SEAMEN’S DISPUTE.
LARGS BAY WITHOUT CREW. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 27, 11.15 p.m. Sydney, June 27. A stop-work meeting of the Seamen’s Union discussed the trouble on the steamer Largs Bay, and a resolution was adopted that a man objected to by the Commonwealth Line must be reengaged on the vessel, unless a satisfactory reason were given by the master for not re-employing him. The secretary of the union stated that the union did not wish to introduce job control; itonly wanted justice for each member of the crew. A further attempt to engage a crew was unsuccessful. The schooner Abemama, which arrived at Clarence River from Auckland on May 17, has been held up since for want of a crew, the men claiming that the equipment of the vessel was not up to standard. The owners despatched a new crew, and deny that anything is wrong with the equipment. They state that several of the crew have been ill, and others had not wanted to make a voyage to New Zealand.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
