RETURN TO HOME PORT CLAIMED
COOKS AND STEWARDS' DISPUTE
|Pir United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, June 18. Consequent on the action of the master of the Monowai in giving 24 hours’ notice to the cooks and stewards, a dispute Las arisen in regard to the payment of wages to those men not domiciled in Wellington. The men did not sign off the Monowai, but were discharged by the master giving 24 hours’ notice of the termination of the service of the men on the ground that they had refused to obey his lawful command, and had combined to impede the voyage of the ship. The men, on tho other hand, state that, consequent on the action of fortyfour cooks and stewards giving statutory notice, the vessel was shorthanded, and failed to comply with the provisions of the Shipping and Seamen’s Act, in that it did not contain a galley cook; and, therefore, if they had proceeded to sea, a breach of the Act would have been committed. They therefore claim that they are entitled to bo sent back to their homo port at the expense of the company, according to _ tho endorsement on ” the ship’s articles.
Twenty-six of the men belong to Syddey, sixteen to Auckland, and two to Dunedin. The forty-four who gave notice all have their homes in Wellington.
