The shipping companies aro confronted with a loss running into hundreds of pounds as a result of the waterfront deadlock. The berthage cost is comparatively small compared with the general expenses, of which wages to -ships' complements form no mean part. There is also loss of earning power of ships to be considered. The number of waterfront workers now unemployed at Dunedin i 9 estimated at. about 400. Very few men are to be observed about the wharves.
There was no response again this morning to work the Kawatiri and vessels in port are still idle.
