SEAMEN AT DUNEDIN
LITTLE WOEK AVAILABLE
(BY TBLBORAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
DUNEDIN, 28th January.
Local membeß of the Federated Seamen's Union are still very much discontented with.the present position. The union officials report that they have not yet received a reply from the Marine Department a» to what is the exact position in connection with the Shipping Act. The secretary,. Mr. Clarke^ stated on Saturday that if the Shipping Act had been reinstated the Maiine' Department was not enforcing it, as otherwise the vessels would not be given their clearances unless they complied strictly with the requirements of the Act. Mr. Massey had promised that the Shipping Act would be reinstated, but had broken his piom%s. Very few men, concluded Mr. Clarke, had been fortunate. enough, to secure employment, and only a small number" had gone to Northern ports' in an attempt.to secure work.
