a building, was killed by a fall of a brick wall; a builder, at Dannevirke, whilst hauling up timber to the top of a verandah, overbalanced and fell to the footpath. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There were four prosecutions under this Act. Two were for charging more than the prescribed fees, one for failing to keep proper books, and one for conducting an office without a license. Convictions were obtained in all four cases. Generally the offices have been well conducted. The inspection of books by our officers discloses that, notwithstanding the alteration in the scale of fees prescribed by regulation in October, 1907, fixing lower fees for workers and higher for employers, in many registry-offices the workers alone are charged the prescribed fees, whilst the employers are either not charged at all for the services rendered or pay only a very small fee. Under the original regulations the fees chargeable to workers ranged from Is. to 10s. and to employers from Is. to ss. according to the wages to be paid; and it was found that while workers were called upon to pay the fees, employers were seldom charged : hence the revised scale fixing the fees at from Is. to ss. for workers and from 2s. to 10s. for employers. Of course, registry-office keepers are at liberty to charge either employer or worker any fee up to that prescribed or none at all if they choose, but the fact that the workers may generally be said to be charged the full fees while the employers are seldom charged calls for notice. The following table shows particulars of the number of engagements, the amounts paid respectively by employers and workers, &c. It should perhaps be explained in connection with the figures shown in the table that it has been found in a number of cases that, although employers may be shown as having been charged fees, the fees are not collected. The usual course followed appears to be that while workers engaged pay their fees at the time of engagements even when they do not actually take up w-ork, or at any rate do not stay at work more than a few days, employers do not pay any fees at the time of engagements, but are charged in regular accounts, and charges are probably not made at all when workers do not stay. Then employers are frequently charged at a less rate on account of the number of engagements made; also when the work consists of short jobs. These remarks do not, of course, account for the considerable number of instances in which no fee at all is charged to employers. With slight exceptions the fees payable by employers should be double the amount payable by workers.

Wages Protection and Contractors' Liens Act. A case worthy of note concerning the liability of persons having work done by contract occurred under this Act before the Stipendiary Magistrate at Napier. Sections 49 and 52 create a worker's right of lien and charge which attach to the whole interest of the owner of the land or chattel on which work is done by the contractor, but is limited to the moneys payable by the owner to the contractor under the contract and to thirty days' earnings of each workman. In section 59, subsection (2), it is provided that an employer shall retain in his hands one-fourth part of the moneys payable under the contract to the contractor until the expiration of thirty-one days after the completion of the work. In the case referred to —viz., Neal v. the Roman Catholic Mission —a claim for a charge was made in respect of wages due by defendants on excavating-work. There were also several other plaintiffs claiming in a similar way. The contractor, Hagen, performed part of his contract and then abandoned it after having received several progress-payments. It was shown that the owner had in such progress-payments paid more than the value of the work actually done. In his decision the Stipendiary Magistrate stated that " Moreover, even assuming the owner has paid the contractor more than the value of the work done, where there are, as here, bona fide claims of lien and charge made by workmen, he cannot, as we have seen, set up that overpayment as a defence. An owner who pays the contractor the full value of the work done (instead of retaining the onefourth part) cannot afterwards be heard to say there are no contract-moneys payable to the contractor for the contract." Judgment was therefore given for the plaintiff with the right of lien over the land in which the excavation had been made. Cost of Living. The inquiry conducted by the Department during the year, as outlined in last year's report, did not meet with the expected measure of success, in that only 69 workers sent in records which could be regarded as reliable and useful for statistical purposes. However, a complete analysis of the returns received was made, and the result was published in the April number of the Labour Journal. Later the article was published apart from the Journal and is available for those interested in the question. Whilst the inquiry showed that the data was supplied almost exclusively from thrifty and careful workers, the results will be valuable in many ways for the purposes of comparison in later years. The relation of income to expenditure in various family and income groups is shown, and a general analysis of expenditure under five main headings— i.e., housing, food, clothing, fuel, and light —and other items, makes interesting reading. It is especially noted how unfavourably the man with a large family compared with the man w-ho had few- or no children. The latter appeared to be able to save in rent and clothing, to have more luxuries in the way of food, and at each week end to show a larger amount of money saved than his mate who was bringing up a family of children. Another feature of the Department's inquiry was in respect to the rent problem. The figures published emphasized the high rents ruling in Welling-

ton as compared with other centres for houses of the same sizes and classes and situated in city areas. The rents in Wellington were quoted as representing the index number 100, whilst in comparison Dunedin and Auckland ranged from 72 to 76 and Ohristchurch from 70 to 72. In the event of inquiries on a larger scale being made into this important question, on the lines already indicated, by the Government, the information already collected by the Department should prove of value. In this connection the following table showing the fall in the proportion of the rural population as compared with the urban population is exceedingly significant:—

Return showing the growth of Urban Population of New Zealand from 1881 to 1911.

or while the county population in 1881 was 150 to 100 in boroughs, in 1911 it was 99 to 100. Note. —A population of 500 is necessary to constitute a town district, and a population of 1,000 is necessary to constitute a borough. The population of town districts is included in the county population in the above figures. In all probability if they were included in the borough population instead, leaving the purely rural population in the counties, the figures would show a larger decrease in the rural population than is indicated. The Licensing Amendment Act, 1910. Registration of Barmaids. The duty imposed on the Department by section 36 of the above Act of registering barmaids was completed during the year. A total of 1,062 registrations was effected, and each person concerned was supplied with a certificate. Every care was taken that the applicants had complied with the provisions of the Act, the statutory declarations being verified by officers of the Department. A few cases of hardship came under notice —viz., where registration was necessarily refused on account of the applications not having been received by the Ist June, 1911, the date specified in the Act, also where by reason of illness or temporary absence a number of applicants who were bona fide barmaids had not served the required three months in hotel bars in New Zealand during the preceding year as required by the Act. Labour Journal. The Journal has been published regularly at monthly intervals. It has now reached its twentieth year of issue. Great care has been taken to give reliable information each month regarding the condition of trade and employment in the four chief centres and secondary towns of New Zealand. This information is found to be of great value to correspondents abroad. The reports on trade conditions from union secretaries are not sent in very regularly, and one is forced to the conclusion already expressed that unionists and workers generally are satisfied with the reliability of the reports supplied by the Department's Officers. isggpfi ~ "• - ;■ . . . ... .... . ..

1911. this should prove very useful for reference. An addition was made to the index this year in the direction of indicating the latest award in force in each industry in the respective localities. Supplementary digests of the decisions under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act and Workers' Compensation Act for the year were compiled by Mr, W. A. Sim, late Associate to the Judge of the Arbitration Court. Volume xof cases under the Workers' Compensation Act was also issued. It contains all the decisions of the Court of Arbitration for the year ending 31st December, 1911, with a complete index (Vols. i-x). Industrial Statistics. The alteration in the method of collecting statistical data concerning the number of hands employed, wages paid, &c, in the various factories in New Zealand, as decided upon by the Department last year, will enable us to furnish for general information much more reliable figures on the subject than has been the case in the past. The statistics will be attached to this report ir a separate appendix and will cover the work done in the various factories throughout the whole of the year ending 31st March, 1911. While information gathered by the Department in previous years has no doubt been valuable as showing the number of hands employed, wages paid, &c, as at the Ist April of each year, still such information cannot be regarded as satisfactory inasmuch as many factories are, of course, slack on the Ist April while some may be abnormally busy. It is only by covering the whole year's work that satisfactory data can be obtained. As this procedure involves a very much larger amount of work than under the former system, it has, as was stated last year, been decided that this information should be collected once in five years only, the information to be gathered in the intervening four years to be very much simplified. A very valuable item of information that will appear in the appendix referred to will be that showing the duration of employment in the various trades. In the event of the question of unemployment being dealt with in the near future by way of unemployment insurance or otherwise, this information will undoubtedly prove most useful. In regard to the future collection of the information required for the above statistics : it is proposed to divide the various factories into five trade groups, taking one group in each of the five years, so that the work of five years may be as far as possible equally distributed from year to year, and this course will also enable the Department to specialize on the particular groups taken in hand each year. It is also hoped to reduce the amount of work that has been given to employers in supplying returns to the Department by so arranging their wage-books (already required under the Factories and other Acts) as to enable the Department to collect the information required direct from the books. Another question that has been engaging the attention of the Department for some years has been that of making a comparison between the rates provided for in the various awards and the actual rates paid by manufacturers to their workers. Some tables have in previous years been compiled by the Department and published, but considerable difficulty has been experienced in making the information reliable on account of the fact that the exact work performed by the different workers and the time taken in earning the wages paid are not always clearly shown on the returns. It was hoped to be able to obtain sufficiently definite information on these lines from the wages-sheets collected last year, from which the first of the five-yearly statistics are being published, but it has been found that the information available is also not sufficient to enable us to make a reliable comparison. It is therefore proposed by the Department, as opportunity occurs, to make inquiries from time to time in groups of trades, as the Inspectors of Awards are carrying out their ordinary inspection duties, when, in the course of their examination of tht wages-books, they will take notes as to the cases in which the rates actually paid to the workers exceed those provided for by the awards. It has been found that in order to obtain satisfactory information it is necessary to make a separate examination in respect of each worker instead of dealing with them in groups. By following this course the Department will be able to obtain exactly the information that is required, and which, as outlined above, has been found wanting in the returns supplied. Women's Employment Branches. The number of persons assisted this year totals 2,215, a slight decrease on the figures of the previous year. A schedule at the end of this report gives details concerning the number sent to work by each office. In the four centres the following are the totals for the period : Wellington, 636; Auckland, 626; Ohristchurch, 548; and Dunedin, 283. The reports from the officers in charge all emphasize the fact that the difficulty of securing women workers grows more acute with

each passing year, and the business transacted by the branches is measured by the number of applicants for work. With rare exceptions there has been work offering for all women callers, and new arrivals from oversea have the choice of many positions on the day of landing in the Dominion. The following table shows the total number of workers assisted since the establishment of the branches in 1908 :— 1908 (10 months) ... ... ... ... ... ... 2,542 1909-10 ... ... ... /.. ... ... ... 2,655 1910-11 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 2,244 . 1911-12 ~. ... ... ... ... ... ... 2,215 Total ... ... ... ... ... 9,656 Of the total number assisted this year, 445 were married, 1,770 were single or widows; 375 came from Great Britain, and 51 from the Commonwealth, the balance hailing from either the North or South Island of New Zealand. The " Sedgwick Boys." In continuation of my remarks last year on the work of these boys in their respective positions on the farms in New Zealand, I would like to give a short history of the scheme. Fifty boys were selected by Mr. T. E. Sedgwick (a Londoner) for work on New Zealand farms; twenty-five of the boys came from Liverpool, and twenty-five from London, their ages ranging from sixteen to nineteen years. In the majority of cases the boys did not possess any experience in farm-work; some had been engaged in factories, others in shops and offices; most of them were not learning any trade whilst in England, and many of them lost time through unemployment. Generally they were the sons of very poor parents —some of them, in fact, were actually reported to be frequently short of food whilst in the Homeland. Two hundred and fifty farmers in New Zealand had offered to co-operate with the Department in the experiment by giving work to the boys on arrival, and fifty of the most suitable situations were reported on by the officers of the Department. These employers offered certain wages and working-conditions covering a period of three years or less according to the ages of the boys concerned. lam pleased to say that, with comparatively few exceptions, the lads have stayed in the positions originally selected for them by the Department. After the fourteen months experience with these fifty boys (i.e., to 31st March), I would classify them into the following three divisions : (a) Thirty-seven —those who have made good progress and have given the Department no trouble; (b) Six —those whose conduct has not been entirely satisfactory, but who we expect will turn out all right eventually; and (c) Seven —those whose behaviour has been so unsatisfactory that it is unlikely they will prove successful. In the last section five of the boys made no real effort to do farm-w-ork, while the remaining two absconded, and have not since been traced. Considering the environments from which the boys came, the strangeness of their new surroundings, and that they had had no experience in farm-work or rural life, I think that the conclusion one must come to is that the scheme has on the whole worked satisfactorily. (In this comment I am, of course, not taking into account the question of how the local supply of labour may be affected by the immigration of these boys.) Even had fifty city colonial boys been dealt with in a similar way, it is doubtful whether a larger percentage would have been loyal to their employers and to the Department. In some cases the Department selected two and even three boys for positions on one farm. With one exception, this selection has not turned out satisfactorily, owing to the boys becoming disaffected and plotting amongst themselves. Transfers had therefore to be made. Since then, however, the boys placed on different farms have—individually—made better progress and have been more contented. A rather remarkable feature in connection with the boys who have been unfavourably reported on is that they are all over the maximum age fixed by the Department for selection by Mr. Sedgwick —viz., eighteen years. The older boys were not only difficult to train, but were not so amenable to discipline as their younger companions. It would have been better had the condition laid down by the Department been adhered to. In the few cases where difficulty has been experienced in controlling the boys, the Department has been successful chiefly by sending its nearest agent to visit them. By this means several misunderstandings and grievances have been satisfactorily righted; in some cases a transfer to a new district has been effective, whilst in the more serious cases I have had to

bring the boys to Wellington and personally interview them as to their conduct. In only one case have extreme measures been taken. After three trials on different farms, I arranged for one boy to work his passage back to England rather than let him remain in New Zealand to loaf around in search of casual work. During their first year (ending 24th January, 1912), the boys earned a total sum of £1,112 75., an average of 10s. 4d. a week per head. In addition, in 70 per cent, of the cases the employers found the boys in all necessary wearing-apparel. The whole of the transit expenses of the boys incurred by the Department from Wellington to their destinations will be refunded, so that the Department will be at no monetary loss. In addition to conducting correspondence with the boys and the employers concerned, the Department has in 20 per cent, of the cases bought the necessary clothing, boots, &c, for the boys. These purchases have been made in the cheapest, and best market —generally from local wholesale warehouses, and without exception, the purchases have been satisfactory to the lads. The correspondence has been very heavy, as each boy writes monthly to the Department, and in many cases more frequently if occasion requires it. Each letter is answered, and an encouraging word is sent to those who are endeavouring to succeed with their work. Beyond a few minor accidents and complaints, the boys have suffered no illnesses in New Zealand, whilst most of them have gained in weight by from one to two and a half stone. Viewed generally it has been a valuable experiment, and if full and legal control could be gained over the boys it would tend to perfecting the scheme. Right at the root of the matter, however, lies the necessity for greater care to be taken in the selection of the boys. Character should form the first requirement, then good health and evidence of physical well-being. In no case should town boys who are over the age of seventeen years be selected for farm-work in New Zealand. I have to thank the farmers and most of the boys concerned for their hearty co-operation in the experiment. The agents of the Department at Timaru, Palmerston North, and Invercargill have taken a specially sympathetic interest in the welfare of the boys in their districts, and have thus assisted largely in the success of the work. Departmental Library. Valuable additions have been made to the library, publications respecting social, economic, and industrial matters being regularly received from all portions of the globe. The blue-books and literature received have been very valuable, more especially those published by the British, United States, and Canadian Labour Departments. Much interesting and useful material relative to the cost of living has also come to hand, dealing mainly with inquiries instituted in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, United States of America, and the Commonwealth of Australia. These works do not touch on the causes leading to the alleged increase in the cost of living, but, almost without exception, comprise statistics collected showing how the workers spend their earnings on main items of expenditure —viz., rent, food, clothing, fuel, and light, &c, in much the same manner as is shown in the inquiry instituted in New Zealand and already mentioned. Valuable publications entitled " Women and Child Labour in the United States of America " have been added. Each volume deals with a separate trade or phase of child or woman labour. Steps are being taken to collect the whole of the Australian publications on industrial legislation for inclusion in the Department's library. The determinations of the Wages Boards of Victoria and Tasmania continue to be regularly received, but the library seems to lack a complete set of the statutes passed by the Australian States and the Commonwealth. Although the library has not been availed of to any great extent by the general public, it was of value to many visitors to New Zealand who found it a great convenience for reference purposes. To the officers of the Department it has proved invaluable in many matters affecting its work. General. The correspondence of the Department continues to increase rapidly. In the Head Office there were 16,900 separate letters despatched (nearly 60 per day), and 16,090 received; 1,476 telegrams were sent out, and 1,406 received. There were also the usual circulars to occupiers of factories and shops in connection with their annual returns; the notices (amounting to many thousands) sent out with copies of Arbitration Court awards to each employer concerned; and circulars (numbering about 10,000) on other matters. The bringing into operation of the Workers' Dwellings Act of 1910 has involved a large increase in correspondence.

REPORTS OF LOCAL INSPECTORS OF FACTORIES AND AGENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR.

AUCKLAND. Sir, — Department of Labour, Auckland, Bth April, 1912. I have the honour to submit for your consideration my report for the year ending 31st March, 1912. Labour. It is pleasing to record that the year just ended has been a very busy and progressive one, all classes of labour having enjoyed a most satisfactory year. Tradesmen in all branches of the building trade have been fully employed, and, with the exception of stonemasons, continue to be so. The latter branch has fallen off considerably during the year, due to the fact that several buildings in which stone was used have been completed; yet in this case only one man has reported himself as out of work. The engineering trade has improved during the year, and no men have been reported out of work since December last. Brickmakers also have been very busy throughout the period, and continue so. There is every prospect of the present activity in the skilled trades continuing for some time to come. Unskilled labour has had a very satisfactory year. There has been no difficulty in capable men obtaining employment, which is due to the extensive drainage-works, and also to the general activity of the building trades. During the year there have been assisted to work, through the office, 1,250 men —viz., 206 married men with 477 dependent upon them, and 1,044 single men. Twenty-five wives have also been assisted to join their husbands. Of the above number, 638 men were sent to private work, and 612 to railway and other public works. At no time during the year has theie been any congestion of labour, as all suitable men were readily placed in work. The difficulty has been to get suitable men to supply the requirements of farmers, as during the busy season many applications for farm hands, milkers, &c, could not be filled because we had no suitable men to send; we firmly declined to send undesirables, of whom, unfortunately, there'are plenty. Factories Act. There is very little trouble given in the administration of this Act. It is so well known by both employers and employees that evasions rarely occur, and they are not of a serious character when discovered and inquired into. During the period under review factories in all branches of industry have had a busy year, and in some trades (notably shirtmaking and clothing) employers have experienced difficulty in getting hands to cope successfully with the demand made on them. This year 1,608 factories, employing 11,525 persons, were registered. There are also 1,922 employers who are generally employed in the factories, but are not included in the number given above, so that there are actually 13,447 persons employed. Details of employees are : 685 males under sixteen years, and 7,539 males over sixteen years; total male employees, 8,224: 561 females under sixteen years, and 2,740 females over sixteen years; total female employees, 3,301. Five hundred and sixty-four permits have been issued to persons under sixteen years to work in factories —viz., 256 boys and 308 girls. Of the boys, 103 passed Standard IV, 53 passed Standard V, 96 passed Standard VI, and 4 Standard VII. Of the girls, 133 passed Standard IV, 73 passed Standard V, 98 passed Standard VI, and 4 passed Standard VII. It is pleasing to note that there is a great improvement in the number of children who have passed Standard VI as compared with last year's return, being 204 as against 112 for last year. It is to be regretted that a goodly number of young persons (chiefly boys) do not pass the Fourth Standard, and being over fifteen years of age, cannot be compelled to go to school, so that the Inspector is faced with the alternative of giving them a chance to learn a trade or allowing them to run wild on the streets. I may add the former course is generally adopted. Every possible inquiry is made before issuing permits, and in the case of the boys referred to it is generally found that the boy is the victim of the parents' negligence. There were 1,916 women and boys who worked 85,471 hours' overtime, and 564 men who worked 32,818 hours' overtime. There is a considerable falling-off from last year's return, the reason, so far as women and boys are concerned, being that work has been more steady, and the necessity for overtime did not arise so frequently. Two hundred and seventy-eight accidents were reported during the yaer — one fatal, 28 serious, the remainder slight, or not of a serious nature, consisting of cuts, bruises, &c, incidental to work in factories where machinery is employed, and necessitating in most cases absence from work for only a few days. Care is taken to see that machinery is properly guarded. There were 188 investigations made into alleged breaches of the Act. In 115 cases there was no cause for complaint; in 48 cases there were trifling irregularities, which were promptly rectified: 25 cases were taken before the Court, and 23 convictions, with penalties amounting to £44 lis. and £12 2s. 6d. costs, were secured, and 2 cases were dismissed without costs. There was also the sum of £12 Bs., arrears of wages, paid to workers through the means of this office.

Shops and Offices Act. The provisions of this Act are very w-ell observed, and there is not much evasion practised. If there is, it is done so very carefully that it is difficult to detect. There are some weak points in the Act, no doubt, but the weakest is the want of a general closing-hour. The restrictions variously placed on shopkeepers should have a general application —they should be treated alike, with no exceptions. If large establishments which carry on their business by paid assistants have to close at a given hour, so should those that have no assistants, and are under practically no expense, Subsection (8) of section 25 is also unsatisfactory; there is no provision to remove tobacco, &c, out of the shop, or lock it up after 9 p.m., the hour fixed by the Auckland tobacconists' requisition for closing tobacconists' shops, and there is a feeling that shops that sell tobacco as a side line only, and are therefore privileged to keep open, do sell tobacco after 9 p.m.. I can only say that neither my Inspectors nor myself have been able to catch any one in the act of selling tobacco after the tobacconists' closing-hours, and we have spent much time in trying to " bag such game " legitimately, but without avail. We are told it is done, but we cannot detect it. During the year 2,115 shops were registered —viz., 633, employing 3,759 assistants —2,278 males and 1,481 women; 1,482, wherein no assistants are employed; this total includes 54 hotels, employing 430 assistants —viz., 195 males and 235 females. Overtime was worked by 518 males, 9,548 hours, and 517 females, 4,421 hours. There were 142 cases investigated; 64 were of a trifling nature, and 78 were taken before the Court; 76 convictions, with £79 ss. penalties and £34 19s. 4d. costs, were secured; and the sum of £6 135., arrears of wages, was paid to assistants through the Department. Two cases were dismissed. Servants' Registry Office Act. In the administration of this Act there has been very little trouble, due, no doubt, in a measure to the fact that the offices have not been very busy during the year. Four complaints have been investigated, and in each case a prosecution followed. Convictions, with £6 penalties and costs £3 25., were ordered. There were 25 offices registered. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The administration of this Act caused a considerable amount of work during the early part of the year; but towards the close there appeared to be a greater tendency on the part of all concerned to endeavour to observe the terms of their awards or industrial agreements. During the year inquiries had to be made into several serious offences, amongst which I would mention the following: (1.) The Inspector of Awards found that an hotelkeeper had made a false entry in a wages and overtime book; in this case proceedings were taken, and the employer was fined £30 and costs. (2.) Inquiries have been made in five alleged breaches of the amended Act, 1908, re strikes, and in two cases the Department decided to take proceedings against the unions, which cases are now awaiting the pleasure of the Court. During the year 669 complaints were inquired into, most of which were lodged by secretaries of unions. In 366 cases it was found that no offence had been committed; in 81 cases the offence was met by warnings being given, or settled by arrears of wages being paid to the workers : 222 cases were referred to the Court, and of these 151 were against employers and 71 against workers; 5 cases were w-ithdrawn; in 2 cases the Inspector was non-suited, 13 cases were dismissed, and in the remaining 202 cases judgment was entered for the Inspector, with penalties amounting to £312 45., with costs £52 17s. 3d. The local trade-unions filed 20 cases before the Court, and judgment was given in 14 cases, with fines amounting to £13 65., and costs £9 6s. The Department has given great attention to section 58 of the amended Act of 1908, re the proper keeping of wages and overtime books. One hundred and eight complaints have been inquired into; in 43 cases warnings were given; in 2 cases no offence v-as disclosed; while 63 cases were referred to the Magistrate's Court. Convictions were recorded in all cases, with fines amounting to £166 10s., and costs £34 9s. 2d. £316 2s. o|d. was paid through the Department by employers as arrears of wages due to workers, and in due course was handed to the workers concerned. Permits have been issued to 63 persons to work under rate under the following awards —viz., 35 males and 28 females: Men —Rattan, 1; engineers, 1; moulders, lj carpenters, 8; general labourers, 4; blacksmiths, 1; bookmakers, 6; bricklayers, 2; butchers, 1; furniture trade, 4; boilermakers, 1; soap and candle workers, 1; fellmongers, 1; sheet-metalworkers, 1; painters, 1. Women —New Zealand Federated Tailoresses, 18; shop tailoresses, 9; boot trade, 1. Workers' Dwellings Act, 1910. This Act has taken up a considerable amount of my time in attending on the large number of persons who called to examine plans and get what information they required with regard to the working of the scheme. I think we can claim that the scheme has been very successful in this district, as a first batch of some 23 houses is nearing completion, and a further large number of persons (some 35) applied for and have been approved as suitable applicants for houses, which will no doubt soon be tendered for. In fact, the trouble is now to get enough sections at the land set apart for the purpose at Ellerslie and Otahuhu.

