WORK AND WAGES.
[Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, March 27.
In his address to the Conciliation Board to-day, Mr Fenwick, speaking on behalf of the employers, pointed out that the linotype was a machine very suitable for women in the day time, and it was quite against the spirit of modern Liberalism to seek, as the Typographical Union was doing, to debar them from employment upon it. He was against female work at night, but by day there could be no objection, as the’ work was closely allied to typewriting. Later on Mr Fenwick pointed out that anyone could learn the machines, and they were admirably suited to lads from public schools, as well as young women.
