Pemits of exemp 62 tion will be issued to enable workers who are infirm or physically injured to obtain work at 42 less than minimum rates . 50 44 Officers to be appointed to investigate com- 47 plaints and enforce payment of the minimur rates , says the Board of Agriculture , will have 44 power to examine wages sheets , and refusal to 35 give information will render an employer lia- 31 . ble to a penalty .

The Wages Board will have power to take proceedings on a worker's behalf . MARKETS . CATTLE . Hereford , Wednesday . - Supplies were in ex- lower of demand , and , consequently , prices ruled .
