THE WATERFRONT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —In your issue of May 29 a report appears headed ‘ Waterfront Antipathy.’ At a meeting of the Harbour Board, held on May 28, the question of new waiting rooms for waterside workers came before the board for approval. It was suggested that the tally clerks employed on the waterfront should occupy part of the same building. I objected to this proposal, and submitted that after long years of wafting the members of the, AVaterside Workers’ Union were entitled to a building for themselves. In connection with this matter it would appear that much space has been given compared with other business _ discussed at Harbour Board meetings. The word “ antipathy ” is certainly unnecessary, as to the best of my knowledge the waterside workers and tally clerks are in complete harmony.—l am, etc.. D. Copland. June 5. [Mr Copland’s remarks at the meeting were correctly reported.—Ed. E.S.]
