STEAMER HELD UP.
WIN FOR WATERSIDERS
Timaru, Oct. 3
The steamer Hurst arrived in the roadstead early this morning and lay outside till 4 p.m. owing to a difference between the agents and the waterside workers regarding the rate of pay for unloading the bulk of the superphosphate cargo from Japan. Some months ago a loyal agreement was made with the men by which they undertook to discharge such cargo at is gd an hour. Today they demanded 2s, with 3s overtime to 10 p.m. and 4s tberealter. As the vessel is on a time charter and nothing else could be done the agents had to agree to the men’s terms, and the work of discharging begins in the morning.
The Union officials charge the New Zealand Employers’ Association officials with avoiding a conference on the subject of handling bulk manures.
