DISPUTE AT OAMARU. By Telegraph—Press Association. Oamaru, Friday. A dispute between the laborers and, the Union Company's foreman this, morning with respect to putting on men to work the Koromiko led to a number refusing to work. The men allege that the foreman showed favoritism to some who attended the Ivurow races yesterday, in spite of the fact that work had to be done on the wharves,- by putting them on to the forward hatch, his method of calling being different from that usually employed. Efforts were macte at conciliation throughout the morning, but without avail, and the forward hatch only of the Koromiko is being worked. The workers recently formed a water-' side worker# union, and the position will be considered at a meeting of the union to-niglit. The boat has 950 tons ,of coal to discharge. Wellington, Last Night. The Oamaru wharf laborers' dispute has been amicably settled.
