SYMPATHY WITH SEAMEN.

OTHER UNIONS CONSIDER POSITION.

DOCKSIDE "WORKS TO CLOSE. (by cahlr—rr.rss association- cortiuanT.'! (AUSTRALIAN AND 5.2. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received July 3rd. 10.30 p.m.) SYDNEY. July 3. Mr Lang (Premier of New South Wales) is making desperate efforts io reopen negotiations with Mr Bruce (Federal Prime Minister) with a view to settling tho shipping dispute, but there does not seem to be much promise of his intervention bearing fruit. An "industrial peace r ' meeting of the Marine Transport Group and employees of tho Morts Docks and Engineering Co. decided not to work tho Hunter, tho employees of the dock stating that they had no dispute with the dock' management, but. being unionists, would stand by the working class and say: Until union labour was employed on the Hunter, they would not work the steamer. Tho works, according: to tho management's ultimatum, will now close on Monday, rendering idle 1515 members.

The crew of tho Huddart Parker steamer Zealandia have handed in notices, no reason being given. The Federal representatives of tho unions interested in tho shipping dispute will meet on Monday, when their attitude towards the troublo will bo declared. At this meeting tho gas ana electric lighting employees will also announce their decision. MEETING OF DOCK HANDS. CONVENED INDEPENDENT OF UNION. (Received July 4th, 1.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, July 3. It is gathered that the meeting at Mort's Dock had no vital hearing upon the main issue of the shipping dispute, and that tho meeting was attended by a number of men not employed at tho dock and that the Marine Transport Group, which called tho meeting, had no authority to call the men off the job. No officials from the unions cou- ! ccrncd addressed the-meeting, which did not represent tho Mort's Dock employees. When tho bell rang for the resumption of work most of. the employees resumed. With reference to the steps Mr Lang might take to settle the whole shipping trouble, it is generally agreed in union circles that no single State Premier can do anything, because the i deadlock already touched three States and the remaining three must become embroiled at an, early date. It is stated that the shipowners intend to discard the defunct award immediately, not awaiting the expiration of articles.
