ONEHUNGA WATERSHEDS.

•DEPRIVE US OP SUGAR. JOY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT. PARNELL, Deo. 3. The difficulty which arose at Onehunga on Monday through the refusal of the Manukau waterside workers to load 60 tons of sugar which the Colonial Sugar Refining Company proposed to send to New Plymouth by the steamer Rimu remained unsettled up to the time when the vessel started on her voyage yesterday. Another meeting of the Waterside Workers’ Union was held yesterday morning, as the result of which it was resolved /to adhere to their refusal to handle the consignment. The reason assigned for this aiiltudn was that the men declined to be parties to send-, ing away to another community a class of goods which they were unable to procure for the use of their own household. The sugar consequently remains in the sheds at Onehunga.
