WORKLESS SEAMEN.
MEN FROM BRITISH SHIPS. PUNEDIN COMPLAINTS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. There are about 100 unemployed seamen in Dunedin. It is said that this situation has partly been caused by the practice of bringing seamen out from; Home and discharging them here. The Seamen's Union considers that the shipping companies trading between Bri- | tain and New Zealand should not be allowed to discharge extra hands in the ' Dominion, but be compelled to return! them to the port where they joined. i There is little prospect of sufficient ' vessels being recommissioned to absorb i the men now out of work. There have . not been so many seamen out of employ- ' ment in the Dominion since IS9O.
