Loc.il men who have been outof work forsome time contend that they are thus deprived of a share of the work to which they have a prior claim . In reference to an advertisement from the Typographical Association, 41 compositors in the city have sent in their names as being out of employment, and there are others whose names have not yet been forwarded. Many of these men have been out of work for months. During the past four or five months the Association has given £60 in making allowances to these men. The ". Southland Times " reports that a most successful effort, so far as preliminary organisation is concerned, has been made to establish technical classes in Inveroargill. It is not a month yet since the idea was mooted ; and only two meetings open to the public have jjeen held on the subject. A provisional committee has done all the practical work, quickly and well, and the result of their labours is that an enrolment of pupils for the classes has been made, 65 names-being received, j Preparations were made for teaching; the following subjects this session ---English, Latin, mathematics, arithmetic, book-keeping, shorthand, chemistry, woodcarving, cookery, dressmaking, practical plane and solid geomet.y, and building construction.
