WATERSIDE DISPUTE.
TROUBLE IN DUNEDIN.
ALL BOATS HELD. UP. (By Telegraph. Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Friday. There is trouble on the Dunedin waterfront in connection with the discharge of the oil cargo of the steamer City of Birmingham, which arrived yesterday. Under the Arbitration Court’s award, men working oil ships below the hatches receive id per hour extra, but the Court refused to extend this to the men working on deck. It is stated the men appointed as winchmen yesterday failed to put in an appearance, no work therefore being done. The employers notified the men that no further labour would be' engaged in Dunedin until the steamer was fully manned, and the only ships being worked to-day are the Dorset and Trelyon, where the men are already under contract. When the Corinna arrived this morning no call for labour was made. The Karamea, on entering the port this morning, was ordered to berth at Port Chalmers, where if the dispute is not settled, she will be discharged. There are 250 union men unemployed. •
