TROUBLE ON STEAMER
WAIPIATA DELAYED Press Association. - DUNEDIN, Thursday. When the Union Company’s cargo steamer Waipiata arrived at Dunedin yesterday morning from Auckland and Lyttelton, two trimmers, in accordance with notice given when the vessel left the latter port, were discharged. The trimmers objected to this action, and it is understood that a meeting of firemen and sailors was held to-day, at which it was decided that unless the dismissed men were reinstated the crew would not take the Waipiata to sea. When it was known that the crew could not be completed the waterside workers engaged in working the vessel’s cargo were ordered to cease operations. This evening the remainder of the crew was given 24 hours’ notice. Should seamen and firemen ashore and afloat decide to fill the vacancies the Waipiata will sail to-morrow.
