The Factory, Shop and Office Building Act is a amended by regulat ing the use of an elevator or hoist constructed on the principle of an endless belt by preventing the use of such contrivances for the carry+, ing of passengers unless they are properly equipped with a brake or other device for stopping. Numerous accidents in 'manufacturing es- tablishments where these contrivances Have been in use have shown the necessity for this legislation. It is made clear that what is known as the "early closing' by-law" passed under Part II of the Act is not to apply to the sale of fruit. A new departure in.,legislation is made in The Minimum Wage Act, which is intended to provide for a commission to determine a minmum wage for female employees in any particular branch of business. The establishment of a provincial board is provided for and the board is authorized to conduct such investigations as it may deem necessary or to provide fora conference between representatives of employers and employees. The board may act on the report of the conference or may on its own motionestablish a minimum wage for the class of em ployment in question. Heavy penalties are provided for disobedience to the orders of the board and the only exception to the operation of the act is in the case of farm laborers and domestic servents. An attempt was made to provivde for one day off in each week for firemen. This matter, is not free from difficulty where what is known as the "double Platoolp system" is in operation, and in that case the. Act provides that the twenty-four hours release at the change of the platoon is not to be regarded as a day off duty for the purpose of the Act. ,SQC LE wTI.9N.--The, Deserted Wives' Maintenance Act which allows for: a weekly allowance to'lie pai3 byl tFie busba'nti to the wife 'under order made by - the magistrate on suml]aary'applicat-, �on•,is amendedY .b increasing the amount from $40to" �2e p er•week. r ,.
