WATERSIDE TROUBLE
HOW MANY MEN TO A GANG? Br Telegraph.—Press association. Napier, October 6. A dispute arose on the . waterfront to-day between the waterside workers and employers as to the number of men necessary for each gang to work Richardson and Co.’s coaster Pakura. The watersiders wanted six men for each gang and employers were willing to engage only four. Endeavours to bring about an agreement failed and the result was that the Pakura remained in port all the afternoon without a start being made with the discharge of her cargo. The dispute has been referred to Wellington. Meantime the employers resolved to employ no union labour until gangs are forthcoming for the Pakura. If the call at 8 tq-mqrrow morning is not answered it is likely employers will engage, non-union labour.
