SHIPPING HOLD-UP.
DISPUTE WITH WATERSIDERS.
SEVERAL VESSEiLS DELAYED.
(By Association.)
' <\v&£n*<3cToir> Mf'&a.j.
Watersiders employed to discharge Newcastle coal from the eteamer Port Nicholson this morning demanded increased money, as they considered the cargo dusty and. disagreeable to work. The men declined to refer the matter to the Disputes Committee, as required by the agreement, and the employers decided not to engage further labour. Consequently those vessels which were at Wellington this morning are idle. These include the Wahine and Pateena. It is doubtful if the former vessel will be able to proceed to Lyttelton to-night.
