KAREPO HELD UP AT DUNEDIN
* Dispute Still Not Settled By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, April 21. The dispute 'on the cargo vessel Karepo is still not settled and the vessel is still held up. It is, understood that the trouble is due to dissatisfaction on the part of deckhands in respect to certain officers in the steamer. Members of the crew stated to-day that the real cause of the dispute was that the Union Steam Ship Company had refused a request that they should be paid off on Monday morning. On the arrival of the vessel on Sunday morning they had given 24 hours’ notice of their intention to terminate their engagement. The company, however, had refused to accept notice and consequently the hold up was not the fault of the deckhands. The men stated that they did not desire to disclose the reason for their request io be paid off, but added that under certain conditions they would bo prepared to go to sea again. They claimed that their action did not constitute refusal to man the ship.