Conclusion. I cannot close this report without testifying to the excellent manner in which I have been assisted by the members of the local staff. One and all have worked admirably in the interests of the Department, and I would be wanting in my duty were I not to take this opportunity to thank them. We have had a very busy and trying year, caused very largely by our being required to collect so much statistical matter in connection with the industrial census. In conclusion, I have to thank all others with whom my duties have brought me into contact for their uniform courtesy and kindness. I have, &c, James Shanaghan. Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

WELLINGTON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 15th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit for your consideration my report of the working of the Factories, Shops and Offices, &c, Acts in Wellington City during the year ended 31st March, 1912. General. Conditions of employment throughout the year have been very favourable. It must be said, however, that this fortunate state has not been occasioned by any extra amount of work offering in the district, but rather by many of our workers being engaged in other places where trade has boomed, chiefly Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland, simply relieving us of any congestion of unemployment. Reports from retailers have not been enthusiastic. Drapers, clothiers, boot and provision dealers have had a fair year, but shopkeepers dealing in goods other than the necessaries of life complain that trade has been somewhat depressed. One reason put forward is the enormous patronage now given.to the large number of picture theatres. Another is the high price ruling for provisions, which naturally decreases the spending-pow-er on outside lines. Manufacturers generally have had a very busy year, particularly in the clothing, shirt, tailoring, dressmaking, and woollen-milling factories. The shortage of female and boy labour is still acute, and has considerably retarded business in these industries. The boot trade slackened during the latter half of the year, and in the engineering and sawmilling industries business has been only moderate. Beyond these, how-ever, the manufacturing industries have had a successful year. Building Trades. —The only large contracts have been the General Post Office and the Children's Hospital; and the statistics of the City Building Superintendent show the total value of building-work for which permits were issued during the year as decrease of £37,720 on the previous year. Notwithstanding this, trade in all branches has, from an employment view, been steady. Woodworking Trades. ---The furniture trade has been very good, a number of factories being handicapped by lack of tradesmen. Boxmaking and coopering have been busy throughout. Sawmilling and sash and door factories have been quiet. Leather Trades. —In boot-factories the excellent business reported in the previous year has received a slight check, but trade has been sufficient to employ all available labour. The scarcity of female machinists still obtains. In saddlery and harnessmaking steady business has been maintained, and full employment has been made. Engineering Trades. —lronfounding and mechanical engineering have shown little or no improvement, orders being restricted mainly to iron-girder and repair work. Electrical engineering has been quiet in the city, but outside work and contracts have kept business well up to the usual mark. Clothing Trades. —The large orders for the Territorial Forces have greatly increased the work in clothing-factories. The marked shortage of female labour has been a serious handicap to the extension of this industry, and has occasioned considerable overtime being worked. Shirtfactories are in the same plight. Some occupiers state that they have sufficient orders in hand to cover a period of three or four years. As no workers are available, employers are forced in many instances to send work to women who can do it at home, but who cannot work at a factory. Dressmaking and millinery have had a very satisfactory year. At the time of writing there is a difficulty in securing hands. Woollen-milling has been at high pressure during the year, and the demand for boys and girls has been unsatisfied. Printing and bookbinding trades report excellent business, and there has been full employment for all tradesmen. Coachbuilding trades report a better year than the previous one, but the advance of the motor has made serious! inroads on this industry. The cycle and motor trade has done well in season. The frozen-meat trade was retarded by a strike, and, although there was a marked activity when the strike ended, the. year's returns in this industry will be less than they would otherwise have been.

A factory has been started for the manufacture of oleomargarine, a substitute for butter. If the high price of butter continues this substitute will certainly be appreciated, for cooking purposes at least. The Factories Act. The enforcement of this Act undoubtedly meets the least resistance of any of the labour laws in the statute-book. Its provisions are well defined, and accepted generally, which makes compliance therewith so much the easier. The inspection of all factories has been completed, every factory in the district being visited, and where females are employed the lady Inspector (Miss Bremner) has also exercised supervision. Particular attention has been given to bakehouses and other factories manufacturing articles of food for human consumption. Two bakehouses were condemned, and in several others considerable improvements were carried out on requisition. I consider that such places as sugar-boiling and confectionery establishments (in fact, all places where foodstuffs are made) should be included in the interpretation of a " factory," no matter what the number of persons employed. The suggestion made last year to the Architects' Association tha.t plans of new factories or of intended alterations be first submitted to the Inspector has been acted upon with advantage to all concerned. With regard to means of fire-escape, an important amendment has been made to the Municipal Corporations Act, which makes it incumbent upon the local authority to see that proper means of escape in case of fire are provided in any building over one storey in height which is used for " office " or any other purpose. This is a great assistance to ourselves, and particularly the factory occupiers, who often had to provide a fire-escape for a building occupied by many tenants which obviously should have been provided by the owner. This new measure will put the responsibility upon the proper person —the owner. Ihe limit of time (section 61) for taking proceedings for offences under sections 32, 38, and 54 should, I respectfully submit, be extended to at least six months. The shortage of boy and girl labour, quoted previously, is a matter requiring grave consideration. The higher standard of education required for exemption from attending school, the more advanced age at which many leave school, the increased facilities for secondary education creating a tendency for clerical work, and the desire of many boys and girls to get the highest wage at the beginning are obvious causes of the shortage in skilled trades. The Director of the Technical School quotes the following figures showing how the various classes were attended last year : Arts and crafts, 275; building, 15; painting and decoration, 11; carpentry, 34; plumbing, 116; engineering, 134; wool-classing, 42; science, 204; domestic economy, 71; commercial subjects, 636. When it is considered that a large number of pupils attending secondary schools probably acquire a grounding in commercial subjects which does not necessitate further attendance at the technical schools, it will be readily seen that there is a marked tendency on the part of young persons to secure clerical and other light work, and trades requiring manual workers must suffer thereby. During the year 1,177 factories were registered. This is an increase of 79. Certificates of fitness to young persons under sixteen years of age to work in factories were issued to 414 persons —163 boys and 251 girls. This is an increase of but 21 on the number issued last year. During the year 2,064 boys and women worked 58,871 hours, an increase of 54 persons and of 3,969 hours' overtime worked. My remarks respecting the shortage of labour in the clothing trades will indicate the cause of this increase. In Chinese laundries the overtime has not been excessive, 23 males working 263 hours' overtime. The work in Chinese laundries is mainly restricted to shirts and collars, and the decadence of the starched shirt has so decreased their business that little overtime is now necessary. There were 141 accidents reported. This is an increase of 34 on the number reported last year. One was fatal —a man at the gasworks fell from the top of a retort bench down the well of the staircase. Ten were of a serious nature, and the balance (130) slight. The severe injuries were : Loss of a leg, an arm amputated, and in 8 cases joints of fingers were severed. In every case the person injured was advised, regarding compensation, and the scene of the accident visited to see whether any alterations could be made to prevent recurrence. Prosecutions. —No breach of a sufficiently serious nature to warrant prosecution occurred during the year. Any omission has been made good, and all defects remedied immediately upon requisition. A sum of £7 Is. Id. was recovered and disbursed to the workers concerned. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 1,576 shops were registered. This includes hotels and restaurants, which are now " shops " within the meaning of the Act. Inspection was complete, each shop being visited. Very few adjustments were found necessary, conditions on the whole being very satisfactory. The City Council is bringing in a set of regulations requiring certain conditions for butchers' shops. This is a step in the right direction, and I w-ould like to see it extended to establish model lines for bakers' shops; in fact, it would be advisable to have such regulations put in force under this Act and the Factories Act. The absence of any provision in this Act for enforcing fire-escapes from shops is now obviated by the amendment to the Municipal Corporations Act.

With regard to the closing of shops, so many classes of trade have taken advantage of the provision to fix their own closing-hours that the hours of all shops might now well be fixed by statute. Subsection (5) of section 25 removes aliens from the operation of the whole section. This requires amending so as to simply exclude them from the power of voting re any requisition, as was evidently intended. There are now no less than twenty-two requisitions in force, and the closing-hour varies from 5 to 11.30 o'clock. This will indicate the amount of work involved in the surveillance. I would recommend that 8 o'clock be fixed as a general closing-hour on ordinary nights, and 10 o'clock on the long night for all shops excepting bakers, confectioners, and fruiterers, which may practically be taken as being the only shops not governed by a requisition, and which keep open later than the hours suggested. If any want to close earlier they could do so, but it is clear the time is ripe for such a law. Warrants for overtime were issued to 893 shop-assistants, who worked 17,245 hours. This is a slight increase on the overtime worked in the previous year. In hotels and restaurants 57 assistants were recorded as having worked 672 hours' overtime. The provision re accumulated holidays—section 7 of the Amendment Act —was fully taken advantage of, 78 notices of such arrangement being recorded. Consent for employment of assistants in hotels on the half-holiday (section 8) was given in 20 cases. Prosecutions. —There was a considerable increase in the number of prosecutions, 49 cases being taken as against 17 in the previous year. Convictions secured in 48 cases and 1 case was dismissed. The large number of prosecutions was mainly due to the persistency of the Chinese shopkeepers employing assistants after the prescribed time, and some of these occupiers were heavily fined on a third conviction within a short period. Two cases were taken for test purposes —one as to the proper construction to put upon the half-hour's grace (sections 3 (1) and 37); the other in order to ascertain whether an award of the Arbitration Court was inconsistent in narrowing or limiting the provisions of the statute. Decisions are given on another page. In the settlement of disputes re wages due under the Act a sum of £6 17s. Id. was recovered and disbursed to payees. Servants' Registry Offices. During the year 4 original licenses were issued, and 6 renewed. No complaints were made, and complete inspection of all offices showed that the provisions of the Act were understood and adhered to. lam submitting a table showing the fees charged bj- licensees to (1) the employers, and (2) the servants. In a total number of 3,492 engagements, £601 12s. 2d. was paid by 3,306 workers, whilst the sum of £455 7s. 6d. was paid by 1,486 employers. When it is considered that the maximum fee payable by the employer is double that payable by the worker it will be seen that approximately but 33J per cent, of the fees payable is recovered from <;he employer, and no less than 95 per cent, from the servant. Shearers' Accommodation, etc., Act. Following the complete inspection made in the previous year, it was found necessary this year to visit only two shearing-sheds respecting intended improvements. No complaints were received during the year. Wop.kers' Compensation Act. In addition to cases of accidents in factories, advice has been given to a number of other claimants as to their position under the Act. The provisions of the Amendment Act re agreements of settlement being first approved by a Magistrate or an Inspector of Factories will no doubt prove of benefit to claimants. At the time of writing several proposed agreements have been so submitted for approval w-here but for this new measure claimants would probably have had to pay for legal advice. No provision is made under the Second Schedule for the total loss of part of the thumb of the left hand. A case came under my notice, and settlement was made by the insurance company paying the ratio fixed for the loss of a joint of a finger — i.e., 5 per cent. I think the compensation should be fixed at 10 per cent. In conclusion, I desire to thank the District Health Officer and the City Engineer for their co-operation in dealing with matters requiring our joint supervision. I have, &c, E. Lb Cren, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 15th April, 1912. I have to report as follows on the administration of awards, &c, in the Wellington District under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act for the year ending 31st March 1912. The cases calling for special mention were the strike of officers on coastal steamers and the strike of tramwaymen. In the first-mentioned case the trouble was in regard to wages, overtime, &c. The matter had been before the Court, and the award rite fixed was not considered satisfactory, with the result that 25 men left their ships, forcing 556 others out of employment,

H.—ll.

and remained on strike for five weeks. During practically the whole of this time the boats were tied up to the wharves, and great inconvenience was caused at small coastal ports through increased freights and a disorganized service. On the men's side the loss in wages alone amounted to £6,000, and the approximate loss to employers concerned amounted to about £18,000. The tramway strike was of a different nature, and was the outcome of friction between the men and a ticket inspector, and the whole of the tram service was at a standstill for a matter of six days. The inconvenience to the public during this time was very great, and the loss to the men in wages amounted to £893, and the approximate loss to the Council was £1,200. Both of the above unions were brought before the Court, and a penalty of £100 was inflicted in each case. The Merchant Service Guild, however, has appealed against the Stipendiary Magistrate's decision in regard to their case. A strike of meat-workers occurred at Petone and Ngabauranga, but as the men concerned were not bound by an award or the Act; the Department had no power to interfere. The tendency of emploj-ers generally is to obey the awards, but, of course, there are a few who are continually looking for loopholes to escape all or anj of the provisions of an award. It is this class of employer which causes nearly all the bitterness that occasionally exists on the part of the unions towards employers. However, I am satisfied that on the whole the awards are fairly well observed, and the breaches that are reported are not, as a rule, of a very serious nature. One hundred and eighty complaints w-ere received re breaches of awards, and forty cases were proved before the Stipendiary Magistrate, and lines amounting to £42 15s. inflicted. The following figures show the nature of the cases taken before the Court: Taking part in strike, 2; employing assistant on half-holiday, 1; breach of preference clause, 8; failing to pay wages weekly, 1; employing excess of weekly hands, 1; failing to pay for holidays, 1; employing casual boy-labour, 1; failing to pay travelling time, 3; failing to pay award rates, 14; failing to keep overtime and w-ages book, 2; failing to claim award rates, 4; absconding from apprenticeship, I; failing to claim payment for holidays, 1 ; having bespoke work done off premises, 1; accepting weekly work when not sufficient pieceworkers employed, 1: total, 42. The most frequent cause of complaint is in regard to the preference clauses, and, as my predecessor reported last year, 1 find that some employers are too ready to take a man's word as to whether he is a member of the union, with the result that a breach is committed. It has also been found that some workers, while in tlie employ of a master, frequently assist in the evasion of an award, and do all in their power to prevent an. Inspector from getting the facts. After they have left their employment, however (usually through a disagreement with the employer), they then go to the secretary of the union or an Inspector for the purpose of making a complaint, and for that reason it is not always wise to take the matter up unless the breach is a serious one. Arrears of wages amounting to £64 18s. 3d., due by employers to workers, were collected and paid to the workera_concerned. In view of the difficulty that arose in June last through a special holiday (Coronation Day) occurring in the same week as an award holiday (Prince of Wales's Birthday), and as this position has often arisen in the past, I think the Act should be amended on the lines of section 19 of the Shops and Offices Act —that when any special day falls on another da)-, but in the same week as an award holiday, the Minister could by Proclamation in the Gazette invite the people in a certain district or throughout New- Zealand, as the case may be, to observe the special day as a holiday, and'that that day could then be legally observed in lieu of the award holiday. Employers and workers could then legally agree as to which day w-ould be observed. Under-rate workers' permits have been issued to workmen in the various trades as follows : Carpenters, 2; timber-workers, 2; collarmakers, 1; stonemasons, 1; plumbers, 1; furniture trade, 1 : total, 8. There are very few applications of this nature received, considering there are nearly 50 awards in operation in this district, and it is seldom that an application is received from an able-bodied man. The permits that are granted are, as a rule, unopposed by the unions, owing to the fact that the worker is suffering from some disability. I have, &c, D. Carmody, Inspector of Awards. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

OHRISTCHURCH. g IE Department of Labour, Ohristchurch, 10th April, 1912. I beg to submit herewith my report on the administration of the various labour laws and other work of the Department in this district for the year ending the 31st March, 1912. The year just closed has been a normal one. The amount of trade done in the retail trades lias been very satisfactory, and trade has not fluctuated so much as in former years. There has been nothing to indicate greater prosperity, but, on the other hand, there was nothing to suggest a falling-off in volume of business. Money has been fairly plentiful. The slight dislocation of business caused by the transport strike in the Old Country, which considerably delayed the arrival of a large amount of early spring goods, and caused a late season in the drapery line, has, however had its good effect, as it enabled shopkeepers to dispose of existing stock that is usually disposed of at sale prices.

XXXIV

It will be noticed that there has been considerably less overtime worked in factories this year than last; this is accounted for by the fact that orders have come to hand more regularly, and, in consequence, more work was made up during ordinary working-hours. Manufacturers report that the volume of business done has been quite up to former years, and in some cases considerably above. Due regard has been paid to the careful inspection of the factories and shops in respect of wages paid, sanitation, &c. ; and visits of inspection have been made at Kaikoura, Amberley, Rangiora, Oxford, Cheviot, Ashburton, Akaroa, Rakaia, and other smaller towns, to see that the various awards and labour laws have been complied with. Special precautions have been taken also in regard to means of exit from workrooms situated above the ground-floor. There is still a shortage of boy and female labour for factories and domestic service. The wet summer delayed operations in the freezing-works, for, although there was plenty of feed, it had not the fattening tendency of drier grass, and fat stock came to hand later in the season in consequence. The weather also delayed the harvest operations; on the heavier lands cereals ripened very slowdy, and the summer was nearly over before the harvest was garnered. The building trades have,had a good season, work in nearly every branch of the trade has been plentiful, and there has been no outcry of unemployment. This is partly accounted for by the fact that considerable numbers of carpenters, bricklayers, and others have left the district for other centres, thereby insuring more continuous work for those remaining. Shearers and Agricultural Labourers' Accommodation Act. This Act has been very beneficial to the farm workers, as it enabled Inspectors of the Department to make many investigations into complaints of insufficient or unsatisfactory accommodation on farms and stations, and, as a result, many improvements have been, effected at the instance of the Department. All complaints lodged by the secretary of the union or others were inquired into; in many cases the complaints were justified, whilst many others were greatly exaggerated by the worker reporting to his union. Most of the complaints coming to hand during the last few months have been in regard to accommodation for workers employed by threshing-mill owners, and it was found that the accommodation in some instances was unsatisfactory. Employers have generally, on the representation of the Department, carried out the necessary improvements to bring the accommodation up to the requirements of the Act. Men's Employment Bureau. No difficulty has been experienced in dealing with the large number of unskilled labourers that have applied to the Department for employment; indeed, the Department has on many occasions been unable to fill the orders for labourers. The late harvest and the variable weather experienced during harvesting operations delayed the work considerably, and while in former years a large number of workers have applied for employment on the completion of the harvest, this year very few found their way to this Department. This is accountable for by the fact that the work extended over a longer period, and the employees were discharged in smaller batches. During the year 842 persons were assisted, 647 being single and 195 married, with 529 dependants. Women's Employment Bureau. This Department has done good work, and has placed all suitable applicants for employment. Thje same difficulty in regard to the scarcity of domestics and other female workers has been experienced, and, although the number of immigrants has been considerable, there is still a big shortage. A detailed summary is furnished in a separate report by Mrs. Mitchell, the officer in charge of the branch. Factories Act. This Act has been so long on the statute-book that nearly all employers and employees have a good knowledge of its main provisions, and this naturally reduces the work of inspection considerably. An effort has been made to visit all factories in this district, which includes Lyttelton, Kaiapoi, Sumner, New Brighton, Woolston, Spreydon, Heathcote, and the Waimairi. The inspection of factories, however, entails considerably more work now- than in years before the inception of the Arbitration Court awards, as at the present time all wages and time books have to be checked to see that the .various awards have been complied with. A number of breaches of the Act have been detected, and in some cases it was thought necessary _to take proceedings, whilst there w-ere also some in which an error of judgment, or a wrong reading of the law, had caused the offence, and in these a warning only was given. The total amount of arrears of wages, &c, collected by the Department was £38 Is. 9d. Twenty-one cases of breaches of the Act were taken before the Court, and judgment was given in favour of the Department in every case. The penalties amounted to £10 65., with costs added The following is a detailed list of offences under the Factories Act in which prosecutions were taken : Employing a female worker on a statutory holiday, 1; occupying an unregistered factory, 1; failing to pay wages in full at not longer than fortnightly intervals, 12; employing a boy on statutory half-holiday, 1; employing female workers on the statutory half-holiday 6 • total, 21. •" During the year 1,322 factories were registered under the Act; 11,865 persons were employed—viz., 8,026 males and 3,839 females (including employers personally engaged) _ Permits of fitness to work in factories were issued to 418 young persons under the age of sixteen years —viz., 180 to males and 238 to females. During the year 2,766 males under the age of sixteen years and females worked 96 305 hours.

Accidents. —During the year there were 145 accidents reported by factory occupiers; the large majority were slight, and resulted in very little lost time by the injured workers. Only 16 cases may be described as serious. One worker met with injuries causing death; the worker was engaged in attempting to put on a belt to a fixed pulley on the shaft, which was revolving at a high speed, when his shirt-sleeve caught between the pulley and the belting and dragged him round the shafting. I would suggest that some provision be made forbidding such dangerous operations, as nearly all the fatal accidents that have happened during the past few- years in connection with machinery in this district have been caused in the same manner. Fire-escapes. —Due precaution has been taken to see that proper means of egress have been provided where necessary, and a number of fire-escapes have been erected during the year at the request of the Department. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The work entailed in administering the above Act with the various awards and agreements in force has shown no diminution, for, although employers are more conversant with the awards or agreements governing their respective trade, there are a number of minor breaches committed, especially in the matter of keeping a proper wages and overtime book as provided for in section 58 of the amendment of 1908. The number of alleged breaches reported by secretaries of unions and others has been well up to former years, perhaps on account of extra vigilance of secretaries, or on account of the workers themselves having a better knowledge of the Act or of the awards under which they work. Of course, as formerly, many of these reports are trivial, and not of sufficient importance to warrant a prosecution, and many, unwittingly, have no foundation for complaint. When there have been, reasonable grounds for believing that an error has been made, we have agreed to the payment of arrears of wages due to the workers instead of taking proceedings, and the following amounts were thus collected and paid over to the workers in the various trades during the year under review : Aerated-water workers, £5 Bs. 6d.; boot trade, £8 Is. Id.; carpenters, £29 17s. 4d.; coach-workers, £2 55.; cycle-w-orkers, £17 55.; dairymen, £1 16s. 3d.; drivers, £3 16s. lOd.; engineers, £130; freezers, &c, £9 9s. 6d.; furniture trades, 2s. 6d.; hosiery-workers, 7s. 4d.; hotel-workers, £22 3s. 6d.; labourers, £88 Is.; lithograph and letterpress machinists, 6s. 7d.; metal-workers, £33 17s. lid.; painters, £38 19s. lid.; pastrycooks, 13s. 6d.; plumbers, 3s. Id.; plasterers, £3 lis. 6d.; shearers (shed hands), £18 lis. 7d.; tailoring trade, £48 lis.; tailoresses and pressers, £12 2s. 3d.; threshingmill hands, £1 6s. 6d.; woollen-mill hands, 18s. 3d. : total, £477 15s. lid. Breaches of Awards or Agreements. —Seventy-seven cases of breaches of awards or agreements were taken before the Court—viz., 66 against employers, and 11 against workers. Of these, favourable judgments were received in 73 cases, and 4 cases were dismissed on account of contradictory or insufficient evidence. One case of appeal left over from the previous year was decided in favour of the Department. The total amount of penalties for breaches of awards or agreements was £62 Bs. Permits to Under-rate Workers. —The number of applications for under-rate workers' permits shows a considerable falling-off, and indicates that either there are a smaller number of " incompetents " in the various trades, or that tradesmen have been scarce, and full wages have been paid to those who formerly worked und«r permit. This Department has made a practice of increasing the rate to be paid on the issue of each successive permit to the same worker, so that in a very short time he is receiving the full w-age. Most of the permits issued this year have been to old men who will get worse rather than better. The following permits have been issued in the respective trades: Rattan and wicker workers, 1; Bricklayers, 2; boot trade, 7 : total, 10. Breaches of the Amendment Act of 1908. —Proceedings were taken against employers in 9 cases for failing to keep a wages and overtime book as required by section. 58; conviction was obtained in all cases, and penalties amounting to £8 ss. and costs were imposed. The following is a tabulated statement showing the number of cases for breaches of awards or agreements taken before the Court, with the particulars of the offences :— Against employers — Failing to pay female workers for public holidays ... ... ... 4 Failing to pay minimum wage ... ... ... ... ... 15 Failing to give preference to unionists ... ... ... ... 3 Failing to pay a motorman full w-eek's wages ... ... ... 1 Employing youths not of age to drive ... ... ... ... 3 Failing to pay overtime rates ... ... ... ... ... 1 Failing to pay overtime rates for award holidays ... ... ... 1 Failing to pay overtime rates for Saturday afternoon . . ... 2 Employing a youth on evening shift ... ... ... ... 1 Employing workers later than 6 p.m. ... ... ... ... 4 Failing to pay travelling tune for suburban work ... ... ... 24 Failing to indenture apprentices ... ... ... ... 4 Discharging shearers for refusing to shear wet sheep ... ... 1 Failing to exhibit time-sheets ... ... ... ... 2 Total ... ... ... ... 66 Against workers— Failing to give week's notice of intention to leave ... ... ... 4 Working for less than minimum wage ... ... ... ... 2 Working at ordinary lates for Saturday afternoon... ... ... 2 Working later than 6 p.m. ... ... ... ... 3 Total ... ... ... ... 11

Shops and Offices Act. This Act has been very well observed, considering the large number of different trades coming under its provisions and the many non-employers of labour who formerly had very little knowledge of the labour laws. The early-closing movement seems to be gaining ground, as each year there are additions to the number of trades in which the shopkeepers have availed themselves of section 25 of the Act and fixed their closing-hours by majority requisitions. The following trades are closing early under these requisitions: In Ohristchurch —Jewellers, boot and shoe dealers, chemists, butchers, cycle and motor dealers, grocers, hairdressers and tobacconists. In Woolston, New Brighton, Sumner, Spreydon, Riccarton, and Heathcote —General storekeepers. There were 1,448 shops registered, employing 2,209 males and 1,218 females. As usual there were a number of those shopkeepers who were careless or ignorant of the law, who failed to close on the statutory holiday, or to close according to the requisitions of the various trades, in which it was necessary for proceedings to be taken. Sixty cases w-ere taken before the Court, and judgment in favour of the Department was given in every case. The penalties amounted to £43 Bs. The amount of £52 35., arrears of wages, was also collected by the Department, and paid over to the various assistants. The following is a list of the cases taken before the Court for offences under this Act : Failing to close in accordance with requisition, 10; employing assistants for more than fifty-two hours a week, 6; failing to allow assistants a half-holiday, 12; failing to keep a time and wages book, 8; employing assistants for more than eleven, hours in one day, 6; employing assistants later than thirty minutes after the prescribed time, 4; failing to close on statutory closing-day, 10; failing to pa)- wages in full at not longer than fortnightly intervals, 2; employing female assistants in hotels for more than fiftyeight hours a week, 2 : 'total, 60. Overtime worked by shop-assistants on stocktaking and other special work : 1,256 assistants worked during the year 20,570 hours — viz., 726 males, 12,846 hours; and 530 females, 7,724 hours. This shows a considerable increase over the preceding year. Servants' Registry Offices Act. Licensees of servants' registry offices have satisfactorily complied with the provisions of the Act. Periodical inspection of the engagement-books has been made by Inspectors, and it was found that the charges for engagements were not in excess of the schedule of rates provided in the Act. Ten license were issued during the year —6 renewals and 4 new licenses. During the year the registry offices referred to made 5,346 engagements; of these, 5,320 w-orkers were charged fees amounting to £870 15s. Bd.; and 5,335 employers were charged fees amounting ot £890 15s. I would suggest that the regulations be amended so that registers kept by registry-office keepers should show date of engagements and the fees paid by workers and employers. The present book of engagements, as laid down by the Act, does not make such provision. Workers' Dwellings Act, .1910. A number of workers have availed themselves of the provisions of the 1910 Act, and applications for dwelling's were dealt with by the Workers' Dwellings Board of this district. Fourteen cottages have been built—viz., 11 at Sydenham, and 3at Addington. These cottages are nearly all completed, and many of them have just been taken possession of by the buyers. The ceremony of laying the foundation-stone to commemorate the erection of the first dwelling under the new Act of 1910 w-as performed by the Hon. J. A. Millar, late Minister of Labour, and great interest was evinced in the proceedings. The date of the ceremony was the 21st November, 1911. Scaffolding Inspection Act. The inspection of scaffolding erected in connection with buildings, &c, has been carefully attended to, and has caused general satisfaction to the workers w-hose employment compels them to work on scaffolding, sometimes at great heights. Careful inspection has been made of all gear used in such scaffolding. The employers seem quite anxious to do their part, and, except in a few- instances, have complied w-ell with the law. The Scaffolding Inspector also made inspection at the various towns outside of Ohristchurch coming within his jurisdiction. Mr. Stringer, the Inspector, has made out a separate detailed report of the work done under this Act. Workers' Compensation Act. Workers have availed themselves of the provisions of this Act, and many settlements have been effected without recourse to the Arbitration Court. It has come to my knowledge that a tendency exists of insurance companies trying to effect settlements with workers in cases where the accidents caused only temporary disablement by paying some small sum consisting of the amount then due, and requesting a clearance. In some such cases the workers have accepted payment, and afterwards found that their injuries incapacitated them for a longer period than at first thought : in these cases they had no redress. General . The work of the Department steadily increases as the operations of the various labour laws are extended. The amendments to the Shops and Offices Act, bringing all w-orkers in hotels under the Act, and the amendment to the Workers' Compensation Act of last year, have also increased the responsibilities of the various officers. The correspondence has been considerable. The outgoing letters, &c, number 5,150; circulars, 9,815; and telegrams, 610.

