Shipping Dispute Possible
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) <Rec. 7 p.m.) SYDNEY, April 1. The arrival of a new ship for the Australia-New Zealand timber trade, the 3500-ton Abel Tasman, with a British crew may cause the reopening of a longstanding dispute between shipowners and Australian martime unions Maritime union policy, supported by a recent Australian Congress of Trade Unions decision, is that ships built overseas for the Australian trade must be delivered by Australian crews. Present crew of the Abel Tasman will be paid off today. Three other ships delivered to Australia in similar circumstances in the last 12 months could not obtain crews and were tied up in Sydney for weeks.
