It is considered on the waterfront that the seamen have come very near to repeating the grave error which they made when they refused duty on the Newcastle and Hunter River Company's ships in 1924. Many have had to stand idly - by watching; volunteers mail these ships ever since. A notable feature of the dispatch of all steamers manned by volunteers is that they are being loaded by members of tho Watersiders' Federation.

SYDNEY, March 3.
A largely attended meeting of the Waterside Workers' Federation decided not to handle cargo on coastal vessels manned by volunteer crews. The coastal companies will now be forced to engage volunteer wharf labour. In the meantime, the ships continue to sail manned by volunteer crews.
