Wharf Trouble.
AUCKLAND WATERSIDERS.
DISCHARGING THE NGAIvUTA. RESULT OF AUSTRALIAN STRIKE (By Telegraph.—l-’ress AUCKLAND, Jan. 10. Because she was manned by a crew of “volunteers,” replacing tin Australian seamen now on strike, no members of the Auckland Waterside Workers’ Union responded to the call for men to discharge tin Union Company’s chartered steamer Ngakuta, which arrived from Sydney this morning. Similar action was taken by the watersiders when the Aorangi, also manned by a volunteer eyew, called at Auckland this week on her way from Sydney to Vancouver.
As was done with the Aorangi, the Ngakuta is being unloaded by the company’s permanent employees. The wharf is blocked by barriers and three constables are in atten dance, but there has been no demon stration.
