CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND SEAMEN READY TO TAKE ACTION MELBOURNE, Monday. Tlie Federal Government has accepted the challenge of the Victorian Seamen’s Union. It has written to Mr. O’Neill, secretary of the branch, asking whether the report in the press to the effect that the union had threatened to strike against the engagement of labour supplied by the rival Seamen’s Union is true. If so, the Government proposes to take immediate action to maintain the shipping services. Mr. O’Neill has replied. His letter contains a number of veiled threats against the Government, which he accuses of partiality toward “the fewrebellious men who are prepared to cause disruption in the industrial movement of this country.” The reply otherwise gives no indication as to whether the members of Mr. O’Neill’s union intend to force a strike on the shipping companies.'
