SLOW WORK
HANDLING OF CARGO AT AUCKLAND CAPTAIN OF FREIGHTER COMPLAINS. CONTRAST WITH VANCOUVER. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A complaint that much of the profit from a timber cargo carried from Vancouver had been eaten up because of slow unloading operations at Auckland by watersiders was made by Captain Beaten, master of the Freighter Loch Don, now in Sydney. Captain Beaten said the Auckland stevedores had taken ten days to discharge a consignment of timber from the Loch Don. Only nine slings had been required to load the same cargo into the vessel at Vancouver. Captain Beaten emphasised that if tramp shipping was to compete successfully in Britain’s colonial trade, the men who handled the cargo must give a “fair deal.”
