[FROM OUR AUCKLAND CORRESPONDENT]. Auckland, June 24. Referring to the Dunedin Typographical Association delegates coming to investigate girl labor, the Star says: —“In yesterday’s issue appeared a telegram from Christchurch, saying that having constituted themselves into a deputation from the Dunedin Typographical Society, they had come to the City of the Plains to endeavor to resuscitate the principles of Trade Union, but the Christchurch printers, to their credit, would have nothing to do with them. The funniest part of the thing is that these wanderers, who are described in the telegram as “ Discharged Auckland printers,” thereupon expressed their intention of “proceeding to Auckland to investigate the system of girl employment at the Mooning Star” We shall be very happy to see them again, as we want a little more fun at their expense, but we trust they have picked up some money in their pilgrimage, as they will be grievously disappointed if the expect to sponge again on the decent, hard working printers of Auckland. These have had quite enough of such loafers, and were only too glad to get quit of them. As for the subject of girl employment at the Evening Star office, which they are coming from afar to investigate, we are happy to believe their report will be of the most satisfactory kind, and that all anticipations of evil, in which they so freely indulged, have proved groundless. In this office are now seven young ladies, apprenticed to the honorable business of printing, on the same terms, and at the same wages, as apprentices of the male persuasion, and we are happy to say that they show themselves most apt to learn, and exceedingly expert at the business. They have clearly established the right of women to this new employment, and we trust that these pilgrims, whom our girls frightened into wandering to distant lands, if they have learned any wisdom in their wanderings, will, after seeing the success which has attended our experiment here, return to the south and urge all the printers there to take their sisters and sweethearts and teach them the way to earn an honest and honourable livehood. [We think our Aucklandcorrespondent has been misinformed, as we learn that no understanding has as yet been arrived at. — Ed. Globe.] [FROM OUR DUNEDIN CORRESPONDENT.] Dunedin, June 22.
