THE SHIPPING STRIKE
PLENTY OF LABOUR OFFERING COLLAPSE EXPECTED Press Association —By Telegraph—Oopyright. SYDNEY, Juno 12. A steady supply of volunteers attended the various shipping offices at Sydney to-day seeking employment, and sufficient were secured to_ enable the owners to arrange for the immediate despatch of several steamers which have been tied up for some days. The Mildura has not yet gone, but she is anchored at Kirribillie with Queensland cargo aboard. Melbourne reports state that the union put pickets on when a call was made to-day for seamen, and prevented 150 from offering to engage. The Victorian seamen hejd a mass meeting, and passed a resolution not to man any ship on which non-union cooks or other labour is employed. Opinion on tho waterfront in Melbourne is that the strike will collapse in a few days.
