Sydney, Thursday. The wharf labourers say that they won't work the Tahiti owing to the fact that , she touched at New Zealand. : The combined unions conference is still sitting. Mr Hughes says that he has cabled to Now . Zealand asking whether the published statement that the strike was on the verge of collapse is correct. The Maheno's cargo, which was very light, was handled by the permanent staff. The coaltrimmers at Newcastle refused to fill th 6 Maheno's bunkers, and the crew and office staff had to undertake the work. Steamers have been chartered to carry coal to the Dominion, including l two Japanese, two South African, and several English cargoes.
