Jtssodanoa Rec April 28, 11.30 a.m. Sydney, April 28 The Hobson’s Bay dispute reached a head, when the chief officer selected fifteen deck hands not included in the Union’s ballot. Mr Johnson, assistant secretary of the Seamen’s Union accompanied forty-five men selected by the union and approached the signing-on table, and prevented each member of the fifteen signing. The ship’s officers thereupon ordered Mr Johnson from the ship. The latter appealing to the forty-five men, said : “This is the first time an official of the union has been ordered from a ship. I am going. You may follow.’’ All left. The full complement of cooks, bakers, and stewards signed on, but not a deck hand or firemen. It is anticipated that in consequence of the trouble the vessel will not sail on time.
