TROUBLE AT LYTTELTON.

CHRISTCHURCH., Feb. 11. ! At Lyttelton this afternoon, when the' watersiders were notified they would be required at 6 o'clock, most of them stated that they would cease work for the day at 5 o'clock. In some cases only half a gang would give this notice, and the other half had in consequence to be mit off-by the employers. The secretary of the union denied official cognisance of the matter, but admitted that the cessation was the result of individual action. As far as the union was concerned the men could, please themselves. It is alleged the action of the men is due to the fact that the employers would not accede .to their demands regarding th%?ew bonus.
