SHIPPING DISPUTE.
LITIGATION PROCEEDING. BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT MELBOURNE, March 11. The High Court commenced the hearing of the application by the Australian Shipping Board for an injunction against the Seamen’s Union, restraining the union from committing breaches of the seamen’s award. The application arose out of the question of .the seamen refusing to man the Commonwealth Line steamer Dilga because a number of the members of the original crew of the Fordsdale, _ who had been expelled from the Seamen’s Union, had been engaged on the Dilga. Before the Arbitration Court the Commonwealth -Steamship Owners’ Association applied for the insertion of a penalty clause in the waterside workers’ award, providing that when two or more members the union combined in refusing to offer themselves for work the union should pay £SO to the employers for each offence. Mr Justice Powers said this was quite contrary to the spirit of the Arbitration Act and be added that the matter could stand over till a new application was made.
