STEAMERS LAID UP. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received Oct. 4, 2.30 p.m SYDNEY, Nov. 4. As a result of the watersiders’ overtime strike, several cargo steamers will be laid up immediately, and, in order to avoid otherwise inevitable congestion in various ports, it is feared it may be necessary to lay up more tonnage. The Trolley and Draymen’s Union lias not yet been officially informed of the watersiders’ action, and its members are doing nothing in connection with the trouble. It is reported that the steamer Eerndale, of the Commonwealth Line, which does not employ bureau labour, had to refuse a cargo of 500 tons of wheat because of the attitude of the wharf labourers. This cargo, will Ire carried by some other vessel and loaded by bureau labour.
