"There is some doubt whether the waterside workers will work on Saturday and I assuine our staff will not be ■ needed if the watersiders take it into their miuds not to handle cargoes, " said j\ir. G. E. Carr, at a meeting of the Auckland Harbour Board. He xvas commenting on a report by the "chairnian, Mr. J. H.
