SETTLEMENT NEAR
DEPUTES AT NEWCASTLE GREEK SHIP TO MOVE SYDNEY, Jan. 9. Two disputes preventing the full resumption of steel production at Newcastle and Port Kembla are approaching a settlement. The Greek crew of the steamer Theofano Livanos will move the ship to-day from the ore berth, where she has been blocking the loading of 11 other vessels in Newcastle harbour. The Greeks are claiming payment for the time they were on strike in support of the ironworkers at the Broken Hill Proprietary. Their dispute has not been settled, and there will be further discussions after the ship has been moved. The Greek Consul-General said last night that the so-called Greek Seamen’s Union in Australia, which had been under strong Communist influence since its inception, was not recognised by the Greek Government.
The management of Lysaght’s has referred to the Industrial Commission the dispute which still holds up the reemployments of 700 men at Port Kembla. The matter will come before the court to-morrow.
At Newcastle 200 men have resumed working pending negotiations with the company.
