SHIPOWNERS DETERMLNED NOT ONLY" WAGES AT ISSUE. ("thi kujss.") LONDON. October 7. '"British, shippers aro disappointed ao tho Victorian Premier's statement.'' says the City editor of "The Times/' "because it conveys tho impression that the significance of the dispute is not yet, realised in high Australian quarters. Shippers do not regard the trouble as a mere wages dispute, but •as involving the maintenance of British, law. TheTe has never been such determination among all owners engaged in one trade to maintain their position in spite of heavy cost. This solidity would not exist if tho were simply one of wages.''
