CREW DISPUTE ON COLLIER KARTIGI
(P.A.) WELLINGTON. June 4. Reports of the dispute on the collier Kartigi at Auckland were misleading, according to a statement issued by the secretary of the New Zealand Institute of Marine and Power Engineers, Mr. W. Sommerville.
He said "the reports were misleading in that reference was made to members of the engine-room staff, and for the information of the public and those not familiar with such matters, 1 would like to make .it clear that the engineroom staff comprises engineer officers and ratings, and that engineer officers are not in any way involved in connection with the dispute as the public 'might gain from press reports.
"It is the stokehold ratings who question the quality of carpet supplied for handrags, not the engineer officers.”
