LABOR

Me.boukne September 24

A Bill to amend the Factories Act has teen drafted, aud its provisions are based on the recommendations of the Factories Enquiry Board. It is proposed to prohibit Chinese working before 7.30 a.m. and after 5 p.m. on week days, and 2 p.m. on Satur days. Sunday work is to be totally prohibited. Stiingent provi sions are made against Chinese herding together in houses or factories, and the measme provides that all Chinese-manufactured goods shall bear the mark of the manufacturers. The clauses dealing with sweating are very comprehensive and specially pro hibit the making of apparel, boots and shoes for the trade outside of factories, except in cases where a permit is given owing to a person being pre vented by domestic duties or bodily infirmity froia working inside a factory. Sweating is at present con fined to three or four trades; for these the number of hours to be worked and the minimum rates of wages to be paid Slave been carefully fixed. Heavy penalties are provided for breaches of the regulations, and for a third offence the offenders are to be imprisoned ■without the option of a fine. Women and young persons are not allowed to ! work more than ten hours a day at the very most, whilst in shops the hours are limited to fifty-two hours per week, excepting on one day when they way work eleven and a half hours. With reference to a half holiday pro vision is made for closing all shops at the same time on one afternoon each week. All engines and boilers are brought tinder the supervision of the authorities, who are given very large 1] powers in dealing with the heal th,saf ety and condition of the worships.

Damsel was a prizetakcr at various shows in Otago and Southland. Polly was also the dam of the champion horse Hard Times, and was first at the Southland A. and P. Show as brood mare with foal at foot, while his sire Crown Prince is admittedly one of the best draught entires in the country. Lord Salisbury was never beaten in the Show ring, taking eight first prizes and seven Champion prizes in the colony, and seven first prizes in the Old Country, including Glasgow, Liverpool, and Edin burgh. Damsel took four first prizes, two Champions, and four Champion prizes for either sex.
