THE “BLACK” SHIP
EMBARGO LIFTED , VESSELS WORKED YESTERDAY. Tho steamer at the Taranaki street wharf, dubbed the “drug-ship, ’ was being discharged yesterday by the watersiders, tho embargo being lifted by tho men, as tho owners undertook to compensate any worker or h.s dependents for injury or death through tomb explosions on tho vessel by payment of double the amount under which the owners are liable for n jury or death under the Workers’ Compensation Act. The men fo.- tl roe weeks past have declined to accept engagement to unload tho boat. Four gangs of watersiders, tho full number reported, wore engaged yesterday morning to put out the 1000 tons of cargo for this port. The discharge will bo completed this morning. Another steamer in tho stream which required hunker coal, and was unable to get labour for the work on Thursday, obtained the necessary men yesterday from tho ranks of the watersiders, as anticipated in yesterday’s “Now Zealand Times.”
