New Zealand Labor. Legislation.

An interesting summary Of indus
trial legislation passed by the New
Zealand parliament in its last session
of 1918 has been supplied officially
by an officer of the labor department
to the Auckland Weekly News.
The arbitration court has been given
power. on the application of any party
TO an existing award or Industrial
agreement to amend that award or
agreement with regard to wages and
hours, on account Of the cost of living
having increased, or on account OF
any other change in the working con-
litions. It has also been given juris-
diction to continue any war bonus
prescribed in an award or industrial
agreement. either wholly or partially,
and for any term that ii thinks fit.
Returned soldiers, who were appren-
tees working under awards and agree
ments. have been given the option of
continuing their apprenticeship from
the point at which they laid them
down to enlist. or of taking up the
apprenticeship again as though the
apprenticeship had been continued
while they were on active service.

One of Them Is the Inevitable IN
creased Pressure on Wages, Already
Hcre-DifficuIties in the Way OF
Proper Organization of Women.

In spite of the popular belief 10 the
contrary, war has not brought indus
trial advantages TO women workers in
this country: instead, it has brought
new problems and dangers. IeIipo-
rary high wages in war industries nave
ceased; women discharged from NUM-
ton and gas mask factories, where
they earned $50 or so a week, are re-
Iuctantly taking positions at $40 or
S12, if. indeed, they are reinstated IN
their old places at ALL In ordinary
peacetime occupations, such as laundry
work and paper box making. wages
have risen little, despite the increase
in the cost of living. With the men re-
turning from the army, female labor Is
hound to flow back increasingly into
those old occupations, thus putting in
creased pressure on wages, declares
Nation.
The employer of women today is N
Il large proportion Of cases heavily sub
sdized; for there is a considerable
gap between the 50 week that is paid
to a girl and her actual cost of main
tenance. Who makes up the differ
ence? In the employers mind. 1T is
usually the girls family-which is
often mythical. One Baltimore EN-
pIoyer remarked naively to an investi-
gator: THAT is the beauty of our
Baltimore situation; they all live al
home and so can live much more cheap
~" Living at home. however. does
not necessarily mean that a girl re-
ceives financial aid; more often II
means that she gives ii. Where she Is
inadequately paid, it usually signifies
little more than that she has conf
panions in poverty.
The employers feeling toward the
woman employee as one who has NOT
emerged from the family group is I'M
fortunately shared in many cases by
the worker herself, and her feeling
hinders organization. OF course, there
have been instances i'll which women
have been effectively organized; i'll the
garment trades of New York. for ex-
ample $4,000 girls, after strike or
only two or three days, were granted a

ization of women workers has not at

may simply he the result of inexperi-

ers in effective methods of co-opera-

been effective in maintaining the
wages of special groups of men has
had little influence on the pay OF
women.

Big MILL AND ELEVATOR
NEXT STATE INDUSTRIES

The next big public ownership step
of the North Dakota administration,
according to J. A. McGovern, manager
of the State Mill and Elevator associa-
ton, will be the erection of a -four min
with a capacity of 1900 barrels a day
and an elevator in connection with 1t
with a capacity Of 100000 bushels.
Mr.. McGovern hopes to begin construc-
ton of these gigantic state enterprises
in October or November this year.
In connection with these industries,
1t is the present plan to erect a large
cold storage warehouse for the hand
ling Of eggs, butter and other farm
products of a perishable nature. It is
believed that this important group Of
state industries will cost around ST.
100000.
The -four mill at Drake already pur-
chased by the state will be used largely
for experimental purposes to collect
data upon which to base the larger
enterprises. Twelve years of expert
ments with the state mill at the Agri-
cultural college has furnished much
data for the operation of the Drake
mill. Much of this data has to do with
the, commercial side of milling.
In the meantime it is the intention
| Of the Mill and Elevator association to
acqire for the state six or seven flour
mills Of a daily capacity around 500
barrels. These will be located at
points most serviceable for the people
and for the whole system of public
mills and elevators.

