Young, representing the Seamen’s Federation. said he understood from the judgment of the court in the Auckland waterside foremen’s case versus Union Steamship Company that preference would not be granted a union that had a rule empowering it to impose a levy on its members. The executive, anticipating sueh action be : ng taken, had passed a resolution deleting the levy charge from the rules of the organisation on the court intimating that preference would be granted. Owing to the movements of ships it had been found impossible to hold meetings of seamen at night. He maintained that holdui',’ stop-work meetings in the day time had resulted in tnc removal * of much misunderstanding: These meetings were imperative in the interests of members of the Federation and also of the shipowners.
