WATERFRONT WORK
INCREASING EFFICIENCY
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. I "As the war in the Pacific has developed the Waterfront Control Commission has found it necessary to take steps throughout the Dominion to increase mechanical and labour effici- ' ency and to increase the speed of passing goods through the shed system of the main ports," said the chairman of the Commission, Captain Price, today. "In Auckland the labour force has been substantially increased, and frpm June 18 the supervision of labour will come directly under the control of the Commission," said Captain Price. "Even the larger coastal ships will not be allowed to remain idle in port over the weekends wherever it is practical to work them. To avoid difficulties from.cargo congestion in wharf sheds, a committee will be appointed to see that the sheds are cleared of cargo on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, as well as on week days, merchants co-, operating by a reduction in the multiplicity of marks on similar lines of cargo."
