Mr Bruce has telegraphed to Fremantle requesting police protection for the port officers required for overseas vessels.

Federal intervention is strictly confined to Fremantle, as that is the only port in the Commonwealth which is virtually closed- as a result of the seamen’s strike. SUGGESTION FOR SETTLEMENT.

The Council of the “Australian Labor Party has decided to take the matter of the disputes of the Seamen’s Union out of the hands of tho secretary of the union, and to ask the State Disputes Committee to intercede, with a view to an amicable settlement as early as possible.
