ONE SAILS WITH "FREE" CREW.
One of the vessels affected by the coastal steamer, hold-up, the Opawa, left Wellington at 2.55 a.m. yesterday, with a non-union crew. The men are stated to have been brought from Blenheim, as the- owners of the vessel, Messrs. T. Eckford and Co., were desirous of taking the vessel to that port to be painted and overhauled. The extiu man demanded by the Seamen's Union was not put on in the watch. Apart from this incident there are no further developments in connection with the trouble. The cases against Messrs. Young and Howell, charged with inciting a seditious strike, are set down to be heard by the Magistrate on Thursday. A meeting of seamen is being held in the Trades HaH this afternoon.
