NEARING THE END.
NO TERMS UNTIL WORK RESUMED.
PORT AUTHORITY FIRM.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT.]
London, June 18.
Sir G. K. Askwith wrote to Lord Devonport endeavouring to arrange terms for the transport workers to resume.
Lord Devonport replied declining, but promised to meet representatives of the men if they wished. He was willing to discuss any suggestions made by the Government. The Foreman Lightermen’s Society manned a dozen tugs and brought a number of barges to Tilbury, Victoria, Surrey and Commercial docks. The police guarded the barges. The sailors’ and firemen’s ballot resulted in a vote against a strike.
BLOCKING DIVERTED
STEAMERS
LINERS HELD UP.
(Received 19, 10.30 a.m.) London, June 18
The strike committee states that machinery is put in operation for blocking all vessels diverted to Continental or Home ports. Several Atlantic liners are delayed at Southampton where two hundred extra police have arrived with outside labour, also imported. Owing to the strike the departure of the* Waimana, Rangatira and Norseman is postponed indefinitely. They carry 2500 immigrants for New South Wales and 50 for Victoria.
