WATERSIDERS' CLAIMS.
DOMINION AWARD ISSUE. (By Tolograph.—Press Association.) DTINEBXST, this day. .The Arbitration Court resumed the hearing of the watersiders' claim for a Dominion award. The evidence this morning was largely as to unloading lime, cement, guano, and other unpleasant cargoes. Wtnesses stated that guano was often in perished bags, so that the guano fell from the slings on the men, who preferred to discharge in bulk. Others stated that cargo in bags was usually unpleasant and dusty to work. Mr. Oscar Mcßrine (president of the Auckland union) stated that no cdmplaints were made about stop-work meetings; these were the best safety valve in wharf work, members then knowing that the work was not run by a clique. Hearing was adjourned until Tuesday.
