UNDISCHARGED SHIP.
. 4* • ' 1 MEN FEAR TIME BOMBS. , » WILLING TO UNLOAD DRUGS. ! Is reference to the statement made in Parliament in regard to the ship held up at Wellington, Mr. J. G. Bruce, secretary of the Waterside Workers' Union, states that this was the first intimation that. drues were aboard or were urgently re- 1 quired. He considers it a strange thing, if the drugs were urgently required, that the men did not know of this till the "ues- j tion was asked in Parliament. i The executive of the union is willing [ to give the Government and the shipping company any assistance to get the cases of drugs out of the ship, on the following conditions:—That a special insurance is ; provided for the men who get the cases out in the event of them being injured by bombs or'other e: plosives. _ _ j "The executive has no wish but to facili-1 Lite the despatch ot the drugs to their j destination, and is willing to do its best to unload them, provided all proper steps are taken to ensure the men against possible danger in handling the cargo. j _____ I
