THE WHARF CRISIS.
NEW PLYMOUTH MEN WORK. The Daily News states that the position at the port of New Plymouth bore an improve*! aspect on Friday, the men deciding to work overtime on the Flora’s cargo on Friday night. The usual request for overtime labour was posted at the wharf and the men accepted without demur. The Flora, which has been delayed on account of the “go-slow” tactics was expected to Jinish discharging and sail for south on Saturday.
AUCKLAND MEN IDLE
All the men approached declined to work overtime on Friday, and consequently no new engagements were made. The position now is that those men who were engaged in loading vessels will continue until they have completed the work they were employed to carry out. This should occupy them til! to-day or Tuesday, after which there will be no more work unless the watersiders change their attitude. NO OVERTIME AT WELLINGTON. Wellington. Friday. Without exception all the watersiders employed at Wellington to-day definitely declined to work overtime tonight. This is the first occasion on which the men have been unanimous on the point, and as a result of their ultimatum all work has been suspended on the waterfront to-night.
