INTERSTATE SHIPPING
SEVERAL STEAMERS HELD UP
IS IT JOB CONTROL AGAIN*
(United Press Association. —Copyright.) SYDNEY, 7th September.
There has been a recurrence of trouble in connection with intcr-Stato shipping, as the result of tho action on the part of seamen, which the owners regard as an attempt to reintroduce job control. Lately several steamers havo been held up at Sydnoy, Melbourne, and elsewhero through firemen absenting themselves from duty and other similar causes.
To-day the crew of the Howard Smith steamer Bombala wero paid off owing to trouble with tho firemen. Tho sailing of the Kawatiri for Fiji was considerably delayed, and the Holymari liner Marawah is tied up at Melbourne.
The owners claim that these delays are breaches of the agreement between tho Commonwealth Steamship Owners' Association and tho Seamen'a Union, signed ia August, 1925, They are considering possible action in the matter.
