Trouble At New Plymouth Wharves —Echo of Sydney Strike.
Trouble with wharf-labourers in the unloading of r, ship, due to their objection to the vessel being manned with licensed seamen, was experienced at New Plymouth to-day. The vessel, which was the s.s. Gabriella from Australia, took on in that country a crew of men licensed under the Act brought in by the Government to break the seamen’s strike, and in consequence of this, the New Plymouth wharf-labourers refused to handle the cargo. Everything had been very quiet so far, said Sergeant S. 0. Clist, New Plymouth, when interviewed by the Post by telephone this afternoon. He thought the ship was going to be worked to-day, and he- 'did not expect any trouble to develop.
