Tiie crow of tho Jlaheno, which was supposed to sail at neon to-morrow, gave 24' hours' notice this mormng, and the Karitline's crow have given similar notice. Tho llakura, which was to have sailed for Newcastle for teal early today, was unablo to leave owing to a portion of her crew absenting themselves.
Though a. large crowd of wlinrfmen and seamen congregated in the vicinity of tho Union Company's wharf, every* thing was quiet and orderly. Business men view the tying up of tho New' Zealand trade? with alarm, and mu-sh inconvenience is resulting in co-m----ine reial circles. At the bi-moHthly meeting of the Kmployers' Federation tlw following cable from tho Wellington Employers' Federation was read: — "Kindly advertise that New Zealand cargo only is being handled bv Arbitration unionists. So real reason exists for Australian unionists refusing to handle it." The Federation resolved that in the interests of the general public it would co-operate with the shipping companies in securing the continuance of their service.
