SEAAIEN’S UNION. The largest meeting of the Seamen’s Union ever held in AVellington took place yesterday morning, but no information was available as to what transpired. One member of the union stated that there is a good deal of dissatisfaction with the present position and the management of affairs, and said he would not be surprised to find that the next move would come from a group who were beginning to mutter, not loud, but deep, at the trap the seamen were led into. Something good, he said, was expected to come out of the meeting of the Federation of Avatersiders in Auckland, but they seemed to act only in dumb show.
