JOB CONTROL? TROUBLE OVER HIMITANGI Trouble over the engagement of the crew for Messrs. Holm aud Co.’s coastal cargo steadier, Himitangi, at present completing her overhaul at Wellington, is being experienced by her owners. The vessel paid off all hands at Wellington, preparatory to undergoing an extensive overhaul, costing about £lOO9. Yesterday when the crew were asked to sign on the articles again, it was found-that three new firemen who had undertaken to join the ship did not put in an appearance at the Port Shipping Office to sign. The owners of the Himitangi were given to understand that unless the three firemen who were employed on the ship prior to her withdrawal for overhaul were reengaged, the vessel would be held up. The owners, however, claim the right to engage whom they choose, and hold that any interference with this right is a clear case of “job control” by the men. The Seamen’s Union officials were interviewed by a “Dominion” reporter on the subject, but they stated their inability to mediate in the matter. The union, they said, had no power to compel seamen or firemen to join any vessel if they had no desire to.

The Holm Company refuse to be dictated to by the men as to whom they, should employ, and as the matter stands the vessel, which is expected to be ready for sea tomorrow, is without a crew. The Himatangi’s complement comprises the captain, two mates, two engineers, a cook, a steward, five seamen, and three firemen, a total of fifteen. EASTERN CARGO SERVICE, The Union Company advise that the British India steamer Janus is to leave Calcutta on December 8, via Sydney, with cargo for Auckland and Wellington.

Gardner, Binnle and Halliburton advise that the Maui Pomare left Niue on Sunday with fruit for Lyttelton and Wellington. She is 'due at Lyttelton on December’2, at Wellington on December 4, thence to Auckland and Norfolk Island. PORT HUNTER DELAYED. The rain at Wellington yesterday delayed the loading of the C. and' D. liner Port Hunter. The vessel’s departure from this port for London, via Panama, has consequently been postponed until tomorrow. BOOKINGS FOR HOME.