Conclusion. The thanks of the Department are again due to the City Council and Inspectors, and also the officers of the Health Department, for their assistance in sanitary matters in or about shops and factory premises. I have also to thank the officers of this Department for their valuable assistance, and their willingness to work considerable overtime in order to cope with the big volume of work dealt with. I have, &c, W. H. Hagger, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

DUNEDIN. Sir, —- Department of Labour, Dunedin, Bth April, 1912. I beg to submit my report of the work of the Dunedin office of the Department of Labour in respect to the administration of the various labour laws of the Dominion for the year ending 31st March, 1912. General . As regards employment, I am pleased to be able to state that the satisfactory condition as outlined in my last annual report has been fully maintained, and in nearly every branch of skilled labour employment has been very steady. In the building trades there was some slackness during the winter months, but the major portion of the }-ear has been satisfactory, and a number of large business establishments have been erected. The building licenses taken out in the district number 666, to the value of £238,694, and amongst these there have been about 150 new- business premises. The iron trades have experienced a fair year, while agricul-tural-implement manufacturing and electrical engineering have been busy during the whole period. The furniture trades have had a good turnover, and at times difficulty has been experienced in coping with orders. In the clothing trades a very large amount of overtime —in many cases up to the limit allowed by the Act—has been worked in order to supply the demand for clothing. Woollen-milling has been very busy, much more overtime having been worked than in previous years. This also applies to biscuit and confectionery manufacturing, and in these industries there is a continual demand by employers for more women workers. It is claimed by employers (who advance good reasons for their contentions) that the progress of their business has been considerably retarded by the dearth of female labour. As far as unskilled labour is concerned, it may be stated that the year has, on the whole, been a fair one; the position did not become so acute as during last year, but nevertheless during the winter months it seems inevitable that a number of men must suffer the pangs of unemployment. During the spring and summer months there is always a cry for farm workers, but after the harvest is over a number of the men are idle, and come back into town. I would suggest that some consideration be given to this question, with the object of endeavouring to find them suitable employment, and so alleviate this difficulty. Factories Act. There has been practically no friction in the administration of this Act during the year. Its provisions are well understood by all concerned, and accepted as being in the best interests of all parties. Employers show every desire to comply with its provisions. All the principal factories throughout the district have been visited, and the improvement in factory premises mentioned in my previous report continues, although there are some workrooms not yet quite up to date. Visits of inspection have also been made to various country towns such as Milton, Balclutha, Clinton, Lawrence, Kaitangata, Queenstown, and Oamaru. Registration. —There have been 1,156 factories registered, employing 3,565 females and 8,101 males, a total of 11,666 workers. Overtime. —A total of 85,851 hours' overtime has been worked by women, and boys under sixteen years of age. This is an increase of 13,241 hours on the overtime worked last year, The principal portion of this increase has been in the woollen-milling industry, in which 2,904 hours were worked for period ending 31st March, 1911, and 15,345 hours for 1912. The trades working most overtime were .-—■ Women and Boys. Hours worked. Clothing-manufacturing and tailoring ... ... ... 572 25,682 Woollen-milling ... ... ... ... ... 197 15,345 Biscuit and confectionery ..." ... ... ... 253 12,759 Dressmaking and millinery ... ... ... ... 440 8,330 Printing and stationery ... ... ... ... 152 6,979 Permits to Young Persons. —A total of 372 permits have been issued to young persons under sixteen years of age —157 boys and 215 girls. As regards these permits, I have again to reiterate that a number of parents neglect to take full advantage c c our educational system, and, as a consequence, many applications for permits have to be refused because the children have not passed the Fourth Standard. An opinion is very prevalent that when a child reaches fourteen years of age a permit to work in a factory can be obtained, and I toink more publicity should be given to the fact that unless the child has also passed the Fourth Standard such permit cannot be issued.

Prosecutions. —I am pleased to report that it has only been found necessary to take one case before the Court for a breach of this Act. In this case a conviction was obtained and a fine inflicted. There have been other breaches of a trivial character, in which a warning was considered to be sufficient. The sum of £8 lis., back wages, has been collected and paid to workers. Accidents. —During the year there were 101 accidents reported and inquired into. Of these, 52 occurred in connection with engineering trades, and the remaining 49 were spread over the other trades. I regret to record two fatal accidents. One occurred at the Dunedin City Corporation's transforming-statioiij where the switchboard attendant lost his life; it is assumed that while he w-as engaged in removing globes from electric lamps he lost his balance, and came into contact with a live current. The other occurred at a biscuit and confectionery works, where, owing to the breaking of a rung, the worker fell off a ladder upon a hand-truck, which happened to be beneath the ladder. There were 21 accidents of a serious character, varying from the loss of an eye to the cutting-off of joints of fingers, &c. Sixty-eight accidents were of a slight nature, and call for no special comment. In no case were the accidents traceable to breaches of the provisions of the Act. In several instances, however, extra provisions to insure safety were suggested by this Department, and in each case were acted upon by employers. In making inquiries into these cases care has been taken to advise the w-orkers as to their rights to compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act. General. —I have again to express my appreciation for the assistance rendered in the administration of this Act to the officers of the Health Department, and also the sanitary department of the Dunedin City Corporation. Considerable trouble has been occasioned during the ye&r owing to the want of some definite provision in the Act as to notice when leaving or being dismissed from employment. Numerous complaints have been received from both employers and employed, and it would be of great benefit to all concerned if a clause could be inserted to cope with this difficulty. In connection with the inspection of factories, great assistance has been rendered by Miss Hale, Inspector, as regards those factories where women are employed. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 1,325 shops have been registered, giving employment to 1,589 males and 1,044 females, a total of 2,633. This is an increase of 71 shops as compared with last year. Forty-two breaches of the Act were discovered, and prosecutions taken in 16 instances, resulting in 15 convictions, with penalties amounting to £26 Is. lOd. One case was dismissed owing to the worker, when in the w-itness-box, "going back" on statements previously made. In 24 cases the breach was either inadvertent or of such a nature that a warning sufficed. Arrears of wages amounting to £8 7s. 6d. were paid to assistants. It is a pleasure to be able to report that the majority of occupiers evince a desire to comply with the law. There are, how-ever, numbers of complaints received from those who employ labour, and who are perforce compelled to close at the hour when assistants cease work against those occupiers who remain open for the sale of goods after 6 p.m. In these cases the occupier carries on business either alone or with the assistance of his wife attending to customers. The opinion is growing stronger, as time goes on, in favour of compulsory closing of all shops at a uniform hour. There is also a tendency amongst a number of shopkeepers to make afternoon the compulsory half-holiday for all shops. The amendment to the Shops and Offices Act, 1910, providing that a proper time and wages book shall be kept, has- been of great assistance in the administration of this Act. Overtime. —492 workers worked 8,113 hours' overtime, an increase of more than 3,000 hours over last year. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The number of complaints investigated in reference to alleged breaches of awards and agreements total 335. In 242 cases breaches of awards were discovered, and 31 prosecutions resulted. Penalties and costs totalling £30 19s. 4d. were imposed in 25 cases, whilst 6 were dismissed. Of the cases where breaches were disclosed, 56 were for breaches of the preference clause; 48 of these were adjusted by the workers joining the unions, while in 8 others action was taken against employers. In 47 instances it was found that less than award rates had been paid, and, as they were evidently breaches of an unintentional nature, matters were settled by the back wages being paid up, and warnings given that any future breaches w-ould be followed by prosecution. £169 has been recovered as arrears of wages, and has been disbursed to workers. Twelve prosecutions were taken for failing to pay award rates of wages, and 1 against a worker for failing to claim award rates. Convictions were obtained in all cases excepting one. The remaining cases were breaches of minor importance, and do not call for comment. Four cases were taken against employers for failing to keep time and wages books as required by the Act, and penalties amounting to £4 10s. were inflicted. Under-rate Permits. —There have been very few permits issued during the year, the full award rate being paid, unless owing to very exceptional circumstances. Seven permits have been issued in the following trades: Carpenters and joiners, 3; furniture trade, 2; bootmakers and canister-workers, 1 each. The principal part of the work in connection with this Act has been carried out by Mr. Hollows, and I have again to report that he has given very careful attention to his work, and carried out his duties very satisfactorily.

The returns show that a total of 2,791 engagements were made, the fees charged amounting to £741 3s. 9d., 2,714 workers paying £559 4s. 3d., and 854 employers paying £181 19s. 6d. in fees. It will thus be noticed that the workers were charged fees in very many instances where no fee was charged the employers. Shearers' Accommodation Act. A number of sheds were inspected during the year, and in most cases the accommodation provided was of a satisfactory nature. In some instances, however, alterations and improvements were suggested, and at once acted upon by the owners. In one instance notice was served to erect accommodation in accordance with the Act. Workers' Compensation Act. The amendment of 1911, providing that any agreement as to the settlement of a claim for compensation will not be legal unless approved by a Magistrate or an Inspector of Factories, will be greatly welcomed by workers, as will also the provision as to the payment of the cost of medical expenses up to £1. Many inquiries have been received from injured persons for advice, and every endeavour has been made to insure that the full compensation to which they are entitled under the Act should be paid. Workers' Dwellings Act. This Act has not been taken advantage of to any extent in this district, and no new workers' dwellings have been erected during the past year. A considerable amount of work has been occasioned in connection with the houses already erected at the Windle Settlement. These have been well occupied during the year,, and at present are all let to good tenants. They are nowbeing put into good repair. Drainage and hot-water installations are being made. Employment Bureaux. Women's Branch. —l have again to report that business in this branch has not been satisfactory, owing to the dearth of domestics. A separate report is submitted by the officer in charge, who, in addition to this work, acts as Inspector of Factories and Shops, and in this capacity has done good work. Men's Branch. —B32 men have been assisted to employment, made up as follows : Single men, 563; married men, 269; with a total of 956 dependants. The majority of these men were sent to labouring work, 564 to private employment, and 268 to Government works, principally railway-construction. I have again to express my thanks to the officers and members of the various local bodies for their assistance in this matter. Conclusion. In conclusion, I have to say that the work has been carried out with practically no friction w-hatever, the members of the staff doing their work conscientiously, and with the co-operation and consideration extended to the Department by employers and w-orkers, including the secretaries of the various trade organizations. I have, &c, W. Newton, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

GISBORNE. Sir, —- Department of Labour, Gisborne, 2nd April, 1912. I have the honour to report on the working of the Department in Gisborne during the year ending 31st March, 1912. The period has been one of great activity in all industries, and the excellent prices obtained for our main products have made the place prosperous. There has been fresh country cleared in all directions, thus increasing the sheep-bearing area, and great activity has been displayed in cultivating and improving that already in use. At Tokomaru Bay a temporary stoppage of the works was caused through a shortage of water at the meat-works, but an ample supply has now been provided, and, as the dry season affected only the immediate coast-line, the amount of export for the district w-ill not be materially affected. At Tolaga Bay a dairying company has been formed, and a sufficient supply of milk guaranteed to insure successful operations. There is a large area of splendid land suitable for dairying near the town, and there is no doubt this town will make great progress in the near future. Taking the building trade as an indication of the prosperity of the district, I would mention that last year was a very busy one, but nearly all the work was outside the borough; while this year builders are just as busy in the outlying districts, and, in addition, a large amount of building is being done in the town. Permits for buildings in the borough last year valued £85,246, and this year £92,187, showing an increase of £6,941 over last year. The Factories Act. During the year 249 factories have been registered, giving employment to 1,296 people; and overtime warrants were issued to 113 women and boys under sixteen years to work 3,549 hours. Permits have been issued to 21 young persons to work in factories, and 64 accidents were reported, none of which were of such a nature as to cause serious permanent disablement. All factory occupiers have their hands insured. Sixteen cases w-ere taken against one occupier for working females on the Sovereign's birthday, and a total fine of £1 and 7s. costs was inflicted. The factories are all well condugted, and where any fault is pointed out the occupiers are quite willing to remedy the defect. Shops and Offices Act. Two hundred and twenty-five shops have been registered during the year, including 18 hotels, employing 306 males and 217 females; and warrants have been issued to work 3,060 hours' overtime during the year. The Shops and Offices Act is well observed, and only 1 case has been taken to Court —viz., for failing to close at the time fixed by requisition of the shopkeepers; a fine of 10s. and 7s. costs was inflicted. A special inspection of all shops handling food was made in company with the Sanitaty Inspector, and a few necessary alterations w-ere made on request. Back wages were collected and paid to the workers amounting to £11 3s. 6d. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. There have been 3 fresh awards made during the period affecting this district, one of which (Shearers and Sited Hands) has increased the work of the Inspector very much, there being over 300 parties scattered over the district, and some of them residing in places very difficult to visit. On my travels during the shearing season 1 found no cases of the employers paying less than the award rate of wages; but it has been difficult to convince the sheep-farmers that a proper wages and time book has to be kept, and that the old tally-book will not do. Generally the Act and awards are well observed. I have had to take 10 cases to Court for enforcement; in 8 of these fines were inflicted amounting to £22 in. all; the other 2 cases w-ere dismissed, and an appeal was lodged in one case against the Magistrate's decision. The Waterside Workers took one case to the Magistrate's Court for enforcement of award. The case was dismissed, and the union lodged an appeal. Nine cases were settled out of Court, and the sum of £19 4s. 2d. arrears of wages was collected and paid to the workers. Up to the last month of the year there w-as practically no unrest amongst the workers, but on the 26th March 25 shop-butchers struck work. The employers and men had agreed upon the wages, hours, and other conditions, but the employers subsequently refused to sign the agreement, giving as a reason that they objected to the men belonging to the Auckland union, as they feared if trouble should occur at Auckland the men in Gisborne would be drawn in; the men, who are already members of the Auckland union, refuse to sever their connection and form a separate union in Gisborne. Shearers' Accommodation, etc., Act. During the year 66 shearing-stations have been visited, and the accommodation inspected. I found that 10 owners had erected or improved accommodation in accordance with the notices served previous to June, 1911. I have served notices to 24 station-owners to erect accommodation or make improvements this year. Most of these notices were served on settlers who have taken up fresh stations, or have increased the number of shearers, so that the accommodation already provided is not sufficient. In some cases I have found that females (Natives) are emploj-ed, and where this is so separate accommodation is ordered. During the year I have taken one case to the Magistrate's Court, and obtained an order to improve the accommodation; expenses and costs were allowed. The constantly increasing number of sheep-stations taken up in the backblocks and the bad roads make the inspection a very arduous task.

Servants' Registry Offices. There are five servants' registry offices, and all are well conducted. Employment Bureau. The Department has received 394 applications for employment, and placed 132 during the period. The borough drainage-works have found work for a good many, and the County Councils have had a large number employed on road contracts. These works are still in progress, and the laying of the tramway will be started in a few days. The Harbour Board has let a contract for harbour-improvements, and the work is just starting so that employment for labouring men will be plentiful for some time to come. There has been, and is still, a shortage of men in the building trade and females in the tailoring trade. Unemployment has been practically unknown during the year, and the future is exceedingly promising. Conclusion. During the year I have visited Waipiro Bay, Tokomaru Bay, and Tolaga Bay, and found that the various Acts affecting labour and the awards under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act are generally well observed. I desire to express my thanks to the police officers in these places for the assistance given, and also to the officers of the different departments with whom I have been brought in contact in the prosecution of my duties. I have, &c, W. H. Westbrooke, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

NAPIER. "Sir, — Department of Labour, Napier, 18th April, 1912. I have pleasure in presenting my annual report on the various matters which have required the attention of this branch of the Department for the year ending 31st March, 1912. In making a retrospect of the general conditions which have prevailed throughout the year it is gratifying to be able to record that it has been one of continual employment and satisfactory business transactions. I will epitomize the various trades, so as to show the actual position at a glance. The building trades have been exceptionally busy. Bricklayers have had a good year, and practically no lost time. Carpenters have also been in great demand right throughout the year. Painters have had a very fair year, but at times there were men seeking work. Plasterers have been kept fairly busy, and there have not been many men seeking work. The plumbing trt.de has been busy practically from the beginning of the year, and there is every indication that it will continue. Brickmaking was dull at the commencement of the year, but improved towards the middle of the year, and continued busy until the close. The lime-burning is an industry which is fast improving its position, and the benefits of using the Hawke's Bay " Roach " lime for tanning and agricultural operations are becoming better known, and the employment of those engaged therein is improving. Concrete-block making is another comparatively young industry which has found employment for a good number of men. In the woodworking trades cabinetmaking has kept about normal. At some periods there have been men seeking employment, and at others employers were in need of men. Sash and door factories have been busy right throughout the year, and the present active state of the building trades is a good indication that the factories will continue active. Saw-milling : The town mills have had an exceptionally good year, but there are one or two of the country mills which are not in such a flourishing state, and when one travels the roads to these mills the difficulties in the way of milling are appreciated to the full. The engineering trades have kept well up to the average, but there appears to be room for improvement in several instances, and trade is not so buoyant as to entice artisans to the district. The cycle and motor trades have reported good business, which, of necessity, fluctuates during the various seasons. Clothing trades : The tailoring trades have had an exceptionally good year, and the limit of permits was reached in many cases before the rush of Christmas work was over, and no less than 5,483 hours were worked by 100 persons (females and boys). Many employers w-ere compelled to give the small jobs to males, so as to complete their orders. Dressmaking has been busy throughout the year, and this trade has, in common with many other trades, felt the shortage of female labour. Woollen-milling has had a good year, but the labour available was able to cope with the orders in hand, and thus in a great measure obviated the necessity of overtime. Hat and cap manufacturing finds employment for a good number of employees; this is an industry as yet in its infancy, but the future is hopeful. Umbrella-making has also felt the shortage of female labour.

Retail trades : The general observations gathered each month went to show that the retail trades have, on the whole, had a successful year. Once or twice there appeared a little tightness of ready cash, but this is inevitable in a community where, to a large extent, the spending-powers are somewhat influenced by the price of frozen meat and wool. Meat-freezing trades : The output from the various freezing-works has been equal to that of the previous year, and Hawke's Bay still maintains a good position in exports. The wool sales were also successful, and should help to give trade and commerce an impetus. The question of unemployment has not been felt to any extent in this district, and up till March the demand was greater than the supply; but since commencing the Napier-Gisborne Railway more men have migrated from other districts than were required, and of necessity this has caused a surplus in labour, in most instances unskilled. The shearing season was very successful, and good cheques w-ere made by the employees, whilst, on the other hand, farmers realized a good price at the local sales. Factories Act. The administration of this Act is not of a very arduous nature. Employers realize that to become conversant with its provisions is in their own interests. The factories visited were, on the whole, up to the standard required by the Act. There were 278 factories registered during the year, a decrease of 26 factories. This decrease is accounted for by the fact that several firms, having three or four branches, registered these branches last year as separate factories. The advantages of the 1910 amendment to the Factories Act—viz., addition to section 32 (aa) —has not acted, in my opinion, in the best interests of those directly concerned, as, in order to overcome the responsibilities cast upon them by the Legislature, some employers simply give their employees a week's notice of termination of employment prior to the holiday season, and thus evade the Act. There have been 36 certificates of fitness issued to 15 boys and 21 girls. During the year 7,169 hours' overtime were worked by females and boys under sixteen years of age, an increase of 2,446 hours over the previous year. The total is made up as follows : — „ , Hours Number of lrade - Worked. Persons. Tailoring ... ... ... ... .. ... 5,483 100 Dressmaking ... ': ... ... ... ... 1,582 91 Cycletrade ... ... ... ... ... ... 39 1 Cap-making ... ... ... ... ... ... 32 4 Laundry ... ... ... ... ... .... 16 3 Jewellery-manufacturing ... ... ... ... 16 1 Boot-repairing ... ... ... ... ... 1 2 7,169 202 The amendment of 1910, allowing slightly extended overtime, has worked entirely satisfactorily. The shortage of female labour has, no doubt, resulted in the extra overtime being worked. The number of accidents reported was 62, and I am sorry to record that two were of a rather serious nature. In each instance employees suffered the loss of an arm. No time was lost in making inquiries into the cause, and in both cases no defect was found in the appliances, the accidents being purely misadventure. Each person injured w-as also informed of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act. In this connection the annotated work by W. Jolliffe —viz., Workers' Compensation Act, 1908—was of great value. There were 12 prosecutions under the Act. Convictions were recorded in 11 cases, and 1 case was w-ithdrawn, owing to the serious illness of the husband of the person who -was charged with failing to register her premises. The fines amounted to £6 10s., and costs £3 6s. The prosecutions were made up as follow : Three for working boys on Saturday afternoon; 3 for failing to register work-rooms; 1 for employing a young person without a permit; 5 for failing to paywages at not more than fortnightly intervals. The sum of £16 17s. Id. was collected from various employers, being amounts inadvertently deducted from employees. The Amendment Act, 1910, the purpose of which was to restrict the long hours worked in Chinese laundries, has not had the effect anticipated. The legal interpretation in the Auckland case places the Chinese laundries in somewhat the same position as hitherto It has been necessary to send 128 letters of warning to occupiers of factories, and in each case I am pleased to state that my request has met with a ready response, and the matters complained of were remedied without the necessity of recourse to the Court. The question of fire-escapes has received attention, and in cases where the w-ork-rooms were situated upstairs and the stairways of wood, ropes were ordered to be securely affixed, so as to provide an additional means of escape should a fire break out. Shops and Offices Act. Matters appertaining to the administration of the Act have worked satisfactorily. There are 378 shops registered this year, an increase of 74 over the previous. As the registration was conducted by personal visits, many shops which had hitherto escaped registration were brought into line. During this inspection, I ascertained that in the majority of shops throughout the district the employees worked the "half-hour's grace" allowed after the ordinary hour of ceasing work, irrespective of whether fifty-two hours had been worked or not; but in each case the occupier speedily remedied the error, due entirely through misinterpretation.

