THE FERRY TROUBLE
BOTH PARTIES MARKING TIME,
The steamers of the Harbour Ferries Company ran as usual .yesterday, and it scorns unlikely that there will be r any interruption of their running in the immediate future. Both sides, so far as can bo ascertained, are marking time, tho employees of tho company doing nothing lo im-thor their demand - for an incrcaso in wages, and the company itself apparently content to fill a role of passive, resistance. No meeting of the men has been held since before the New Year holiday, and no date has been set down for a meeting in the immediate future. The outcome of the dispute is uncertain, but possibly events may take a new turn after the conference of watcrsiders, which is to open in Wellington on January S. It is understood'that most of the men employed by tho Ferries Company, though they do not belong to any existing local union, are members of the New Zealand Federation /of Labour.
