TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.

At the quarterly meeting of the Wellington Tvpograpiiical Union, held,at the Oddfellow's Hall, on Saturday evening, the following resolution was passed in silence:—"That this union places on record its appreciation of the services rendered to this'union by the late Mr. D. P. Fisher, and expresses a sincere sense of its loss occasioned through his demise." Tho president remarked it was fitting that such a resolution should be adopted at the first meeting of members of tho union after the death of one who had been one of the union's best executive officers, having occupied the positions of president and secretary, and also represented the union on the Trades and Labour Council, and other Labour bodies.

Tho following resolution was passed at the quarterly meeting of members of tho Wellington Typographical Union, which was held at the Oddfellows] Hall on Saturday evening:—"That this union expresses its .sincere regret at the wreck of the Titanic, and the sad loss of life occasioned thereby."

It has been decided by tho Wellington Typographical Union to commemorate its jubilee by issuing a brochure dealing with the inception of (lie union and its progress, so far as records will permit. The union was formed on Saturday, July %, 1802. The brochure will contain the photographs of as many past presidents and secretaries as it is possible to secure, the members' of tho present board of management, etc. In addition to publishing the brochure, the union decided last Saturday evening further to colebrato the occasion by having; a dinner on July 27 next. A competition is being; helll amongst the members of the union for the best designed cover for the brochure, two prizes of X' 2 2s. and £1 Is. being offered, and an Auckland gcnJVjman connected with the jobbing trado will be asked to adjudicate on the specimens submitted. It is anticipated that a fine specimen of the printer's art will be the result of the union's efforts.
