HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL 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,—
(a.) 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
(b.) All or any of the provisions of the Shops and Offices Act, 1908, and the Factories Act, 1908, and their amendments; and
(c.) All or any of the provisions of any other Act so far as such provisions take away or restrict the liberty of private contract in matters of trade, commerce, business, or employment:

And whereas by Order in Council under the said section dated the third day of December, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, and published in the Gazette of the fourth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, the provisions of all awards and industrial agreements prescribing the conditions of employment of under-rate workers and apprentices, and the provisions of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act and its amendments relating thereto, were suspended in so far as such provisions prevent or restrict the employment of any discharged soldier authorized in the manner prescribed by that Order in Council to be employed in the industry to which such award or industrial agreement relates:

And whereas it is expedient to revoke the said Order in Council, and to make other provisions in lieu thereof:

And whereas by section fifteen of the Repatriation Act, 1918, the Governor-General in Council is empowered to make regulations with respect to the grant of financial assistance to discharged soldiers under that Act:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on him as aforesaid, 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 revoke the Order in Council of the third day of December, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, aforesaid, and doth hereby make the regulations set forth in the Schedule hereto, and doth hereby suspend the provisions of all awards and industrial agreements prescribing the conditions of employment of under-rate workers and apprentices, and also the conditions of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1908, and its amendments, relating thereto, in so far as those provisions prevent or restrict the employment and training of discharged soldiers pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto; provided that all permits which, on the making of this Order are in force under the Order in Council hereby revoked, or any prior Order in Council, shall continue in force in all respects as if they had been granted under the corresponding provisions hereinafter in this Order in Council set forth.
