SHIPPING STRIKE. 400 SEAMEN OUT OF WORK. Christchurch, Last Night. The strike is affecting the tradespeople of Lyttelton pretty badly as the idle seamen until last week were receiving no financial support from their union. It is understood that destitute unionists are now being paid their board after they have been idle for one month, or tobacco and food in cases where the men are “baching” or camping. It is estimated that between 300 and 400 seamen are idle at Lyttelton, in addition to a fairly large number who are living at Christchurch. They seem to take the strike in rather an unconcerned manner, being confident that in the end they will benefit and go back to work under the conditions of the old award, with the new rates of pay under the recent award. Naturally some of the married men are feeling the pinch and are anxious to see the trouble ended.

FULL SERVICE WITH VOLUNTARY LABOUR. Wellington, Last Night. The Union Company has announced that it has now arranged for a full service between Australia and New Zealand. The Company states that there will be no further delay. The Whangape will not leave till Thursday, owing to loading operations. The ex-members of the Moeralei's crew have been released after serving their sentences. They refused to express any opinion on the dispute.

MOERAKI’S TROUBLES. Auckland, LaO Night. The Moeraki arrived from Sydney to-day with 276 passengers and the largest cargo carried by an intercolonial vessel for many months. The si earner was originally scheduled to sail on November 9th, but the trouble arose over replacing three stokehold hands who were paid off. The stakeholders refused duty and were arrested and sentenced to ten days’ imprisonment. The mails and 172 passengers were disembarked and the remainder of' the crew stayed on board the vessel in the stream. Last week volunteer stokehold hands were engaged but the deck-hands refused to sail with them. The deck-hands were then arrested and sentenced to seven days’ gaol. Their places were taken by volunteer seamen, mostly unemployed Britishers kept in readiness.
