SHIPPING DISPUTES
POSITION IN AUSTRALIA. GENERAL STRIKE UNLIKELY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Seamen’s Union, after a mass meeting, decided to confine the present shipping disputes to the ships already involved. This decision means that there is no present possibility of two disputes —one over the demands for the dismissal of a chief steward and the other over the manning of a Govern-ment-owned ship with a naval crew — developing into a general seamen’s strike. The meeting decided to attempt to negotiate a settlement of the outstanding grievances through Mr Curtin. The Chairman of the Maritime Industry Commission, Mr Justice De Baun, said it was expected that the ships held up in a New South Wales port, over demands for the dismissal of a chief steward, would be despatched this week. It was the intention of the commission to have them manned, either with naval personnel or union seamen.
