NAPIER WATERSIDERS.
PAKURA TO BE UNLOADED* DISPUTE NOT YET SETTLED, [BX TELEGRAPH.—-PRESS ASSOCIATION.] NAPIER. Friday. As a result of a meeting of the local disputes committee this afternoon the waterside workers who declined to answer a call to work the steamer Pakura yesterday agreed to proceed with the working of the vessel, and in the meantime the dispute will be referred to Wellington for the iNa'aonal Disputes Committee to consider next week. The dispute arose at Port Ahuriri on Thursday afternoon when a call was made for labour to unload the Pakura's cargo. The waterside workers wanted six men for each gang and the employers were willing to engage only four. A conference of representatives of the parties was held, but the men declined to accept engagement unless their demand was conceded.
