UNION DISCIPLINE.
STRICTLY ENFORCED.
ANOTHER INCIDENT QUOTED.
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT, Received 1.5 p.m. to-day. SYDNEY, Dec. 30.
The Commonwealth Shipping Line has offered the bosun who was forced to leave his ship by the union re-em-ployment, but he declined the offer.. The company’s statement regarding the case presumed that the man acted under pressure from the union, not being disposed to ask for trouble, as he probably knew that if he had offered to sign on he would have been disciplined. It quotes a previous similar case where a man who was sticking by the owners was dismissed from the membership of the union and afterwards found it impossible to obtain employment on vessels on the Australian register. The statement claims that the action taken by the union in the ’bosun’s case amounts to a complete boycott by the union of all shipping in Australia.
