HEALTH OF WATERSIDERS
UNLOADING OI LOOSE GUANO ‘From Our Parliamentary Reporter) Wellington, This Day. On behalf of the member for Napier • the Hon. W. E. Barnard) Mr J. A. Lee (Democratic Labour, Grey Lynn ) gave notice in the House of Represenj tatives yesterday afternoon to ask the acting-Prime Minister <Mr Nash), whether he would take steps to ensure i that the health of waterside workers i throughout the Dominion was ade- , qua tel.v protected when they were engaged in unloading such cargo as loose “Men now employed in unloading | guano at Wellington were not sup j plied with respirators until Monday last," said Mr Lee "The conditions in ; the holds of the ship were such as to make work there dangerous to health | in the absence of respirators. The use I of cotton or woollen coverings over the I mouth and face is obviously an insufficient safeguard."
