NO RESPONSE
(P-A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. 6. .Although waterside labour was ordered back for 6 o’clock to-night, and although the 6 o’clock whistle blew as usual, the proceedings were just a formality, for there was no response by the watersiders, and none was expected. There were rumours that the men would refuse to work at all to-morrow. There is little support for these rumours, however, and it is expected that the men will, in the meantime, continue to work restricted hours. When questioned to-day as to what would happen to-morrow, the secretary of the Lyttelton branch of the union, Mr J. Flood, declined to make any statement. “Let to-morrow take care of itself,” he said.
