ACTION IN AUCKLAND (Uj Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday Supporting the move of their southern colleagues, Auckland waterside workers to-day decided to declare all hotels “black” until .they are satisfied that the increased beer tax is being equally borne by all sections of the community.

They resent the actions of the hotels and claim that the brewing industry is making extra profit, besides fully retrieving the tax.
