WORK ON THE WHARVES
Non-Union Members Complain (United Press Association.) Wellington, October 17. The big topic on the waterfront at Wellington is the new system for the replacement of non-union men “Y members of the union who have finished a job and are willing to transfer to replace non-union men. Ihe change has been made .as a result of a decision by the National Disputes Committee, and men outside the union are complaining that they are not only debarred from joining the union, but that the new regulations are placing them in an invidious position. They have organized, not as a separate union, but with the hope that by united action they may improve their position. Their specific request is that the union should admit to membership about 300 men at present seeking work on the wharves under non-union conditions.
