COST OF LIVING IN AUSTRALIA. EFFECT ON INDUSTRY.

Mr. Napier Thomson, president of the Metal Trades Emplorers' Association, in a statement recently, pointed out that the Commonwealth Statistician's figures for December, 1925, disclosed a condition of afinirs that was very serious for New South Wales, as compared with other States of the Commonwealth. The cost living in Sydney had increased 27 points, whilst in Melbourne it had decreased 2 pointa. Adelaide showed a decrease of 11 points.

The Federal awards of the engineer. ing and allied trades," said Mr. Thom- son, are adjusted quarterly on these figures, and it will mean that for the next three months the rates in Sydney will be increased by 1a weck, while the Adelaide rates will be decreased 1 a week, and Melbourne rater remain the same. Thus, the Sydney rates are 9/a week higher than Melbourne, and 4/0 A week higher than Adelaide, basic rates being:-Sydney, 24/9/6, Melbourne, 24/7/6; Adelaide, £4/5/. The. high rates in Sydney coupled with the 44-hour week are already giving manu distinct ad- facturers in other States vantage, and a further opportunity to exploit New South Wales trade,

the

It must be remembered that the above. increase in the cost of living has taken place independently of the 44-hour week, and everybody knows that a further sub- stantial increase is taking place at the present time, due to the 44-hour week, This will reflect itself again in a few months' time, and increase the disparity between the basic rates in Sydney and. the other capitals, thus making it con- tinuously harder for New South Wales' employers to give employment."
