SUICIDAL POLICY
HOLDING UP SHIPS. OVER SMALL DISPUTES. UNION SECRETARY’S COMMENT. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT. MELBOURNE, Nov. 26. The holding up of ships over small disputes is condemned in a report issued to the members of, the Marine Stewards’ Union by the general secretary (Mr. Moate), wlu> says : - “This business of one union sticking up ships over small disputes that can be settled by the application of a little horse-sense lias to stop.”_ He adds; “The Seamen’s Union is the greatest offender. It seems to have lost all consideration, for the interests of other unions. The! union’s policy of ‘on to the wharf’ over every twopennyhalfpenny row is a suicidal one. If the Seamen’s Union wants to kill that spirit of comradeship -so essential in the industrial world of workers it is going the right way to do it.”
