HIGHER WAGES.
FURTHER DEMANDS FEARED. CONTROL OF~INDUSTRY. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Aug. 2. A prediction that further demands for wage increases to meet the rise in living costs are likely in the coming year is contained in the annual report of the Auckland Provincial Employers’ Association. It is also stated "that an attempt to bring all industry more or less under bureaucratic control is possible. “The past year has been an exceptionally harassing one through the confusion arising from the hasty industrial legislation of 1936,” states the report. “Many employers have been faced with unexpected heavy payments for back wages and there has been dissatisfaction among workers, also strikes and unrest, for which the past year holds an unenviable record. This year employers are likely to be faced with exceptional difficulties. . There are many knotty industrial problems to be solved before the present tangle ca’n be unravelled.”
