The decision of the seamen to resume work on coastal vessels constituted a victory for the owners. Th o strikes will have to wait until vacancies occur in crews before they can re-enter the service. The decision caused a surprise in shipping circles, as the seamen had emphatically stated at the beginning of the strike that they would not resume duty until the owners had dispensed with the services of volunteers. The seamen also decided to lift the “black’’ embargo placed on vessels of the Newcastle and Hunter River Company. It is expected the waterside workers will also declare the strike off at the weekly meeting to-day.—(A. and N.Z.) WATERSIDERS RESUME WORK. Adelaide, March 30. The watersiders at Adelaide have declared the overtime strike off and have resumed work. NEWCASTLE COLLIERS’ ULTIMATUM. Sydney, March 30. The colliery engine drivers in the Newcastle coal field have sent an ultimatum to the proprietors that if the latter do not grant a conference within seven days to discuss a number of the men’s grievances they will cease work.
