The Shipping Strike.
VICTORIA THE COCKPIT. TACTICS OF UNIONS. TO MEET EMPLOYERS. I By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright.! Melbourne, Feb. 14, At the All-Australia Union Conference on February 17th it is anticipated that certain union officials will propose that Victoria be made the cockpit of the shipping dispute and that the miners and trimmers be asked to take action to prevent coal reaching Victoria. This may involve the Railway Union. Mr Holloway, secretary of the Trades’ Hall Council, says that in view of the attitude of the employers the feeling is growing that the new slogan should he “mines to miners” and “ships to seamen.” A mass meeting of stevedores, by an overwhelming majority, decided to ratify the terms provisionally agreed upon by the Steamship Owners’ Federation and the executive of the Watersiders’ Federation, which provides for the payment of 2s 9d per hour ordinary tiiiie and 3s 9d for overtime till midnight and 4s 6d after midnight. STEVEDORES’ SETTLEMENT. (Received 15, 11.15 a.m. Melbourne, Feb. 15. P «rl Phillip sievedores accepted th* shipowners’ offer by 874 votes to 11. The terms provide payment of an extra sixpence per hour on holidays and Sundays.—(A. and N.Z.)
