COOKS GIVE WAY
SHIPS TO BE MANNED. (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press' Assn—Copyright.) SYDNEY, June 22. The cooks made a definite move to-/ wards ending the dispute, having proposed to the ship owners that the latter may pick up cooks at any place which the owners consider desirable. This move obviates the last hitch to a settlement. It. is now expected that peace in the industry will be speedfly restored, and that all vessels, including the Ulimai roa, will be recommissioned. GARDEN COMMITTED. SYDNEY, June 22. Jock Garden (secretary of the Trades’ Council) was to-day committed for trial on all the charges, including those of alleged inciting to murder. He was allowed bail in each case.
Mr J. S. Garden, when referring to the proposal that the members of the maritime unions should, if necessity arose, be prepared to work with volunteers, rfsaid: “The ngw methods adopted in strike strategy are different to the old methods. The old method was that once a thing was declared ‘black’ the trade union movement should dissociate ■ itself from it. Tactics now are different, insofar as if the scab cooks man the vessels our tactics may change and we may supply union men, even though the scab cooks are aboard. Accidents, however, occur in the best regulated families. The new cooks will not be very good sailors, and will have to go to the railing occasionally. They may lose their balance. In. which ca.se the water is damp, the sea deep, and dead men tell nd tales.”
