FEDERAL SEAMEN
, STRIKE POSITION REVIEW. * (Australian Press Association). (Received this' day at 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, July 13. Whether the crew of the Aorangi, >ho are mcnihers of the Australian Seanen’s Unions, will be withdrawn from the vessel in sympathy with the Vancouver strikers will be decided at a special meeting of the Union on Tuesday. The seamen 'said militant mem hers of the crew had made arrangements with unemployed members of the Union to endeavour to compel the Aorangi’s crew to tie. up the vessel, and would submit a motion along those lines at Tuesday’s meeting., It is believed, however, such a move ■will be vigorously opposed by the moderate section who are expected to he in the majority. Wharf labourers continue to unload v the Aorangi. This is regarded as another rebuff to the Communists who ! had placarded the waterfront witn stickers, declaring the Aorangi “black.”
