WELLINGTON,

:12:
(CP)
New

has
bid
for
prosperity
with
a
plan
for
maximum
hours,
minimum
wages,
com
pulsory
collective
bargaining
ana
i-igid
conditions
of
labor.
Such
social
reform
measures
here
are
not
new;
the
first
step
along
that
line
was
taken
moro
han
44
years
ago
wish
an
lnvestl-jatton
into
sweat-shop
conditions.
The
capstcne
of
the
work
was
considered
by
many
to
be.
the
re-:ent
decision
of
the
New
Zealand
arbitration
court
establishing
minimum
wages
of
3
163
($19)
for
men
and
1
16s
($9)
for
women
a
40-hour
week.
The
first:
Industrial
Conciliation
and
Arbitration
Act
was
passed
lanuary
1,
1895,
and
the
present
aw
of
the
same
name
was
en
acted
In
1925
with
the
wage
pro;
vision
set
by
the
arbitration
court
under
an
amendment
passed
June
1936.
In
lixlng
the
wage
the
court
was
empowered
by
law
,
to
take
under
constderatlon"
"the
general
economic
and
financial
conditions
then
affecting
trade
and
industry
in
New
Zealand,
the
cost
of
living
and
any
fluctuations
in
the
cost
of
living."
It
was
added:
'The
basic
rate
of
wages
for
adult
male
workers
fixed
under
the
authority
of
this
ectlon
shall
be
such
a
rate
as
vould,
in
the
opinion
of
the
court,
be
sufficient
to
enable
a
'
nan
to
maintain
a
wife
and
three
children
in
a
fair
and
reason-
ible
standard
of
comfort."
i
Unionizing
Workers
Other
sections

;
vide
for

of

I
'.n
some
cases

izatlon,
and
sets
up
a
system
for
'he
arbitration
of
industrial
disputes.
In
reducing
hours
to
40
a
week
he
court
was
asked
to
increase
hourly
or
piece-work
wage3
so
the
f.otal
pay
envelope
of
the
im-x
ployee
would
be
Just
as
largeaf?
under
the
longer
work
week.
SaT
attempt
was
made
to
limit,
so
far
as
possible,
work
cn
Saturdays:
ra
in
the
long
and
bitter
debate
over
the
bill,
one
member
of-
parliament
in
defending
higher
wages
declared:
"As
the
volume
of
produ:tlon
Increases
so
must
the
spending
power
of
the
people
to
purchase
and
consume
goods."
Ono
member
asked:
"Must
the
peoplfe
of
New
Zealand
go
hungry
for
no
other
reason
than
that
there
Is
too
much
for
.them
to
eat?"
Manufacturers
contended
higher
wages
and
shorter
hours
would
increase
costs
so
much
that
prices
would
be
forced
up,
thereby
lowering
the
purchasing
power
of
thc-
wcrkers'
Wages.
Members
of
parliament
frpnx
farming
communities
pleaded
that
farmers
could
not
meet
additional
costs.
Said
a
member;
"Thn
farming
community
can
pass
none
of
these
costs
on
In
spite
of
what
has
been,
said
to
the
contr&ry
over
and
over
again
In
this
Hous?.
We
know-
that
world
parity
fixes
,our
prices
aosolutely.
Let
prices
rise
in
this
country
above
that
parity
.and
Ahe
market
Is
glutted
with,
primary
produce
wltheld
from
export
and
awaiting
sale;"
But
the
law
was
passed,
and
both
those
who
were
for
and
against
it
sat
back
and
awaited'
the
economic
result
of
their
planning.
