DUNNAGE DISPUTE
STOP-WORK MEETING CALLED
OVERSEAS SHIPS DELAYED P.A. AUCKLAND, Aug. 2. A stop-work meeting of Auckland watersiders has been called for Monday morning to hear a report from the union leaders on the Dunnage dispute, which has caused more than a week’s hold-up of several overseas vessels. The national president of the Watersiders’ Union, Mr Barnes, will leave Auckland after the meeting to attend a meeting of the union’s national executive in Wellington. More than 100 passengers waiting to leave in the motor ship Matua for the Islands to-day will have an enforced delay until Tuesday at least as a result of the dispute. Eight hundred and ninety watersiders have been placed under penalty, preventing them from securing work for three days owing to the dunnage dispute.
