ECONOMIC LOSS
STOP-WORK MEETINGS
SUGGESTION TO WATERSIDERS
(By Telegraph".—Press Association.) • r.' : .AUCKLAND, This Day.
A suggestion that to avoid economic loss and inconvenience waterside workers' stopwork meetings should be held in the dinner hour is to be conveyed from the Auckland Chamber of Commerce to the authorities competent to deal with tlii matter. The council of the chamber discussed the question at a meeting yesterday and made this decision. ' Members pointed out that the holding of meetings i>: the morning often resulted in interference with the distribution of perishable cargo. One member said that if it was good for one class of employees to hold stopwork meetings it should be equally as good for other classes. The view of the majority, however, was that it was reasonlable for the watersiders to meet during the daytime, but that the delay to cargo handling would be minimised if the dinner hour were included in the time taken.
