WATERFRONT WORK
(P.A.)
AUCKLAND, Feb. 18
An improvement in waterfront work throughout New Zealand was reported by the Minister of Labour (Mr. Webb) following an appeal he made while visiting Auckland some weeks ago. He expressed confidence that a further improvement could be expected.
"There has been ; more continuous work, notwithstanding the acute shortage of waterfront labour," Mr. Webb said. "Some men have worked over 80 hours a week, day and night, and are certainly giving a good return.'"
