BROOMPARK HATCHES MANHANDLED TODAY
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. The watersiders decided, at a stopwork meeting this morning to resume work on the wheat ship Mountpark and the sugar ship Broompark, and early in the forenoon conditions on the waterfront returned to normal.
A meeting, which lasted half an hour, was held to consider the finding of the tribunal announced yesterday. Today the watersiders, manhandling the hatches, resumed the discharge of sugar at Chelsea from the Broompark, which had been idle since July 19. The handling of the Mountpark’s wheat cargo will be resumed when she moves to the first available berth, probably on Thursday. The Mountpark has been at Auckland since May 9 and in the stream since July 17. The watersiders today responded to calls for work on all the ships in port. (Earlier Messages on Page 3)
