There are many applicants, but some selection according to skill is necessary. At Pareora some free men knocked off in sympathy with the unionists. No difficulty is anticipated in getting free men. The steamer Zealandic came in yesterday to load 30,000 carcases, some tallow, etc. The watersiders would .not turn to in the afternoon, and said that they were waiting instructions from the headquarters of the Federation. The snme reply being given this morning, the ship's agents gave them till noon to make up their minds. The iinion. not being prepared to answer at noon, free labor was called for. There were plenty of applicants to form a gang, some prominent business people taking oh" their coats to set an example. Those in au-. thority state that for inexperienced men they got through the afternoon's work with creditable expedition in loading cased goods and carcases, passing the latter into the hold and stowing in very good time per truck.
