LEAVING BRITISH VESSELS FOB HIGHER PAY. News by mail, dated Liverpool. August 17, says that, tempted by tho much higher pay offered for service on American ships, J4O soamen on White Star Line vessols alone have deserted after reaching tho United States since last May. Evidence to this effect was brought out «.t a case tried at Liverpool recently. Two men who had signed articles for a round voyago on a White Star liner from Liverpool to the United States -wore charged under the Merchant Shipping Act with deserting from the vessel at Philadelphia.

Tho prosecutor on behalf of the White Star Company, stated that tho desertion took place on July 9. Tho two men signed to sail from and return to Liverpool at the recognised rate of pay of £9 a month. It, transpired that upon deserting at Philadelphia they had transferred their services to the Anglo-American Oil Company's ship Strathfillan at the United States rate of pay, which was £18 15s. a mohth. To fill their places the White Star captain had had to eneaga two United States seamen at their rato of wages, to board them in Liverpool on nrrival, and to send them back to delphia. This cost the company £26 19s. 6d. in respect of each. man. When tho defendants deserted they did not claim the balance of wagcß due to them, forfeiting them in consideration of tho doublo wages they would receive. -They mads a voyage to Liverpool on their new ship, and proceedings were instituted on their arrival. Shipping companies were experiencing great difficulty hy the frequent desertion of men who had signed for certain periods, but were attracted by tho higher rates of pay current in tho United States. It was hoped thut a prosecution might act as a deterrent. Tlio defendants were ordered to make Rood the deiicieneies to the White Star Line, ond also to forfeit the wages which they were entitled in respect of their service on the other ship. With the approval of the Board of Trade representative present in court an arrangement was arrived at. by which the defendants agreed to sign continuous articles on another White Star liner for the duration of tho war.

The Futiki in duo here on Friday from Lyltclton, and will Bail the same day for Wancanui. Tho vessel trill return to Wellington and sail on Monday for Dun<u>;* <uid Timartt.

CASUAL* EMPLOYEES ON RVDiNTV WfIARV&S. .ImlKo Itolin in No. 2 Industrial Court, Sydney, on November 5, delivered judgment respecting the reference by' the Minister for Labour find Industry havinp for its object the fixing of conditions of employment for permanent and caEual employees engaged in Sydney wharf labour. Involved in the reference was the lccal application of the award of the Commonwealth Arbitration Court governing the conditions of the Waterside Workora' federal 1,0 In aummine up, Judge Bolln said: With the record before me of the conduct of the fiydrn# branch of the Waterside Workers' Federation, I cannot <touot that it i 6 entirely contrary to the public interest that their monopoly of work in this port should continue. If it is a question of industrial peacOj nothing, in my view, is more likely to lead to breaches than the fact that a union learns by experience the fatal leseon that no matter "what itß conduct may be, no matter what injury it may cause to the community by striking it can return to all its old privileges whenever it sees nfc. This federation has signally failed in its duty to the community. 1 lay this in answer to counsel's contention that tho Court cannot and ought not to act." KINI FOB NEW PLYMOUTH. The Union Company's collier Kini "was loaded at Grcymouth yesterday, and should have loft last nijrht for Welling* ton. A part-cargo, of coal "will bo nut out here, nnd she will sail on Wednesday for New Plymouth to discharge the balance. General cargo for New Plymouth will be taken in at Wellington.
