OVERTIME STRIKE
♦ TROUBLE MAY SPREAD. INVOLVING THE SEAMEN DECLARING SHIPS BLACK. BY CABLE- PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. SYDNEY, Nov. _ 28. _ The prevalent waterside opinion is that unless a settlement is .reached before Wednesday, the result of the shipowners’ .ultimatum may be that the Waterside Federation committee will declare all overseas and inter-State ships black, thus involving the seamen. The waters iders claim that the trouble can he averted if the owners agree to a conference 1 enabling the men to express their grievances and have them adjusted. The owners reply that the federation, having declared the resumption of normal work under existing conditions was impossible, have now, in seeking .a conference, thrown off the mask of their pretended desire to. reach the Arbitration Court, which was actually the very last thing they desired. SHIP DECLARED BLACK. SYDNEY, Novi 28. The Union Company's steamer Kiwitea. has been placed on the black list at Newcastle where .she arrived with a load of zinc from Hobart. The wharf labourers refuse to unload the cargo because it was loaded by the Zinc Company’s own employees.
