SLOW UNLOADING
WATERSIDERS AT AUCKLAND SHIP CAPTAIN'S COMPLAINT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, March 6. (Received March 6, at 11.5 a.m.) The complaint that much of the profit from the timber cargo carried from Vancouver had been eaten up because of the slow unloading operations at Audkland by watbrsiders was made by Captain Beaten, master of the freighter Loch Don, now in Sydney. Captain Beaten said the Auckland stevedores had taken 10 days to discharge a consignment of timber from the Loch Don. Only nine slings had been required to load the same cargo into the vessel at Vancouver.
Captain Beaten emphasised that if tramp shipping was to cbmpete successfully in Britain’s colonial trade the men who handled the cargo must give a “ fair deal.”
