Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 5

[manifesto issued by the Trade]

No manifesto issued by the Trade in these colonies is of greater interest or importance than the following, bearing date December, 1890, and sent out in the form of a circular to all affiliated bodies by the Australasian Typographical Union. It will be considered at the next half-yearly meeting of the N.Z.T.A. Believing that it is deserving of the thoughtful consideration of every one in the Trade, and worthy of being placed permanently on record in the organ of the Craft, we publish it in full:—

The following Resolution, received from the New South Wales Typographical Association, was exhaustively considered at a special meeting of the Executive Council of the Union, held on Saturday, 15th November, 1890:—

We, the Members of the New South Wales Typographical Association, earnestly urge upon the Union their immediate attention to the following grave matters: The necessity of an Australasian scale of charges, the Apprentice Question, Female Labor, Reciprocity of Mortality and Out-of-work Allowance, and Legislation in the Country Districts.

The conclusions arrived at by the Council, as hereunder set forth, are submitted to societies for consideration, with a recommendation that the same be adopted by the Australasian Typographical Union.
