THE WATERSIDERS.
POSITION AT AUCKLAND. A COAL BOAT WORKED. GAS SERVICE REDUCED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The manager of the Port of Auckland Shipping and Stevedores’ Association issued the following statement to-day: “Owing to the cargo of Natal coal on board the s.s. Cape Premier, at present lying at Auckland, having become heated, it is deemed advisable to discharge the same without further delay. The necessary labor has been engaged from the ranks of the local Waterside Workers’ Union, and the discharge of coal commenced at 1 p.m. to-day.” The gas pressure was greatly reduced to-day, and cooking, except between 4.30 and 6,30 p.m., was practically impossible. Even if the dispute is settled immediately, it will be some days before the Gas Company is able to restore normal conditions. RARAWA LAID UP. Onehunga, March 8. The Onehunga watersiders refused to work overtime yesterday, with the result that the Rarawa, trading tc New Plymouth, has been laid up indefinitely.
