CARGO WORKED BY CRANES.
WHARF LABOURERS’ DECISION. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Aug. 11. Acting under instructions from headquarters, the waterside workers have definitely refused to handle cargo worked bv the new electric cranes erected bv the Harbour Board on Victoria Wharf. This refusal comes suddenly, as when the union recently asked that its members be employed as crane-drivers there was no hint of a boycott. The board was of the opinion that its plant should be worked only by its own servants. The boycott means that plant costing over £IO,OOO stands idle pending a settlement.
