“It is very seldom we have strikes or lock-outs at our port,” said Mr W. Morrison, chairman of the Wanganui Harbour Board, at a meeting of the Farmers' Union, when such occurrences were advanced as strong objection to the centralisation of shipping at the larger ports.

The recent trouble at Wellington had no reflection on the Wanganui wharves.
