WATERFRONT DISPUTE.
PAKURA HELD UP AT NAPIER. (Per United Press Association.) NAPIER, October 6. A dispute arose on the waterfront today between the waterside workers and the employers as to the number of men necessary for each gang to work Messrs Richardson and Co.’s coaster Pakura. The waterside workers wanted six men for each gang, and th© employers were willing to engage only four. Endeavours to bring about an agreement failed, and the result was that the Pakura remained in port all the afternoon without a start being mad© with th© discharge of her cargo. The dispute has been referred to Wellington. In th© meantime the employers are resolved to employ no union labour until gangs arc forthcoming for the Pakura. If the call at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning is not answered it is likely that the employers "■’ll engage nonunion labour.
