WELLINGTON, March 10.
The way watersiders have been carrying on cannot he tolerated any longer, and if they have not common sense t,o settle their differences themselves, we will speedily settle for them, declared the Minister of Labour (Hon H. T. Armstrong) to-dav. His attention was drawn to- the present hold-tip of shipping at Napier and Greymoutli and he was asked to indicate the Government’s attitude towards the disputes. If the union cannot control its men on the waterfront we will find another organisation to do so. No Government can tolerate this sort of tiling any longer, '[’here is no excuse for if. The Minister added that he was not saying the men were not right in their proteSp or who was right or w(io was j wrong, but they had a provision in their i own agreements for settling these disputes as they crop up at the time, without any interruption in work, at all.
