In his address to the Conciliation Board at Wellington yesterday, Mr Fenwick, speaking on behalf of the employers, pointed out that the linotype was a machine very suitablo for women in the day time, and it wua quito against tho spirit of modern Liberalism to suck, as the Typographical Union wa* doing, to debar them from era pk>ymeiib upon it. Ho waa against female work at night, but hr day there could be no objection, as tho wor*k was closely allied to typewriting. Later on, Mr Fenwick painted out that anyone really could learn tho midlines, and they wore admirably suited to lads from public schools, as well is youna women.
