WATERSIDERS REPORTED AS NOT UNANIMOUS
CHRISTCHURCH, Dee. 4. Acting on instructions received from the national executive of t'he Waterside Workers' Union, members of the Lyttelton braneh of the union tonight refused overtime on all vessels in port with two exceptions — the inter-island steamer Wahine on which motor cars, inails and luggage were loaded as usual, and the transport Nellore which is loading supplies for the .T Forco. Opinion s expressed by sonie watersiders indicate that they are by no means unanimous in support of the deeision to adopt a 40-hour week as a protest against the Waterfront Industry Commission 's finding. One man said he thought that had a secret ballot been taken, the proposal would have been defeated.
