Sydney, August 24. The shipowners' conference at Albury was h.'ld hist night. The meeting was a thorough- representative one, delegates from every Australian company being present. The questions of general revision of ships' articles, complement of men to bo carried, rate of wages, and hours of labor were discussed, and finally left with a Board of experts to deal with. In tho matter of the demands of the Mercantile Murine Officers' Association it was unanimously agreed that no officer should be given command of a vessel if he were connected with any association affiliated to any labor organisation. It was also unanimously agreed that no free labor engaged during the strike should be discharsred at tho termination of the struggle, provided that such labor was competent and of good behavior. A letter to the Seamen's Union was drafted, which, after traversing the whole difficulty, says : —"For the owners to pay away enormous additional sums per annum simply means that vessels are to bo run at a loss, and therefore the simple alternative is not to run steamers at all. We may inform you that owners are now preparing new articles under which they will be shortly ready to offer employment, and the intended rate of wages, the hours of labor, and other conditions will be revised with a view of the more equitable and satisfactory adjustment of the relations between tho ship-owners and their employes."
