MANUKA DETAINED, ffiec. May 23,-0.45 a.m.)
Sydney, May 22.
A deadlock Tiae arisen over the compulsory ballot. A epeoial meeting of the Seamen's Union considered the matter, and. decided that as a strike existed in more.than one State it was now a. Federal matter, and the New South Wales section could not therefore be-compelled to take the ballot'. The scrutineers appointed by the Department of Industries tn act for the seamen have refused to act. The Karori and Atua have arrived from New Zealand. The crew of the former Rave twenty-four hours' notice. The Kanna's crew also gave notice,'expiring to-morrow; but it is hoped to get her awav before the notice expires. The Mnnnka was dne to have sailed this afternoon, but was delayed, partly owing to the heavy rain,_ and also to n number of her crew giving notice.. It is hoped to get her away early in the morning.—Press Assn. .', ■' .. • ' .
