THE WATERFRONT
COALING TROUBLE STILL UNSETTLED. The trouble that occurred on Friday about tho unloading of two colliers at tlio wharf was still unsettled on Saturday. It will bo remembered that the men raised objection to the. unloading of coal from the steamers Kittawa and Kakapo unless tho use of tackle known as the "Burton block" were discontinued. Their request was not granted, and work on these steamers ceased. On Saturday gangs worked the Kakapo with the "Burton block" tackle, but they refused to accept engagement for the Kittawa.
