WHARF LABOURERS' BURDENS.
A QUESTION OF CHAFF
SYDNEY, Sept. 11
A meeting of the Wharf Labourers' Union last night decided to support the men who have discontinued work on the unloading of the steamers Era and Burrumbeet.
The trouble is that the men insisted upon trucking only three bags of any material at a time, whereas they were required to truck five bags of chaff.
A third steamer, the Barwon, is now held up.
