SLACKNESS AT THE WHARVES
WATERSIDERS' DULL WEEK.
There was unusual slackness on the .Wellington wharves last week,' when very few boats were in port. In consequence of the absence of cargoes to work, watersiders experienced a dull and unprofitable week.
The president of the Waterside Workers' Federation (Mr: L. Glover) informed a " Post " reporter this morning that the week was the slackest that has been experienced for some time, the .number .if men employed being about 800. The pay roll for the week amounted to roughly, £1700. The depression was to some extent the result of the inactivity in the mines on the West Coast.
