WELLINGTON WATERS I D ERS
IMPORTANT BALLOTS TO-DAY
[BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Thursday Although a stop-work meeting held today by the Wellington waterside workers lasted hours, it is understood that nothing definite resulted. A further meeting is to be held to-morrow morning, and it is stated that two ballots will be taken, one on the question of handling frozen meat from works employing non-union labour, and the second on the question of reduction of salaries and numbers of paid union officials. The meeting was closed to the press and no statement for publication was forthcoming. However, it is understood that most of the time was given to discussion of the balance-sheet and the salaries of certain officials.
It is unofficially reported that the men have been strongly advised against refusing to load meat. An intimation is said to havo been conveyed to them that a refusal will result in an immediate call for free labour being made.
