ONE STEAMER AFFECTED
{By Telegraph,—Press Association.) •.'•■" ' DUNEDIN, May 3. • Though it was reported from various sources this afternoon that there seemed no likelihood of shipping trouble in. Dunedin, it was found later that the Union Company's coastal steamer Waipiata, which, was scheduled to sail this evening, could not bo cleared, as the men refused io sign on under the new articles. The ship's articles had expired, and new ones -were prepared under the conditions outlined in messages received from Wellington, and the seamen were unwilling to accept the terms, the stumbling block apparently being certain alterations to the clauses bearing on conditions. No alteration in wages or rates of overtime was proposed in the new articles. No other ship at Dunedin is affected by the situation which has arisen, the Union Company's Opihi and the motor-; vessel Holmglen sailing at their ap-1 pointed times tonight.
