STEWARDS’ STRIKE.

BOTH SIDES DETERMINED. TRANSPORTATION OF NEW ZEALANDERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, Jan. 11. A communication from Mr. Hughes confirmed the statement that he declined to appoint a tribunal unless requested by both parties. The decision is consequence of the stewards’ action in resorting to a strike and causing great inconvenience and hardship. It is believed in shipping circles that a move is on foot to force Government intervention by stop-work meetings and threat of a general strike, failing which coal supplies will be cut off. The owners are still determined not to negotiate until the strikers return to work. Upwards of a thousand people desirous of reaching New Zealand are held up at Sydney. About 360 are New Zealanders on business or pleasure. There are also many immigrants. Over 300 met at the Town Hall under the presidency of Mr. Joseph Lewis, of Wellington. It was announced that Mr. Blow, New* Zealand Government agent, had done all in his power to assist and move the Dominion Government to send a vessel to Sydney It is also suggested that Mr. Hughes be requested to provide a cruiser for the purpose of carrying passengers to New Zealand, but nothing will be done in this direction till a reply is received from Mr. Massey- to a request for a special passenger steamer. The Lord Mayor is providing a room at the Town Hall for the convenience of New Zealanders. Mr. P. Kenny, secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association, states that accommodation has been, found for all except 100 New Zealand immigrants.
