WORK AND WAGES.
A TIMARU CASE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Timaru, Last Night. The steamer Hurst arrived in the roadstead early this morning and lay off outside till 4 p.m., owing to a difference between the agents and the Waterside Workers regarding the rate of pay for unloading bulk superphosphate, her cargo from Japan. Some months ago an agreement was arrived at with the men by which they undertook to discharge such cargo at Is fld per hour. To-day they demanded '2s, with 3s overtime to 10 p.m., and 4s thereafter. As the vessel is on time charter, and nothing else could be done, the agents had to agree to the men's terms, and the discharge will begin in the morning. The union officials charge the New Zealand Employers' Association with avoiding a conference on the subject of handling bulk manures.
