WATERSIDERS COMPARED
AUCKLAND, Dec. 18. Although dockworkers in the p.ort of London are living on an austerity diet, their output is greater than that of the New Zealand watersiders. This is the elaim of Mr. R. J. Foreman, assistant to the niarine superiptendent, Shaw, Savill Line, who has returned from eight months in Britain. He said the London watersider's workipg day was from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Before the war the worjking week on the New Zealand waterfront was 68 hours wljich had been reduced to 59 ?md now to 40, The turnround of ships must now be lengthened and the efforts-of -British expprters to foster trade will be thereby nullified.
