AT OTHER PORTS

SECRJiOi AT DUNEDIU.

DUNEBIN, This Day. Work is proceeding normally on th« Dunedin waterfront.

DUNEDIN, 17th February. Regarding the industrial trouble on the waterfront the Dunedin watersiders jiittintftin the greatest secrecy. They pay; that the position is unchanged, and thai they have received no : information from Wellington as to any future action that may bo decided on. In the meantime the men on the wnterfrout here are working, steadily and are certainly not pursuing Jjie "go-slow" policy. A meeting of the local executive of the New Zealand Transport Workers' Federation was ■ held on Wednesday night, when Mr. J. Roberts, general secretary of the federation, was present. The business transacted, did hot give the slightest indication of what the watersiders intend to do, as can be gained by the fact that a. question on the point subsequently put by a reporter tv some of those present at the meeting brought an authoritative reply that the reporter knew ju»t tvs much about the future actiou.or the watersides «s they

did. All the power, it would eeem, rests in the hands of the chief executive in Wellington..

Mr. Roberts left by the second express on his return, to Wellington.

A Press Association telegram states that the New Plymouth watersiders, aftel- declining to work overtime on Wednesday and Thursday, have notified their readiness to work to-night.
