Acting .under instructions from headquarters -vyaterside workers have definitely refused to handle cargo worked by the new electric luffing cranes erected by the harbour board on the Victoria wharf. • This refusal comes suddenly, as when the union recently asked that its members be employed as cranedrivers there was no hint of a boycott. The board was of the opinion that its plant should be worked only by its own servants.
The boycott means that the plant, costing over £IO,QOO, stands idle pending a settlement.
