that we can have a half holiday Satur-

FORTY EIGHT HOURS A WEEK.
This conversation gives you some
idea Of work and wages In New Zea-
land. 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.
Where there Is no weekly arrangement
the day lasts for eight hours, and when
men are employed by the week they
piece out the elght-hour day by work.
Ing overtime, 80 as 10 give them only
four or five hours on Saturday or gotne

employees put in forty-eight hours q

this as their time and at present the

necessarily require some overtime, hut.
as rule, the unions equaIze this and
the law steps In and supports the UNI
ions In their rules.
II was recently decided In trouble
between the employers and the shoe
makers OF Auckland that forty.eight
hours must be considered full weeks
work and that no shoemaker should
be paid less than 20 cents an hour The

4 CHAT WITH THE SECRETARY
FOR LABOR,
II was TO ask some questions about
this and other labor matters that |
called the other day upon the Honora-
BILE Edward Tregear at the labor de-
partnent In Wellington. New Zealand
has q department Of labor which ranks
even with the other departments OF the
government II Is on the same basis as
the treasury department and agticul-
tural department, and the secretary for
labor has as much influence in New
Zealand rs a cabinet minister has In
the United States. The present head
Of the labor department Is Mr.. Tregear.
He has been secretary for labor for the
past decade, and has been one Of the
prime movers IN all Of New Zeaands
experiments for the benefit Of the la
boring men,
II was In his Office az the department
Of labor that met Mr.. Tregear. He Is
a slender, bright-eyed, intelligent look
Ing man about forty years OF age. He
is a good talker, especially on the sub
iects nearest his heart, namely, those
connected with the labor movements
During our conversation he told me
that he was at the bottom a social
list. and that he believed New Zealand's
efforts toward equallzing the rights OF
man to be the beginning Of develop
ment which would spread and which
would In time better the social condi-
ton OF mankind.
HOW THE wORKINGMAN con-
QUERED NEW ZEALAND.
I asked Secretary Tregear how the
labOring men had come TO get the up
per hand in New Zealand. He repied'
ut originated a strike which failed
IL was the last strike we had, and II
WAS more than seven years ago. AT that
time the unions controlled many
branches of trade and they were fairly
well united. Among others there was
a union which handled all freight at the
wharves, called the Maritime Union Il
was an old organization, with plenty Of
money In It's treasury, resulting from
assessments upon its members through
out period OF years As the funds in
creased, the old members decided that
all new unlonists should pay an initia-
ton fee somewhat proportlonate to the
share each would have in the assets OF
the treasury There were but few la
boring men who could do this, and the
consequence was that entrance to the
