THE LUMPERS' LITTLE DIFFICULTY.

Botli Sides of tho Question Discussed,

Thrive was a crowded meeting in the billiard-room of the British Hotel last even ing, when the lumpers assembled in forco for the purpose of discussing those matters which have recently attracted considerable attention. Mr James Marshall, President, occupied the chair. Among thoso present were Captain Scotland, of the Crusader, and Messrs Nearing and Poultridge and Cap tain McKenzie, stevedores. ' Mr Browning, Secretary, explained the objects of the meeting. The Union did not wish in theslightest to interfere with the con dition of existing things, but they wanted to protect themselves v. ith regard to their position and their wages, and at the same time see they were not hurt physically. He said they should consider the subject like intelligent men, and givo their free and un prejudiced opinion, so that they could come to somo true understanding or some compromise which would be to the help and benefit, of all concerned. Mr Jno. 801 l said ho did not see that there had been any trouble at all. The "Herald" newspaper had made all the row. Captain Scotland was employing his seamen in ordor to discharge his ship as speedily as possible, and the lumpers ob jected to work with them for fear of having iheir toes chopped off by careless sailors. They (the lumpers) were hoavily taxed, and ho thought it was hard that they could not get a few shillings out of the ships which came here. Those ships never left anything in the pluce ; they would not even employ a cirpenter hero, and now an attempt was ' made to do the lumpers out of a few shillings and make them out the greatest blackguards under the sun. To show that the Union had good aims, he quoted Rule 23, viz., "That any member found pilfering, stealing, or in any way broaching cargo, may be ex pelled from the Union." Therefore, he concluded, thay should have a little con [ sideration.

Captain Scotland, who on rising was greeted with cheers, said: "Well, you labouring men, I suppose you know me of old coming here. I was accused on the wharf of employing one or two of my men and pocketing the money. I have paid many stevedores, and have never received a penny. There are two stevedores here, and they will tell you this. There is also tho man here who accused me of pocket ing the money. We, as shipmasters, go to London, and are told by shipowners that we are not to employ extra labour if we can use -the crow. One captain I knew had to * leave his ship: be cause lie could not work cargo the same as the^ Glasgow ships, which use their own crows in discharging. Our owners expect us to use our own men. We would sooner employ you, but our owners will not consent to it. I came hero last year, and my ship was £500 in debt from the voyage. For the past two years I can assure you sailing Bhip3 hare not been paying. I have a share in four largo ships, and I got £10 as interest on my money for tho past two yearn. As for going amongst the men on Friday, I did nothing- of tho sort. I asked your President to let men work on the wharf, and he replied that they would not work with my crew in any way. I am quite agreeable to meet you in any way. That is the position I am in, and as for ' riding the high horse/ it is athint; I never did in my life." Captain Nearing, at the request of Cap tain Scotland, stated that he never in his life gave Captain Scotland a sixpence for tho labourof his crew, and he had worked his cargo .several times. Captain Scotland's accounts wero paid by apents, arid lie could not take one sixpence.

Mr ITanseombo, who had made the state ment about Captain Scotland pocketing the money got for the labour of hia crew here, stated that he understood that was the usual thing, and he had now only to apolo gise. (Applause).

Captain McKenzie and Mr Poultridge, who were invited to speak, took objection to the rule prohibiting Lnion men from work ing with sailors on foreign ships. Mr Prestige said that the shipowners wanted to suit themselves, and the lumpers kad to consider whether what was proposed would suit them. If they went to work with sailors in the hold of a vessel—suppose there were two sailors and four shore men— the stevedore came down and the sailors were gone. One was after a drink of water and the other had departed for a different purpose. If they spoke to the sailors about it they asked " What has it to do with you ? Wo are not paid for this work, and you are ; wo are not fed like you shore men;" and yet tho lumpers were expected to keep the sling going, and if they did not,; would pro bably bo'told to put on their coats and go. A sailor thought nothing of breaking down a tier of cargo, and then the stevedore told the lumpers—not the sailors—to look out what they were doing, that they were there to look after these things. Just as likely the lumpers, through the carelessness of sailors, wotijd get their limbs broken. He further referred to the fact that when large steamers arrived, stevedores, were only too glad to get lumpers to work, but that when. things were dull they were expected to go up town and wait till something turned up. If they applied for work in any other trade they were told, "^e employ only Union. inen,"andwhatwere they to do? He had seen Captain ScptlajicLon, the..wharf slinging caigo. He thought a skipper was not sup posed to work cargo, and a gentleman certainly VtOuldghqve put'another man on. (ApplausC')WHe aid hot believe that the Glenlora was £500 in«debt last trip, lie knew the rates of freights, ,and while ship ping companies paid dividends he could not see that their ships wens losing money. Captain Nearingiuggested a modification of the rule previously referred to, and he was supported by Captain McKenzie apd Mr Poultridge. ■:.'.■

Mr'Batt said it wa.B a very: good rule, and it would bo well for the stevedores to look at It in tho proper light. It would make them honest men.- (Daughter); ■ A steve dore g0.63 to the captain of a ship, and the, captain . says ?'What will you give me tor my men?" The steve dore says, I'll give yon 9d an hour." Then the captain goes to another stevedore, who-oft'era Is an hour; but he is still dis satisfied, and goes to a third stevedore, who says, " I'll give you Is 2d an hour," and the skipper replies, "I'll take you." -Thatwas the way things were done. Were steve dores to do away with tho lahour of sailors, they would got better prices for their work, they would become honest men, and there would be no " undercutting." Captain Scotland said he had been coming to New Zealand ior many years, and had never got more than 6d an hour for sailors, and his owners had reaped the benefit of their labour.

