WATERSIDERS' DISPUTE.
NO SETTLEMENT YET.
APPEAL TO COURT EXPECTED. The negotiations which the waterside workers throughout the Dominion have conducted with the employers appear to have reached a deadlock. The workers applied some time ago for a revision of wages, but the employers refused to negotiate, holding that as the men worked under an award they should go to the Arbitration Court for relief. Up to now, dospite some correspondence, the waterSiders have refused to invoke the aid of the Court, and the employers have been just as determined in their attitude. However, in view of the attitude taken up by the Arbitration Court that wages must increase in proportion to the increased cost of living, it is now expected that .the executive of the Waterside Woi-kers' Union will depart from its previous position and go to the Court. Developments in this respect are expected at any time.
