SHIPPING DISPUTE.
TROUBLE WITH UNION. By Telegraph.—Press Asan.—Copyright. Sydney, April 28. The Hobson’s Bay dispute reached a head when the chief officer selected 15 deck hands not included in the union’s ballot. Mr. Johnson, assistant secretary of the Seamen’s Union, accompanied* by 45 men selected by the union, approached the signing-on table and prevented each member of the 15 signing. The ship’s officers thereupon ordered Johnson from the ship. The latter, appealing to the 45 men, said: “This is the first time an official of the union has been ordered from a ship. I am going, you may follow.” All left. The full complement of cooks, bakers and stewards signed on, but not deck hands and firemen.
Tt is anticipated that, in consequence of the trouble, the vessel will not sail on time.
Received April 28, 10.15 p.m. Sydney, April 28. The chief officer of the Hobson’s Bay has signed on with a full crew of seamen except two. The engagement of the* engine-room complement is also proceeding satisfactorily, and the skipper is quite confident the steamer will sail to time.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
