NATIONAL EXECUTIVE
MEETING IN WELLINGTON TO-DAY SETTLEMENT LIKELY Industrial Correspondent WELLINGTON. Aug. 4. The national executive of the New Zealand Waterside Workers’ Union will meet to-day to consider its policy in the Auckland waterfront , dispute over the laying of dunnage. There has been a fear that the dispute would spread to other ports and possibly to other unions in the transport industry, but this seems now unlikely. It is more probable that the national executive of the union will prefer to reach a settlement on this issue without involving any further stoppage. Discussions on the dispute have been held by officials of the New Zealand Federation of Labour and of the Transport Workers’ Federation with the object of reaching a settlement. It is believed that a statement is likely to be made by the Waterside Union after the-meeting to-morrow.
