THE SHIPPING STRIKE.
RENEWAL OF TROUBLE. FREE LABOUR FOR PORT DARWIN. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) GISBORNE, this day. Further trouble developed in repaid to the striking seamen who came from Wellington to join the Port Darwin. After several delays the men were taken aboard the ve33el, but subsequently declined to work, and returned ashore, giving as the reason that they would not work with free labourers. The seamen concerned were formerly members of the crew of the Arawa, and were imprisoned at Wellington. Upon release they were brought to Gisborne. to form part of the crew of the Port Darwin, which came direct to Gisborne from Sydney, where she was held up by the strike, and was partially manned by free labour. Several of the strikers to-day found work with local watersides. It is stated by the agents that the sailing of the Port Darwin will not be affected by the desertion of the strikers.
