THE LARGS BAY.

STRAIGHT LEET FOR HUGHES. “A PEEVISH CHILD.” SYDNEY, June 30. Mr Walsh, replying to Mr Hughes, said that the latter was behaving more like n peevish child than a statesman. It is idle for Mr Hughes to term the seamen dupes for standing by their mate who was singled out for victimisation. Mr Walsh disclaimed having any connection with the Largs Bay dispute, and he did not know why Mr Hughes had singled him out for the attack. Apparently he (Hughes) had not got over his spleen against the Union for forcing him to spend £500,000 for bringing requirements of decency in accommodation.

SEAMEN FIRM. NO CREW FORTHCOMING. (Rec. Junp 30, 10.50 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 30. A mass meeting of members of the Seamens ’ Union reaffirmed the decision not to sail without, fhe men who were objected to by the Master of the Larg’s Bay. Further attempts to secure a volunteer crew have failed. It is understood that the Seamen’s Union intend to communicate with the Commonwealth Government, asking for a full enquiry into the dispute.