After further discussion, a vote of thank* was passed to Captain Scotland and the steveaores for their attendance, and Cap tain McKenzie acknowledged the compli ment.

Subsequently the Union held a lengthy discussion on the objectionable rule, and resolved to alter it so that " For every 300 tons the Union will allow one seaman to work with Union metnbers in foreign-going vessels," and it was agreed to inform the stevedores of the alteration in the morning. Votes of thanks to the chairman and the press terminated the proceedings.

REV. LAISHLEY'S VISIT TO ENGLAND.

Lecture at the Congregational

Schoolroom,

There was a good attendance at the Con grogatlonal School-room, Beresford-street, last evening, when the Rev. R. Laishley re peated his lecture on the scenes and objects of interest during his recent voyage to Eng land. Mr Laishley'g style is easy, humour ous, and anecdotal, and he had no difficulty in sustaining the interest of the audience till the close of the discourse. He described the progress of the trip by the Suez route, which .is familiar .to our readers. Special attention, was paid, to those occurrences likely either to nmuee or instruct, which had come within Mr Laishley's own observation. He gave a graphic description of everyday life on board ship, mentipned the various pursuits which are found useful in velieving the monotony of the voyage, and deprecated the amount of betting indulged in respect ing each day's steaming distance. His opinions of each place visited en route were given in a very racy style during the pro gress of the lecture. Ho was surprised when he reached Ceylon, the scenery of that place being so exquisite that he could have profitably spent a month there. He had stood by England as the most beautiful country, but he would stand by Ceylon as the next. The four, races.of people there were> referred to at some length, and their habits and customs dwelt upon. Passing mention was made of the barren appearance of> Aden, where, not a blade of grass was to be Been. They had practically no rainfall there, and nil .tha water nsaH u?a« nKtnino^

by artificial moans, evaporation being constantly carried on. In that i placo woro to bo seen tlio lowest typo of people ho had ever met. They were scarcely human. The progross of the party through the Red Sea, which was mentioned ns being dangerous of navigation, was traced, and the lecturer then referred to Suez, where they next arrived, as boing a small dirty town, Speaking of tho Egyptians, he said he con; sidered them to bo an industrious people, but one singular fact in connection with them was that they were content to live in mud hovels. Mr Laishley caused a great denl of amusement by his description of tho manner in which these people perform their ablutions. Ho said ho saw them washing in mud-puddles, while one man, more ener getic, than tho rest, actually jumped into' one. He considered that Mount Ida, in Crete, surpassed anything he had ever seen for the grandeur of its appearance. Tra velling through Italy, he was surprised at tho 'argo plantations of olives, . and subsequently of mulberries and apricots. He had never seen a countryuso used up by cultivation as Italy. There was not a yard of ground that was not under cultivation. The olives did not presont a pleasing appear ance, as they were grey instead of green. Reference was made to the strong attach ment existing in Italy between the people and their priests. Naples, which possesses a population of 300,1100, was stated to possess very defective sanitary arrange ments, and whilo the palaces were grand,' poverty waa everywhere apparent. He saw Vesuvious in action at night like an evil eye waiting to destroy the city.) They visited the tombs of Keats and Shelley in the Protestant cemetery at Rome. Ths epitaph on Kcats's tomb,: placed there by . his own request, ww, " Hero lies one whoso namo was written in water." The rev. lecturerproceeded to en numerato the lions of Rome which' they1' visited. Ho described tho Vatican >as be-, ing a barn in comparison to St. Peter's, de nounced the extortion practiced by Italian railway officials, and then traced the progress of the s party through France. At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks was passed on the motion of Captain Daldy, vho hoped that' it would be repeated in an extended form, at any early date. „ ' .-•"'

