NGAKUTA’S CARGO
WATERSIDERS REFUSE WORK [ Per Press Association. ] AUCKLAND, Jan. 10. Because she is manned by a crew of “volunteers” replacing .the striking Australian seamen, no members of the Auckland Waterside Workers’ Union responded to the call for men to discharge the Union Co.’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 crew, 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 attendance, but there has been no demonstration.
