THE TEES DISPUTE
NOW IN GOVERNMENT’S HANDS. CREW TO BE PAID OFF. (By Telegraph—Press Association). CHRISTCHURCH, April 23. Despite a settlement of the original dispute on the Chathem Islands steamer Tees, the vessel did not sail at 7 o’clock last night as scheduled. Three firemen gave notice late yesterday afternoon of their wish to sign off, and the managing director of the company immediately gave instructions for the crew to be paid off. The departure of the vessel has now been held up indefinitely, and the men will be paid off on Tuesday. As today is a bank holiday, agents of the company approached Mr T. H. McCombs, M.P., who tried to get the Minister of Labour, the Hon H. T. Armstrong, to come to Lyttelton, but this was not possible. The agents have also got into touch with the secretary of the New Zealand Seamen’s Union, Mr F. Walsh. The settlement of the dispute is now 'in the hands of the Government, and Mr McCombs is still negotiating with the Minister.
