INFLUX OF ASIATICS
ACTION OF AUCKLAND WATERSIDERS. THREATENED BOYCOTT OF SHIPS. (Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 2. The continued influx of Asiatics has led the Auckland watersiclers to a decision not to work alter a certain date vessels carrying such people. This decision has been convoyed to the advisory board of the Transport Workers’ Federation for its consideration.
A leading officer of the W ate raiders’ Union this morning stated that the position was racching what he considered to be an acute stage. The decision was carried as a protest against the continuous stream of Chinese and Hindus pouring into the dominion. The Chinaman, he added, was fast ousting the white man in the retail fruit trade and Hindus had gained such a footing that they were now able to do a good business by hawking butter for side from door to door.
