THE UNION COMPANY'S FIREMEN.
THEIR LATEST DEMAND
(mESS ASSOCIATION- TEL-CRAM.) DUNEDIN, January 15. What is stated to be the latest demand of tho firemen has just come to light. It appears that when tho Moeraki was at Bluff on Monday, her firemen gave what amounted to twentyfour hours' notice that unless the shift coming eff work every morning at four o'clock were supplied* with meat, which they wero to cook themselves, they would leave the boat on hor arrival in Dunedin. The firemen are always supplied with cold meats, etc., on knocking off work, but they maintained that as they were not in time for the ordinary breakfast, meat should be supplied to them so that they could coo.< it and havo it hot. The company finally acceded to the request, and the boat -ailed from Duneuin at her time-table hour to-day.
