FERRY FIRM BOYCOTTED
NEW MOVE IN THE SYDNEY TIMBER STRIKE CLUB BLACK-LISTS BOAT SYDNEY, Friday. A new phase of the timber trade dispute is the boycotting by the Balmain Dinghy Club of a lighterage ferry firm, Messrs. Nicholson Brothers. For many years the firm has been a liberal supporter of yachtsmen, and has provided launches for use in races in case of accident. Not only is the firm now on the black list, but a well-known boat and its crew have been disqualified because the captain, Mr. Baulkwell, accepted “black” money in the shape of Nicholson Brothers’ cheque for a prize. This the club declined, but the firm sent it to Mr. Baulkwell privately. The alleged offence of the firm is that its tugs and lighters continued to carry timber for certain other firms. It is reported that an effort is being made to induce Sydney people to withdraw business from another launch proprietor whose boats are said to have been used for carrying loyalists to and from timber yards.
