SHIPPING STRIKE.
London, June 27. Confusion is prevalent in the shipping strike, due to the ship owners negotiating with seamen independently of other ports. Many owners are urging the Shipping Federation to abandon its policy of non-intervention and to formulate a fixed scale of wages. If this is not accepted then the Federation should instruct ship owners to lay up their ships. Tom Mann states that sixty-five per cent, of the shipping firms at Liverpool have already granted the advance in wages, including the Gulf line. The crews of three Peninsular boats at Tilbury have struck. The carters and dockers at Liverpool have joined the strike. The Pacific line has conceded the seamen’s and firemen’s demands for an increase. The dockers at Manchester and the Tyne have struck and a fleet of colliers on the Tyne is idle. Shipping at Sunderland also is paralysed. A thousand dockersjat Glasgow have struck. Representatives of forty-one coasting and ship-owning firms met at Newcastle and rejected the the demands for an increase.