XLIII

H.—ll

There have been 25 prosecutions under the Act—B in Napier, 6 in Dannevirke, 10 in Hastings, and 1 in Waipawa. Convictions were recorded in all cases, and penalties inflicted amounting to £48 10s., and costs £10 19s. 2d. The prosecutions were made up as follows : Failing to keep a holiday-book, 4 cases; failing to keep a wages-book, 3 cases; failing to close in accordance with requisition, 7 cases; failing to close on half-holiday, 5 cases; failing to close at 1 p.m. (office), 1 case; working assistants in excess of hours, 5 cases. In addition to the above, there were 109 letters of warning sent to various shopkeepers. The sum of £18 13s. 3d. was collected from several employers, comprising amounts wrongly deducted from employees, and was handed to the employees entitled to same. An inspection of offices has also been made, and in several cases alterations had to be made to the sanitary conveniences. The time is fast approaching, in my opinion, when the multifarious exemptions allowed under the Act to occupiers of offices will need curtailing, so as to safeguard the employees engaged therein. Another matter of vital importance to shopkeepers is the question of prohibiting the sale of goods as a side line when the shops in such businesses are closed by requisition of the majority; there is no logical reason why a person selling jewellery after the shops of jewellers are closed under a requisition should be allowed to do so. Tobacconists are safeguarded in this respect by a special clause in section 25, and the same protection should be extended to other businesses. Then there is the question of the employment of assistants after 9 p.m. on Saturday nights. The opinion frequently expressed is that a compulsory 9 o'clock closing would be advantageous, and I respectfully submit that these matters should receive the careful consideration of those in authority. During the year 3,375 hours' overtime was worked. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are 2 registered offices in Napier, and, as far as I can ascertain, both are well conducted. Shearers' Accommodation, etc., Act. I have been enabled during my first year in the district to visit the majority of the shearingsheds. In most instances the accommodation is up to the requirements of the Act. There have been 14 notices served upon employers to effect improvements in the accommodation. In addition to this number, there have been several served by police officers acting as Inspectors under the Act. The difficulty experienced in the administration of this Act is accentuated by the fact that station-owners are loath to provide adequate accommodation, simply on account of the fact that their shearers are members of the Native race. Notwithstanding that it may have been a custom for both sexes of Natives to occupy the same quarters, notices are being issued by your direction requiring separate accommodation to be provided. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. During the period under review- there has been a decrease in the number of complaints of alleged breaches received. The total complaints received numbered 136, and were dealt with as follows: 78 were found on investigation to be unsubstantiated; in 39 cases the offences were substantiated, but the circumstances surrounding the breaches were of such a nature that it was decided that letters of warning would suffice; 25 cases were taken before the Court, and in each case a conviction was recorded, with penalties amounting to £48 and costs £4 16s. lOd. The most serious case was that of a firm making "wilfully false" entries in its time and wages book, and a substantial penalty of £10 and costs was imposed. The industrial unrest which has been so prevalent in other parts of the Dominion has affected this district in a lesser degree— i.e., at Hastings early in the year a disagreement took place between the Labourers' Union and the borough foreman over the question of non-unionists, and consequently the men all ceased work. It was not considered necessary to take action in this case for a breach of the " strike " clauses of the Act, as both parties were somewhat to blame for the cessation of work. The matter was settled to the satisfaction of both parties. The most important dispute arose at the water-front during December over the question of the handling of coal and the contract system, and what looked like a serious industrial upheaval was staved off by the employers agreeing to the men's demands in the interim; it being agreed that the whole matter should be considered at a conference between the parties. This was held during the second week in January. An agreement was arrived at which has removed the cause of contention for at least three years. The sum of £119 14s. 7d. has been collected from the employers on behalf of the respective employees, and the circumstances of the breaches did not warrant prosecution. The amicable relationships existing between the representatives of the employers and the various officials of the workers' unions have had the effect of reducing the number of complaints for alleged breaches. Workers' Dwellings Act. Two meetings of the Board were held in Napier. Applications were received from eighteen persons for dwellings, but when the applicants came before the Board it was ascertained that three persons desired the land in some other locality than that selected; three were of the opinion that the land was too far from town; one had a section, of w-hich he had paid one-third of the purchase-money; one applicant stated

H.—ll

XLIV

that the interest, &c, would be too heavy a charge upon his finances; and, although this left 10 applicants in all, there were not 6 applications in at the same time, and whilst waiting to make up the required 6, some of the others withdrew, consequently the benefits of this Act have not been felt in Napier. There is a block of Crown land situated at Westshore, in the near vicinity of the proposed Napier-Gisborne Railway, surveyed by the Lands Department for use under the Act. A word of thanks is due to Mr. C. R. Pollen, Commissioner of Crown Lands, for the trouble he has taken in preparing plans, &c, for the use of this Department. Employment Bureau. The advantages to be derived by employers and employees are becoming more widely known, and, in consequence, more applications are being received from both parties. During the year 87 persons were assisted to employment, being 73 single men and 14 married with 52 dependants. There is every possibility during the coming year of the Department being able to place a large number of persons in employment, due mainly to the commencement of the Napier-Gisborne railway-works and the utilizing of Lake Waikaremoana for electric-generating purposes. The future of the district as the means of absorbing surplus labour is bright The value of building permits issued in the Borough of Napier during the period aggregated £89,012, and the various portions of the Hawke's Bay District have had an equally prosperous year. Conclusion. During the year I have had an opportunity to visit the following portions of my district : Dannevirke, Ormondville, Otane, Ongaonga, Waipukurau, Waipaw-a, Porangahau, Waimarama, Te Aute, Wairoa, Puketitiri, Hastings, Tikokino; and it is pleasing to be able to report that, w-ith but few exceptions, the various enactments are working with entire satisfaction, and is evidence that the various local Inspectors devote considerable attention to the work in their respective districts. I am, &c, R. T. Bailey, Inspector ol Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

NEW PLYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, New Plymouth, 29th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit for your consideration the annual report of this office for the year ending 31st March, 1912. General . The year has been one of steady progress, and, on the whole, manufacturers and retailers have little cause for complaint at the amount of business done. It is generally acknowledged that from a business point of view the year compares very favourably with any previous year in the history of the district. Good progress has been made in connection with harbour-construction work, and in the near future it will be possible to berth large cargo-steamers at the wharf. The greater New Plymouth scheme, by which it is hoped the outlying town districts will become part of the borough, with a view to united action in connection with municipal works, electric trams, light, drainage, &c, is nearing completion, and within the next few months a United New Plymouth, consisting of New Plymouth, Fitzroy, Vogeltown, Westown, St. Aubyn, and Moturoa, is assured. The Council has decided that immediately the scheme is completed steps will be taken in connection with the installation of the electric-tram service. Some substantial buildings, in addition to a large number of residences, have been erected during the year. The building trades have had a very successful year, and there has been sufficient work to keep all hands constantly employed. The butter and cheese factories have also had a very successful season. The prices obtained for both butter and cheese have been extremely good, particularly cheese; many butter-factories are seriously considering the advisability of superseding butter with cheese, or combining the manufacture of both products in the one factory. The latter arrangement, however, does not meet with the approval of practical men. ~ The killing, freezing, and preserving works have had a very satisfactory season indeed, the supply of sheep and lambs being much in excess of previous years. There is every prospect of a Taranaki record being established in quantity of output of mutton and lamb this season. The dressmaking, millinery, and tailoring trades have had a very good year, particularly in order and ladies' tailoring lines, while the bootmaking, coachbuilding, engineering, plumbing, gasfitting, and cycle engineering trades have had a fair year. The motor engineering, cabinetmaking, and upholstering trades show advance on previous years, both lines having continued very busy right through the year. Great progress has been made in these trades during the last few years. The two outstanding features from the point of view of industrial progress during the year is the extremely satisfactory development in the matter of petroleum-production, and the construction of a building and plant at Moturoa with a view to making a thorough and

XIV

H.—ll

practical test of Taranaki ironsand. At the time of writing it is almost assured that the amount of capital required to float a company to further develop and thoroughly test the Taranaki oilfields will be subscribed. The present company will be absorbed by the new company. New and up-to-date boring plant will be obtained, and a refinery will be erected almost immediately to treat the large stock of crude petroleum at present on hand. The successful development of these important industries would prove of inestimable benefit to the town and district. Labour. The number of applications received for casual work has been comparatively few. Fortyseven men have been assisted to employment, 40 to private employment, and 7 to Government work. No difficulty was experienced in obtaining work in the country for any capable and willing man at road-formation, bushfelling, and other work of a kindred nature. Under the circumstances, it was only to be expected that it would be difficult to obtain men for milking and casual farmwork. Men cannot be expected to give up general labouring-work at from Bs. to 10s. per day of eight hours for farm-work and milking at from £1 to £1 10s. per week and found. Although we are getting well on towards winter the number of applications for work does not show any increase in number. There is justification, therefore, in assuming that the prospects for the casual labourers as far as this district is concerned during the coming winter will prove fairly good. Factories Act. The provisions of this Act have been closely observed throughout the district. Employers generally show a willingness to comply with the provisions of the Act, and do not show any resentment at the responsibilities imposed upon them by its provisions, but, on the contrary, acknowledge that regulations and restrictions are required. It is very seldom that a deliberate breach of any of its provisions is discovered. There are, of course, many technical errors, due in most cases to ignorance of the provisions or to thoughtlessness by employers. During the year 230 factories were registered, in which 935 persons were employed —835 males and 100 females—as against 203 registered last year. During the year 2,513 hours' overtime were worked by 114 women and boys. Visits of inspection were paid to all the factories in the district, and to most of the factories in other parts of the province, including Patea, Hawera, Manaia, Normanby, Eltham, Stratford, Toko, Inglewood, Tariki, Waitara, Kaponga, Opunake, Okato, Urenui, Tarata, Whangamomona, and the smaller towns throughout the province. The arrears of wages and overtime recovered for employees through the intervention of the Department during the year amounted to £23 15s. Certificates of fitness were issued to 40 males and 29 females under the age of sixteen years, enabling them to work in factories. Accidents. There were 11 accident reported; fortunately, none of these were of a serious nature, as they consisted principally of cuts and bruises due to carelessness in handling tools and appliances. None of the accidents could be attributed to defective machinery or plant. In all cases inquiries were made by me as to the cause of the accident, and in all cases employees were covered by insurance. During my numerous visits to the factories of this district 1 have had exceptional opportunities of observing the conditions of employment, the welfare of the employees, and the relationship between the employers and employees. It is a pleasure to me to acknowledge that the utmost good feeling prevails; employers are always willing to do anything within reason for the comfort and convenience of their employees, and there are many evidences that their thoughtful consideration is appreciated. The wages paid to young persons employed are in most cases in excess of the amount specified in the Act; most of the workrooms are clean and well ventilated; and the sanitary arrangements are satisfactory. Most of the butter and cheese and freezing and preserving works are an object-lesson as regards cleanliness and sanitation, and the employees evidently appreciate the necessity of keeping themselves and their suroundings in a clean and wholesome condition. There is room for improvement in this connection in many of the smaller bakehouses and butchers' small-goods rooms through the province. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 274 shops were registered, employing 545 males and 240 females, as against 236 last year, employing 572 persons —424 males and 148 females. 976 hours' overtime has been worked. There have been 2 prosecutions under the Act. A large number of complaints have been investigated, and the sum of £21 Is. 3d., arrears of wages, was recovered for employees by this Department. No great difficulty has been experienced in administering this Act; in the majority of shops the hours worked are less than the number allowed, and the wages paid to young persons are in excess of the amount specified in the Act. The shop-holiday is closely observed, and is appreciated as much by the employer as the employee. There are a large number of separate trades closing under requisition, and in some cases there are general requisitions in force w-ith certain exemptions. It is an extremely difficult matter to decide where to draw the line in the enforcement of these requisitions where there are specified exemptions, particularly in small towns where there are a number of trades carried on in the same shop. In some of these general requisitions tobacconists, fruiterers, and confectioners are specially exempt, but the tobacconist sells stationery, sporting goods, musical instruments, and silver and plated ware, while the fruiterer or confectioner in many cases sells groceries and

H.—ll

XLVI

similar goods to those sold by tobacconists. I am of the opinion that most shopkeepers would welcome compulsory closing at 6 p.m., with certain exemptions—viz., the exempted shops to be rigidly tied down to certain goods, with the proviso that if goods other than those specified were stocked occupiers should be compelled to close at the same hour as other shopkeepers selling the same classes of goods. If this course were adopted, it would to some extent stop the unfair competition which goes on at present. I have visited all shops in the district and a large number of shops in the other towns of the province. I have paid special attention to the hours, w-ages, overtime, and holidays observed in the various shops, and also seating-accommodation for female assistants, fire-escapes, ventilation, and sanitation. The conditions of employment, on the whole, are satisfactory, and the relationship between employers and employees has been most cordial. There have been no serious differences or wrongs requiring redress. Servants' Registry Offices. There were 4 offices registered in this district. I have visited each of them several times during the year, and found them well conducted in every way. An investigation of the books has proved that the fees charged are strictly in accordance with the schedule. I have come in personal contact with a number of employees who have obtained positions through these offices, and upon inquiring from them 1 have found that they have all been treated fairly. I have received inquiries from a number of employers who were under the impression that they had been overcharged, but in all cases inquiry proved that they had been charged schedule rates. There is an arrangement betw-een keepers of offices in Wellington, Auckland, and elsewhere, and employers in this province, by which the train or boat fares of persons engaged through their offices is paid by the employer, on condition that the employee remains three months; if the employee does not remain three months the amount of the fare is deducted from their wages when they leave, and as they very seldom remain three months, these deductions are of frequent occurrence. A number of complaints has been made to me by employees under this head, and I must say, in fairness to employers, that in every case referred to me no deduction had been made. There are numerous cases, however, throughout the province where deductions from wages for fares have been made. Scaffolding Inspection Act. The provisions of this Act have been closely observed by the builders and contractors of this district. In all cases where necessary notices of intention to erect scaffolding have been sent to this office, and have been forwarded to the Inspector of Scaffolding. Hotels and Restaurants. No difficulty has been experienced in administering the Shops and Offices Act relating to hotels and restaurants. Frequent visits of inspection have been paid by me to all hotels and restaurants in the district. Time and wages and holiday books are kept in all cases in accordance with the Act. In my last report 1 referred to a question which is in constant dispute between employers in the hotel business, and that is the question of notice of termination of engagement. Some employers insist upon a week's notice. The matter is of considerable importance, and is in almost constant dispute between some employer and his or her employee. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Although the enforcement of the provisions of the Act necessitates a great deal of travelling for the purpose of inspection, the work in connection therewith is comparatively light. There are few awards or agreements in operation in this district, and I am pleased to say there have not been any serious differences in any of the trades under award or agreement. There has been a number of trivial irregularities due to carelessness or want of knowledge of the provisions of the particular award or agreement; in all such cases immediate compliance with the provisions of the awards or agreements has been made when the irregularities have been pointed out. No complaints have been made by employees working under award or agreement. The sum of £10 17s. 6d. arrears of wages has been received by employees, with the assistance of the Department. Shearers' Accommodation Act. I visited a number of sheds during the shearing season, and found the accommodation and conditions of employment satisfactory'in every way. Workers' Dwellings Act. A great deal of interest has been manifested in this Act by the workers of the district. There is a large number of workers here anxious to avail themselves of the advantages of the Act, and there is great disappointment amongst them, because of the inability of the Department to obtain land at a reasonable price. Conclusion. In conclusion, I have to record my appreciation of the kindness and consideration I have received from all with whom I have been brought into contact in carrying out my various duties. I have, &c, Harry Willis, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

WANGANUI. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wanganui, Ilth April, 1912. I have the honour to submit herewith for your consideration the annual report for this district for the year ending 31st March, 1912. General. In reviewing the year just closed, it may safely be said that trade and business generally have maintained a high standard, and had the climatic conditions during the spring and early part of the summer been more agreeable, the year would undoubtedly have been a record one. A retrospective glance would indicate that at no period of the year was there any depression felt in this district. It is true that the weather-conditions were not so favourable to farmers, and, as a result, the wool-clips have been much lighter, and a little lower in standard of quality; but as good prices have been realized by the farmers for their w-001, the effect will not be serious. The climatic conditions also adversely affected the dairying industry, for, although there has been a plentiful supply of feed, the tests were lower than in former years; especially was this so at the early part of the season. However, the season gives promise of being an exceptionally long one, and those companies who refused the attractive prices offered by the exporting firms are now sharing in the good prices obtaining, and those dairymen whose output was not sold in. advance are reaping the benefit of the enhanced prices of butter now prevailing. A new branch in connection with the dairying industry is worthy of notice; this is the manufacture of casein. A large factory is now in the course of erection at Aramoho, and will be in full swing next season. The freezing industry has also suffered a little on account of the adverse weather-conditions, which retarded shearing operations and checked the fattening of the stock, consequently the stock has been late in coming in. I am informed, however, that, notwithstanding this, the season will show results quite up to the standard of former years. Since operations commenced the local works have been full-handed, and good time has been made. Building trades : The past year has been an exceptionally good one so far as the building trade has been concerned. Large and pretentious brick buildings are replacing the old wooden ones in the town, and at the present time the number of large buildings in the course of erection gives the town quite an air of prosperity. Indications point to a continuance of this activity for some months to come, as a number of large contracts have recently been let. Two hundred and twenty-five building permits have been issued within the Borough of Wanganui, to the value of £87,487, as compared with £80,185 for the previous year. In addition to this, cottages are going up rapidly in the suburbs. The furniture trades have had a busy year. There has been no lack of employment for competent and reliable w-orkmen in this trade. The tailoring, clothing, and dressmaking trades have had all they could do to meet the demands made upon them, evidence of which will be seen from the considerable amount of overtime worked. In many of the factories the female employees worked right up to the limit of overtime allowed by the Act. Printing and bookbinding : Operatives in this industry have been kept fully employed throughout the year, for while there has not been at an)- period a rush of work, still these trades are in a steady and healthy condition. I would again, at this juncture, draw your attention to the difficulty existing generally, but particularly in some trades, in getting boys to become apprentices. On every hand employers complain of the difficulty in getting apprentices for the skilled trades. It would be interesting to know what avenues of employment have been follow-ed by those boys who have left school during the past year, and if it were possible to get such a return, it would doubtless be of great value. It appears as though the number of occupations for boys and girls requiring no preliminary training are on the increase. Most of these positions do not equip those employed for any position in later life; consequently, about the age of eighteen or nineteen, they are thrown on the unskilled-workers' market, which at the present time is undoubtedly more largely stocked than any of the skilled trades. As more boys are employed in these non-educational occupations than can be employed as men, the result is that many of them are dismissed on asking for an adult wage. It is surprising to find the number of youths who are endeavouring (after allowing their opportunities to go by) to learn something of a particular trade in the hope of eventually landing themselves into the position of a fully paid journeyman. Instances have come under my notice of adults accepting a very low wage to learn the trade, and allowing themselves to be indentured at a period when they ought to be receiving full journeymen's wages. If our trades are to maintain a high standard of efficiency, the problem of inducing the boys to take up the trades will have to be solved. The various labour law-s have worked with a minimum of friction. It cannot be said that either employers or employees are indifferent with regard to their obligations under the various statutes. There is generally an honest endeavour to comply with the law, and it is pleasing indeed under these circumstances to assist in every way possible without recourse to sterner measures. Employment Branch. Throughout the year there has been no difficulty in dealing with the applicants for employment. The tramway-extension w-orks and the borough's new waterworks have employed all the pick-and-shovel men offering, and the Department has been able to assist to employment all applicants who failed to get work about the town and were prepared to accept work in the country. Fortyseven men applied for work, and 39 were sent either to private employment or to Government works.

The majority of callers are new arrivals from England, who seek advice and information before settling down, and this is perhaps one of the best functions of the labour bureau in disseminating knowledge as to the conditions and prospects in the various avenues of employment. In this way many who have no idea as to the best method of getting to places and where to pursue their inquiries are saved much needless trouble and expense. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are three offices registered under the Act. The offices are well conducted by capable and qualified persons, and the Act observed, no complaints having been received. Factories Act. Two hundred and ninety-five factories have been registered, employing 1,727 operatives— viz., 1,202 males and 525 females —an increase of 17 factories and 140 w-orkers. This increase is indicative of the steady progress made. Four of the new factories registered are for industries new to the district. One hundred and seventy-eight women and boys have worked 4,241 hours' overtime. Sixty-two certificates of fitness for employment have been issued to persons under sixteen years of age —viz., 32 males and 30 females. Thirty-six accidents were reported during the year; the most serious was caused by a travelling pulley falling from an overhead rail and striking a worker on the head, fracturing his skull. In no case was any of these accidents traceable to negligence on the part of the employers, and only in one case was it found necessary to confer with the Inspector of Machinery with respect to machinery being properly fenced. In those factories where machinery is used the occupiers have, at my request, affixed a cabinet in a conspicuous place, with appliances for rendering first aid. It is essential that all factories should have such materials handy for use. Of all the labour laws this Act appears to be best understood by those affected, and, consequently, is responsible for the least friction. Special attention has been paid to the cleanliness and sanitary arrangements of the various factories and work-rooms, and very little trouble has been experienced in getting occupiers to effect improvements when requested to do so. Several new factories have been erected, and in these cases attention has been paid to the convenience and comfort of the employees. As instancing the excellent manner in which the provisions of the Act are carried out, it was not necessary to prosecute in any case of default. Shops and Offices Act. This Act requires a great deal of attention at the present time. The number of requisitions from the shopkeepers fixing the hours of closing under section 25 makes it necessary to pay visits of inspection at various hours in the evenings, and there is much confusion over the hours of closing. A real grievance exists among those shopkeepers who close by requisition, on account of other shops who carry on a general business, and who sell goods as a side line similar to those sold in the shops which have closed, remaining open. I think a fixed general closing-hour for all shops w-ould be beneficial, and I believe would be accepted by the shopkeepers themselves. Hotel and restaurant keepers are showing commendable zeal in their anxiety to comply with the provisions of the award and the Amendment Act, 1910. Schedules of hours of employment have been affixed in places accessible to the workers, showing the period during which each assistant must be on duty. Time and wages books and the holiday-books are kept well, and it is thus made easy to trace any neglect or default. The number of shops on the register is 303, an increase of 54 over the previous year. Warrants for overtime were issued to 284 assistants, who worked 4,156 hours. Visits of inspection w-ere made to every shop in the district, and due attention was paid in regard to the wages paid to employees, the sanitary arrangements, &c. The number of prosecutions under the Act was 7; conviction w-as obtained in each instance. None of the cases calls for special comment. A number of minor cases were settled out of Court, and the sum of £10 17s. 9d. arrears of wages was recovered and paid over to the employees through the Department. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act. It is pleasing to note the decrease in the number of cases brought before the Court for breaches of the various awards. The good feeling existing betw-een the employers and employees renders it easy to effect amicable settlements in cases where it is shown that the breaches are not wilful, consequently there has been very little friction in the duties of enforcing the Act. Twelve employers and employees were cited for various breaches of awards, and penalties were inflicted in 10 cases. In addition to this the sum of £45 13s. lid., arrears of wages due to employees, was collected. Shearers' Accommodation, etc., Act. Visits of inspection have been made to those stations where improvements or new accommodation had been ordered, and it was found that the requests of the Department had all been complied with. Visits have been paid to other stations where complaints have been received respecting the accommodation, and notices to provide accommodation, or to effect improvements, have been served where necessary.

H.-ll

Workers' Compensation Act. Advice is often sought by workers as to the mode of procedure in making their claims for compensation, and the Department is able to render a great deal of practical help to those entitled to same. Section 5 of the new Amendment Act, in allowing medical or surgical expenses up to £1 to the worker in respect of his injury, is a great advantage, especially in the case of minor injuries, to those who receive a small wage, as it often occurred that the medical expenses amounted to more than the compensation received. The only complaint I have received is where compensation, instead of being paid weekly, has been withheld until the worker resumed work. Scaffolding Inspection Act. As Inspector of Scaffolding, I have paid visits of inspection to all buildings in course of erection, and in the course of those duties have visited Eltham, Hawera, Marton, and Taihape. (See detailed report.) Conclusion. I desire to acknowledge the kindly courtesy I have invariably received at the hands of all those with whom my duties have brought me in contact. I have, &c, Henry E. Moston, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

PALMERSTON NORTH. Sir,— Palmerston North, 24th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit to you my annual report upon matters coming within the jurisdiction of the Palmerston North District office of the Department of Labour for the year ending the 31st March, 1912. Trade and Labour Market. The year just ended has been a good one for both employers and employed. Trade generally has been very satisfactory, and plenty of work has been available. A pleasing note is that the local Charitable Aid Board has found it necessary to expend less in relief-work during the past year than in any previous year for the past decade. Another notable feature of the past year is that three picture-shows have been running nightly, and drawing good houses, at Palmerston North. During the past few months a skating-rink has started, and is being well patronized; and all round one misses the pessimistic cry that was so prevalent during the previous year. The future is bright and hopeful. Outside employment has been very plentiful, and perhaps what has helped most materially towards this has been the good weather which has prevailed through an exceptionally long and very mild summer. Buildings, especially houses, are going up in all directions, and carpenters have been and still are in great demand. A large bank building is nearing completion, and within a few weeks some dozen or so workers' dwellings will also be in course of erection. As to municipal works, I quote the following : The number of building permits issued during the year ending 31st March, 1912, was 235, the value of the buildings erected being £62,819. The amount spent by the borough in public works from loans was £4,864; and the amount spent in sewerage connections, £313. The wages paid to the Municipal Corporation workers was £9,561. The most important public work which the Council has been carrying on during the year is raising the dam at the waterworks to a height of 50 ft., and the result will be that the reservoir will hold 20,000,000 gallons of water. During the current year it is expected that £18,000 will be spent in borough works, which will include sewer extensions, asphalting the Square, cycle-tracks, surface drainage, and the erection of filters for cleansing the water. Coachbuilders and tinsmiths have had and still have difficulty in completing their orders owing to the want of labour. Tailors also complain of their inability to procure coat hands and tailoresses generally, whilst other firms have had to refuse work for lack of dressmakers. Oilskin-making has improved its status owing to so many motorists requiring articles in this line, while the Military Training Depot being fixed at Palmerston North has led to the embroidery industry being more than doubled. Overtime worked in both factories and shops shows a considerable increase over the past year, which is another proof of business activity. While skilled labour has found no lack of employment during the year, I am pleased to report that there has been less unskilled labour offering than formerly (not in any way in excess of local demands), and consequently there has been no murmur of the " unemployed." One hundred and seventy-four persons, with 58 dependants, have been assisted with railway passes at reduced fares to their places of employment. It is rather less than the previous year, which is another good sign. £56 13s. 6d. has been paid to the Railway Department for these fares, and of this amount less than £1 is still owing to this office, and even this small sum is guaranteed.

