WATERSIDE WORKERS.
ARBITRATION COURT CASE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Sept. 7. The Arbitration Court resumed the hearing of the watersiders’ dispute. J- Kenny, secretary of the Napier Harbor Board, produced returns of cargo handled at Napier. In 1914 the average per hour per hatch was 15 tons; in 1920, 114 tons of cargo was landed at the breakwater from two steamers; in 1921 the average was 11.9, and in three months of 1922, 13.21 tons per hatch per hour, showing a slight improvement for the last three months mentioned. These figures showed that less work was done on the same ships by the same number of men in later years and a substantial increase in cost, but there had been an improvement in the last 12 months.
