SHIPPING TROUBLE.
[Australia & N.Z, Cable Association., MORE TROCHEE IX AUSTRALIA. (Received this day at 10.0 a.in.) .MKUSOCKN'K. August. 18. The steamer Marra'vali, belonging to the lliilymau Lino, is held up at Melbourne (living to the refusal of the .Seamen’s Union to supply a crew. The Commonwealth Steamship Owners Association takes a serious view of the. matter and contends that by refusing to supply a crew, the seamen have broken the agreement which they signed on the sixth. The trouble arose when the Marrawah returned to Melbourne from Tasmania. The chief engineer dismissed two liremcn who it is alleged, were unsuitable. They were given 24 hours’ notice and offered live days’ wages in addition to overtime, which was accepted. A call was then made by the Coy. for two other men, but although over one hundred men were present there was no response, the I 11 ion officials demanding the reinstatement of the firemen or that they he given 14 days’ pay. This the Company refused. When further calls had the same result the remainder of the crew wore paid off and the dispute will now probably be referred to tlie Conciliation Hoard as provided by the agreement.
