SEAMEN REFUSE TO MAN TUGS
HANDLING OF DUTCH • SHIPS (Rec. 11 p.m.) SYDNEY. July 27. Seamen have refused to man tugs to move the Dutch ships Grootekerk. at Brisbane, and Tjibesar, at Melbourne. The Grootekerk is in Moreton Bay. and cannot get to the wharf without tugs, but the Tjibesar can sail from Williamstown if a pilot is provided. Officials of the Port Phillip Sea Service say that pilots will take the ship nut in spite of threats. The Seamen’s Union, which has declared all Dutch ships black, threatens to black-list any Pilot who takes the Tjibesar to sea. This would mean that seamen "in the Pilot steamers would refuse to take a Pilot off or carry him in future.
