A CANARD

There is no truth in the statement which is going round a certain section of the Press to the effect that Mr Macandrew pui poses retiring from the_ Ministry after at tending the present session. ' THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING

OFFICE,

So much work is there in the Govern ment printing office that the printing of several pressing Bills cannot be undertaken. They have accordingly been sent to other offices

TRADE BRISK,

Trade, however, is more than ordinary brisk in Wellington at present. DELAYS.

Even then delays occur. For example, the Licensing Bill which is down on the order paper for the second reading to-mor row is not yet printed nor nearly ready for publication. The same is the case with re gard to the Native Lands Bill which, though now all but settled as to details, is only very slowly going through the printer's hands in consequence ef pressure of other work in the office. There is still a ciy for more labourers from Manawatu. The "Ad vocate" says one hundred good working men could find employment at Feilding. Some of the Corporation works are at a standstill for the lack of labour with which to carry them on.

COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY.

The Committee of Inquiry, on the motion of Mr Williams, respecting placing Maori names on the Electoral Roll for Mongonui and Bay of Islands has been postponed until Thursday. The House is expected to meet on Monday next, in order to mako*_ip for the day which will be lost by members going South on Wednesday we_k. RABBIT NUISANCE.

The Babbit Nuisance Bill provides for constitution of districts and the election of five trustees for each district, to take measures for the eradication of rabbits. Power is given to trustees to levy in each year a rate on all holdings of landowners not exceeding one halfpenny per acrd. The Colonial Treasurer ia empowered to pay any person out of the moneys appropriated by the General Assembly for that purpose. Upon every; rabbit skin exported from the coloney by Buch ptrson, one halfpenny per skin. If j any , person knowingly and wilfullyi liberates in any part of the colonyl any live rabbit or rabbits, persons so offen ding, shall upon conviction before l any two; justices, and at their discretion, be liable to he committed to gaol with or without hard labour for any term not exceeding six I months, or to forfeit and pay a penalty not exceeding £50. PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT.

The "New Zealander" says the Public Works Statement to-night will be bold, comprehensive, and sound. - We shall learn to-night a great deal which may be said to have been beyond public ken till now. An extensive railway scheme will for some years to come be treated as a whole, and the House called upon to decide whether proposals made by Government on the best skilled information are to be adopted, or whether the scandalous scramble of former years is to be per petuated. Loans hereafter will be supplemented from the revenue for repro ductive works. Mr Macandrew will explain the complete scheme, and ask for formal approval of several lines. It will take fiv • or six years to complete the contemplated works, all of which have been very carefully considered.

CO-OPERATIVE SHIPBUILDING SOCIETY.

A meeting of the Shipwrights Society was held last night at the Working Men's Club, Mr. Graydon presiding. After the election of officer-, Mr. Ellis proposed the motion he had jriven notice of for the formation of a Co operative Shipbuilding Society. He said:- In rising to move the motion standing in my name, I believe I am uttering the opinion of every member of this society, in stating that a motion nf this kind has beoome almost imperative, especially so of late. That there is a vast amount of lost *lme is a mott lamentable fact, the cause of which will, I hope, b_ a matter for future con sideration. My present object is to draw your attention to our position as mechanics, and the slow but certain depths of miserable eristonco we are sinking to, and to prevent which, I *-k memb*r__' serious consideration. It 1a nee_.-__B for me to relate facts «s to want of employment, for mort of us have had ample experience. But air I would ask, is thera no means by -which we could Bucc-eafnUy prevent, or at least improve our prasant position? I_ there noting we can do to abSbrd our waste time. Sir, I maintain that we can; and by indomitable perseverance, energy, and unanimity, can Bucce_fl_uliy oarry out proposals. Well, the question ariaas what can we .do? I say co-operate. But the yaye and means; just bo; there stands thai *_ant whOße glance alone sinkß as into msignifloance andpaferty. We are terrified actually afraid tomato an attemptat aeingle effort to better our position. And why » Is it beoauae we will low Bomething by so doing. Will we loee more. Will we lose as much as we do under present circumstances. Sir, I ask members to calculate the time they have lost during the year, and they will find that one-fourth of it haa been wa.ted in idleness and mitsery. N ow^takmg that individually, it means between £30 and £40 a year, and yet we go. on in tkis manner y.'ar after year with the utmost indifference. If, then, we can exist with a yearly loss of tins amount, can we not direct it into one channel in a combined form, and run the riak of an absolute loss? If this is done we at .least provide a machine; we then reqnire material*— that Ma. money and credit. As to money,,! believe there is plenty in the Bank, and market also; but our securities must be very good to realise at a reasonable rate of interest. Ine Question will be, how much do we require; for we must have a certain aaiount to start with. As to e'-edit, I do not think it is difficult, to obtain, for I believe'the whole of New Zealand is implicated more or leas in that branch of busineas. We now come to a very important matter, that is, the management of the whole affair; and I would impress on members minds; even as proprietors, that they must Bink all petty grievances and jealousy, and must submit to work fair and honestly, according •to the manager's orders; for on this hidden rock many a good undertaking has .ulti mately failed and crumbled to pieces. This, sir,' is simply an outline of what is required, and could be opened to the public; or we could adopt a more contracted or select courso.by keeping the proprietary within the Society, by making a weekly contribution to create a fund; and unless it were heavy, it would take a con siderable time to accumulate. But under any circumstances, I think we would be taking. a Btep in tbe right direction. Strong complaints are uttered by employers that the excessive rate ot waaea has caused a stagnation in our trade. But I fail to see it. There are other builders in the Southern Pacific who would fl.od us with their productions if such were the case; butthero are very few trades placed in the same position as ours. Bricklayers and stonemasons only ; all other trades, I believe, has protection from the weather more or less, andean work when we are forced to be idle (as a member in Parlia ment stated last week) three and four days in a week, so that your wages are reduced to a.very low average indeed^-ZTrue, if you do not work you cannot expect to be paid, but idleness is not what wo require, and woe to a country or nation that takes no steps to check it, for it will surely bring it to desolation and want. Putting, aside the weather, what prospects do we see in any of oar shipbuilding yards? We see vessels in various stages of construction. You may see the boy just loosed from his mother's apron strings, the impetuous youth with the first dawn of -down on his upper. Up, but you!-may look in vain for the practical and experienced mechanic, v And I may here state that this is the casein many other trades, although not carried on to such an excess. This, it is stated, is owing to the high rate of wages; boys had to be em ployed to compete against other firms. I ques tion the soundness of such proceedings, for com petition will follow the heels of boy labour equally as , keen as those of the practical mechanic, and inferior productions is the reeult. It is a bad state of affairs to see a lot of lads hurried of£ to work to earn a cruet, while the parent, who is better able to earn a loaf for hla family, is left In idleness and want. Thiß, sir, is the state of our building trade—not a very creditable one, and to better which I _have asked members this evening to give their earnest consideration." Some discussion ensued, the . project receiving general support, and it was agreed to take stepß to bring it to a successful
