LABOUR DISPUTE.
[BT TELEGBArH.— ASSOCIATION.] Ditnedin, Monday. Some 60 members of the Waterside Workers' Union engaged to handle the cargo on the steamer Victoria when she arrived early this morning, refused to work unless some non-members of the union, seven or eight in number, who had also been engaged, were put off. The men were commissioned in the ordinary way on Saturday, and the fact that some were nonunionists was unknown until this morning. Three or four non-unionists expressed their willingness to join the union, and were allowed to work. The rest were dismissed. It was arranged between the two parties that members of the union should be provided with badges, to enable employers to distinguish them from nonunionists.
