BLACK SHIP.
CREW LEAVE FORDSDALE. SY OABLtI—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT Received, July 22, 10.15 a.m. ADELAIDE, July 22. Owing to local influence in the direction of treating the Commonwealth steamer Fordsdale as a black ship, the executive of the Port Adelaide Trade and Labour Council interviewed the crew in an effort to bring about a settlement of the trouble between the New South Wales branch of the Seamen’s Union and the crew of the ship. No- men accepted engagements when attempts were made to pick gangs of watersiders to discharge the cargo. The. crew of the vessel agreed to. place themselves in. the hands of the Sydney branch of the Seamen’s Union and to leave the ship at that port. The crews of the tugs refused to handle the tow lines of the Fordsdale, which was then brought from anchorage to the wharf by a pilot.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
