JAPANESE SHIP ON N.Z. RUN
Sugar Cargo From Queensland
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, Aprils 11. A foreign ship has been. chartered to bring bulk raw sugar cargoes to Auckland while three New Zealand vessels are lying idle in the port.
The ship, the Japanese tramp, Kaisho Maru, arrived this morning with 6300 tons of sugar from North Queensland. She will make future calls with sugar.
A spokesman of the Auckland branch of the Seamen’s Union said today that it had been the official policy of the union since 1905 to oppose strongly cheap labour ships. “But there is no legislative law to stop foreign ships coming into the inter-col-onial trade,” he added. A spokesman for the •_ Colonial Sugar Refining Company said the charter was signed in London. “The Kaisho Maru and an Australian ship, the Inyula which will also bring sugar, quoted a price favourable to the market,” he said. “If freights are consistently low the consumer benefits.”
