SEAMEN’S DISPUTE.
OUTLOOK GLOOMY
ONE STEAMER TIED UP.
BY CABLE—PREBS ASSOCIATION-COPYRIGHT SYDNEY, Dec. 30.
The.dispute between, the shipowners and the seamen over the stop-work meeting took a serious turn when a call was made for a crew for the steamer Makarra. There was no response, and the owners tied the vessel up indefinitely. Similar trouble was experienced when the owners of the steamer Saros called for a crew, and the cargo of that vessel was transferred to another steamer of the same line. Although the outlook is gloomy, the seamen being determined on reprisals, so far there is no suggestion of the passenger steamers in the port, becoming immediately involved.