Flax-milling. Perhaps the most important industry affecting the Manawatu District is flax-milling, and ■ the result of my inquiries into the condition of the industry for the past year shows that from the employers' point of view, notwithstanding the low- prices experienced for hemp, the industry has steadily progressed during the last two or three years, which has been largely due to improved machinery and the fine area of flax to work upon. The price offered for hemp has been fairly steady, and has ranged from £18 ss. to £18 15s. per ton for " good fair " (" fair " quality about £1 ss. less). Labour has been rather scarce since New Year, though none of the mills appear to have suffered loss on account of the scarcity. It is usual for most of the mills to either close down or turn out less hemp during the winter months. Some few have closed dow-n already, or are working less strippers. They all endeavour to get a start again in either July or August, as it is found that flax cut between August and March grows better than that cut in the other part of the year. A special impetus has been given to the industry by the Government's offer of £12,000 bonus for improved machinery, and there are great expectations in this connection. With regard to new machinery, work continues to be done at the patent scutcher in which a number of millers throughout the district are interested; so far, however, all efforts to perfect this branch of milling have been futile. From the workers' point of view, the last twelve months in the flax-milling industry have been fairly satisfactory. Many of the mills in the district have been working night shifts, and there has been practically no overplus of labour. There was at one period a prospect of very serious trouble, owing to fresh demands relating to cutting-rates, weighting-methods, and conditions of work in the swamps, being formulated by the union. As these claims did not receive the prompt attention from the employers which the men alleged was necessary, a mass meeting of the workers was called by circular to consider the question, and to decide what steps should be taken to settle the matter, "either within or without the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act." Some 800 men responded to the call, and the mills throughout the district were compelled to close down for that day. Fortunately, the executive of the union had invited the Conciliation Commissioner (Mr. P. Hally) to be present in an unofficial capacity, and it was largely due to this gentleman's tact, and the ability and good influence of Mr. R. Dalhousie, the president of the workers' union, that a strike was averted. The committees of the two bodies interested (the union and the Flax-millers' Association) subsequently conferred, with Mr. Hally as chairman, and an amicable settlement was arrived at. Dairying. Perhaps the next most important industry in the Manawatu is that of butter and cheese making and dairying generally. The season just drawing to a close has been remarkable in many respects. The farmers have had a very good season, and if the supply of grass keeps up as it promises to do at present the season is going to be a specially long one, and, with the prices prevailing for butter-fat, the prospects are very bright indeed. One effect of the supply keeping up so well at the end of the season will be that the price of winter butter is not likely to be so high as freely predicted a month or two ago. In the butter and'cheese factories new developments are pending; in connection with the manufacture of cheese, the making of whey butter and other economies have opened up possibilities which are having a tendency to induce farmers to open up small co-operative cheese-factories at points where skimming-stations have been in operation hitherto. On the other hand, the possibilities in the manufacture of casein from skim-milk are inducing others to consider the advisability of taking steps to secure the advantages which will accrue from this new departure. There has been little or no trouble between employers and workers, and what has occurred has usually been settled by conciliatory methods. On the whole, this important industry shows signs of rapid expansion in this district, and the coming season will probably show an increase in the number of factories running and in the number of men employed. Factories Act. There have been 265 factories registered during the past year—B over the previous year— within the Borough of Palmerston North. The number employed therein was 1,438, and the wages paid amounted to just over £105,120. Certificates of fitness, permitting young people under the age of sixteen to work in factories, have been granted in 67 cases —36 to males and 31 to females. This is a large increase upon the previous year. Overtime has been worked in 22 workrooms by 158 boys under sixteen and women, and the number of hours worked was 6,107, again a big increase over the previous year. Accidents in factories reported during the year numbered 26. One resulted in death (causht in machinery at a flax-mill), one eye taken out (engineering), and one hand off (printing). The other cases were not serious. The sufferers and relatives were made aware of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act. In only one case (printing) could the accident be said to be the fault of the employer or the result of defective machinery. The machine at fault has since been condemned. The factories throughout, the borough are well kept, being clean and well ventilated. In only one instance has an occupier been called upon to clean his premises,

Shops and. Offices Act. Three hundred and ninety-nine shops—7o more than the previous year —have been registered within the borough. The number of employees was 1,123, being 330 over the past year. The wages paid to shop-assistants totalled slightly over £65,000. In 19 shops 1,925 hours' overtime was worked by 158 assistants. This is a big increase upon the year before. Shopkeepers generally have kept the necessary wages and time books, and have shown a desire to obey the law as to closing-hours. Warnings have had to be given in several cases, but very few have needed a second reminder. In this note of commendation I should specially mention the hotels. As far as the labour laws are concerned, the hotelkeepers have all endeavoured to keep within the requirements of the Act, and have made frequent inquiries at this office so as to discover their position and what to do to prevent breaches. Servants' Registry Offices Act. Four servants' registry offices are licensed at Palmerston North, against six for the previous year. Each has been satisfactorily conducted, and no complaints have been received concerning them. One office has only recently been registered. I have been able to ascertain the following statistics from the four licensed offices for the year just ended: Number of engagements, 2,368; number in which the worker was charged a fee, 2,155; number in which the employer was charged a fee, 88; amount of fees paid by workers, £452 7s. 6d.; amount of fees paid by employers, £10 6s. Young People working in Shops. A young person under sixteen has to obtain a permit to work in a factory, but not in a shop, yet the factory works less hours, and is by far the healthier of the two. Only a few Saturdayevenings back I visited one of the largest shops in Palmerston North. It was a pouring wet night, and what with the humid atmosphere and the intense heat of the big lights the employees looked, as they said they felt, ready to drop. On Saturdays eleven hours are allowed for working. I have frequently been told of young girls being compelled to seek other employment —they cannot stand the strain. Again 1 urge the consideration of this matter in the interests of our young people. Prosecutions under Factories, Shops, Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration, and other Acts, and Cases settled out of Court. As has been my custom in regard to the observance of the provisions of the various Acts and awards affecting each particular business, my aim has been the prevention of breaches being committed. Innumerable warnings have been given both verbally and in writing, and only as a last resource has the aid of the Court been invoked. That the number of breaches committed has been less than last year is evidenced by the number of Court cases, and by the fact that only 21 registered letters of warning have been sent to law-breakers. In a large number of cases employers were allowed to put themselves right by paying arrears of wages that were due, and £213 12s. lOd. was recovered in this way by this office and paid over to the workers concerned. Quite a large number of complaints received were duly investigated, and being unsubstantiated no further action was taken. Cases taken into Court : Under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 24 cases were taken; 2 were dismissed, and 22 breaches were recorded, with £21 7s. penalties and costs. Under the Shops and Offices and Factories Acts 14 cases were taken into Court; 1 was dismissed, and 23 convictions were recorded, with £6 19s. fines and costs. Where more than one case was taken against the same defendant only one penalty was asked for, convictions only being recorded in the other cases. One of the cases taken into Court is deserving of special mention. Proceedings were taken for having work done in an unregistered workroom (Factories Act). The Magistrate decided that, while the first part of the section of the Act dealing with textile material provided that " occupiers of factories " cannot have any work done in an unregistered w-orkroom, the second part of the section is intended to extend this provision to shopkeepers who are not occupiers of factories, prohibits only complete garments (not merely material) from "being made up " in an unregistered factory, and' dismissed the case. The article in question had been altered in an unregistered factory. Seeing that the sole object of the clause in the Act is to prevent sweating, and textile material (which is so subject to catching the germs of any disease) from being w-orked upon in insanitary places or amid unhealthy surroundings, if the Act has been correctly interpreted by the Magistrate, it requires, in the public interest, amending at the first opportunity. There is just as much risk in an article being impregnated with germs while being repaired or altered as there is while it is being " made up." Generally, the industrial laws have been administered without friction, and every effort has been made not to harass the employers throughout the district both by the local police officers, who fill the position of local Inspectors, and by myself. Conclusion. During the year I have visited Ashhurst, Awahuri, Bull's, Feilding, Foxton, Glen Oroua, Kairanga, Kelvin Grove, Levin, Longburn, Marlon, Moutoa, Otaki, Rongotea, Rangiotu, Rangitane, Shannon, Tiritea, Taikorea, Woodville, Whitanui, and Whakaronga. To the police officers of these places I tender my best thanks for the assistance they have at all times so cheerfully rendered, in most cases accompanying me on my visits to the various places requiring inspection.

Within the Borough of Palmerston North all the shops and factories have been visited during the year, as also have been many employers of labour working under awards. From each one visited every courtesy and consideration has been received. I have, &c, W. J.

MASTERTON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Masterton, 24th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit herewith for your consideration the annual report of the working of the Department in the Masterton district for the year ended 31st March, 1912. During the period just ended all persons concerned in business and trade and labour-condi-tions have enjoyed w-hat may well be considered a very successful year. Employment, through its various avenues, has been fairly plentiful during the greater portion of the year. Commercial business has maintained a fair level generally, while some of the old-established firms report a record turnover during certain months in connection with ordinary sales. In addition to the work at the freezing-works recently opened in this district, sausage-casing manufacturing has now assumed considerable proportions, and a number of men obtain steady employment during the season in this trade. The dairying industry, in the manufacture of butter and cheese, has experienced an excellent year, and the output anticipated at the commencement of the season has been well sustained and satisfactory prices received. Additions were made to several factories during the previous year, and it is again proposed to increase the capacity of some of the factories throughout the district, also to erect new ones in readiness for the forthcoming season. The sawmilling industry, which at one time was of very considerable commercial interest in the Wairarapa district, but of late years has dwindled down to a small factor, is about to be revived by the establishment of a mill in a bush of considerable size situated some fourteen miles from Masterton. This will cause employment for a number of men The building trade has, during the greater portion of the year, maintained a good level, and compares most favourably with that of the previous year; the number of building permits issued in accordance with the by-laws within the borough was 66, and the buildings were estimated to cost approximately £28,000; this show-s almost twice the number of permits, and more than double the cost of buildings, as compared with the previous year. A considerable number of new buildings have been erected throughout the country districts, and generally very fewtradesmen experienced any slack time. The motor trade is now making considerable strides, and engaging a much larger number of hands. Several additions have been made to local factories, and new machinery installed, in order to successfully cope with the increased repair-work and manufacturing that is proposed to be done. The coach and carriage building trade has experienced a very busy year, the demand at times being in excess of the amount of labour that could be supplied. The majority of tradesmen throughout the district have experienced no difficulty in obtaining full working-time, and, in addition to this, a considerable amount of overtime has been worked. Agricultural-implement manufacturing, engineering, and iron-working have experienced a very fair year. All tradesmen, especially in the implement-manufacturing, have been exceptionally busy. The furniture trade has made considerable improvement during the past year. There has been a demand for efficient workers, and those engaged in the trade have experienced something like full time. Retailers in the trade express themselves as being much more satisfied with the turnover for the period. The cement, pipe, and brick and tile manufacturing trades have maintained a steady output, and all hands have been steadily employed. Leather trades: Very fair steady employment has been experienced in connection with saddlery and harnessmaking, also bootmaking and repairing. Clothing trades : Tailoring and dressmaking report a busy year. In each of these trades a great difficulty has been found at various times in obtaining skilled workers, and the only way found to cope with the difficulty has been to work a certain amount of overtime. The year tliroughout has been an uneventful one, and free, so far as this district is concerned, from any industrial strife of any kind. The labour laws have been administered without much friction. Employers and employees now have a better knowledge of the requirements of the various laws, consequently there is less chance of infringement. Factories Act. One hundred and fifty factories were registered, a slight decrease on the number registered during the previous period. Overtime warrants were issued to 16 employers to allow 86 women and boys to work 2,850 hours' overtime.

Certificates of fitness to work in factories were issued to 12 young persons —6 females and 6 males. The period has been most free from accidents in factories, only 6, all of a minor nature, being reported. In each case the provisions with regard to workers' compensation for accidents were explained. Several matters in connection with the better sanitation of factories have called for attention; the necessary improvements in each case were effected. In this direction the co-operation of the health officers for the district has been of very valuable assistance. The factories throughout the district have been visited from time to time, and generally found satisfactory. All recently erected factory buildings have generally been designed with a greater care for the comfort and convenience of the employees. No prosecutions were taken under this Act during the period; the provisions are now so universally accepted that a breach rarely occurs. Shops and Offices Act. The provisions of this Act have been fairly well observed, but, owing to keen competition, the slightest point that may be obtained is quickly taken advantage of. The amendment of 1910, which necessitated a wages-book being kept by every occupier who employs assistants, has proved of very great assistance in regard to the inspection of shops. One hundred and seventy-seven returns were furnished by occupiers of shops in this district; this number shows a decrease on that of the previous year, and is accounted for by the fact of a number of smaller shops,, who did not employ assistants, going out of business, or closing down. Overtime permits were requested by 16 employers to allow 53 males and 48 females to work 2,128 hours, for which overtime rates were duly paid. Four prosecutions were taken against occupiers for breaches of this Act; convictions and fines were recorded. The principal shops have been visited, and in the greater number of cases found satisfactory. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. There has been no serious difficulty arising out of anything in connection with this Act, but at various times the necessary inspection has entailed a very considerable amount of travelling and investigation. The Shearers' award ran fairly smoothly during the season, the rates generally paid being in excess of those laid down in the award. Differences between employers and shearers occurred in a few instances, but upon investigation these were found to be breaches of contract rather than breaches of the award. The local slaughtermen and freezing-works employees entered into an agreement with the Wellington Farmers Meat Company (Limited) with regard to rates and wages at the commencement of the season, and subsequently everything in this respect has proceeded most smoothly. Three prosecutions were made. Convictions were obtained in two cases, penalties amounting to £1 being inflicted. One case was dismissed. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are now two servants' registry offices conducting business in this district; the third office declined to reregister when the date of license expired. Of the two remaining offices, I find the books are carefully kept, and the fees charged in no case exceeded those prescribed in the Act. Shearers' Accommodation, etc., Act. In the majority of cases throughout the district where additions to shearers' accommodation have been ordered by the Department the improvements have been carried into effect, and in further instances new accommodation has been erected throughout. Several stations have been visited, and the accommodation conditions found fairly good. During the season very few complaints have been received at this office with regard to the inadequacy of shearers' accommodation. Men's Employment Branch. There has been a much better demand for workers of all descriptions than previously. Almost all classes have been in request and catered for through this office. It is pleasing to note that the various employers, settlers, farmers, and stationholders are gradually using this agency more and more in request for suitable labour. With the general information gained from various sources valuable assistance was rendered to shearers during the season in enabling them to obtain shearing stands throughout the district. Two hundred and thirty-four were assisted to various callings, principally to private employment. Women's Employment Branch. This branch is now fairly widely known to both employers and employees. Fairly full advantage has been taken of the office, and the engagements made have been satisfactory. The number of applications from employers has greatly exceeded the number from employees. (For further particulars see Miss H. R. Hodge's report.)

Conclusion. I have visited all parts of the Wairarapa district. I wish to extend my appreciation of the willing assistance always received at the hands of the police officers who act as Inspectors in the various parts of the district. I would again record my thanks for the courteous treatment received from employers and employees, also the secretaries of local unions, with whom I have come in contact during the course of making any official inquiries into the working of the various Acts or awards. I have, &0., J. Georgeson, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

NELSON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Nelson, 25th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit for your consideration my report on the administration of the various labour laws throughout the Nelson District for the year ending the 31st March, 1912. The period does not present any remarkable features. There have been no serious disturbances in the various industries carried on in the district. Trade, generally, has been quite up to the standard of previous years, and many trades show a marked improvement. The outlook, from all points of view, is very promising for the coming year. The building trade has been fairly good in both the city and country districts. There have been issued in the city 101 building permits, and buildings to the value of £23,500 have been erected; whilst in the country districts the estimated value of buildings erected is £12,000. All tradesmen have been kept fairly w-ell employed, and work has been more plentiful than in the previous two years. In the leather trades, saddlery and harness making has maintained a steady level. Few, if any, tradesmen have been out of employment. A good demand has existed in the boot trade for order-work, and employers state that there is a growing tendency for this class of boot. All operatives have been kept busy. The year has been a record one in the clothing trades. There has been a continual demand for all classes of labour in the dressmaking and order tailor shops. Employers state they have great difficulty in obtaining sufficient labour to carry out orders coming to hand. A. considerable amount of overtime has on this account been worked in these branches. Business has been fairly bright in the woodworking trades. This has been very noticeable in connection with sawmilling. There has been a good demand for sawmill hands and bushmen. The engineering trades, although quite up to the standard of previous years, show little, if any, signs of advancement. A set number of tradesmen are employed, chiefly on jobbing-work and general repairs to shipping. Brick and pottery works have been about normal. At no time during the year has the demand for bricks exceeded the output from the local yards. The coaclibuilding trade has grown considerably. The demand for light vehicles has been very marked. Employers report that they have been kept very busy throughout the year on order work. Employees in this branch of industry have made practically full time. The local freezing-works have had a very prosperous season, and are at present in full swing. It is estimated that 20,000 carcases of mutton will be put through the works this season. In the fellmongery and tannery trades several additions and new machines have been put into local works for the purpose of wool-scouring and dealing with green pelts. In all yards there has been an increase of staff, and employers state that the markets have been fairly firm. The returns to hand for the first nine months of the year were very good, but it is feared that the strike in England w-ill have militated against prices at late sales. The fruit industry, for which Nelson is noted, continues to advance by leaps and bounds. During the year about 530 acres have been planted, and 174,000 trees have been put in. This year 5,411 cases were shipped, to again test the British market. News has been received that the shipment arrived Home in excellent condition. This should give a true test of prices obtainable, and all orchardists are anxiously looking forward for final returns. If payable prices can be realized, a great future will be opened up for Nelson District. Fruit-preserving, one of the most important industries in the Nelson District, continues to grow in importance. All fruit-preserving factories have extended their operations and increased their plants. The great difficulty in this industry is the dearth of female and boy labour. This has been overcome, so far as possible, by putting in the latest labour-saving machinery. Notwithstanding, many orders —notably from South Africa, Argentine, and Vancouver —have had to be refused on account of the shortage of labour. An idea of the quantity of fruit handled may be obtained when two factories alone have handled 1,100 tons for the season. Agriculture: A considerable area of new country has been opened up, and a good demand has existed for all classes of farm hands. The abundant supply of feed has increased milk-supplies. Butter and cheese factories have been busy, and suppliers are w-ell satisfied with the season's returns. Owing to heavy rains, early crops were not up to the usual standard; fair prices were, however, obtained. Late crops have turned out very satisfactory,

LV

H.—ll

and fair prices have been obtained for all farm produce. Hop-growers have had a remarkably good year. Prices have been exceptionally good, ranging from Is. 2d. to Is. Bd. per pound. These prices will cause a good deal of money to be circulated in the district. Pastoralists have also had an exceptionally good year. The abundant supply of feed has enabled heavy stocks to be carried. The demand for store cattle and sheep has been far in excess of previous years, and good prices have ruled. Mining : A revival in mining has taken place this year, chiefly in the Owen and Wangapeka districts. Prospecting parties have located several payable reefs, and this has caused some excitement in the district. Whether it is simply a " flash in the pan " or likely to be permanent cannot yet be said. Shipping :At the port a considerable improvement has been made to wharves, &c. During the year there were 1,528 entries of steamers to the port; 6 of these were direct liners, 2 intercolonial, and 339 were sailing-vessels with a total tonnage of 403,913 tons. This is a considerable increase on previous years, and is a good indication of the growth of the district. Factories Act. This Act has w-orked smoothly, and I am pleased to say the period has been one of prosperity for both employers and employees. The attention of employers to sanitary requirements and protection against accidents have been willingly given. In one or two cases alteration to factories have been necessary; plans which received the approval of the local authorities overlooked the requirements of the Act, with the result that extra expense had to be incurred by occupiers in order to comply with the provisions of the Act. It is also noticeable that many employees do not appreciate the advantages of having extracts from Acts and other regulations posted up in workrooms. In many factories I find the regulations, although on the walls, much defaced, and I have very often to ask employers to replace them. During the year 280 factories were registered. This is an increase of 1 on last year. The number of workers engaged in factories numbered 1,633 —1,387 males and 246 females—as against 1,377 males and 211 females employed the previous year. Thirty-four certificates of fitness were issued to young persons to work in factories. Two hundred and thirty-six warrants to work overtime were issued to 131 females and boys under sixteen years of age, who worked 4,711 hours. This is a considerable increase on overtime worked during last year. The amount of overtime worked is a clear indication of the briskness of trade and the shortage of labour. Accidents. —Eleven accidents were reported. In one case the injury, which was caused through coming in contact with a circular saw, resulted in. the loss of three fingers of the right hand. A second serious accident was to a youth working a chocolate-refining machine; his left hand was crushed between the cogs, with the result that he lost three fingers of the left hand. The other accidents were not of a serious nature. The sufferers were all interviewed, and made aware of the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act. In no cases were employers to blame by reason of neglect, as in most instances the accidents arose from overconfidence in working machines. Notwithstanding that everything is done to assist workers, in some cases agreements of settlement have been entered into by some workers without any consultation, with the result that the settlements in no way compensated the workers for injuries received. The amending Act of 1911, which came into force on the Ist March, remedies this, and safeguards the interests of the injured. Prosecutions. —There have been 6 prosecutions under the Act. In each case the decision was in favour of the Department. Arrears of wages to the amount of £20 have been paid to workers. All factories have been visited, and I find, generally speaking, the provisions of the Act well adhered to. With few exceptions, employers in doubt seek the advice of the Department, and, as a rule, are prepared to abide thereby. Shops and Offices Act. During the year 329 shops, including 38 hotels, were registered. A total of 868 persons were engaged—329 occupiers, 320 male employees, and 219 females. The large increase in the number of shops registered is accounted for as follows : 10 new shops and 38 hotels (which prior to the coming into force of the amending Act of 1910 were not required to register as shops) being registered. The compulsory provision for keeping time and wages book in shops has had a very satisfactory result. It is now much easier to deal with hours worked and wages paid to assistants, and any attempt to evade the provisions of the Act can be more easily detected. Nearly all branches of business are now working under requisition of the majority for early closing, and, with few exceptions, shopkeepers faithfully close to time. Unfortunately. there are a few persons who are always trying to evade the hours set out in the requisitions. This causes a considerable amount of friction amongst fellow--traders, and the administration of the Act on this particular point has reouired considerable attention. Visits of inspection have been paid to all shops. Special attention has been paid to ventilation and to sanitation. Alterations are gradually being made to older buildings, and better sanitary arrangements are being put in. As a rule, I find the time and wages books, also holiday books, well kept in hotels. Hotel employees inform me that many abuses which formerly existed have now- disappeared, and. generally speaking, the hours worked in hotels come well within those set out in the Shops and Offices Act. Overtime. —191 w-arrants were issued to 141 assistants, who worked 3,598 hours' overtime. The overtime worked w-as chiefly in connection with stocktaking. Permits have been applied for in very few cases for the purpose of delivering goods or making up orders, the general work of the shop. Some employers contend that the delivering of orders should come within the meaning

F.—ll

LVI

of special work, especially when shop-assistants cannot be obtained. I do not, however, attach much importance to the latter part of the statement, for, as a rule, many young persons prefer serving in shops to other classes of work. Prosecutions. —The fact that it was only necessary to take three prosecutions during the year speaks well for the manner in which the provisions of the Act were observed. The cases taken were as follows: (1.) Failing to close shop on Wednesday, the half-holiday; this was a case of a fruiterer selling silk; convicted and fined. (2.) Canvassing for orders on statutory half-holiday; the S.M. gave a lengthy decision on this case; convicted and fined (see No. 224, Vol. xix, Journal of the Department of Labour). (3.) Chemist failing to close at hour fixed by requisition; convicted (see No. 229, Vol. xx, Journal of the Department of Labour). Scaffolding Inspection Act. As Inspector of Scaffolding for the Nelson-Marlborough District, I have visited buildings in the course of erection (see separate report). Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. The various awards and agreements have been fairly well observed, and nothing of any great importance has arisen with respect to the administration of the Act. The complaints received have been of a minor nature, in many cases without any foundation. Employers in this district endeavour to abide by the provisions of awards and agreements, and, as a rule, when in doubt consult the Department. Visits of inspection have been paid to all employers upon whom awards are binding, and time and wages books have been examined as to rate of wages paid and number of apprentices employed. A case for interpretation of award was forwarded to the Arbitration Court. Two cases were taken for (a) breach of award—failing to pay weekly wages; and (6) for making false entry in wages and overtime book. Decision in favour of the Department were obtained The Nelson Tailors and Tailoresses award, which came into force on the 4th July, 1911, caused a considerable amount of extra work, as copies of awards were not obtainable for fully six weeks after the award came into force. During that period all employers did not pay the advanced rates, and a number of special visits had to be paid in order to arrange for the payment of part back wages. These amounted to about £30. Shearers' Accommodation, etc., Act. There are twelve shearing-hseds in the district which come within the meaning of the Act. The accommodation for shearers in all cases is satisfactory. All meals are taken in the homesteads, with two exceptions, and at these cooks are employed to cook for the men Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are no servants' registry offices in the district. Men's Employment Branch. During the year work throughout the country has been plentiful, and the demand from employers for all classes of labour has far exceeded that of any previous year, and there has been little difficulty in placing men seeking employment. A considerable number of new arrivals have called at the office, and in many instances have settled down in the district. The opening-up of new lands and the demand for labour in the fruit industry have given employment to a considerable number of men. The good prices that have been obtained for fruit and hops indicate that work on fruit and hop farms will be plentiful during the coming winter. One hundred and thirty men, with 46 dependants, applied at the office and obtained suitable employment, either on Government works or at private employment. Women's Employment Branch. This branch of the Department is much appreciated both by employers and employees, and the facilities offered are taken full advantage of. The work in connection therewith steadily increases, and the demand for female labour is far in excess of the supply. (For further particulars see Miss Emerson's report.) Various matters in connection with my duties have required visits to be made to Picton, Blenheim, Havelock, Canvastown, Carluke, Murchison, Motueka, and other country towns. Visits of inspection have been paid in each case to shops and factories. I wish to record my appreciation of assistance rendered to me by local Inspectors and police officers, and also officers of the Health Department. I have, &c, S. Tyson, Inspector of Factories.

GREYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Greymouth, 24th April, 1912. I beg to submit my annual report for this district for the year ending 31st March, 1912. General. Trade generally has not been as buoyant as during previous years, which is, to a large degree, attributable to the completion and progress towards completion, of a number of our railwayextension works. In most cases, however, these works are uncompleted, and the resources that were intended to be tapped are only partially touched; therefore an easing-off in the development-work of the district has had a depressing effect upon trade generally. This, however, should disappear, as the works are being more vigorously pushed ahead. We have, in addition, experienced a very wet year, which has had a most marked effect on all outdoor industries. ■» The timber industry has flourished exceedingly well, the sale of our timber in the Australian market being particularly brisk. Unfortunately for the millers, however, the demand for red-pine has fallen right away in the Australian market, with the result that a few red-pine mills have had to close down. The demand for w-hite-pine is still as brisk as ever. Unfortunately, the white-pine areas are not so large as the red-pine forests, in consequence of which, if the depression in the sale of red-pine continues, it will be a very serious matter for the sawmillers and those dependent upon the industry for employment. It may, however, be of short duration. The silver-pine timber is getting very scarce, and can now be got only a long way back in the bush. The West Coast exported 38,177 sleepers last year, in addition to what were required for the local railway service. It is a thousand pities that this beautiful, soft, endurable timber is about to totally disappear from the West Coast bush, as it has proved a wonderful asset both as a durable wood for railway sleepers and for ornamental furniture. Its value as a timber for veneering is renowned, and it is surpassed by none other for use in artistic ornamental furniture, while its durability and" clefiance of that scourge of all New Zealand timbers, the wood-borer, have added greatly to its value generally. However, its inevitable doom is sounded, and the industry is decadent. The total amount of timber exported for the year was 57,304,109 superficial feet, an increase of 14,683,903 superficial feet over the output of the preceding year. Calculating the estimate at an average of 10,000 superficial feet to 1 acre of bush, it will thus be seen that over 5,733 acres of bush have been felled dtiring the past year. The urgent necessity for afforestation is becoming more apparent. If some effort is not made to plant young trees suitable to the soil and climate, which may be used in years to come for commercial purposes, generations to follow will be absolutely shorn of their natural timber heritage. It is economically an unsound principle to force upon posterity a need which could have been obviated by the present denuders of the forest being compelled to immediately commence an active system of afforestation. But in the event of a sawmill area or timber reservation being situate in such soil as would render this course impracticable, the condition might be varied to allow of the area or areas being prepared for grazing and dairying purposes in the near future. The coal-mining industry has been fairly solid in comparison with previous years. The exports for the year are as follows: State collieries, 169.833 tons 1 cwt.; Blackball Coal Company, 163.964 tons 11 cwt.; Brunner Coal Company, 22,408 tons 11 cwt.; North Brunner Coal Company. 7,200 tons 2 cwt. ; Paparoa, 13,070 tons 4 cwt. : making a grand total of 376,476 tons 9 cwt. The output is 20,604 tons less than last year, but this is accounted for by the resumrttion of work at New-castle after the strike, and a consequent falling-off in orders here. It will be noted that this district exported 15,659 tons more coal this year than for the year ending 31st March, 1910. On the whole, substantial progress has been made. In connection with the above industry, 1,011 tons 17 cwt. of fire bricks and 2,467 tons 2 cwt. of coke were exported. The onartz-mim'ng industry, which was flourishing during the first part of the year, waned considerable- towards the end, owing wholly to industrial differences, over 400 miners having left the fields because of the failure to settle the said differences. It is w-ithin the bounds of probability, how-ever, that the matter in dispute will soon be adjusted, and the industry will move ahead again. The outlook is particularly bright for the current year, as several new reefs have been opened up. One hundred and two building permits were issued for new residences, public buildings, and additions and alterations to existing buildings, the approximate cost of same totalling £21,210. The augmentation of population is causing an increasing demand for houses. The engineering trade has been busy during the year, necessitating a considerable amount of overtime being worked. In connection with blacksmithing and coachbuilding trades business has not been so brisk as in the previous year. Dressmakers and tailors have had a particularly good year, especially the latter, as is indicated by the working of overtime almost immediately after the Christmas holidays. Men's Employment Branch. Every effort has been made to place those seeking employment with various employers in different parts of the district. It is a little difficult at times to suit the inquiring employer w-ith a suitable man, but it is generally managed by keening in close touch with the men enrolled on the books. Employers resident in the country districts have expressed their appreciation from time to time for services rendered by this office in endeavouring to meet their requirements with promptitude.

Two hundred and four skilled and unskilled workers were assisted, 103 of whom were sent to Government works; 59 were married, 7 widowers, and 138 single. The practical completion of the railw-ay-extension works, the finishing of works in hand by the Lands Department at Runanga, the suspension of work for the time being in the North Brunner Coal Company's mine, and also in the Paparoa Coal Company's mine, has been responsible for the dismissal of a large number of men. from employment. The Harbour Board dock-extension scheme being now in active operation has given employment to a few men. Probably a few more will be employed shortly as the operations extend. Factories Act. During the year 138 factories were registered. Certificates of fitness were issued to 10 boys and 4 girls under sixteen years of age. Overtime to the extent of 2,898 hours was worked by 87 females, and 4,924 hours by males, in the various factories. Five cases for breaches of the Act were dealt with by prosecution in the Magistrate's Court, 4 of which were decided in favour of the Department, and 1 case was dismissed; 25 cases were investigated re failure to pay wages in full, and were settled amicably without recourse to law, back wages amounting to £42 3s. 4d. being recovered. Altogether there have been 14 accidents, 1 fatal and 4 serious, the rest causing minor injuries. Inquiries were instituted in each case as to the proper guarding of the machinery, and to see that the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act were complied with. Generally speaking, the Factories Act has been fairly well complied with. In a number of old buildings the ventilation and sanitation is not up to the standard of efficiency that would be insisted upon in a new- structure. I would respectfully draw the attention of the Department to the desirability of having section 41 of the Factories Act amended, making it imperative that occupiers of factories shall notify Inspectors, of accidents that may happen to their employees beyond the sphere of the factory premises. For instance, most serious accidents happen to men engaged in getting logs for the mill in the bush some miles from the factory, and because of their isolation from the factory building no notice is at present required. Shops and Offices Act. The registration of 200 shops has been effected; five have since been, closed. The provisions of the Act have been fairly well observed. In a few instances a letter of warning has been sufficient to make the occupiers more cautious. Five cases were dealt with under the Act by prosecution, 4 of which were decided by the Magistrate in favour of the Department, and 1 was dismissed. Nine cases were investigated re failure to pay w-ages in full, and the sum of £11 lis. was recovered without recourse to legal action. Shopkeepers who have requisitioned the aid of section 25 of the Act have appreciated the regularity of closing-time fixed by them through its provisions. During the year the stationers and booksellers have also taken advantage of the provisions of the Act, and a petition has gone forward from the hairdressers and tobacconists asking to be brought under this section. Overtime permits were granted to 42 assistants, w-ho w-orked 724 hours' overtime. Scaffolding Inspection Act. Inspection visits have been made to all buildings in course of erection throughout the Industrial District of Westland. (See reports of Inspectors of Scaffolding.) Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. ' The provisions of the Act have been fairly well observed in connection with awards that have been in operation. A considerable amount of attention has been given to the Westland Tailoring Trade award, which came into operation at the beginning of the year. This was owing principally to the parties attached not understanding the conditions laid down therein. However, I am pleased to report that matters are now working smoothly, and a better understanding prevails between the employers and the employed. Workers' Compensation Act. A considerable number of callers have applied for advice under this Act. In one case where a worker had been permanently incapacitated for nine months with a gashed knee-joint and crushed foot (same leg) he had received from the company £1 13s. per week during that period; the doctor then advised that he was as we'll as he (the doctor) could make him; the leg was wholly useless, but was not deemed so under the Act at that time; the claimant put the case into the hands of the Department, and a final settlement in a lump sum of £270 was secured for him. In another case a full settlement.'was effected for £62 Bs. 9d., plus £18 ss. Id. during period of incapacitation, making a total of £80 13s. 9d. for the loss of two finger-joints of each of third and fourth fingers. ■

Conclusion

Hokitika, Ross, Kumara, Brunnerton, Reefton, and Westport have been visited, and' a general inspection made of the various shops, factories, &c, in each town and district. Considering the limited amount of time at the disposal of the officers of the Police Department who have been appointed to take up the added responsibility of Inspectors of Factories in these towns, they have done well indeed. I have to express my sincere thanks for the courtesy and assistance I have received at their hands during the execution of my duties, I have, &c, John Jackson, Inspector of Factories.

TIMARU. Sir, — Department of Labour, Timaru, 24th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit for your consideration my report on the Department's work in the South Canterbury district for the year ending 31st March, 1912. It is pleasing to note that the prosperity of the district referred to in my last report has continued right through the year that has just expired, nothwithstanding the fact that during last summer a great deal of wet weather was experienced, and through it the shearing and harvesting operations were somewhat delayed. The wool season was a very good average one, and prices were well maintained at each of the local sales. The freezing-works industry last season was exceptionally busy, but it is thought that a considerable falling-off will be experienced this season owing to the large number slaughtered last season, and to the increased demand for stock required by new settlers. The grain harvest has been a fair average one, and had it not been for the inclement weather experienced during the summer there is little doubt that the crops would have been phenomenal; as it is, one hears of farmers here and there whose crops have threshed 80 bushels of oats and 60 bushels of wheat per acre respectively; but, on the other hand, a few crops w-ere not worth reaping. The dairying industry has revived considerably, and the institution of a grading store at the port has greatly improved the export facilities. The building trade has beer, very busy indeed, and men have been much in demand in all branches of the trade, but a shortage of bricks during a good part of the summer seriously delayed several contracts. The number of applications for building permits issued by the Borough Council during the year was 250, and the estimated cost of these buildings was £106,683 Is. The clothing trades have had an exceptionally good year, and there has really been no slack time to speak of since I submitted my last report. The shortage of hands in the tailoring trade referred to then is now more noticeable than ever, and the increased amount of overtime worked by fewer hands than last year shows how acute the position is becoming. (See under "Factories Act.") The retail trades have done very good business, and several new shops have been opened, and many of the well-established businesses have extended and improved their premises. The Port of Timaru has again had a very prosperous year (ending 31st December, 1911). The total exports and imports combined amounted to 185,432 tons. This exceeds last year's tonnage by over 13,000 tons; and the total imports this year were 89,963 tons (record), and the total exports 95,469 tons. The declared value of foreign and intercolonial trade was £1,451,318, and the value of the coastal trade is estimated at £750,000. The port continues to hold the third position in New Zealand in the frozen mutton and lamb exports, and has held this position for the past eight years. The number of carcases exported during'the year was 699,149. This shows a considerable decrease on the previous year, notwithstanding the fact that more animals were slaughtered last year, but is accounted for by the fact that there was a larger proportion of " potters " than usual. The principal imports and exports were as follows: Imports —Timber, 7,458,819 super, ft.; coal, 41,909 tons; general merchandise, 31,348 tons. Exports — Wool, 41,449 bales; wheat, 418,552 sacks; oats, 37,477 sacks; flour, 178,423 sacks; oatmeal, 3,655 sacks; bran and sharps, 77,669 sacks; cheese, 1,938 crates; butter, 4,040 cases. Factories Act. There were 233 factories registered. This show-s a net increase of 10 over the previous year, a satisfactory state of trade. Tw-o factories enlarged their staffs and paid the additional fees required by the Act. Fifty-nine certificates of fitness to work in factories have been issued to 23 boys and 36 girls. The amount of overtime for boys under sixteen and females has greatly increased as shown : Number of workers—l9ll, 233; 1912, 185: overtime worked—l9ll, 8,244 hours; 1912,- 10,666 n.OLII*S Thirty-six accidents were reported, 1, unfortunately, proving fatal; the remainder were principally of a slight nature, mostly cuts and abrasions sustained by freezing-works employees.

I am pleased to say that it has not been necessary to prosecute any employer under this Act, although a good many warnings have had to be given. The factories throughout the town and district are, generally speaking, w-ell equipped and conducted, and employers appear to be anxious to carry out the requirements of the Act, and to comply with any suggestions made. The drainage scheme is now practically completed as far as the business portion of the town is concerned, and the various business houses are rapidly making necessary alterations in their sanitary arrangements, and connecting with the new sewers. I have visited every factory on my register at least once during the year, and a large number have been visited several times. I have also made inspection of factories situated in the country districts. Shops and Offices Act. The number of shops registered was 266. The usual fluctuations due to the opening and closing down of small businesses has been experienced, and a few businesses of a fair size have commenced, and seem likely to continue. Overtime permits were issued to 207 assistants to work 3,038 hours. This Act is working very well, and its provisions are well observed on the whole. Seven informations were laid under the Act, and convictions, with penalties and costs, were obtained in all but one case, which was dismissed; and in one case the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court, but w-as unsuccessful, the judgment of the Stipendiary Magistrate being upheld. A large number of warnings have been given to shopkeepers, particularly in respect to the keeping of a time and wages book, but I find that there is a decided improvement lately on this point. I have visited every shop on my register. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There are only three offices now registered under this Act, and they are well conducted according to the provisions of the Act, although the practice of charging fees to workers, only is still in vogue with two out of the three offices. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Twenty-five cases for enforcement of awards have been taken before the Magistrate's Court, and penalties have been inflicted in 20 of these; in 4 cases breaches have been recorded, and only 1 case w-as dismissed. The case referred to in my last report was taken in the Arbitration Court, and a breach was recorded and witnesses' expenses were allowed. This was a case affecting the plumbing trade, and several local firms were concerned. After the Court had given its decision back wages were collected from these firms. One case for breach of the Act (failing to keep time and wages book) was taken, and a penalty inflicted. One or two strikes have occurred. They were of a very short duration, owing to the employers meeting the men's demands. The union concerned has recently cancelled its registration, and has had another strike, but things are working smoothly now. Sixteen permits to incompetent workers have been granted, and I am pleased to note the decrease in the number of these. Doubtless this is due to the fact that trade has been exceedingly good, and employers have gladly paid award rates to secure the services of even indifferent w-orkers. Workers' Compensation Act. There has been a falling-off in the number of workers seeking advice under this Act, but those who have applied have been dealt with satisfactorily, and in no instance have legal steps been necessary. The provisions of the 1911 amending Act relating to agreements of settlement of claim are in the right direction, but I think it should be extended to apply to temporary as well as permanent disablement. The provision of payment for medical and surgical attendance is of benefit to the workers, although the amount allowed is rather inadequate, as cases have occurred in the past where the cost of medical and surgical attendance has taken almost all, if not all, the compensation payable. Conclusion. During the year I have paid frequent visits to Waimate, Temuka, Geraldine, Fairlie, St. Andrew's, Pleasant Point, Washdyke, Arc, in connection with the various labour laws, and I desire to express my thanks to employers, employees, and others for their courtesy and assistance to me in carrying out my duties. I have, ore, Geo. H. Lightfoot, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

OAMARU. Sir, — Department of Labour, Oamaru, 30th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit my annual report for the year ending 31st March, 1912. General. The year closed what might be described as a cycle of bad seasons for this district, due to drought, the extent of which has not been equalled in North Otago for many years back. The harvest just reaped has placed many farmers in comfortable circumstances, who otherwise would have reached a point of serious difficulty. A land specialist who has visited most agricultural countries gives it as his opinion that the land of North Otago stands at the very top as regards crop-producing capabilities. Last season everything that the farmer of this district touched was a failure, and this year all that he put his hand to turned out well. North Otago only requires a fair amount of moisture to insure excellent returns, and the past past season yielded this in abundance. Considering the tightness of money, trade in this district may be said to have held up wonderfully well; but the credit system had, of course, to be stretched, in order to meet the necessity of farmers who had suffered through the continuous drought. The building trade has had a fairly prosperous year, and the outlook is encouraging. The woodworking and sawmilling trades, although not in large compass, have been kept steadily employed. Woollen-milling in this district is always working at full pressure, and the other branches of trade, considering all the circumstances, have done well. It might be remarked that the dairying industry here has just completed the most successful season in its history. The unemployment difficulty has been a stranger to the district for some time now, and the only trouble lately has been experienced in the difficulty of obtaining suitable labour, both for general farm-work and harvesting. Factories Act. The number of factories registered was 162, being a substantial increase upon last year. The amount of overtime worked by 116 women and boys totalled 2,494 hours. Certificates of fitness were issued to 11 girls and 10 boys under sixteen years of age. Accidents. —Seven accidents were reported and inquired into, only 1 of which could be regarded as very serious, and in this case a boy had his hand so badly crushed in the machinery that amputation w-as necessary. The Department saw that the full amount of compensation was paid. Arrears of wages were collected in 9 cases, making a total of £9 6s. lid. Seven informations were laid for breaches of this Act, and convictions were obtained. The occupiers and managers of factories are now generally doing their best to comply with the provisions of the Act, and it is a satisfaction to notice the good feeling existing between employers and employees throughout the district. Shops and Offices Act. The number of shops registered was 172 (excluding restaurants), a considerable increase upon last year. Permits w-ere issued to 65 assistants, who worked 686 hours' overtime. Twelve informations had to be laid under this Act, and convictions w-ere obtained. Amount of wages and overtime collected without recourse to the law--courts was £85 Is. lOd. Hotel and boardinghouse keepers are improving in their observance of the law. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There were 3 offices registered. They are all well conducted, and satisfactorily carry out the requirements of the Act. Shearers' Accommodation, etc., Act. I have visited for inspection a total of 9 shearing-sheds, and found that in 6 cases better sleeping-accommodation for the shearers was essential, according to the Act. Requisitions to this effect w-ere left with the employers, who, I believe, will give due attention,to the improvements required. A number of the employees complained of the clause excluding from the operation of the Act employers who have less than 6 men working in or about a shearing-shed. Conclusion. In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to both employers and employees for assistance willingly given to me when carrying out my duties. I have, &c, J. C. Yorke, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

INVERCARGILL. Sir,—- Department of Labour, Invercargill, 22nd April, 1912.. ■- I have the honour to submit for your consideration my annual report on the work of this branch of the Department for the year ending 31st March, 1912. The past year has been a year of progress in many respects. Taking the year all round, there has been little cause for complaint on account of want of employment, and where time has been lost it has been on account of bad weather rather than slackness of trade. The general progress of the district has been very marked, especially in the towns, where building has been particularly brisk. In Invercargill buildings to the value of £160,000 have been erected and commenced during the past year. Municipal undertakings have been responsible for the expediture of approximately £100,000, including £75,000 for an electric-car service, w-ith numerous works still on hand and in contemplation. The prosperity and progress of the towns has to a very large extent been reflected in the country, where farmers have not been behind hand in improving their holdings by the erection of new and up-to-date modern dwellings and other buildings necessary to the carrying-on of their industry. The early spring opened with bright prospects, crops were rushed in, and everything put in shape; but before the seed, in many cases, had time to germinate the weather broke, and has been broken ever since. In spite of this, some magnificent crops have been gathered in, and extraordinary yields have been reported in districts where a drier season would have spelt failure. The breaking-up of new country is still being vigorously carried on, and in a very few years, with newer methods, backed by the energy and grit of her inhabitants, Southland will bid fair to be classed amongst the very best farming districts in the Dominion. Dairying : This industry has a just right to be classed amongst the first and most important in the province. Up to the 31st March the quantity of cheese manufactured and exported from Southland factories totalled 77,783 cases, weighing approximately 5,100 tons, of an estimated value of £285,600. By the close of the season the value of our cheese exports should be in the vicinity of £300,000. During the past year a number of new factories were started, and so well have they done that others are being spoken about, and in due course will be in operation. There is every prospect that the 1912-13 season will eclipse the heavy output of the past season. As an industry there is perhaps no other so beneficial to the struggling settler, and those engaged in it are doing all that lies in their power to make it the leading industry in the Dominion. The system of testing herds is being more generally adopted, with excellent results, as evidenced by the cheques lifted by those who have tried the system. On the principle that it takes as much to feed an unprofitable cow as a profitable one, farmers are wise in seeing that each animal gives a fair day's return for a fair day's feeding. The rule which applies to the human w-orker giving a fair day's work for a fair day's pay should be made to apply as strictly to the animal w-orkers. On account of variable weather during the past dairying season, tests at all factories fluctuated considerably, but, taken all round, the season has been a satisfactory one for all concerned. Sawmilling : This industry is still the largest employer of skilled workers in the district. The number of mills in operation in the district is gradually increasing, and each year sees a few fresh ones added to the list. In and around Invercargill the hum of the saw is a thing of the past, and those who now wish to be initiated into the mysteries of sawmilling must travel out. There has been a constant demand for men throughout the season, at rates in advance of the award rates. A new agreement was entered into between the union and employers early in the present year; several improvements which had been long aimed at by the men having been conceded by the employers, and at the present time it is a pleasure to state that the most cordial relations exist between the tw-o parties. Flax-milling : Owing to a big drop in the price of fibre early in the year, nearly all mills in the district ceased operations, and a number of men were thereby thrown out of employment. Early in 1912 an increase in prices again set the wheels in motion, but the difficulty of finding men to work the plants prevented many from starting as early as they would have done could full staffs have been procured. With harvest-work well out of the way, men are now more plentiful, and the mills should soon be able to work full time. Flax that has rested for the past two seasons is now in first-class condition for milling, and a high-grade fibre should be procured. Building trades: This trade has been particularly active, and workers in all branches have been at a premium. From present appearances there should be sufficient work to keep all those connected with building-construction busy for the next twelve months. The completion of the Southland Meat Company's new works at Makarewa has added a magnificent block of buildings to the district. It is worthy of note that the whole of the buildings have been erected with reinforced concrete, and present a massive pile. By the time the numerous cottages and offices pertaining to the works are completed what was two years ago an ordinary railway crossing will be transformed into a substantial village. In Invercargill many massive buildings have been erected, and others are in course of erection. What strikes the eye most is the solid appearance presented by the new buildings as seen from the streets. Cottages have sprung up all over what used to be paddocks, and which are now thriving suburbs. Iron trades : The high standard of quality of the locally manufactured agricultural implements is sufficient guarantee that the close of the season found the yards almost denuded of stocks, and all hands busy on fresh supplies for the coming season. Each year sees new lands under cultivation, with a consequent increase in the demand for the necessary implements to carry on the work. Considerable additions have been and are being made to the foundries specializing in the implement-work, and the current year should see the number of workers employed very largely increased. In general engineering work has been very steady throughout the year. At times

LXIII

H.—ll

a rush set in, and overtime had to be worked to keep up with orders. There has been a fairdemand throughout the year for competent workers in the different branches of the trade. Manufacturers generally express themselves well satisfied w-ith the business done. Plumbing, gasfitting, &c. : In keeping with the rush in the building trade, plumbers and gasfitters have had a busy year. Gas-mains are being extended into the outer areas of the town, where residents have not been slow- to take advantage of the benefits bestowed by the City Corporation. In connection with the plumbing trade the ensuing year should be marked with even increased business, on account of the City Council having decided on an up-to-date sewerage system in the inner area. Connections and fittings will considerably increase the w-ork of the plumber. There was some demand at different periods of the year for plumbers at good wages, and never at any time the least complaint of slackness. Furniture trades : A very satisfactory year is reported. Not only have shop sales been good, but order work direct from the factories has shown an increase on previous years. All the work r shops have found it necessary to make additions to their working staffs. At the end of the year everything pointed to a good future for the trade. Manufacturers are adapting themselves to the newer styles in furnishings, and are keeping their stocks thoroughly up to date in every respect. Coachbuilding : Never at any time during the year has there been the least suspicion of dulness in this trade. Motor-car building has now become an established branch of the trade in the local workshops, and some of the cars turned out would be a standing advertisement to any workshop in the Dominion. Probably nothing finer in finish and general get-up than the local production can be seen anywhere. The opening of new country has created a demand for drays, spring carts, Arc, and orders have been continually overlapping. At the closing of the year the workshops were full up with orders for prompt delivery. Boot and shoe trade : There has been more time lost by workers in this trade than in any other of the indoor industries. About the middle of the period under review both female and male operatives were on enforced holidays for some weeks. After the New Year things brightened up considerably, and at the close of the period there was plenty of work for all. Tailoring: There has been an increase in the number of tailoring.establishments in the town, with, apparently, ample trade for all. The amount of overtime worked by all operatives has been far and aw-ay ahead of any other trade. Female operatives were hard to get, while good tailors were always sure of work. There w-as great demand for heavy clothing at Easter time, no doubt on account of the variable weather, consequently the trade was busier than usual for the last few months of the year. Dressmaking and millinery : In the dressmaking section full advantage was taken of the overtime clauses of the Factories Act, all the work-rooms putting in well on to the limit of hours allowed. Millinery was not so busy. Newer and simpler designs in headgear have considerably reduced the demand for the milliners' art, and until something more artistic and striking in. appearance is created the milliners will not be called upon to work much overtime. Hosiery and shirtmaking : There has been a very steady demand for these goods, and the places specializing have had a very good run of work throughout the year. Agricultural and pastoral: From the point of view of the raiser of stock, the 1911-12 season cannot be looked upon as having been all that could be desired. The lambing season opened well, there being every indication.of a heavy crop of early lambs, and sheepowners were looking forward to a record season. Before the lambs were strong enough to battle for themselves cold boisterous weather set in, and the young bodies received such a check in growth that it took a considerable time to recuperate, and instead of fine, robust youngsters ready for early export, the lambs coming forward were stunted as compared with those of the previous year, with the result that operations at the freezing-works were rather spasmodic at the beginning. All livestock received a decided setback in the spring, and, on account of the changeable weather throughout the summer, have not thriven as in former years. There was abundance of grass and other green foods, but the quality was not good, and, though sheep fattened quickly, there was an absence of the firmness in flesh to be found in drier and warmer seasons. Turnip crops are not good, second sow-ing having to be resorted to over a large tract of country. Winter feed w-ill be scarce all over the district, and-should the season be a hard one, many stockow-ners will find, a difficulty in carrying their flocks through to the spring. Shearing operations were carried on under difficulties, and, in consequence, the first wool sale of the series had to be abandoned; only two sales were held, but prices were quite up to the expectations. Throughout the whole province there is a tendency to bring new lands under cultivation, and the passing of bush and sw-amps is a matter of a very few years. Farm labourers have been in short supply throughout the year, and good men were readily placed at good wages. There are plenty of openings for youths to learn farming, but the w-ork does not seem to appeal to the taste of many of this class. Men's Employment Branch. The number of men seeking employment has been comparatively small, and of those register-, ing their names, full 60 per cent, were found employment. The expenditure of loan-moneys by the City Council in the construction of tram-lines and appurtenances helped to keep a large number of men in fairly constant employment throughout the year. Public works still in hand and in contemplation should remove all anxiety on the score of lack of employment for some considerable time. There has been a constant demand for men for country work, road-construc-tion, flax-milling, &c. A number of flax-mills were delayed in starting on account of shortage of suitable labour. Harvesting operations w-ere carried on under difficulties, and farmers w-ere forced to adopt a system of; socialism by helping one another to save the crops. There were not;

