COOKS’ STRIKE SEQUEL
JOHNSON IN THE DOCK HINDERING TRANSPORT (United P.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright) SYDNEY, Tuesday. The hearing was resumed to-day for the four charges against Jacob Johnson, general secretary of the Seamen’s Union, of having Induced persons employed to transport goods between the States to leave their employment and of having hindered the transport of goods between the States. The proceedings relate to the trouble with the steamers Barwon and Katoora in the recent strike of the marine cooks. In the witness box to-day Johnson said nobody had called a seaman named Rigby an offensive name. A special meeting of seamen had adopted a resolution to the effect that the crew of the Katoora should leave that ship forthwith and that provided they did so they would be exonerated from the anti-unionist action into which they had been deceived when they took the ship to sea from Adelaide without cooks. A similar resolution was passed next day covering the steamer Barwon to which Rigby belonged.
