The report and 'accounts of the Eastern and Australian Steamship Company (Ltd.) for the 12 months ended December 31st last, showed record results, and enabled the directors, after providing for the usual 5 per cent, depreciation on cost, to transfer, 4320,000 to reserve, and to recommend the payment of a dividend of 15 per cent., which brought the average rate of dividend for the post seven years to about 15 per cent, per annum. During the year the directors disposed of one of the company’s steamers at apparently a profit on the book value ot ,642.000: which sum has been added to the replacement of steamers account, increasing that fund to 4382,186; so that at the cud of the rear the reserves totalled 43126.4.77, or nearly .£36,000 more than the n'aid-np capital. The company's fleet now consists of two steamers, totalling 7705 tons gross, and averaging 111 years of age, which stand in the company’s books at .£8 13s 8d a ton gross.

In his statement of claim the plaintiff, a waterside worker, set out that on August 18th, 1916, while painting the funnel of a Union Co. steamer, the chair in which he was sitting slipped on the rim of the funnel, and in consequence thereof he came violently in contact with the funnel, and was (brown into the steam issuing from an exhaust pipe, and was seriously injured, scalded, and burned. Ho was still incapacitated from work. It is understood (says the Dunedin "Star”) that the claim was settled for 43350, including costs. AUCKLAND" WATEESIDEES. The annual meeting of the Auckland Waterside Workers’ Industrial Union was hold on Wednesday evening. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. The half-yearly report of the secretary expressed pleasure at the present sound position of the union, and emphasised the growing interest of the members in their affairs, but pointed out that a far greater attendance at meetings was necessary. During the year a sub-commit-tee waited on the various insurance companies to arrange for provision for members in cases of sickness and accident. The result has been that a satisfactory scheme, providing for allowance, will soon be inaugurated. The balance-sheet showed the finances of the union to be sound. The president of the union, Mr Charles Weaver, was declared elected, os he stood unopposed. Mr W. Soares was also re-elected as Three candidates ore opposing the sitting secretary, Mr Stan. Rickards, who has filled the position for four years. Mr George Davis, vice-president, stands for re-election, with one opponent. On Thursday a poll was being taken. There have been 22 nominations for an executive committee of 12. Six candidates are contesting three seats on the local disputes committee. The election is being conducted on the democratic principle of absolute majority. The leading candidate for any important office of the union must have over 50 per cent, of the ballot votes cast. Failing this, a second poll for his position becomes necessary. The members of the union are taking a genuine ihterest in the poll, and the booth in Shed 14 at the Queen’s wharf is the centre of considerable activity.
