OUTLOOK NOT HOPEFUL.
LUMPERS AT LOGGERHEADS. (Received 1.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, his day. Unless the Government intervenes immediately to remove the shipping deadlock, drastic action is proposed within union circles to bring the Seamen's Union to a reasonable frame of mind. As a first step it is proposed to ask the Seamen's Union to change the delegates on the transport group. The present officers, it is stated, are fractious, intolerant and unreasonable. On account of the secretiveness of other units the transport group is almost in ignorance of the seamen's plans. If the Labour Council refuses to intervene, it is stated, a mass meeting of members of other unions will be hold to devise ways and means of enforcing the demand. The direct result on the strike position is the breaking of the united front which the officials are calling upon the unions to present.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
