SEAMEN'S MEETING.
, i SOME LIVELY INTERLUDES. PORT COMMITTEES WANTED. MELBOURNE, January 27. Lively proceedings marked tbe monthly stop-work meeting of the Victorian branch of the Seamen's Union. The shipowners' letter was considered. After a long discussion it was resolved that the committee of management, as representing the union, should approach the shipowners and again put forward the suggestion that conciliation committees should be appointed at every port to deal with and reach a final understanding respecting each dispute as it arose. Tbe general secretary (Mr. Raeburn) said that it is impossible for a committee sitting in 'Melbourne, perhaps 500 miles from the scene of the dispute, to interpret the cause properly. The meeting agreed to inform the owners that it disclaimed the practice of any job control. A statement that an example should be made of those who delayed the ships through being drunk was greeted with loud cheers.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
