WATERSIDE DISPUTE.
UNLOADING OF A BARQUE. TROUBLE CONCERNING SYSTEM. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Trouble developed to-day in connection with the unloading of the Scales barque Rona, which had a narrow escapa when she ran on the pinnacle rocks while entering the harbor last Sunday week, and was subsequently removed to Miramar, where her coal cargo was to bd discharged.
The dispute which has now arisen, concerns the use of the Burton block, an unloading device which has figured in wharf disputes for a long time. The men engaged ceased work, and Mr. W< H. G. Bennett (manager of the Cooperative Employment Association), Mr« T. Glover (president) and Mr. J. Laurenson (acting secretary) of the Waterside Workers’ Union, went out to Miramar in order to investigate the grieve ance. It is understood that the mert have agreed to work the Rona under protest, as the vessel has to go on the slip at a certain date.
