Pacific Wharfies to Meet in Conference
A CONFERENCE of waterside workers’ unions, from all countries bordering the Pacific Ocean, is being planned.
Mr. Harry Bridges, an Australian who runs the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union on the Pacific coast of America, is in charge of arrange ments.
Representatives will attend from America, Mexico, Alaska, Australia. New Zealand, Russia, China and Indonesia.
The conference might be held in San Francisco, Honolulu, Suva, or Auckland— probably Auckland.
It is understood that the conference will discuss methods to improve the lot of wharf-labourers, rather than means of speeding up work on the wharves..
