PIG IRON DISPUTE
EXTENSION TO SYDNEY « REFUSAL TO LOAD 'SHIP FOR JAPAN. CHINESE CREW INVOLVED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) . SYDNEY, December 12. The Port Kembla pig iron dispute is still unsettled. A conference on the subject began in Melbourne today between members of the Trades Union Council and the Federal Attorney-Gen-eral, Mr Menzies, who is responsible for the wharf licences decree. Further talks will take place tomorrow. Mr Menzies today informed the Press that the Government had no intention of deviating from its attitude of compelling licences to be taken out by men seeking work on the waterfront at Port Kembla. The trouble extended to Sydney today when watersiders refused to load several rail trucks of pig iron aboard the Eastern liner Nellore bound for Japan. The crew of this vessel, who are all Chinese, also refused to take the ship to sea if pig iron were loaded on it.
CARGO FOR SHANGHAI.
INSTRUCTIONS TO WATERSIDERS BY OFFICIALS.
(Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day.
Union officials have instructed the Sydney waterside workers to load pig iron aboard the Nellore, as they have been assured it is intended for Shanghai and not for Japan.
