(Australian & N.Z. Cable Assn.) PACIFIC FLIGHT. MELBOURNE, December 3. ■ Captain Williams has departed from Cooktown on his homeward flight. COAL DEARER. SYDNEY, December 4. Consequent on the recent increase in freight on coal in New South Wales, the selling price was increased ninepence a ton. WATERSIDERS’ STRIKE. MELBOURNE, December 4. Having disregarded Judge Beeby’s offer, the Watersiders’ Federation is now making efforts to effect agreements with the different shipping companies by direct negotiation. Already, agreements have been reached with two of the smaller companies. The watersiders claim that heavy losses are being sustained by both shipowners and shippers, owing to the strike. Delays in sailings of steamers from various Australian ports are frequent, some being four days behind schedule. Several coastal vessels are laid up and the crews paid off.
