NEW ORGANISATION. FORMED IN NEW SOUTH: WALES. ATTITUDE OF OWNERS. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received April 8, 0.4.*5 a.m. SYDNEY, April 8. Tho new Seamen’s Union, known as the New South Wales Coastal Seamen’s and Firemen’s Union, has been registered. Tho attitude of the coastal steanir ship owners towards the members of the Federated Seamen’s Union has been that, while they aro members of a union which governs or controls both inter-State and coastal steamers, the seamen on the coast of New Soutli Wales are not their own masters as far as the union is concerned, for the reason that, in matters affecting purely their own State, they are outvoted by those employed in the interstate trade. The , Steamships-ownefs’ Association has informed the iinion that as long as the body remains as at present constituted and under the present leaders it does not propose to re-engage union men. —Press Association.
