So far there has been no interference by strikers.

There are now twenty vessels tied up at Port Adelaide. Free labour was engaged for several other vessels, but work did not commence immediately. At Brisbane, work is again at a complete- standstill on the waterfront, and Brisbane is faced with a potato. famine, although several thousands bags of imported potatoes are on tho idle ships.

Tho waterside workers at Newcastlo refused to accept work under the new award, and the port is idle.
