WATERSIDE WORKERS,

MUST NOT WORK OVERTIME. The Committee of Management of the Waterside Workers' Federation, now sitting an Melbourne, has decided that no overjtuno is to bo worked in tho industry; or, on other words, work must cease at 6 pm, The federation comprises members of tlio Wharf Labourers' Union, and tho Stevedore Labourers Union, numbering some thousands. Tho decision is said to be due to many men being unable to earn a reasonable living wage. As a result, the Sydney branch of the Wharf Labourers' Union yesterday morning decided not to work overtime from Monday nest, as rocommended by tho Federal Executive of the union. This means that the men -mil refuse to handle cargo after 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. tho following morning, and is regarded as a serious move in shipping circles. Similar action is being tnken by tho union throughout tho commonwealth. Tho union takes the view that more men will be employed in order to get tho ships away rapidly. Pnrthormore, tho men will not be kept away from home at night, aa the work will now' haw to bo carried out in daylight.