NOTED EXPERT FAvORS
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Another blow was struck against the
private ownership of public utilities
when Delos F. Wilcox, New York
franchise expert, told the federal cleo,
trical railroad commission last week
that private street railway systems In
the United States have broken down
and that municipal ownership Is the
only solution Of the American street
railway problem.
Drawing from an experience with
trolley matters running back over
many years, Mr.. Wilcox stated that
street railways should yield a fixed re-
turn and should not be based on
speculation; that service instead Of
profit should be the governing motive
behind street railways; that strikes
should be avoided by affording full
protection to the workers, and that
the operatives should be organized and
should be given a share in the man.

as a public function"

recently by the public utilities ON

making the state loan he will be able
to pay in full for his farm, and cut
his interest charges, besides spreading
his payments over a 3e-year period 50
that they can be made out of his profits

STATE BANK HAS
LARGE BUSINESS
Bond Sale Nearly $4,000
Clearance ST 600, 600 in
One Day.

The Bank of North Dakota Is al
ready an established success. The
rush Of business is such that many Of
the clerks are working night and day.
Two hundred and fifty banks Of the
state have opened accounts with the
Bank Of North Dakota. In one day
%clearances totaled 81, 100000. This Is a
service that formerly was performed
by the banks in Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Chicago.
Sales Of bank bonds are mounting
toward the half million dollar mark.
The bonds are now being mailed out to
subscribers. They sell at IA per cent
above par and draw 5 per cent in
terest.
L Farm loans sare being made as
quickly as the land can be evaluated.
The amortization plan Of extending the
payment over 80 years with interest at
6 per cent on the diminishing principal
appears to be- answering a real de-
mand.
IF the farm loans run up fast, the
Bank of North Dakota will issue bonds
against them and thus obtain more
money to lend" said Director General
F. w. Cathro. "Or, if money conditions
become stringent, then we will issue
bonds to bring in more money and
take this action more quickly than
otherwise. If money remains, fairly
easy, we will let the loans accumulate
to a larger amount before it becomes
necessary to issue bonds against them"
Mr. Cathro showed two loans that
had just been made by the rural cred
its department, one for $12,5OO and the
other for $4,000. The larger loan, he
| showed from the description, was the
more valuable. The reasons he gave
indicate the standards of the bank in
extending credit to farmers to be based
on the soundest business principles,
The man asking the smaller loan had
only a few dairy cattle, the. income
from which was not sufficient to make
his payments on the sum borrowed,
He raised wheat, chiefly, and although
his security was such that he got the
loan, Mr.. Cathro pointed out that to
depend entirely on a grain crop that
might fail was unwise. .
T. ION the $4,000 loan, the annual
payment on interest and principal will
be $685." said Mr.. Cathro. "This farm
has a good herd of dairy cattle anG

FARMCREDITl'LAW
IS IN OPERATION
Farmers Can Settle Loans BY
Paying Moderate interest
For Number Of Years.

How would you like to get rid of
q debt BY merely paying a moderate
rate Of interest and having part Of this
interest applied to the loan until it
was paid? This is the North Dakota
plan Of rural credits at cost and it
was put into nctual operation, begin
ming with this week, through the Bank
Of North Dakota. From To- on all
citizens able to give land security can
borrow money, and Will not have to
worry about paying the principal back.
BY paying a rate interest lower than
what they have been paying in the
past, they wipe out the original loan.
Applications for almost two hundred
farm loans are now before the director
general, F. w. Cathr0. Transfer Of
public funds to the Bank of the Peo-
pie is now under way, and loans can
soon be issued. All applicants for
money under the amortization Of the
state bank r being sent the follow
ing letter of instruction, which sets
forth the details Of operation:
"Under the plan Of cheap rural
credits farm loans will be repaid over
a period Of 80 years. At the end of
this period, the entire loan will have
been extinguished.
Pay 7 Per Cent Yearly
"The installment rate is Z per cent,
This includes an interest rate Of G
per cent, and 1 per cent for costs OF
operation. Many q farmer is paying
more than z per cent to a private
company for a loan and then has his
principal to pay of. Under the state
plan, payment OF Z per cent a year or
the original principal will wipe out
the entire debt. The saving in inter
est arising from annual payments or
the principal will pay everything of.
