ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this twentieth
day of August, 1914.

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section twenty-five of the Regulation of
Trade and Commerce Act, 1914, it is provided that
at any time while His Majesty is at war with any foreign
Prince or State the Governor may from time to time by
Order in Council, if satisfied that such a course is necessary
in the public interest, modify or suspend wholly or partially,
and subject to such conditions as he thinks fit, all or any of
the provisions of any industrial award or industrial agreement
under the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1908,
and its amendments, and all or any of the provisions of the
Shops and Offices Act, 1908, and the Factories Act, 1908,
and their amendments:

And whereas the Governor is satisfied that it is necessary
in the public interest to suspend certain of the above-recited
provisions, subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authorities conferred upon him by section twenty-
five of the Regulation of Trade and Commerce Act, 1914,
and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that
behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of that Dominion, doth hereby suspend
those provisions of the Shops and Offices Act, 1908, and the
Factories Act, 1908, and their amendments, and of any
award or industrial agreement under the Industrial Con-
ciliation and Arbitration Act, 1908, and its amendments,
which prohibit the employment of workers, shop-assistants,
or office assistants on holidays or half-holidays, or after or
beyond the hours of employment specified therein (whether
ordinary time or overtime) or after the closing-hours for
offices; provided that such suspension shall be subject to
the following conditions:—

(1.) In the case of all females employed in factories, shops,
and offices, and in all cases where the consent of an Inspector
of Factories is ordinarily required under any of those pro-
visions to enable extended hours to be worked, the suspension
shall have effect only if the consent of an Inspector of Fac-
tories has been obtained for the working of any additional
extended hours under the authority of this Order in Council,
and such consent shall not be granted unless the Inspector
is satisfied that the extension of hours is rendered necessary
by a demand for goods or supplies which are urgently re-
quired in consequence of the war; and also, in giving or
withholding his consent, the Inspector shall have regard to
the health of the workers concerned.

(2.) All extended hours, including those worked on holidays
and half-holidays, worked under the authority of this Order
in Council, shall be paid for at the rate for extended hours
specified in the Act, or award, or industrial agreement ap-
plicable thereto, not being less than at the rate of time and
a quarter, or, if a rate for extended hours is not specified
therein, then at the rate of time and a quarter, otherwise
the aforesaid suspension shall not have effect.
