WELLINGTON WHARVES
WORK AGAIN REFUSED. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, September 6. Very few vessels were able to work cargo on the Wellington waterfront to-day, owing to trouble with the watersiders. There was again no response by the men when a call was
made to work the motor ship Port Hobart, and as a consequence no new labour was engaged for any vessels in port, except the ferry steamers, and the coastal motor ship Inaha. The Inaha was made an exception as her cargo was of butter from Patea for the liner Akaroa.
The Port Hobart was discharged by her own crew, and she left at 10 p.m. for Lyttelton and Dunedin. Now the Port Hobart, the preference ship, has left, a geneial call for labour will be made to-morrow, but it is doubtful whether it will be answered.
