EXPELLED FROM UNION.
COURT’S DECISION DISREGARDED. Sydney, Nov. 6. The Equity Court last week declared that the expulsion from the Seamen’s Union of a former member of the Fordsdale’s crew was ultra vires and illegal. One of the causes of the trouble on ( the Ferndale is that several of the Fortlsdale’s original crew are being employed on that vessel. Apparently the courts decision is being flouted by the union. It is understood an offer has been made by union officials that, providing those men who were formerly expelled from the Seamen’s Union agreed to leave the Ferndale immediately the question of their reinstatement would be placed be fore the next stop work meeting of the union. The insinuation of tflis offer is that the men affected are not at present members of the union, and that the decision of the Equity Court is being disregarded, and the interim injunction restraining union officials for interfering with their rights as members of the union is not being obeyed. It is stated that a certain legal process is being placed in operation. —(A. and N.Z.)
