MORE WATERSIDERS DISMISSED FOR NOT WORKING MOUNT PARK
(P.A) Auckland, May 24. More Auckland watersiders were dismissed today under penalty because of a refusal to unload Austraalin wheat from the Mount Park. Some are on penalty for the second time. The total number of penalties imposed since the dispute started on Thursday is 85. Two gangs refused on Thursday and again today to lift the hatches by hand, maintaining that hatches should be lifted with the assistance of cranes. Unionists are working two other holds from' which the hatches were removed by non-union labour last week.
The national president of the New Zealand Waterside Workers’ Union Mr. H. Barnes, left by air today for Wellington, where the national executive will discuss the Mount Park dispute and its broader consequences.
