WATERFRONT TROUBLES.
IRRITATION TACTICS PRACTISED.
(By Telegraph. Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day.
Some ships were inconvenienced last evening at Wellington through action of a section of watersiders knocking off at five o’clock, and declining to work overtime. Others continued as usual. One. report states that there appeared to be an understanding among the men as to who should go on working. Their agreement leaves it open to the men to decide individually what they shall do. A similar position is reported from Lyttelton where the Union secretary denied any official knowledge of the matter.
THE MEN’S VIEWPOINT
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, This Day
With respect to the demand from Wellington that the “go-slow” and “no-overtime” policy must cease, the local watersiders contend that they are acting within their rights, but they will attend a meeting on Sunday to hear the views of Mr Glover, president of the Transport Workers’ Federation.
