NEW FERRY LINER. P.A. WELLINGTON, Feb. 15. The name “Hinemoa,” after the chieftainess celebrated in Maori song and story for-her swim from the shore of Lake Rotorua to hei lover on Mokoia Island, has been selected by the Union Company for the vessel which they are having built in the United Kingdom for the Wellington-Lyttelton steamer express service.
RATIONED MEAT DEMAND. P.A. AUCKLAND. February 15., “The position is unchanged,” said Mr. H. Barnes, President of the Auckland Waterside Workers’ Union, when asked if workers assigned to unload a sugar cargo at Chelsea from the “Dominion Park” would work overtime. For the last month the men have refused to work from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Chelsea because no rationed meats were included in the evening meal. In view of the large amount of sugar for Chelsea it is probable that the loss of three hours’ work a night will mean a delay of practically a week in the completion of discharge.
