MAHENO HELD UP.
FIREMEN OBJECT TO COOK. STEWARDS E R 3 OPPOSITION. (Special to Dailx Times.) WELLINGTON, January 11. Owing to a dispute between the firemen and the cooks and stewards of the Union Steam Ship Company’s intercolonial passenger steamer Maheno, which was to have left Wellington at 4 p.m. to-day for Lyttelton, Dunedin, Bluff, and Melbourne, is now to leave Wellington at noon to-morrow. Shortly before the vessel was to sail to-day the firemen intimated that they refused to sail if the ship’s cook remained on board as they were not satisfied with his cooking. The stewards and cooks then stated thp.t if the cook in question were put off tlffey would refuse to sail, and, neither party backing down, a deadlock was reached. The officers of both unions intervened and tried to settle the dispute, but their efforts were without success. As it seems unlikely that the dispute will end to-night th.i vessel’s departure is accordingly postponed until noon to-morrow, by which time tho company** officials hope to reach a settlement.
