Follovring on the seuccess of a conierence on Tuesday between representatives of the shipowners ahd waterside wcrkc-rs with officials of both pariiey from Wellington, the hatches of the Karepo were opened again yesterday when the morning call for labour was answered." Gangs were Bubsequently engaged for the Mako, the Acugaret W, and the Pakura and e veek's idleness at the wharves ended. The outeome of the conforence waa not clearly delined to the Press, but it was indicated that hopes were entertaincd for a aettlement yesterday morning. When a call for labour was made Yesterday the anticipation was realised and all availabe] unionists were absorwed, the labour needs in the port being unusually heavy after ;the delay. lncluded in the engagements were also n number of casUal non-union watersld-e workers.
Although there has been nd officlal disclosure of the recommendatiwia made to the union members at ^a special meetrag yesterday morniiig, it is understood that the general cargo cf the Karepo is to be worked with 14 men to each hatch. Any dispute arisiug out of subsequent changes in the number of men worked will be referred to the national disputes comraittee, without a stoppage bf work on tfin waterfront it Gisborne. Both the Mako and the Margaret W. completed diecharge yesterday and sailed from the port last night.
The Pukeko will arrive in port from Auckland to-morrow and the Wainui is due from the south. The PuA;eko will carry two weeks' shipments of cargo for Gisborne, and the Wanui will bring produce and general cargo.

By to-morrow it is expected space in the wharf sheds will be exceptionally heavjiy taxed, and facilities for the delivery of good.s to business premises will be at a premium,
