Mr. Healy.] Mr. Tuck, you state here that cheap foodstuffs in the department stores and cutprice shops are manufactured by one-man premises. What do you mean by that ? —A man who is dismissed from a position, or is put off on account of financial difficulty on the part of his employer. He immediately starts manufacturing some line, foodstuffs or otherwise, and he works all the hours that there are. He then sells the line in competition with his late employer, who complies with all the regulations of the various Government Departments. Is a man like that able to insure all his equipment and so on ? —No. Most of his work is done at night. They are only small lines, I should say ?—'Comparatively speaking, there are quite a large number of these men, and it is injurious that some of the department stores specialize in going to men like that for their supplies of confectionery and other lines, which are fairly easily put up by a man and his family. How many shops do you control ?—Six shops.
