FORMING GREAT COMBINE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, December 5.

PREMATURE STATEMENT.)
Auckland, Thursday
The secretary of the Auckland branch of the Seamen's Union states that the announcement; of the amalgamation of Australia and New Zealand is premature. The conference of Australia and New Zealand to consider the question will not be held until March. _ The Auckland branch was not enthusiastic, inasmuch as it is proposed that New Zealand centres should become sabbranches and the finances pooled. The branch had passed a resolution strongly to oppose any move in this direction; it also resolved to advise New Zealand delegates to act carefully in view of New Zealand having preference to unionists, which was not included in the Australian award.
