GISBORNE WATERSIDERS
REFUSAL TO LOAD MEAT. SUPPORTED BY UNEMPLOYED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Gisborne, this day. On the arrival of the Port Dunedin from Wellington, the carting of meat reported to have been loaded by nonunion labour, was expected to precipitate a further dispute with the watersiders to-day but after a lengthy meeting the watersiders agreed to load the wool and butter awaiting shipment, leaving the question of the meat loading unsettled. No effort was made by the employees for the transhipment of meat to-day, and the unemployed maintained their support of the unionists by refusing to work on the lighters, and there was only a small response made to the call for non-union labour for the Tiroa and other coastal vessels.
