The Manaia Road was tay-sealed three years ago, and (states the Stratford Post) ihas been tar-grouted and re-tarred only once. It is still in excellent order. From the employers? point of view, (comments the Christchurch “Press") there is a certain “Worker” engaged amongst the watersiders in coal-boat operations whose “job” is .an absolute sinecure. Jle is known as the "turkey,” though his official designation is “deck-plan.” A Westport witness in the watersiders’ case in the Christ- - church Arbitration Court said that , the “turkey’s” duties 1 were absolutely . nil, a statement which he adhered to under strict cross examination by the workers’ agent. The only reason for the "turkey’s” presence, he said, was that the railway “hookers-on,” When loading a boat, would not work unless he was there. Theer seemed to be an arrangement amongst the workers that there should be no work unless a. “turkey” were employed. He was merely a relic of; the “shute-loading” days. The employers’ agent remarked that probably the “turkey” derived his name from the fact that all he had tc do was to "strut and preen his feathers.” It was to be hoped that the “unnecessary bird would be consigned to roost forever,” The “turkey’s” value from the workers’ point of view is to be divulged later in the hearing of the case.
