A LAST CHANCE. FOR THE WATERSIDERS ON STRIKE.

Tlio decision of the Labour Sub-Committee of tho Defence Committee arrived at yesterday is crystallised in tho following resolution which was unanimously adopted:— "As the membershin of the Wharf Labourers' Union is now almost sufficient to work the port, it has been decided that although tho agreement between the employers and tho workers provides for preference to unionists, priority of engagement will be given to those members joining the union on or beforo December S,' who are of good character, and who, in th? opinion . of the labour foreman, aro capable ■ of performing tlio work."