Edited by Tiiomson W. Leys. The publisher has much pleasuro in acknow ledging reoelpt of the following testimonials from woll-known agriculturalists and otker pructical colonists on the value of tho above work:— Tho following lottor Is from Mn James Wai, lack, Hlllaido, Fapatoitoi. As ono of tho most practical and successful settlors in tho Auckland district, his opinion 1b of great value. "Sir,—l havo looked forward with a con- Bldorablo degreo of Interest to tho publication of BitKTT's Colonists' Guide, and can now say that it has far exceeded my expectations. Hardly a day passes without my finding sotno thing in its pages both interesting and lnstrue- Uvo. It Is a book that should be in every settlor's house in the colony. Tho portion devoted to farming is fall of rollable informa tion, and I have no hesitation in Baying that it U tho moat comprehensive and usof ul guide for a Now Zealand oolonUt over published." From Sir Gitonaß Gkky, K.C.B.—"My dear Sir,—l have kept in constant uso for upwards of two months Uio copy of Biiett'b Colonists' GUIDK AND CYCLOI'JRDIA OK UHKFUL KNOW lkdob, which you wero good enough to Bend mi. I havo tested It in many ways upon a great variety of usotul subjects, and am satlsllod that It Is by far the best work of the kind I have ovor scon. I feel that its merits and usefulness in re lation to all practical subject*), on which a sottier's comfort and success depend, render it a nucossarrappondago to every homo in Now Zea land. — Faithfully yours, G. G»SY. — Kawau. Januury 7th, 1884." Mb John Wallace, of Bothwoll Park, Waiuku (formerly of Flat Bush), who is ono of our earliest sottlors, and has been for many yours closely connected with every effort to pro moto tho agricultural intorests of tho Auckland district, writos as follows:— "Dear Sir,—l ha vo milch pleasure In adding my mite in warm commendation of Bkett'h Colonists' Guide. It is a book that should bo, not only in every farmer's library, but should also.bo on every colonist's book-shelf, no matter In what lino of colonial industry ho or sho may bo engaged. There is information for all. In looking uuckover a perod of 41 years' of hard colo nial work how much valuable time and money might havo bcon saved if at tho beginning suoli a fund of Information had been uvuilnblu to suirte us as is now within tho reach of all In the shajie of Urott'u Uuldo. Colonists, who desiro to be worthy of the namo, should not, from its elo gnnt appearance or the quality of the material, make It a drawing - room book, to be looked at and admired as ono would a uiuluro or a ourio; they should havo it on tho mantle-shelf, tho sofa, or the corner of the table; in fact, anywhere so that the eye of Father, Mother. Johnny, and Jenny, and even tho hclpß, may have a chance of look- Ing at it during spare minutes In tho heat of summer or tho inclemency of winter. Mr Hrett has shown pluck In bringing out suoh a book, has bix'ii exceedingly furlunato In tho selection of his contributors, and I sincerely hopo it will prove a financial success." Mr Gkorck Hni.DßJin1. Managing Director ot tho Auckland Timber Company, and a practical colon bit of long experience, writes:— "81r,—I have looked over your Settlerr' Ouiuiu. and consider it ono of tho most uuefnl and vaiunblit hooks for the New Zealand settler ever published. Tho information is so varied, and the ntlviuo ro practical. A single paragraph will often be found worth more thar the cost of the buok. Mr T. W, Hjckson, Kstate Agent, Auck land, has contributed the following:— "I havo much pleasure in stating that, having carefully examined into Kkktt's Colonists Guise, I havo no hesitation in saying I consider it good valuo for tho price asked for it, in fact, worth ton and twenty times tho money to almost anyone ongaged in rural industries. From n Pukekoho Settler. Pukokoho, December 1,18% "Dear Sir,—l havn recently boon presented ey a friend of mine with a copy of your valuable work, Tub Coi.onisT3' Guidk. It contains well written articles on nearly overy subject ot Interest to the settler, except religion, with which It does not meddle. Those articles arc evidently written by practical men, and contain the result of much oxporlence In a compact and readable form. Thus wo havo descriptions o( tho best broods of liorsee, Cattle, Sheep. Poult ry, etc., etc., for this part of the world ; and there U also a woll-made digest of such lawn of New Zoaland as arc of special interestto tho ordinary settlor; indeed, tho book is a real Vadc Mecum. and Bhould bo In the possession of every settler In tho Colony. — Yours respectfully, W. 11. MADILL." " Dkar Sm,— Having subscribed for Brett's Colonists' Guide, I beg to say that I am very pleased with It. The amount or practical infor mation contained in it Ik invaluablo. and I cin sider it tho best Ms worth jet otrered to tin Now Zealand Public. Kb. settlor or bueitnw man should be without It. J think pnhlir opinion will say that you have conferred a "ioon on the oolony by your spirited oilbrt. Tlmnkii, you personally, and wishing the publication every success, I am, Sir, yours truly, No.vi Wood." Consul Grikfik writes as follows with re ference to this work. As a gentleman of oxtcu islvoHtorart.ncqulrcme'nU.aiid acquainted with the valuable' library of practical works tor whioh wo aro indebted to the United States, his opinion is noteworthy :— " The book Is tho moat valuable vfork of the kind published in tho CoIdMBSV I havo rend overy dhaptcr in it with attention and pleasure. The extent, variety, and accuracy of It' infor mation are extraordinary. It is whnt it claims to be, a Cyolppoedla of Universal Knowledge. The Insight that it gives into the most approved methods of agriculture, tho management of li Vc stock, the dairy- infact everything pertaining to farming operations—com mend it to everyone interested in tho prosperity of tho colony. The editor has displayed most excellent tosto aud Judgment. All his ideas aro eminently broad and practical. The arrangement of tho subject matter to simply admirable. I am especially pldasod with tfto articles on vinery, flux, fruit, and hop culturp. Tlio abstract uf the local Government and land laws of this colony is the most sucelnot and intglligibic that Ims come under my observation, whilst tho printing binding, and Illustrations of tho work are Buperb?'
