Turrpll, general manager and dlrecfor of tke New Zealand Skipping Company, wko returned to tke Domiuiou by tke Awatea after a business aud hpliday visit to Epglaud. Mr Turrell • gaid costs against skip? owners kad gone up in an extraordinary nxanuer, and as far as New Zealand trade was eoncerued^ practicaUy no ships were being built otker tkan those wkick had been ordered prior to tkese x-ises. Tke building programmes of various comp.anies kad been delayed. One of tke worst features of the situation for owners in tke N,ew Zealand trade was the poor work wkick was given "by tke watersiders in tke Dominion. "Tke New Zealand watersider can do jjust as good work as auybody else an^ be use'd to do 90," gaid Mr Turrell. Tke pcsition kad chang.ed, kowever. Tke gtandai-d of work was po.or and was not wfiat companies were entitled to, especially witk tke wages they were paying. In Australia, Englana, and elsewkere, muck better wprk wag done by tke same class of men.
