DISPUTE ON TRAWLERS
QUESTION OF SUNDAY: BONUS (Pee United Pees? association.) ; WELLINGTON, July 9, The steam txawlers Futurist and Nora Niven are ;laid up because of a dispute with the crews over the Sunday bonus of. £1 a'man for each Sunday spent at sea which the company discontinued in view of lower prices and economy. An official of New Zealand Fisheries, Ltd., states that since the war the whole of the ship's company of each trawler had been paid a flat rate bonus of fi a man for each Sunday and public holiday spent at sea. The company decided to stop the extra Sunday, but not the holiday payment. It was originally made when only one trawler was operating, and it was not feasible for the vessel to spend all the week-ends in port. Now, with two trawlers operating, the necessity for regulating the supplies of fish brought into port usually necessitated one vessel being at sea over the week-end, while the other remains in port.
