THE WHISKY SUPPLY.
ATTITUDE OF SCOTTISH DOCKETS
Of late the dockers, or watersiders, liato taken a. hand in a good many mat. tors. One of the latest is the whisky supply. A Now Zealand firm has received from Scotland a letter stating that the action of the dockers there may have .the effect of lessening the export of “old Scotch” to New Zealand.
The letter runs:—-“We beg to ad vise you that export of whisky is mean, time suspended indefinitely owing to the attitude adopted by the dockers at Glasgow aiid Liverpool. Apparently they have tile feeling that no liquor should be sent out of the country, when the Government are allowing "o little out of bond for consumption by the Home public. This impossible state of matters cannot, of course, continue, and we are just afraid that the Government will bfe forced to release more whisky and other liquors from bond to appease the public clamour. Consequently, if tin's happens then the quantity of wliis. Icy available for export will lie correspondingly curtailed.”
