AUSTRALIAN SEAMEN
REGISTRATION OF COASTAL UNION REFUSED. Frees Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, Australian and N.Z, Press Association. SYDNEY, July 1. (Received July 1, at 10.30 a.m.) The Industrial Registrar refused the application of the Coastal Seamen’s and Firemen’s Union and the Isow South Wales branch of the Seamen’s Union of Australia for registration as industrial unions under the Arbitration Act. The registration of the Coastal Union was opposed by the bcamen’s Union, and the other application was opposed by the Coastal Union, The Costal Owners’ Association, and the Interstate Steamship Owners Association. , TT . , In refusing the Coastal Union s application the registrar said that the evidence had established that there was control over the union by the employers. Thus the union was not genuinely representative of the employees. After considering the conduct of the Seamen’s Union since 1924 the registrar said that he felt that the union did not desire to regulate the conditions of employment by the means provided in the Industrial Arbitration Act, and would not do so if registered by a bona fide industrial union.
