SYDNEY, January G
There was a shipping dispute to-day, involving the interstate passenger vessels Canberra and Ormiston. Both were held up, and it is likely that others will, be drawn into the dispute.
The Seamen’s Union objected to a certain method of picking up its members, and called all seamen off the Canberra and Ormiston.
There are two hundred and fifty passengers stranded.
