San Francisco, March 5.-New
Zealand is the workingman's para
disc.
The government encourages the
formation of labor organizations and
facilitates the settlement of indus
trial disputes. This has prevented in
dustrial trouble.
Shop legislation provides a mini
mum wage for women, with annual
increments, a 54-hour week, week
ly half-holiday and payment for over
time. A wage and time-book for in
spection is compulsory in all shops,
hotels and restaurants.
The New Zealand Factories Act is
the most complete labor law of any
country. 1t protects child labor with
personal safety devices and employ
ers' liability. Also overtime, pay for
holidays and stringent sanitary con-

Every employer can protect himself

Legislation secures the proper
housing for ranch hands and safety

Sentiment so crystalized Fri.
day as a result of the sensational

pretenses that a Statewide cru
SADIE against the inhuman and

That Fulton County alone, in brief
space of two months, should have 1872
hoggings. was fact that astounded
the general public which had labored
under the impression that the whip
ping of convicts, while permitted in
extreme cases of characterization,
was resorted to only rarely.

victs In two months in Fulton County

he is chairman, would make an i'm
