OVERSHADOWED.
PRESENT FERRY TROUBLE. There nre no fresh development (or». cord in tlio dispute Ixjtween the Weiling(on Harbour Ferries Company and its employees, over wages and working conditions. Both pn.rt.uv—the l'crries Company and the Federation of Labour, which has taken up the ease on behalf of the ferry employees—are evidently holding back ponding the outcome of tho watorsidors' conference, now silting. If the bijj {dripping companies, whoso representatives ave now conferring with tho federation delegates, arrive at ;m understanding, and conclude an agreement, it is highly probable that tho Ferries Company will consent in its turn to negotiate with that organisation, instead of insisting that the case shall bo referred to the Arbitration Court. From a conversation which a Dominion reporter had last evening with the federation organiser (Mr. ]?." Semplc) it was plain that ho considered that the ferries dispute- should stand over until the larger business engaging tho attention of the present 'conference has Ixwi settled. JIo remarked thai if tho big shippimr companies came to an agreement with tho federation there should be nothing to prevent the Ferries Company doing so.
