The 16,317-ton Wanderer, which had been held at Lyttelton since she discharged 9000 tonnes of rock phosphate from Christmas Island last week, sailed yesterday morning after the lifting of . a bar. by local unions and the International Transport Federation. The ban had been imposed on the vessel, now destined for Bluff, because of a wages dispute involving seamen aboard the Liverpoolregistered ship owned by the Thos and Jas Harrison, Ltd, shipping company. At the same time, after three meetings of the Port Conciliation Committee at Lyttelton within two days, watersiders were still teluctant to put deckmen aboard two ships in the port —the Strathmuir and the Kenkon Maru. The dispute, involves a penalty-rate payment for deckmen, according to a union spokesman. The matter will be discussed again this morning.
