TIMARU LABOUR TROUBLES
PARTLY SETTLED. BY TELEGRAPH—PER PRESS ASSOCIATIONTIMARU, May 13! The watersiders resumed work to-day on the Union Company's steamers, with some free labour in the trucks. No formal statement appears to have been made, but apparently the stlike is off. * .
The dispute, however, does not concern work on the Union boats, but boats loading meat killed by non-unionists., Some unionists are grumbling at the Federation for inconsistency in approving of ceasing work here on such meat, while making no objection to the like at Lyttelton.
The railwaymen who struck as members of the Waterside Union are all back, and there' is talk of therir separating and forming an independent union. The Employers' Committee met this morning, and work being resumed, had nothing to do except determine to k£ep prepared to meet the next refusal to work vessels.
