DERRICK ACCIDENT.
QUESTION OF REGULATIONS. (From Oitr Own Correspondent. 1 WELLINGTON, August 20. Replying to a question by one of tho Auckland Labour members in the House of Representatives to-day, tho Minister of Marino (the Hon. G. J. Anderson) said that the accident reported from Auckland on .Saturday occurred on the Naringa, which was registered at Homo and not in New Zealand. She was running under a survey certificate issued by the Board of Trade, which covered masts and derricks. According to tho newspaper reports the accident occurred to one of tho derricks. Tho regulations issued by his department in regal’d to waterside work did not apply in this case, 'as the steamer was running on a Board of Trade certificate issued in England. The Marine Department could not interfere unless there wore reasons to suspect that the ship was unseaworthy. The Minister also stated that the waterside work regulations dealing with lifting gear, which a Labour member recently complained were not in operation, were put into operation in May, 1919.
