ARBITRATION COURT.
WATERSIDE WORKERS’ EVIDENCE. Wellington, Sept. 21. The Arbitration Court took evidence in the watersiders’ case to-day relating to lightering at Gisborne and Napier. A witness from Napier, a leading hand on ocean liners, said he got 5/a week more than an ordinary hand, and 6d an hour extra for working wool and tallow. His average wages in 1921 were £4 0/6 per week, and in 1922, to the end of August, £4 17/-. Mr. Nicholas Saunders, Auckland, said no threats of holding up work or going slow had been made. He was of opinion that waterside work was done better now than before the war, at any rate as well.
