THE I WON’T WORKERS.

GO SLOW AT WATERFRONT.

(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Last Night. The position on the Wellington waterfront Is causing some concern. The situation appears to be developing slowly. It is difficult to ascertain whether the watersiders are following the example set in Auckland by refusing all overtime. The men did not work overtime on several vessels In port, but on others no difficulty was experienced. It is reported that the watersiders will decline to work overtime on inter-colonial and overseas vessels. The work on the Mo- • ; ana was delayed through some trouble concerned with the bunkering of the vessel, which was considered by the Disputes Committee. The men accepted engagement as far as general cargo was concerned on receipt of a certificate as to the actual nature of a case of sickness upon the Moana. Later. The watersiders are not united upon the decision to refrain from working after 5 o’clock at night. The men engaged at the colliers Kokiri and Karamu, and one gang operating on the Manuka declined to work overtime, but the Home liners and several other boats worked after $ o'clock this evening.
