SELECTING CREWS.
j A NEW SCHEME. (Received Jan. 4, 9.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, Jan. 4. The Seamen's Union is introducing a new system for supplying labour for j the shipping companies.1 It proposes to place the whole of the members of the | union on a roster. When a ship reI quires a crew the number wanted will be chosen by the uinon from those at the head of the roster. It is anticipated that the shipowners and officers of the vessels will oppose the scheme and demand the right to choose the men they desire. It is stated that many members of the union object to the proposal, and a new union may be formed if an attempt is made to enforce the scheme. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
