WATERSIDERS’ DISPUTE.
FURTHER EVIDENCE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Sept. 21. The Arbitration Court took evidence in the watersidere’ case to-day relating to lightering at Gisborne and Napier. A witness from Napier and a leading hand on the ocean liners said he got 5s a week more than the ordinary hand and Gd an hour extra for working wool and tallow. His average wages in 1921 were £4 0s Gd per week, and in 1922 to the end of August £4 17s.
Mr. Nicholas Saunders, Auckland, said no threats of holding up work or going slow had been made there. He was of the opinion that waterside work was done better now than before the war, at any rate as well.
Owing to the unlikelihood of the waterside case ending this week, Mr. Justice Frazer announced the postponements of other cases for the week. The wool and grain storemen to September 28; painting trades October 2,3, and 4; the engineers’ case was deferred till the court returns from Auckland, where the sitting begins on October 16.
