SEAMEN’S DISPUTES.
trouble in handling cargo.
MEN REFUSE WORK
WELLINGTON, Monday
A few minutes before the coastal steamer Holmdale was due to leave tonight for Dunedin the crew intimated they would not take her to sea as they wanted to attend a stop-work meeting of ilie Seamen and Firemen’s Union to-morrow morning. Trouble was experienced with waterside workers discharging newsprint from Hie Parracombe, the men refusing to handle more than one reel of newsprint in each sling, instead of Hie customary two. Trouble was also experienced in handling cargo from the Makura. It is understood that only one gang was required lo work overtime, but the men refused to do so unless other gangs working during the day were also given overtime. _
