DISPUTE OVER FORDSDALE
Received Julv 22, 10.15 a.m. ADELAIDE. July 22.
Owing to local influence in the direction of treating the Commonwealth steamer Fordsdale as a “black” ship, the executive of the Port Adelaide Trades and Labour Council interviewed tile crew in an effort to bring about a settlement, of the trouble between the Now South Wales branch of the Seamen’s Union and the crew of the ship. No men accepted engagements when attempts were made to pick gangs of watersiders to discharge the cargo. The crew of the vessel agreed to place themselves in the hands of the Sydney branch of the Seamen’s Union and to leave thcsliip at that port. The crews of the tugs refused to handle to towlines of the Fordsdale, which was then brought from her anchorage lo the wharf by the pilot.— Press Association.
