IN AUSTRALIA.
MAUNGANUI'S CARGO HANDLED. (Received 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. At a special meeting of the Seamen's Union yesterday, a resolution was carried forbidding any member to engage himself for work on the Maunganui while volunteer labour is employed. Union Steam Ship Company's officials declare that there is not the slightest trouble in handling the cargo of the Maunganui. Everything is normal. A lone Communist attempted to address the waterside workers after the vessel's arrival, but was immediately hauled off his soap-box and arrested. There was no other incident of any character.
It is reported from Melbourne that officials of the Waterside Workers' Federation there regard as remote the possibility of the Australian waterside workers becoming involved in the New Zealand shipping dispute. No official intimation of the trouble has so far been received by the union. It was contended that the New Zealand unionists had a better chance of success by confining the dispute to the smallest area possible.
