WORK AT NEW PLYMOUTH
SERVICEMEN TO UNLOAD SHIP
From Our Own Reporter WELLINGTON, March 5. New Plymouth will become the fourth port in New Zealand where service personnel are working on the wharves when airmen and soldiers begin to unload the overseas ship Elm Hill to-morrow. The ship is carrying about 9000 tons of fowl wheat, 2000 tons of which is designed for Taranaki and the rest for Wellington and Napier. , . . , Talks among leaders of 11 industrial unions concerned by the strike have broken down. Aimed at reaching a basis for settlement these discussions began at the end of last week, but they will not be continued to-day, and there is no indication of their resumption. No applications have yet been made to the Registrar of Industrial Unions (Mr C. P. Smith) for registration of a new waterside workers’ union. The Minister of Labour (Mr W. Sullivan) said to-night that a number of inSuirtes had been made. It is believed sat tentative discussions between groups of watersiders have occurred in both Wellington and Auckland.
