The Board of Trade supervision makes overcrowding impossible. UNDERMANNED AND OVERCROWDED Received 5. 12.25 a.m. Sydney, January 4. Mr. Bell, organiser of the British Seamen's Union, strongly criticises the conditions on emigrant ships, and declares they are undermanned and overcrowded, and badly equipped.
