THE LARGS BAY
ULTIMATUM TO UNION SHIP MUST BE MANNED TO-DAY. (Received July 1, lp.ro:) ' . SYDNEY, This Day. A mass meeting of seamen passed a' resolution asking for an inquiry into, the cause of the dismissal of the boatswain of the Largs Bay. The request was telegraphed to Melbourne, and a reply has been received refusing the request and reaffirming the Government's intention to choose its own crew. An ultimatum was also' issued stating that unless the union mans the ship unconditionally by noon on Saturday, all tho Commonwealth, vessels will be laid up as they arrive. The, Commonwealth fleet consists of forty-three vessels, with six hundred officers and engineers and four thousand seamen. It is thought that in tho event of a general hold-up, the vessels will, in fnture, be placed under English articles, under which the cost of running them will bo considerably lower.
