WORK AND WAGES.

;i. AUSTRALIAN WATERSIDE WORKERS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received February 27, 9.30 p.m.) .MELBOURNE, February 27. The President of the Federal Arbitration Court, granted a further postponement of the waterside workers' case, pending the taking of a secret ballot by the Sydney and Victorian branches on the question of the overtime strike.

THE WELLINGTON WATERSIDERS. rp*a Press Association^ ,■ « WELLINGTON, February 27. l’here has been poor response to the request-that preference members who joined the, Wharf Labourers’ Union prior'to December 9 should leave-their names at the office of the Union. The men concerned apparently do not realise that revised lists are required by the labour foremen immediately and that any man entitled to priority of employment who does not leave his name runs serious risk of losing tho privilege accorded to him through joining the Union while the strike was on.
