WHAT THE HOLD-UP ENTAILS
MAINTENANCE OF HIGH
FREIGHTS.
" The seamen, 'by refusing to work the ships, are holding up a return to normal conditions in New Zealand," declared a, gentleman closely in touch with the shipping situation, to a " Post" reporter. " The shipping companies are suffering loss through their boats being tied up, and. this will mean that freights will have to be maintained on a high scale. High freights mean high prices, and that is a vital point which materially affects the public. " If the trouble should develop and tho situation become similar to that, obtaining in 1913, it will be a good thing in a way, for the workers are sure to be defeated, and after that we should have at least three years of industrial peace."
