SHIPPING COMPANIES' WHARF LABOURERS.
t United Press Association. J Auckland, Jan. 1«. Tlie Shipping Companies, as employers of wharf labour, have filed a dispute tinder tho Arbitration Act, and the 30th inst. has been fixed as the date of hearing. Tho position is peculiar. Tlie local branch of the Waterside Workers' Union recently took a vote with the view to the cancellation of registration, and carried the proposal by a considerable majority. But when the matter came before the Registrar he refused to cancel on the ground that tho majority was not a majority of tlic- total members of the Union. The employers ask various modifications of the existing award, including the exclusion of tho preference clause.
