INDUSTRIAL UNREST.
MEAT PORTERS' STRIKE. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright. Received October 12, 12.30 a.m. London, October 11. Trade unionist porters, handling imported meat at Liverpool docks, struck for higher wages. They unloaded and scattered the meat in the streets. THE SHEARERS' DISPUTE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, Tuesday. The shearers' dispute came before Mr. Triggs (Conciliation Commissioner) said assessors at a meeting of the Conciliation Council this morning in the form of an application by the Otago Shearers' Union for an award governing the wages for shed hands. The parties were unable to come to an agreement. Mr. McManus, one of the assessors for the Union, said if the dispute were unsettled a squatter might find difficulty in getting shearers to go out. He charged sheepowners with coming to the Council in an unconciliatory spirit. The Commissioner said that no recommendation having been made by the assessors, the dispute would be referred to the Arbitration Court.
