WAIT FOR THE WHISTLE
WATERSIDERS'. WAGES DOCKED
There was a> brief interruption in the work of discharging coal from the Komata yesterday afternoon. The employers of waterside labour are insisting upon the men working right up to the time the whistle sounds. Yesterday 110 men engaged on the Komata went off too soon, and when they were notified that they would be docked half-an-hour's wages they declined to recommence, work. Apparently the trouble was due to some • misunderstanding, for the, men resumed on the advice of the secretary of the union (Mr. J. G. Bruce), who intimated that the position would be considered at a meeting of the Disputes Committee. The Disputes Committee met subsequently, but did not arrive at any definite decision.
