THREE VESSELS DELAYED 20 CIGARETTES DAILY INSUFFICIENT (P.A.) AUCKLAND, December 22. The negotiations between the. crew and the local agents of the Canadian ship Sunnyside Park, in connection with the dispute which _ began yesterday morning over the cigarette ration aboard broke' down in the afternoon, and the men again refused to sail, the vessel being still at the King's wharf to-day, with its despatch still uncertain. • The vessel was to have sailed for Lyttelton yesterday. The crew, however, refused to sail, alleging that the issue of , cigarettes, 200 every 10 days for . each man, was insufficient. The trouble spread to two other Park line vessels, the Mount Douglas Park and the Mount Robson Park, which are discharging wheat. On all three ships this morning only essential work was done, and their sailing dates are uncertain.
