GANG REDUCED
WORK REFUSED ACTION OF WATERSIDERS WAIPIATA’S HOLD-UP (Special to "Northern Advocate.”) AUCKLAND, This Day. Owing to the reduction by two men per gang of the number employed in loading the coastal ship Waipiata, work on her has not been accepted by the Auckland Watersiders’ Union. After the ship’s southern cargo has been discharged, the eight-men gangs were reduced to six for loading, but the men working the ship would not accept employment. About 80 men are affected.
This morning a call for labour brought no response, and the ship, which was scheduled to sail at 9 o’clock to-night for Wellington and the South Island ports, remains idle.
