SHIPPING TROUBLES.
UNION RESPONSIBILITY
IS PREVENTION POSSIBLE
LONDON, Nov. 24
In view of the grave disturbances which have occurred in Dominon ports, the city editor of The Times says, shippers naturally are beginning to consider how serious interferences with the maintenance of their services can be avoided once normality has been re-es-tablished.
It is recognised that much will depend on amicable relationships with the employees j and it is suggested that the unions might in future be willing to enter into an Agreement lor the payment of compensation for loss in the event of tjie failure of its member® to carry out the contracts. It is even mooted that a form of insurance might be invoked to cover the risk. But whatever may be the precise solution, it is certain that until the risk of the collapse of contracts has been wiped out It will tend to restrict extensive shipbuilding developments, especially by British companies, whe already have been made seriously poet-. er by the losses suffered during recent months. __
