WATERFRONT PROSPECTS.
LITTLE WORK DOING. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON", this day. Prospects along the waterfront for the coming winter are not vejy bright at the i present time in Wellington. Even with work in full swing there is a great deal of unemployment as the result of the repent industrial turmoil, and, with the natural fallmg-off in worK, trie trouble ; will be jnade all the more acute. Many lof the men who were formerly engaged on the wharves have had only very I casual employment, and some of them practically none at all for the past three months, and it i≤ these men, totally un- ! prepared for the financial strain, who j will feel the pinch most severely. Owing Jto the large importations of overseas j coal, much extra work has been provided, but all these cargoes have now ] arrived, and when they are unloaded there will be a serious shortage'of work.
