ON THE WHARF
1 STRIKE ECHOES, Between 300 and 400 men, many of them coal-workers, were idle on the wharves this morning, although the port was very busy. • Very few additional men signed on as members of the Wharf Labourers' Union, but there were several applications for preference badges. Several men have reported to the | executive of the union that' their badges have been stolen or tost, In some cases the badges have been taken out of coats which have been left hanging up by their owners while at work. It is essential that care should be taken not to allow the discs to go astray, as the union cannot replace them. The executive has not yet reached finality in its decision in regard to the requisitions by ex-strikers for a special meeting of the union to be called.
