THE WATERSIDE DISPUTE.
EVIDENCE BEFORE ARBITRATION COURT. (Per Press Association}. WELLINGTON, March 29. Other evidence before the Arbitration Court to-day in connection with the waterside labour case was that travelling time between suburbs and wharves was not fairly used. The present system of labour caused a good deal of overlapping. Stoppage meetings should be held. One month in the day time, the next at night, to give the employer a fair thing. As to the wet weather clause, it was stated that men knocked off on the slightest excuse as regards unfavourable weather. Regarding supervision of men a good deal depended on how the watersiders were handled. If handled well, they would work well. As to personal supervision. Mr Roberts, for the Federation, maintained that where they had fair personal supervision no difficulties arose. The sitting was adjourned till tomorrow.
