"POSITION AT THE MOMENT
*As The Post goes to press the position would appear to be, summed up, as follows: — Owners firm : Union firm. Strike Committee in session. Probable discharge' of ships' crftWß. Free labour not abundant. Harbour Board doing its utmost. Strikers orderly and police tactful. Pickets posted and persuasive. Steamers idle and consignees want cargo. Freight services may be dislocated, but every endeavour made to run passenger steamers. Cargo to Wellington not being accepted at other ports. No move by either party yet to come to terms. New union , being formed under Arbitration Act. 1 Plentiful crop of rumours, but comparatively few solid facts obtainable.
