Wellington, Lust Kight. Rumors of dissatisfaction amongst the tally clerks on the Wellington water- * ■ front have bfen current during the last , V few weeks. Investigation shows tho reports to be correct. A union of clerk* was registered three weeks ago, and it great deal of discontent arisen through alleged victimisation by employer* of several prominent n'.emher& of the new union. Tlio latter is now inviting the employers to v a conference at as early • a date as possible. The men allege that a few favorite elerkg arc securing all ' ' the work to the exclusion of others, and they now seek proper sharing of. tho *' work by all members of tho union. De- '' ■ velopments of the trouble arc likely to ' \ be interesting. THE LYTTELTON WIIATWES. . ~' ™—-. j Christchurch, Last Night. '. Mr. J.
