DISPUTE ENDED.
WATERSIDE HOLD-UP.
WORK RESUMED AT NAPIER. "SATISFACTORY AGREEMENT." (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) NAPIER, this day. The Napier waterfront dispute has been settled and waterside workers are back at work to-day. In all respects conditions are normal.
It is announced that the arrangements for the resumption of work are "satisfactory to both parties." No details of the terms of settlement have been made public. The waterfront had been inactive since last Tuesday morning, since when two overseas vessels, the Port Duncdin and the Kent, have left the roadstead without loading their consignment of frozen meat and general cargo for London and other English ports.
Workers who were nominated for a 5 a.m. start last Tuesday, but were not required, claimed the three hours' minimum, which was disputed, but the claim was later passed for payment. At 8 a.m. last Tuesday the men would not accept engagement, and they claimed for six hours from a.m. This was declined, and later the union's secretary in Wellington reduced the claim to three hours. It was on this second three hours, in excess of the three hours already passed for payment, it is understood, that the dispute hinged.