H.—ll

LXIV

any Government w-orks started in the district during the year, and men taken by the Public Works or other Government departments were required for finishing off and carrying on works left over from the previous year. Factories Act. The number of factories registered was 338, exactly the number registered the previous year. Certificates of fitness were issued to 49 young persons to w-ork in factories —29 boys and 20 girls. Last year's figures :49 permits —28 boys, 21 girls. Overtime. —In factories 320 females and boys under sixteen years of age worked 12,224 hours. Accidents. —Tw-enty-five accidents w-ere reported and inquired into during the year, 1 of which was fatal. Half-holidays. —The w-eekly half-holiday for females and boys has been strictly observed in* the various factories. Prosecutions. — One prosecution w-as taken under the Factories Act—against a laundryproprietor for failing to pay wages fortnightly to an employee. Shops and Offices Act. There has not been any prosecution under this Act in Invercargill, but it has been necessary to caution several shopkeepers against keeping open after closing-hours fixed by requisition. The introduction of time and w-ages books has been gradually brought about, and, although a little trouble was occasioned in the initial stages, the system is now working satisfactorily. A number of shops have changed hands, some had ceased to exist, while new places have been opened. The half-holiday has been well observed, and very little complaint has been made with regard to alleged back-door trading, which is the hardest possible offence to detect and sheet home to the guilty person. An amendment to the Act, giving an Inspector power to prosecute any one trying to gain admittance to a shop after closing-hours, would have a wonderfully good effect, and would go a long way towards putting a stop to a nefarious practice too common in all centres. Returns were collected from 382 shops and restaurants, an increase of 25 over the previous year. Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act. Work under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act is increasing year by year. The number of awards operating in Southland has now reached the respectable total of 37, covering almost every trade and industry carried on in the district. Inspection under the different awards entails a considerable amount of travelling, which in a year amounts to thousands of miles. Visits have been paid to all the outlying districts at intervals during the year, and working conditions have been explained to those coming under awards. There is usually a little friction when a new award comes into force, or some industry is brought under an award for the first time. On such occasions everything possible has been done to clear away misunderstandings and put the offending ones on the right track. Three persons were proceeded against for breaches of awards. In 2 cases penalties were inflicted, and 1 was dismissed for want of sufficient evidence. Penalties amounted to £6, and £1 3s. costs were allowed. Back wages amounting to £17 18s 9d. were collected, covering breaches of the tailoring trade and sawmilling awards. Servants' Registry Offices Act. There were 8 persons holding licenses under the Act in Invercargill, and the requirements of the law have been strictly carried out. Conclusion. In conclusion, I have again to thank the police officers in the outlying districts for the valuable assistance at all times cheerfully given. Our police Factory Inspectors devote a considerable amount of time to the work of inspection, and are ever ready to assist in carrying out award work in their respective districts. I have, &c, H.-B. Bower, Inspector of Factories. The Secretary of Labour and Chief Inspector of Factories, Wellington.

DARGAVTLLE. All branches of trade have been brisk, and almost all employers have had difficulty in obtaining sufficient men to keep pace w-ith the work in hand. The building trade has been particularlybusy, and builders have refused work owing to the scarcity of good men. Painters are now advertised for at 14s. per day, and are obtained only with difficulty. The tailoring trade has also been busy, and a fair amount of overtime had to be worked to keep up with the demand. The saw-milling industry has been w-orking full time during the year, and overtime occasionally to execute orders. Unskilled labour has been in great demand; sufficient good men could not be got to do the work in the district, and contractors have not tendered for work on that account. Roadmen are receiving 9s. and 10s. per day. Good bushmen are getting £2 15s. and found (per week). There has also been a great scarcity of domestic servants in the district. Hotelkeepers and boarding-house-keepers have been continually advertising for suitable women.

HI-—ll.

WHANGAREI. Trade generally has been satisfactory. The dairying industry has been good, also the fruit industry. The coal-mines have had a fair year, as also the timber industry, saw-milling, &c. Freezing-works are about to start at Whangarei Heads.

HAMILTON. There has been plenty of employment for those who wanted work, and at times labourers were scarce. The building trade especially has been very brisk.

STRATFORD. It may safely be said that there have been no unemployed men or women in this district during the year. This district until recent years consisted of a number of backward bush settlements, without roads worth the name, but now the Borough of Stratford is the centre of a prosperous dairying district.

HAWERA. Hawera and surrounding district is chiefly engaged in the dairying industry, and during the milking season —namely, from October to May —there is no difficulty in obtaining employment, and during the remainder of the year there are various bushfelling contracts and roadforming jobs that absorb all surplus labour. On the whole, the past" year has been a prosperous one for Hawera. •

FEILDING. In regard to factories, there has been a decrease of 2, and in registration of shops a decrease of 1. This state of things is not quite w-hat it should be for a district so financially sound and progressive as this is. On inquiring from leading importers and employers of labour here I find there is a shortage of skilled labour, especially in the dressmaking and tailoring branches, and employers have been unable to procure sufficient for their trades; hence they have imported during last year one-third more of goods made in England than ever before, such as ladies' jackets, readymade costumes, and men's clothing. During the coming season it is anticipated that fully onehalf of the articles named will be imported for sale here, it being found cheaper to pay duty on such articles than to have them made here. The fact is, skilled labour in these branches is not procurable. There have been no unemployed here during the past year, and all local men have been well employed. Building has been very brisk. There seems to be always a demand for boys on farms. I believe this may be accounted for by the fact that the boys of small farmers will not remain at home, especially on dairy farms, and get away the first opportunity. It may seem strange that many of these boys have a desire for the sea and for mechanical engineering. Again, boys in country towns will not go farming or milking, but prefer to get to a city as early as possible. A proper solution of this would, I think, be found if the parents paid their boys a fair and reasonable wage, and encouraged them to put it into the Post-Office Sayings-Bank. Most lads desire to be earning a wage, and object to working for fathers and get little or no money. The prospects for the coming winter in this district are good. I feel sure all local men will, as in the past, find plenty of w-ork locally, and not have to seek it afar. Still, I can hold out no encouragement for men from outside coming here, there being no public w-ork in progress, nor any likelihood of any being undertaken.

WESTPORT. During the past year the trade of this district has been good, and fully up to the preceding year's standard, and in some instances has exceeded it. The district still maintains its reputation for providing employment for the whole of its population, which has increased some 2,500 during the last four years; also, work has been and is still provided for a number of travelling population. Employment at present is plentiful, and openings for good workers are to be had at the railway contracts in the Buller Gorge. There is every probability of this state of affairs continuing during the coming winter, and -there is not much prospect of an " unemployed " outcry for some time to come. There were two prosecutions and convictions —one for failing to give holiday to a girl, and one for not keeping a time and wages book.

REEFTON. With a few exceptions, the laws relating to shops and factories have been well complied with. During the year 2 tailors were convicted and fined for not paying their employees fortnightly, and 1 hotelkeeper for failing to keep a time and wages book. There have been no accidents in any of the factories. 105 shops and restaurants and 25 factories were registered. The district has been suffering for some months past from a mining dispute. The mineowners desire to have most of the mining work carried out on contract instead of on wages. The Miners' Union has conceded the position in respect of certain kinds of work, but refuse to allow the work known as " stoplng "to be done on contract. The result is that scores of the men were paid off, and the mines at Reefton and at Waiuta are working short-handed by about four hundred men, nearly all of whom have left the district for other fields. There is, unfortunately, no immediate sign of the removal of the deadlock. As mining is the only industry in this district, the business people feel the position keenly. This district should be one of the most prosperous in the Dominion. Sheep, wool, pigs, bacon, fruit, butter, and cheese could easily be made staple products of the district.

ASHBURTON. The period under review has been, generally speaking, fairly prosperous. The want of boy and girl labour has been felt very keenly at times during the year, more particularly as it applies to the woollen-mills. The freezing-works have not been so busy this season, owing, no doubt, to the quantity of new feed, which has not the substance to fatten the sheep. The dairy factory here continues to prosper. In the building trade the outlook is promising, and large additions have been made during the year to several establishments here, and a considerable number of private houses have been erected both in the town and suburbs. There has been very little unskilled labour about, and even now the registry-office keepers are greatly in need of farm labourers. •

WAIMATE. Trade in all its branches has been good; the district is purely agricultural and pastoral. There is a splendid harvest. There is now plenty of work for all requiring such.

REPORTS FROM INSPECTORS OF SCAFFOLDING.

AUCKLAND. Sir, — Department of Labour, Auckland, 29th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st March, 1912. The Scaffolding Inspection Act has worked very satisfactorily, although one has to be continually on the scene to see that the regulations are strictly carried out. The building trade, like all other trades, has been exceedingly busy throughout the year. Many large buildings have been completed during the last twelve months, and several are now commencing which will run well into next spring. Visits of inspection have been paid to most of the country districts from which notices have been received. Since the beginning of the year 398 notices of intention to erect scaffolding have been received; 944 visits have been paid to scaffoldings exceeding 16 ft. high in my district, besides many others under that height. Prosecutions. For failing to send the necessary notice of their intention to erect scaffolding exceeding 16 ft. in height, 12 employers were proceeded against, and were convicted and fined in each case. For failing to report accidents, proceedings were taken in 3 instances; one case was dismissed, and in the other two fines were imposed. The total amount of penalties and costs amounted to £24 Os. 6d. Nineteen letters of warning were sent to contractors. These were chiefly men who had just started in business, and had not obtained forms and regulations. Accidents. Sixty-nine accidents were reported under the Act as having occurred on buildings in course of erection or structural alteration, 2 of which proved fatal; in one case an employee was assisting to lay a stone, when the stone overbalanced, and the employee fell with the stone to the ground, a distance of 60 ft.; the other happened during the demolishing of a building, when a large case fell on the employee, killing him instantly. Tw-o were cases of broken limbs, and the remainder were cuts and bruises. Eight scaffoldings were condemned as unsafe, or not in accordance with the regulations, and were altered or reconstructed. Many ladders and trestles had also to be condemned or repaired.

Conclusion. In conclusion, J wish to state that there is every prospect for another busy year in the building trade. Many firms are enlarging their premises, or demolishing their old premises and erecting new ones. I must express my thanks to the Inspectors of Factories in the country districts visited by me; also employers and employees who have assisted me to carry out my duties. I have, &c, Hugh Gresham, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

WELLINGTON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Wellington, 17th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st March, 1912. During the year just concluded the building trades in Wellington have been somewhat quieter than formerly, but in the country districts they have been very brisk. Several large structures, have, however, been under construction in Wellington, and this, in conjunction with the briskness of the trades in other parts of the Dominion and in Australia, has prevented slackness of employment. On the contrary, employers have complained of the w-ant of men. Nothing unusual can be noted in connection with the operations of the Scaffolding Inspection Act during the past year. The Act is still working smoothly, but the work of administration and getting strict compliance with the regulations is very heavy. Scaffolding in use at buildings, particularly the larger ones, must necessarily be continually altered, pulled dow-n, and re-erected. This entails many visits for the Inspector, and continual vigilance. Some suggestions were made during the year that the Act be amended to give Inspectors power to condemn scaffolding, material, ladders, &c., at the owner's yards. To test whether such a clause would be of any utility I visited a number of builders' yards, painters' premises, &c, at several towns, including Wellington, Palmerston North, Napier, and Gisborne. At almost all the places visited I saw gear or material quite unfit for use, but when I pointed these out to the persons in charge they invariably explained that the gear, &c, in question was already condemned, and would certainly not be used again. I am of opinion, however, that in the event of any of the firms being very busy, and having all other available gear in use, some of the alleged condemned stuff would very likely be found in use again. As far as I can see, it is almost impossible to suggest anything workable to prevent this sort of thing, except what is already bemg done—that is, to keep a sharp look-out, and prevent workmen using any such gear at their is-ork. I am pleased to report that a good deal of improvement has been effected in regard to making provision for the better protection of the public where scaffolding is erected on or near streets or footpaths, by the erection of fanguards, gratings, or fencing a portion of the street off. This applies more particularly to country towns, and I have to thank the local authorities in most of diese places for their co-operation and assistance in this connection. During the period under review 319 notices of intention to erect scaffolding were received. Compared with former years this shows a decrease of notices from Wellington and an increase in the number from elsewhere in the district. With a few exceptions, these jobs were all visited, and, of course, the larger ones many times. A large amount of scaffolding was also visited that did not come up to the height requiring notice to be sent. It is seldom a visit is made to any structure w-ithout some omission or neglect being discovered. In many instances I have had to complain of the carelessness of the workmen in removing planks or other portions of scaffolding without authority, thus leaving danger for others, and in working at dangerous places when a little trouble would make them secure. For instance, a plumber was discovered working from a portion of an old pair of steps, nearly 30 ft. above the ground; the steps were stood on the top of a light box, which was in turn supported by a small nail barrel, and this " structure " was placed upon a plank, about 9 in. wide, fastened by brackets to the walls of the building, 25 ft. from the ground. A boy stood on the plank holding the box, barrel, and steps in position. This man could have erected a very safe platform to work from out of the material handy, but took the risk of falling to save a little time. In other cases I find that some builders continue to use scaffolding material, such as planks, poles, ropes, ladders, &c., after they are worn out, and dangerous. A fair proportion of scaffolds were ordered to be pulled down after inspection, in consequence of rotten material being used, m- the material not being strong enough for the purpose it was intended for, or of the structure being wrongly or carelessly erected. 1 still, find it necessary to condemn a large number of ladders found in use in a dangerous condition. This is explained by the fact that the life of a ladder in constant use is generally very short. The proper boarding-over of joists, the guarding of wells and other openings, the fixing of fender boards to working platforms, and the strength of hoisting gear are also matters that require constant attention. I am pleased to say that when any defect or requirement is pointed out to the persons in marge they are generally very willing to comply with any suggestion or order. I am of the opinion that the Act w-ould be improved if the height of scaffolding requiring notice to be sent to the Department before erection was lowered to, say, 10 ft. The Inspectors would then have more knowledge of what is going on. Five prosecutions were taken for failing to give notice of intention to erect scaffolding over the height of 16 ft.; a fine was imposed in each case. A number of offenders were warned.

H.—ll

Thirteen accidents were reported. One was fatal, a builder at Dannevirke falling from a verandah roof about 12 ft. in height, and fracturing his skull by striking the concrete kerbing of the street. A serious accident occurred to a journeyman plumber and his assistant who had erected some temporary scaffolding, for their own use, with a ladder and a few pieces of wood; this scaffolding collapsed, and both fell to the ground, a height of about 22 ft.; the man sustained a broken pelvis and other injuries, and the boy a broken thigh. A. bricklayer in Wellington also sustained a serious injury—viz., a broken leg—through falling 4 ft.—a piece of timber breaking. A dogman fell about 48 ft. while attempting to free the hauling-rope of a crane; he escaped with a severe shock. The rest of the accidents were slight, incapacitating the injured persons for periods ranging from two days to a fortnight. Two firms were prosecuted for failing to give notice of accidents; a fine was obtained in Bach case. Others were warned. I think the small number of accidents occurring on buildings and other places where scaffolds are used must be considered very satisfactory. Although no doubt a number of accidents occur that are not reported, generally speaking these would be of a very minor nature, or otherwise the Department would get knowledge of them from some source or other. The percentage of workmen injured is very small, especially when the hazardous nature of their employment is taken into consideration. I desire to express my thanks for the valuable assistance, courtesy, and attention given by those with w-hom my duties have brought me into contact. I have, &c, R. A. Bolland, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

NELSON. Sir, — Department of Labour, Nelson, 25th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit for your consideration my report on the working of the Scaffolding Act for the year ending the 31st March, 1912. The building trade has been fairly brisk, chiefly in the country districts, and visits of inspection have been paid to the various places where buildings were in course of erection. Twenty-two notices to erect scaffolding have been received. Visits of inspection were paid in each case. As a rule, the construction of scaffolds has been in conformity with the provisions of the Act, and in very few cases has any alteration been required. There is a considerable improvement in the class of scaffolding in use on villa and small buildings. The Humphries iron bracket has come into general use for painters, and greater care has been taken with the erection of scaffolding generally. A considerable improvement can yet be made where ladders are concerned. These are a considerable source of trouble, as men will insist on nailing a few battens across light scantlings, and using these instead of properly constructed ladders. During the year I have requested a considerable number of this class of ladder to be knocked to pieces or taken off the work. Carpenters are the biggest offenders in these matters, and the ladders are a continual source of danger, both to themselves and other tradesmen who are likely to use them. Two cases were taken for failing to give notice to erect scaffolding; conviction was obtained in each case. I have, &c, S. Tyson, The Secretary for Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

GREYMOUTH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Greymouth, 24th April, 1912. I beg to submit my report on the work done under the Scaffolding Inspection Act for the year ending 31st March, 1912. Only 8 notices have come to hand for erection of scaffolding exceeding the height of 16 ft. —viz., 6 in Greymouth and 2 in Reefton; 49 visits of inspection have been paid to 18 buildings in course of erection in different parts of the district, and in most instances the Act has been found to be fairly well complied with. One scaffolding was condemned in Reefton, and ordered to be reconstructed iir accordance with the provisions of the Act. In another instance the ropes were condemned. In other cases I insisted upon more braces being put in, and the platforms widened, guard-rails put up, and the standards firmly embedded in the ground. Three ladders were condemned as being unsafe, and in another instance I insisted upon longer ladders being used in order that the labourers could step on to the platform clear from the ladder. Visits of inspection were made to Blackball, Reefton, and Westport. In the latter town J found a scaffolding erected about 28 ft. high, of which I had received no notice. Legal proceedings were subsequently instituted, and the builder was fined £2 and costs. There has been no accident of any moment during the year ; one man was incapacitated for a few days by a fall, through a faulty brace giving way. I have, &c, John Jackson, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

OHRISTCHURCH. Sir, — Department of Labour, Ohristchurch, 10th April, 1912. 1 have the honour to submit my report on the working of the Scaffolding Inspection Act in the North Canterbury district for the year ending the 31st March, 1912. During the year just passed many fine buildings have been erected, or are in course of erection; the erection of residential dwellings also continues apace. The number of notices received of intention to erect scaffolding over the height of 16 ft. have been quite up to former years. Careful inspection has been made of all ropes, ladders, scaffolding gear, guys, &c, and it has been necessary to condemn a number of ladders, ropes, &c, and to have scaffolding pulled down and re-erected where it has not been built in accordance with the Act. There have been 10 accidents, 1 of them being fatal, and 2 others were very serious. The remaining 7 cases were not very serious, and necessitated the worker losing very short time. The fatal accident was caused by the fall of an old wall of a building which was being demolished to make room for a new building, and proper precautions were not taken to safeguard the workers. The other 2 serious cases happened by the fall of the same wall, 1 w-orker having a leg amputated, and the other being crushed. During the hearing of the claims for compensation it was shown that due precautions had not been made to shore the wall up during the process of removing a part of the bottom of the wall. I would respectfully suggest that an amendment should be passed, making provision for notification to the Inspector of the intention to pull down any old building, especially if built of brick or stone, as there is frequently more danger in the process of pulling down old buildings than in erecting new ones. I would again recommend that the Act make provision for increasing the depth in which scaffoldingpoles are to be embedded in the ground from 12 in. to 24 in., as at the present time there is a danger of their falling when standing alone, either during the process of erection or of pulling down a scaffolding. I also wish to again refer to my previous recommendation as to the necessity of debarring the use of guard ropes, and providing for timber or iron guard rails only. I had occasion to make a suggestion to the Canterbury Builders Association rt the danger of the use of batten ladders for hod-carriers, and at the invitation of the association I explained the danger of batten ladders on account of nails, &c, rusting away, and other minor matters; I was informed that my suggestions would be carried out. Perhaps it would be well if the Act prohibited the use of batten ladders for the use of hod-carriers, as when the hod is loaded there is great weight to be carried by the batten, and there is only a nail or two to hold it. During the year just passed I made 1,091 visits of inspection to different scaffolding gear, &c, and had occasion to order the alteration of scaffolding in 120 cases, and to condemn altogether in 15 cases; I also condemned 20 ladders, 5 derricks, and 4 lifts. In the other 927 cases the scaffolding or gear was erected in accordance with the Act. I had occasion to recommend 3 prosecutions of builders for failing to notify me of their intention to erect scaffolding above the height of 16 ft.; these cases were taken before the Court, and judgment was given in favour of the Department in each case, the penalties amounting to £3. I made inspection of scaffolding at Islington, Ashburton, Rangiora, Amberley, and surrounding districts of Ohristchurch. I also made some inspections under the Shearers and Farm Labourers' Accommodation Act, and as to a number of breaches of awards, accidents in factories, &c. I have, &c, Edwin J. G. Stringer, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

TIMARU. Sir, — Department, of Labour, Timaru, 29th April, 1912. As Inspector of Scaffolding for South Canterbury, I have the honour to submit my report on the operation of the Scaffolding Inspection Act, 1908, during the year ending 31st March, 1912. The building trade has been very busy, and a large number of substantial buildings have been erected, several are at present in course of erection, and others are likely to be built in. the near future. There has been a large number of cottages and villas erected. During the period under review I have paid 183 visits of inspection to 85 buildings and 6 ships. On the whole, I must say there is a decided improvement in the construction of scaffolds. I have had cause to partially condemn 3 scaffolds, and in each case these have immediately been put right under my instructions. Some 30 ladders have been condemned, as either not being according to regulations or being worn out, and I would strongly recommend that an Inspector should be empowered to order the destruction of any plant that does not comply with the regulations, as I have more than once found a ladder in use that I had previously condemned on another job; and in one case a ladder that I had ordered not to be used I found had been sold to another contractor. Four accidents have been reported, the only serious one causing a broken leg; the others were of a trivial nature. One prosecution for failing to give notice of intention to erect scaffolding has been taken, and a penalty, with costs, was inflicted. I have, &c, George H. Lightfoot, The Secretary of Labour. Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

DUNEDIN. Sir, — Department of Labour, Dunedin, 6th May, 1912. I have the honour to submit the following report on the operations of the Scaffolding Inspection Act, 1908, in the Otago District for the year ending 31st March, 1912. Seventy-four notices of intention to erect scaffolding were received, but this small number, as compared with last year's figures, is no indication of the amount of scaffolding in use, as several large contracts were started before the end of last period, and the notices were included in the last report. I have paid 562 visits of inspection to 172 buildings, and generally the provisions of the Act are being properly observed. In 74 cases alterations have had to be made, principally in providing guard rails, extra bracing, and other small matters. The principal cause of complaint has been broken and badly constructed ladders, and in 28 cases such ladders have been destroyed. In one or two cases I found it necessary to order the whole of the scaffolding to be taken down and reconstructed. Owing to Southland having been made a separate district, I have been able to devote more time than formerly to the inspection of scaffolding used in connection with cottage-work, and most of the defects mentioned above have originated in the said scaffolding. The casualty list in connection with scaffolding is again surprisingly small, and I am pleased to say that only 2 accidents have been reported which entailed loss of time on the sufferers. Both these accidents were of rather a serious nature —one which was caused through the collapsing ot a green-brick arch being responsible for injuring three men, two slightly and one seriously; in the other case the man fell through a small trap-door in the floor and sustained a fracture of his hip-joint, which incapacitated him for several weeks. There are several large buildings in course of erection in this district,'notably new shops and offices for Messrs. Hallenstein Bros, (four stories), new premises for the National Bank (three stories), large warehouse and shops for Messrs. Jameson and Son (four stories), new- Baptist Church 70 ft. high, and new buildings for South Otago Freezing Company, and I attribute the almost entire immunity from accidents of any kind on the above buildings to the beneficial effects of the Act. There has been no occasion to bring any prosecutions during the period, as the whole of the builders who tender for large works are thoroughly conversant w-ith the provisions of the Act, and are conscientiously endeavouring to carry out the said provisions. In conclusion, I would like to thank all the members of the building trade with whom I have been brought into contact during the performance of my duties for their uniform courtesy, and also for their willingness to carry out any improvements or alterations in scaffolding which I have directed in my visits of inspection. I have, &c, F. Barton, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

INVERCARGILL. Sir, — Department of Labour, Invercargill, 22nd April, 1912. I beg to submit my report on the work done under the Scaffolding Inspection Act for the year ending 31st March, 1912. Since taking up my duties in May. 1911, as Inspector of Scaffolding in this district I have made 270 visits of inspection to the various buildings in course of erection. Thirty-two notices to erect scaffolding over 16 ft. in height have been received, and several notices were forwarded to Dunedin before my appointment. I have also visited at regular intervals the suburban and outlying districts, and seen that scaffolding and ladders w-ere in fit condition for working on. In many instances alterations have had to be made, but in all cases builders have been willing to carry out any alteration asked for. Only 2 accidents have been reported—neither of a serious nature. Both accidents happened whilst taking down scaffolding. Several batten ladders have had to be destroyed, and in many cases scaffolding has not been sufficiently braced. Contractors have willingly carried out instructions given. I have had occasion to visit Gore, Mataura, Wyndham, Otautau, Riverton, and Bluff, and have found that the Act is fairly well complied with. The year has been a busy one for the building trade, and some very fine buildings have been completed, and at present there is no sign of trade slackening, as several large places are in course of erection, and others about to start. There has been no prosecution under the Act. In conclusion, I have to thank the several police Inspectors for their courtesy and assistance. I have, &c, James Brown, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Inspector of Scaffolding.

