Tho Westport Wharf Labourers' Industrial Union have nUb applied for .registration,'but this has been withheld pending roeoipt of a copy of its rules. Concorning tho opening. of tho two West Coast ports, it is interesting to note that tho Anchor Time's Alexander left Wellington last, evening, # ' fully laden, for Greytnonth. wis quite probable that she will bo followed by thfl same company's Kennedy for -Wostpart either to-daj* of to-morrow. .If the Kennedy doc's man-ago to • get awiy she will bo tho first steamer t.o run tho blockade, and as Wcstpott is tho last port to bo opened the situation •' is rather interesting.
