COASTAL shipping TROUBLE.
SYDNEY, Dec. 7. A dislocation of coastal shipping is threatened, the Waterside Workers' Federation having decided to declare black the coastal ships, the crews of which perform labouring work along the coast. The decision will not affect all coastal companies, as a number engage Federation men. The action has been endorsed by the Federal Committee of Management of the Federation. consequently it will apply to coastal ships in all ports of the Commonwealth. The action is regarded as reactionary move for the hostile action of seamen during the recent British Seamen’s strike, when on many occasions wharf labourers threatened to boycott coastal ships if the seamen did not desist from criticising them for not downing tools unconditionally to assist the British seamen.
