THE STRIKE.
SEEKING A SETTLEMENT, SEVENTY-SIX SHIPS IDLE. THOUSANDS UNEMPLOYED, s By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 19, 9.50 p.m. Melbourne, Jan. 19. It is reported that secret negotiations are in progress for the settlement of the stewards’ strike, and that the Federal Prime Minister has been in communication with both sides for the last few days.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. Received Jan. 19, 9.50 p.m. Sydney, Jan. 19. As a result of the strike seventy-six vessels are up in the Commonwealth, rendering idle between seven and eight thousand men. The Australian owners state that early in the dispute the London directors, who control the biggest part of the ships, intimated that they had made up their minds that this would be the last of the shipping and industrial troubles in Australia, and as the Australian owners had decided to make a •final stand to secure peaceful working, the vessels were laid up and a conference with the stewards refused.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
MANUKA’S MEN TO LEAVE. NOTICE GIVEN YESTERDAY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. When the Manuka arrived at Lyttelton this morning from Sydney, via Wellington, her stewards all gave twentyfour hours’ notice. The vessel sails this evening for Wellington, where the stewards, will leave her. The men are on New Zealand intercolonial articles, and are quite within their rights in giving notice. They did not jofn cause with the Australian stewards when the Manuka was in Sydney recently, but though no explanation of their action is available it is likely they are unwilling to cross the Tasman, Sea again while the Australian strike is in progress. The Union Co. will endeavor to obtain a new complement of stewards for the vessel at Wellington.
