COASTAL VESSELS
BRIEF HOLD-UP AT WELLINGTON MASTERS AND OFFICERS MEET. [ Per I’reii Association. ) WELLINGTON, May 3.' A hold-up of small coastal vessels at Wellington comprising the Kaitoa, Gale, Kapiti, Hawera and Echo, which commenced yesterday, ended to-day when these vessels resumed running. The masters and officers of the ships in the coastal trade were dissatisfied with the conditions of their employment and in order to hold a meeting and discuss matters the presence of sufficient officers was necessary. This would not*have been possible had all the ships continued running. The masters and officers met yesterday, and to-day, following further discussions, it was decided to meet the owners again. The ships thereupon took up their usual sailing times. Negotiations are still proceeding as a result of to-day’s meeting.
