I here asked Mr.. Tregear to give me some
Idea OF wages in New Zealand. He handed
me a Government report from which I ave
deduced the following:
Farm hands with board get from s12 to
so per month. and without board from 81
to $1.75 per day, Shepherds receive from
$3.50 to $3.50 per year. anu shearers about
) cents per sheep. The yheep-shearers have
their union and regulate wages.

makers from 81 to g."
AS to common everyday Iaborers they get
from A.25 to s2.3 per day Of eight hours.
Engineers receive from 81 to g per day,
tatlors from s1.75 to $780, butchers from s.
to s per week. and compositors from so
to S5 per week.
In dry goods stores clerks ara paid from
$3.50 to $40 per week; grocery clerks receive
from $50 to SIS per week. and bakers about
the same. The wages vary in the different
Provinces Of New Zealand. the highest be-
ing paid in the gold fields.
The Government has a minimum wage for
certain classes. According to law. every
one who works in the factories must re-
cetve something. It is impossible to retain
an apprentice merely for the privilege of
learning a trade. Young people under 10
years Of age must be paid at least 81 per
week If they are girls and SIS q week II
they are boys. irrespective Of overtime. and
by the factory act the pay for overtime
cannot be less than IL cents an hour.

Forty-Efsht Hours . Week..
This conversation gives you some idea Of
work and wage in New Zealand. This is
the land Of the eight-hour day and the
weekly half holiday. So far as the men are
concerned. the laws do not fix the number
Of hours. but forty-eight working hours Is
the usual week Of the laboring man. and
every person has his weekly half holiday.
When there is no weekly arrangement the
On lasts for eight hours. and when men

1ths eight-hour day by working overtime. SO

only people who work longer are the men

There arc a few trades which necessarily

deprived Of the pleasures Of the ballroom

and some OF them are becoming really ex-
pert. There is a general belief among those
who have tasted Of the joys Of the sport
that. ere the Lenten period has ended, these
fair young novitiates will be so thoroughly
fascinated by the pleasures q fencing that
they will continue the practice.
In which event there will be a great out

1t was recently decided in a trouble be-
tween the employers and the shoemakers
Of Auckland that forty-eight hours must be
considered a full weeks work, and that no
shoemaker should be paid less than 20 cents
an hour. The Auckland butchers limit their
labor to sixty-one hours, but they take off
hours Of that time for meals. so that
the weeks work is forty-eight hours. The
wages Of the different classes OF butchers
are fixed by law. and the employer who
breaks the law win be fined not to exceed
$50.
I have before me some decisions Of the
Government boards Of Cancellation and ar
bitraton regulating such matters. In all Of
them tho union rules as to time are upheld
and an hour rate Of from Is to 90 per cent
higher than the regular wages is charged
for all overtime.
The Weekly Half Holiday.
The weekly half holiday Is compulsory.
The day is usually fixed by the local author
tiles, and the factory or merchant who keeps
his store open is fined for doing so. even IL
he dismisses his employees. II the merchant
keeps his clerks he is fined for that. I see
the record of a mar in Foxton, who en-
ployed two boys under IS years OF age on
Saturday afternoon q few months ago. He
was called Up by the court and heavily fined.
Another man employed a carter to work on
a half holiday. He paid about IS and costs.
The saloonists here have scratched the
country as with q fine tooth comb for pref
ty girls to act as barmaids. The law pro-
vfdes that every barmaid must nave her
half holiday once a week. or the saloonist
pays s25. 1t is the same with all classes OF
clerks. and It is the same in the factories
The question Of tho day on which the peo-
pie are to take their weekly vacation is
usually settled by the municipal authorities.
It Is fixed in January Of each year and con-
tinues from then. until some other day is
appointed. In some towns 1t is Tuesday, in
Wednesday,. In some Thursday, and
In many Saturday. Saturday Is the day
usually chosen for the factories. even though
