CARGO HELD UP
MORE TROUBLE AT LYTTELTON OVERTIME NOT WANTED Br Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, March 21. No overtime was worked at Lyttelton last night, but the Union Company worked the Wingatui and also transferred some of the gang to railway trucks. The watersiders refused to work overtime on the ferry steamer this afternoon, and although the company decided to work with its permanent staff, the Railway Department refused to follow the usual practice of supplying permanent hands for the trucks. Consequently, a hundred tons of urgent cargo, including newsprint brought by the Tahiti, will be carried back to Wellington, and no Lyttelton cargo will be loaded for Wellington.