REPORTS OF WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT BRANCHES OF THE DEPARTMENT.

r ! -V:: AUCKLAND. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Auckland, 25th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit my report for the year ending 31st March, 1912. During the period just closed 3,255 applications have been received and dealt with. Of these, 2,449 were from employers, and 806 from women desiring employment. Out of this number 626 engagements have been made— i.e., 90 married and 536 single women were sent to employment. In addition to the above, a large number of women who, through physical weakness and other causes were unfit for active life, have been assisted throughout the year in various ways to the means whereby they could earn a livelihood. The fact that we have been unable to supply maids for 1,782 applications received reveals the acute state of the domestic market in Auckland. As each year passes, a fair proportion of our domestics marry and set up housekeeping on their ow-n behalf, and the gaps made by these unfortunately remain unfilled. Few of our girls leaving school care to take up domestic work for a livelihood, owing to so many more attractive avenues being now open to them, and in some of these the inducements offered are exceptional. For example, clothing and other manufacturers are now offering intelligent girls who have some knowledge of machining 15s. per week to learn the trade, and, to my knowledge, the girls in a few weeks' time earn from £1 to £1 ss. per week, according to ability. The shorter hours associated with factory-work and the advantage of living at home with their parents and family appeal very strongly to our young women, and with this feeling one cannot help but have considerable sympathy. The future solution of the domestic problem undoubtedly lies largely with the mistress herself. She can make the conditions w-hich will attract the girl of to-day to her home, and induce her to remain there. Domestic service has become decidedly distasteful to many of our young women, hence their preference for other work, which is both plentiful and at hand at remunerative rates. I am afraid the mistress of the private home has not taken these phases of the question seriously into consideration, otherwise there would have been a better attempt on her part to meet the new type of girl now coming into the labour-market, who will accept only employment that is congenial to her. Much of the dislike to domestic work is due also to the uncertain hours and irregular holiday periods. Immigration. During the year 126 immigrants from overseas have been placed in suitable employment, and I am pleased to say there has been a marked improvement in the domestics who have recently landed. The women express themselves in grateful terms for the agency of the office, not only as a means of assisting them to employment, but also as a medium for obtaining information, and, generally speaking, for taking them by the hand, so to speak, upon their arrival in a new country. I have, &c, H. R. Morrison, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Officer in Charge.

MASTERTON. Sir, — : Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Masterton, Ist May, 1912. I have the honour to submit for your consideration the report on the work of this branch during the year ended 31st March, 1912. The women's branch in this district is now well established, and the facilities offered as a central agency for employment are being taken advantage of to a greater extent. As has been the case in previous years, there has not been a sufficient number of women and girls applying or offering their services for domestic positions to in any way meet the demands of employers. The bureau is now in a position to find situations for women and girls follow-ing any occupations besides domestic service, such as tailoresses, milliners, typistes, &c.; and in any case, all possible advice and assistance are given to workers. During the period 81 applications were received from employers for domestic helps and other assistants, and the w-ages offered have ranged from ss. to £1 ss. per week; 50 applications were received from employees, of whom 32 were suitably placed in situations. I have, &c, H. R. Hodge, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington, Officer in Charge.

WELLINGTON. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Wellington, 18th April, 1912. I beg to report on the work of the above branch during the year just completed. There has been an increase in the number of persons assisted during the year under reviewas compared with 1910-11. In the latter period 595 were assisted, whilst in 1911-12 the total reached 636, an increase of 41. During the four years this branch has been established the total number of persons assisted from year to year is as follows : 1908-9 (nine months), 630; 1909-10, 748; 1910-11, 595; 1011-12, 636: total, 2,609. Of this total, 795 were married and 1,814 single women. Although the results show that there has been a slight increase over the previous year, it will be noted that the total for 1909-10 still stands as a record, and if there is no change in policy in the conduct of the work of the office I feel sure that it is exceedingly unlikely that the numbers dealt with by the Department will exceed the 1909-10 returns —at all events, for some years to come. This branch's functions are now well known to the public, and almost every girl in domestic service in the city and district is aware that the office has engagements offering at all times, and that every assistance will be given her without any cost whatsoever. The applications from employers for domestics steadily increase from year to year; during the last twelve months there were from 200 to 250 vacancies available each month for women workers, w-hilst the number of applicants averaged 61 each month, or, in other words, there were four positions open for each applicant. I have so often stressed the hardships inflicted upon many households, and the great social dangers involved by the lack of competent labour, that I feel it to be hardly necessary to emphasize it again. The figures quoted in this report speak for themselves, but if the w-orkers were available at reasonable remuneration the demand for their services would be quadrupled. Those employers able to pay £1 and more per week are meeting with some measure of success; those with limited incomes and able to pay only from 10s. to 15s. per week have, perforce, to go without help. It is in these latter homes — the homes of our "middle-class" folk — that the assistance of a general hand is in most urgent need. As far as I can see, remedial measures cannot come from within the Dominion itself, as the workers are not available, and the younger girls are not being specially trained for domestic service. The immigrants are not coming in sufficient numbers to make any appreciable difference in the demand, and employment in factory, shop, and office seems to have greater attractions for both them and the local girls, owing to the hours, wages, and holidays being defined. The tendency to employ " day-workers " is increasing, and fairly regular employment is found by the Department for many mothers supporting families and for widows. In face of the fact that servants cannot be secured, householders find it both economical and convenient to engage a woman to do the heavier household work, the practice being to devote one day to washing clothes and another for general house-cleaning. Some of the Department's applicants have already obtained regular w-ork in this w-ay for from three to five days per week. The Department assists from 20 to 50 charwomen monthly, whilst the applications from employers for such workers range from 30 to 60. The pay for such work is from ss. to 6s. per day, with meals. During the year the oversea vessels have been regularly met, and all information and advice have been given to women and girls arriving in the Dominion. In addition to the offers to find work for those in need of it, I have at times rendered other assistance in helping wives and children to reach their husbands, who had come to the Dominion by previous vessels, and in many other ways have tried to make the women passengers feel that the Department is desirous of giving them real assistance. I have, Ac, E. R. Bremner, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Officer in Charge.

NELSON. Sir, — Department of Labour fWomen's Branch), Nelson, 24th April. 1912. I have the honour to submit mv report on the working of this branch of the Department for the year ending the 31st March, 1912. The difficulty of obtaining women workers has in no w-ay diminished during the year. The occupations for women workers are perhaps more varied in this district than in any other part of the Dominion. Outside the various trades and domestic work. large numbers of w-orkers find employment at pea, fruit, and hop picking. This class of w-ork is healthy, not arduous, and very remunerative. Domestic work : Girls evince more and more a strong prejudice against domestic work as a means of livelihood, not so much because of a dislike to domestic work as on account of its being regarded as of lower social status than work in other occupations, and the indefiniteness as to duties and hours. A number of inouiries has been made during the year as to the necessary procedure to obtain girls from Great Britain. Dressmaking and tailoring : These trades are much hampered owing to the scarcity of women workers. Employers complain that the scarcity encourages incompetency, as girls can so easily find employment that the ambition to be thorough is lacking. Fruit-preserving and biscuit and confectionery trades : Employers in these trades have continually to curtail orders on account of the shortage of women workers. In this direction there is no improvement on last year. Four hundred and thirty-five applications have been received from employers for assistants, and 103 from w-orkers seeking employment. Of the latter, 90 were placed in suitable employment. I have, Ac. M. Emerson. The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Officer in Charge.

OHRISTCHURCH. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Ohristchurch, 12th April, 1912. I have the honour to report on the business done for the year ended 31st March, 1912. The branch is now firmly established, and the business done appears to have given entire satisfaction to employers and employees, the only difficulty still being the great dearth of domestic w-orkers. I pointed out last year the great hardship this lack of help imposed on all classes of mistresses, especially the working farmers' wives with families, and men coming into meals. It is impossible to exaggerate the condition of these mothers. They are being completely worn out with the burden of work they are called upon to perform, added to the worry and anxiety of rearing their families, and without help of any kind. These people offer good homes and fair wages to respectable, willing girls. Wages would be 15s. to 17s. 6d., and girls in these homes are generally treated as one of the family. We have the same difficulty in town; the cry is always "No girls to be had." Of course, I am referring to generals. There are a few girls seeking employment (about a fifth of the number required), but they mostly w-ant the lighter class of domestic work, such as that of companion-help, housemaid, Ac. In fact, these girls very often do not want work at all. In tow-n the hardship is not felt quite so acutely, as the laundry can be sent out, and a woman can sometimes be had by the day, but, nevertheless, it is a very real difficulty in both town and country. It has been said that if girls were better treated by mistresses, a.nd wages and conditions better, more girls would take domestic employment. Experience does not seem to bear this out, as higher wages are paid than formerly, and the conditions are mostly excellent, otherwise the girls will not stay in their positions—they know if they leave a place there are plenty of others waiting for them. Mistresses as w-ell as girls have to be well recommended nowadays. Wages range from 12s. 6d. to £1, for generals; £1 to £1 10s. for cooks (private); housemaids, 15s. to £1; laundresses, £1 to £1 55., or ss. a day in laundries; girls to assist, Bs. to 125.; . and so on. Hotel workers obtain higher wages. Women workers are equally hard to obtain for factories, and employers are experiencing equal difficulty in securing enough hands to go on with their orders. Dressmakers also are very much in need of girls, and simply cannot obtain them. The laundries are exceedingly busy, and could do with many more hands. This is accounted for by the fact that many people who cannot get help send their work to the laundries. There have been a number of new arrivals during the last twelve, months, but not nearly as many as are required, there being only 117 of them. These w-orkers have expressed great satisfaction with the positions secured for them; also with the wages and general conditions. The following is a summary of the business done in this office for the last twelve months :— Applications from Employers.

It will be seen from the above table that, as was the case last year, and also in 1910, the number of employers is steadily increasing, while the number of workers is decreasing. In 1910 the number of applications from employers was 2,567; in 1911 the number was 2,970; and for 1912 we have 3,144. Of course, in 1910 the branch had not been very long established, and was not as well known as it is now; still I believe the number is increasing owing to the increase of population and increase in demand for workers. The number of workers suited for the last twelve months is 548. In 1910 our table showed 961, and in 1911 the number was 784. The numbers 548 and 784 show the individual number of workers suited in 1911 and 1912, but many of these girls have been suited more than once in the year, whereas in 1910 we took credit for each engagement. The fall in numbers, as I pointed out last year, is to be accounted for by the fact that girls marry, or go into other situations, and there are not enough coming forward to take their places. I calculate that a woman worker takes employment for only four or five years, when, as a rule, she marries, and consequently is off the market as a worker. The summary will show the pressing need there is for all classes of women workers, and no woman need be idle who really wants w-ork. I have, Ac, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. J. Mitchell, Officer in Charge.

DUNEDIN. Sir, — Department of Labour (Women's Branch), Dunedin, 16th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit my annual report on this branch of the Department for the year ended 31st March, 1912. During the period under review 1,456 applications have been registered — viz., 1,121 from employers and 335 from workers, of whom 283 were placed in employment. In addition to this, 30 persons who had been previously assisted were found employment. Compared with last year, I regret to have to record a decrease in the number assisted; this is not so surprising when it is taken into account that the difficulty in securing domestic workers grows more acute from day to day. Neither have we the advantage of immigrant boats calling at this port with domestic workers aboard. One of the difficulties encountered in placing w-orkers is the aversion most of them have to going where there are young children, and it is the mothers with young children who are most in need of help, particularly in the country districts, where temporary assistance is unobtainable. Others, again, object to undertake cooking and washing. Some of the applicants applying for work were not so competent and active as one could wish, and the need for capable, clean, conscientious w-orkers is very pressing indeed. Something may be said on the other side, but suffice it to say that if employers would treat their maids with a little more courtesy and extend to them their right to be called " Miss " like the shop-assistant or lady clerk, a better feeling would prevail, and the dignity of the domestic w-orker would receive an uplift. This is a vexed question amongst this particular class of worker, especially with the elder ones, w-ho retaliate by advising their sisters and friends not to follow the occupation of a domestic worker. In proportion as the conditions of employment have changed and improved in other occupations of women workers, so must those of the domestic worker if they are to attract and encourage young women to engage in the work. In addition to work in domestic service, there is employment offering for a large number of women workers in outside callings, including clothing, boot, and bookbinding factories. The following is a classified summary of the applications received and the vacancies filled :—

REPORTS FROM CONCILIATION COMMISSIONERS.

AUCKLAND. Report op Conciliation Commissioner for the Northern and Taranaki Industrial Districts for the Year ending 31st March, 1912. Sir, — Commissioner's Office, Council of Conciliation, Auckland, 11th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit, for the Hon. the Minister's information, my report on 29 disputes dealt with in my district, which have been disposed of as follows: Fully settled, 17; partially settled, 7; referred to Court of Arbitration, 5 : total, 29. In regard to the Auckland country hotels and Auckland Cooks and Stewards, recorded as partially settled, the only point left for the Court to decide was that of preference, which is opposed by the employers in all,new awards and in awards where it has not previously existed. Four disputes were settled amicably without the aid of assessors, and the remaining 25 disputes were dealt with by Councils of Conciliation. I am glad to say that in nearly all the disputes coming before me during the past year an earnest desire has been shown by both employers and workers to settle their differences in a constitutional way by means of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act, which affords protection to employers and workers alike. The proceedings of the Councils have been invariably characterized by the utmost good feeling on the part of all concerned, and, although some of the cases have been of a somew-hat complicated nature, and the points raised strenuously contested by both sides, no unpleasant friction has arisen. The experience gained by me during the past three years will enable me to report later on in relation to certain weak points which, in my opinion, are detrimental to the smooth working of the Act. In conclusion, I desire to thank the officers of the Department of Labour for the cordial assistance rendered to me at all times. Disputes fully settled.

WELLINGTON. Report op Conciliation Commissioner for the Wellington, Marlborough, Nelson, and Westland Districts for the Year ending 31st March, 1912. Office of the Commissioner of Conciliation, Sm,— Wellington, 25th April, 1912. I have the honour to submit, for the Hon. the Minister's information, the following report in respect to the settlement of disputes dealt with in the above-mentioned industrial districts during the year ending 31st March, 1912. In the period under review 54 industrial matters received consideration. Of this number, 45 were fully settled; in 8 partial agreements were arranged; and in 1 the whole dispute was referred to the Court. The following is a list of the cases disposed of : — Merchant Service Guild, No. 1. Merchant Service Guild, No. 2. Wellington Engine-drivers. Wanganui Butchers. Masterton Engine-drivers. Wellington Tramways. Napier Engine-drivers. Wellington Electrical Workers. Palmerston North Engine-drivers. Wellington Woollen-mills. Wanganui Engine-drivers. Nelson Carpenters. Napier Carpenters.

Palmerston Hotel Employees. Wanganui Bookbinders and Paper-rulers. Wanganui Hotel Employees. Wellington Cooks and Stewards (Levin and New Plymouth Waterside Workers. Co.'s workers). In addition to the foregoing list of ordinary cases heard in accordance with the provisions of the Act, a number of other industrial disputes received my attention, all of which, with one exception (Typographical case), were adjusted to the satisfaction of the parties. The following is a list of the industries in this class :— 1 New Zealand Typographical Conference. Wellington Meat-workers' strike. Wellington Tramways strike. New Zealand Section Australasian Federated Manawatu Flax-mill Workers' dispute. Seamen Conference. In giving consideration to the amount of business dealt with by means of. conciliatory measures and the results obtained during the year, and especially when the nature of some of the disputes is not overlooked, it may be fairly assumed that this method of arranging industrial troubles must be satisfactory to all concerned, and in particular to those persons directly interested—viz., the employers and wage-earners. Notwithstanding the many long and arduous conferences held during the year, the feeling between employers and workers has, with one exception, been of a pleasant nature. The exception referred to had reference to the attendance of an agent during the hearing of a dispute before a Council of Conciliation, and in this connection, and in order to prevent future trouble of a similar character, I would respectfully suggest that the Act should be amended in the following direction : " That no person other than those who are substantially employed or engaged in the industry in dispute should be permitted to take part in any proceedings during the hearing of such disputes before a Council of Conciliation." Other matters which I would respectfully submit for your consideration in connection with the Act, w-ith a view to improving its efficiency, are as follows : — (1.) That the Court should have power to make awards for a longer period than three years (the present limit). (2.) That assessors on Conciliation Councils should be nominated from those persons who are eligible as at present, but who should reside within the district in which it is sought to make the award or agreement operate. (3.) That the fixing of a specific number of workers in an industry in order to obtain registration of a union should be abolished; and, in lieu thereof, " That the union should, prior to application for registration, have within its ranks a reasonable number of those persons working at the particular trade or industry —say, 33J per cent.—within the industrial district, with a minimum of fifteen members.

LXXVIII

H.—ll.

(4.) That the words " or industries " in section 5, Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1908, should be struck out. The inclusion of these words enables a union of workers to be formed and registered, and it may contain within its ranks only fifteen persons employed in fifteen distinct industries having no affinity to one another, and thus prevent subsequent action being successfully taken towards forming a separate union in any one of the industries embraced in the original union's registration. (5.) In order that no person carrying on business when an award comes into operation should be exempt from its effects, the provisions of the Act as at present should apply as to the method of citing probable parties. In addition to the foregoing provision, and so that no persons carrying on business should have the opportunity of being exempt owing to their citation having been overlooked, a public notification as to the dispute, its nature, the time and place of hearing, Ac, should be inserted in the newspapers circulating within the district in which it is suggested the award or agreement should operate. A notification of this description should be deemed to be a sufficient service to the few persons who had been overlooked by direct citation. In submitting these suggestions for your consideration I feel confident that their adoption would tend to improve the present Act in the directions indicated. I have, Ac, P. Hally, The Secretary of Labour, Wellington. Commissioner of Conciliation.

ACCIDENTS IN FACTORIES IN NEW ZEALAND. Diagram showing Accidents in Factories for the Years ending 31st March, 1903 to 1912.

APPENDIX TO REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR, 1912.

The purpose of the following tables is to give more comprehensive information than that published in previous years relative to the various manufacturing industries carried on in New Zealand throughout the year, as to —(1) The actual number of persons employed in each trade ; (2) their average duration of employment; (3) their average weekly rate of wages for a normal week (without overtime or loss of time) ; (4) their average weekly earnings in each trade during the period of employment; and (5) their average weekly earnings in each trade throughout the year. Hitherto the tables published by the Department, from its inception in 1891, have comprised merely the number of persons employed at a given date of each year—viz., at the time of the annual registration of factories —with the rates at which they were then employed. As many trades fluctuate considerably during the year, these figures cannot be regarded as giving satisfactory information on the subject. Moreover, for want of better data, the only means by which the approximate average earnings of the various employees could be ascertained was by dividing the total wages shown in the returns as having been paid during the year to all employees (male and female) by the total number employed at registration time. The system was also found defective in other respects, for the reason, for example, that in many cases factory-occupiers included, in the total wages paid during the year, the wages of employees other than those specified in the returns as employed at registration time, such as clerks, drivers, and so on, most of whom were not factory employees ; and where employees, engaged in different trades, were employed in one factory it was exceedingly difficult to ascertain precisely the amount of wages paid in each trade. For the first time it has been possible to show the average earnings in sexes and at different ages. The experience of the Department in the collection and publication of industrial tables has shown that it is inadvisable to ask factory-occupiers to compute the information desired in. regard to their respective factories, for the reason that they have, naturally enough, different ideas as to the manner in which the information should be computed ; such a method must inevitably open the door to all kinds of error. In order to ensure accuracy it was decided that the whole of the computation be carried out by the Department, the factory-occupiers merely furnishing the information in detail for the purpose. The collection and compilation of these statistics would, if carried out annually, necessarily involve more labour and expense than the previous method, but as it is proposed to make the system a five-yearly (simultaneous with the taking of the census) instead of an annual one, the amount of labour and expense entailed will eventually be less, while the information published will be of much greater value. Coming to the tables, the following explanatory notes are made : — Of Tables I, 11, and 111, the first (Table I) is now given, showing, as for each of the principal cities and the various districts,* the highest number of hands employed at any one time during the year in each trade, their duration of employment in that city or district, with particulars as to their earnings. In respect to the item " Average duration of employment " (column 3), it should be noted that for the purpose of arriving at this information it has been assumed that when there were occasional and short breaks in employment—generally not exceeding at any one time seven days —due to the fluctuation of the trade, to irregular attendance, to sickness, or other cause, he was not likely to have obtained other employment, and such periods have therefore been included in his " duration of employment " —viz., the period during which his total wages are earned ; for example, a worker may have performed but forty weeks' work during the year, but owing to occasional breaks it may have taken him forty-five weeks to earn the forty weeks' wages; in the tables the total wages thus earned have therefore been divided by forty-five instead of by forty, in order to arrive at the average earnings throughout the " duration of employment " (see column 7). The irregular attendance of female workers for reasons other than sickness has been the cause of frequent complaint by employers. It may be assumed that the average earnings of females as shown in column 7 would generally have been higher had they attended more regularly to their employment. In any case where an employee worked in more than one factory, although his employment was shown in the return from each factory, he has been counted as one employee only in these tables —viz., at the time when the greatest number were employed. In many cases workers were employed in more than one city or district during the year, and in order to ascertain the actual duration of employment in the trade generally throughout New Zealand, with the average earnings throughout that period, it will therefore be necessary to refer to Tables II and 111, which will be issued shortly and attached to the next Annual Eeport. For example, while in each of four districts there might have been 100 persons employed in a given trade for an average of 40 weeks, earning 50s. per week throughout that period, the result for the whole would be, say, 350 persons employed (not 400) for 45 weeks, and earning 50s. 9|d. per. week throughout that period. In Tables II and 111 the number of persons employed in each trade during each month of the year will also be printed, showing the fluctuations throughout the different months. Taking the meat-slaughtering industry as being probably the most fluctuating of all trades, the following results have been ascertained : The highest number employed in Wellington City was in January, 157 ; Christchurch, April, 195 ; Auckland District, February, 106 ; Hawke's Bay, December, 157 ; Canterbury (country), May, 314 ; and so on. Placing the returns for the various districts of New Zealand together, it has been ascertained that the number employed throughout New Zealand varied from 162 in September, 1910, to 1,155 in March, 1911. Therefore 1,155 has been taken as the actual number of employees; their average duration of employment was 33T2 weeks ; and the average earnings throughout that period was 645. 2|d., and for the whole year 40s. lid. per week. In respect to the average earnings in this industry, however, it should be explained that the 33T2 weeks " duration of employment " includes a number of occasions when the slaughtermen were employed for only an hour or two per day; so that, while during the main portion of the period the earnings averaged up to £7 per week, the actual average earnings throughout the whole period was 645. 2|d.

* It will be noted that the tables are compiled as for the several provincial districts in lieu of, as previously, for the industrial districts. This alteration was made in order to bring the figures into line in this respect with the industrial tables published by the Government Statistician.

In respect to column 6 : This column shows, so far as possible, the ordinary rate of wages earned per full week without overtime and without loss of time. In a number of cases the information supplied in the returns was not very satisfactory, and in other cases—for example, where the workers were employed on piecework—it was impossible to fill in the item. In the following table (No. I) the letters (a), (b), (c), and (d), where inserted, indicate as follow : — (a.) That the number employed increased during the year, so that while the employees referred to were evidently busy, with increasing employment towards the end of the year, and would therefore be expected to show full employment and high average earnings, the actual duration of employment and the average earnings taken throughout the year, as shown in the tables, were low. In these cases column 8 is therefore not filled in. (&.) That the number employed has decreased during the year. Where this is so in the case of a single agegroup and not in the whole trade the decrease is evidently accidental; while, where it applies to a whole trade, it would appear that a decline generally has taken place in the employment, (c.) That the employment has fluctuated considerably, with periods of slackness and activity, chiefly according to the seasons of the year. The meat-freezing and fruit-preserving trades are examples. (d.) That the industry has, as a whole, employed a steadily increasing number of employees. The wages paid to casual hands, and referred to in the footnotes to the various trades, is the total amount paid in wages to all employees who worked in any factory for a shorter period than four weeks during the year. In some cases the employees to whom these amounts were paid were, no doubt, the same employees as are included in the tables, and a slight increase in columns 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 might therefore have been made. As no definite information on the subject was obtainable, and the amounts were small, no increase has been included.
