AUCKLAND, Dec. 14. A special meeting of members of th eAuckland Typographical Association was held to consider a scale of charges and hours for operators on linotype composing machines. A code of rules, based upon the "recommendations of the recent Typographical Conference, was submitted by the Board and discussed, seriatim. With one or two alterations the rules were unanimously adopted, and the President and Secretary were deputed to lay them before the firms interested as soon as possible. Eeference was made to the duty upon linotype machines, and exception was taken to a statement made by the Premier that the recent case brought to decide the amount of duty leviable under the Customs .tariff had failed through the local Union not bringing proper evidence for the Customs. With regard to the duty, the Association considered that a3 linotypes for one firm had been admitted at a duty of .5 per cent under the decision given by Mr Justice Conolly, other firms importing machines should be levied at the same rate.
